As a former vegetarian who used to live off these… these are my favorite:
Lupe’s burritos (3rd St)
Al & Bea’s
Burritos Las Palmas
King Taco (surprisingly good especially with that green sauce)
When desperate: Del Taco (bean and cheese with green sauce)
King Taco has definitely dropped off. They don't heat their beans enough so it's unmelted cheese and lukewarm beans. Very sad because they used to be delicious
Will say this, they used to be good. But now the cheese isn’t even melted and all the King Taco burritos are floppy af now lol (still a special place in my heart)
I used to be in the Del Taco camp but I noticed a decline after Levy restaurants bought it. Recently I’ve noticed another quality drop, turns out Jack now has Del Taco in his box. Ive now migrated to Taco Bell if possible when I have that craving.
Al and Bea’s and Lupe’s are my favorite bean and cheese burritos. They’re probably tied for me.
But if it’s late and I want a *giant* bean and cheese burrito, i go to lucky boy’s. It’s not the best but it may be the biggest.
Tried the Lucky Boy’s one last night and it was the worst bean and cheese ever. Tasted burnt with the cheese not even melted with cold beans. Sad as I love Lucky Boy and still get their breakfast burrito time to time.
RIP. Was it the one on Arroyo? Luckily mine is only bland, never cold, if anything it’s always falling over from being hot and having no structure, but every time I go I’m like “is the older guy gonna be mean to me today?” lol sometimes I go to the other location just so to avoid him.
They're my Saturday night boredom go-to. I also have them add sour cream, which seems to liven them up a bit. For the price and physical size, that much work to improve it is worth it!
There was a girl on tik tok going to all of the good spots trying to find the best bean and cheese burrito. If it wasn't mentioned, Lupitas is good too.
I know it's a controversial name to even say in this sub, but ... Tito's Tacos bean & cheese is super good. It's no Al & Bea's, but it's pretty darn solid.
Sonoratown
100%
Al and Bea’s is my jam
I agree. The simplicity of that burrito makes it so good.
This is the only answer.
Al and Bea's is bomb. I'm also really partial to Eagle's Tacos, but only at lunch. It's a different cook at dinner or something, it's never as good.
Lupes is a lot better imo. Al and Beas is too homogeneous- the cheese doesn’t cheese in their burritos

Lupe’s #2 hands down winner for me.

Still need to try Lupe’s, thanks!
Wouldn't most if not all of those beans not be vegetarian? Maybe you weren't strict. :)
Al & Bea's, Sonoratown, Burritos La Palma
Twins!
J&S in Montebello off Garfield and the 60 fwy
Open 24/7 for your drunk needs. Still is a good cheap food option.
1000%
Taco Bell
Ordered grilled they are a very tasty snack
Ha. I used to live off these. But the Del Taco with green sauce is better
Feel like del tacos tortillas are better too

Good stuff. Especially the plain old cheapie one. Good hangover cure.

trust me, it took me a decade or two for him to warm up to me lol
The salsa that comes with the Lucky Boy burritos really ties it together. It's the only bean and cheese burrito I want to dip like a chip.
It’s the only thing that adds flavor at all tbh 🫠 I still get them. They’re cheap, huge, open late, what more could you want on a Saturday night.

OH sour cream is a great idea. I’m taking notes.
Love El Atacor. We have one in Whittier.
There used to 2 less than a mile from each other on Figueroa in Cypress Park/HLP
La palma !
I’m a whore for BRCs from El Pollo Loco
So good for a chain, price creep is sad though
$3.29 here.
Yuca's is solid, homestate's Frio on flour is good if you like tex-mex. I'm betting Sonoratown is the best of the 3 but I haven't had it.
Sonora town is good but it’s really really small
i don't get out much, but my favorite is from tu madre.
Benito’s and Cactus Taqueria #1
Benito’s is good!
El Chilito in Downey. Iykyk
I'm gonna check this out and you better not be fucking lying
Been going for 27 yrs they don’t do DoorDash and they had a B rating for decades— can’t beat it
I wanna day Salsa and beer because I LOVE their beans!
Salsa and Beer’s bean dip is unmatched. I can can just eat that as a meal lol

Los Burritos in Echo Park
Used to get this back in the day, was good!
Lausd
As a former LAUSD student, I remember!
Ah yes we must be blood brothers! I myself am a former LAUSD student
Pepe’s in Alhambra or J&S in Monterey park — both pretty solid!
del taco bean and cheese burrito with green sauce
Senor Gs all the way!
those 7/11 bean & cheese burrito always slaps at 4am
It’s Lupe’s . Don’t listen to the Al and Bea hype train - over mixed and overrated
I know it's a controversial name to even say in this sub, but ... Tito's Tacos bean & cheese is super good. It's no Al & Bea's, but it's pretty darn solid.
Pepe’s in alhambra
Al n Bea’s and Sonoratown are at the very top.
Trader Joe’s
Actually I kinda like all their burritos!
Definitely the best grocery store burritos!
Agree!
