Mouthful - Burritos

Chipotle Whether or not you hate that McDonald’s owns this chain, you gotta admit the food tastes fresh and consistent. All the meats served at Chipotle are organically raised and hormone free. Our fave burrito combo? Pork carnitas with black beans and green salsa, with a heaping helping of guacamole.

El Potro Convivial and sometimes downright loud on weekend nights, El Potro occupies a special cheap eats place in many Atlantans’ hearts. Special No. 28 is a practice in guilty pleasures, with two massive burritos the size of fire logs filled with chicken or beef, rice and beans, and smothered in a goopy, creamy coat of white cheese sauce.

Matilda Bean Tipping the scales just a few ounces under the bantam weight class, Matilda’s immense burritos require strength training on the eater’s behalf to properly heft the meaty delight to one’s gaping mouth. The popular Tony Montana burrito crammed with seared steak, peppers, rice and refried beans is a pleasurable, never-ending Tex-Mex marathon.

Raging Burrito Tired of the lines at Decatur’s Taqueria del Sol? Raging Burrito is a worthy alternative, with a spiffy atmosphere that qualifies as an astute cheap date destination. The menu vacillates nicely between admirably traditional and tastefully creative burritos: Try the raging burrito if you’re famished, or the pineapple jerk burrito for something out of the ordinary.
