Los Angeles is first and foremost a taco town, but that shouldn’t preclude the city from also competing in the all-important burrito category. After all, who among us doesn’t occasionally crave a big tortilla, wound tightly around some stewed meat or grilled carne asada or — heaven forbid — some french fries.

From bean and cheese classics to breakfast staples, some of LA’s most iconic burritos remain classics for decades. And, more recently, a crew of young upstarts have begun to change the way that greater Los Angeles sees the burrito; not as second fiddle to the taco, but as something more.

Here now are 17 awesome burritos to try, from all across greater Los Angeles.
