Forkelo ranking · Updated October 2026
7 carne asada burritos across New York City, ranked on what people say about the dish itself — never the restaurant's overall rating.
Super Burrito · Williamsburg, Brooklyn
10 dish-specific mentions · 80% positive · 1 source type · menu verified October 2026
Fans call it NYC's closest thing to an SF burrito: huge, juicy and loaded with tender asada. Critics found later ones mostly rice and beans, with cheaper, overcooked meat.
Son del North · Lower East Side, Manhattan
12 dish-specific mentions · 58% positive · 1 source type · menu verified October 2026
Fans call the carne asada burrito the best in NYC, packed with quality steak, beans and cheese in a great tortilla. Critics found the steak rubbery or bland and the price high.
La Taq · Park Slope, Brooklyn
5 dish-specific mentions · 80% positive · 1 source type · menu verified October 2026
Fans call the East LA carne asada burrito perfect, packed with flavorful meat and big enough for two meals. One critic found mealy fries and too little steak for the price.
Mister Burrito Loco · Sunnyside, Queens
4 dish-specific mentions · 100% positive · 1 source type · menu verified October 2026
Regulars call the steak burrito consistently flavorful, with generous portions and plenty of guac. The one knock is that it runs a little pricey.
Nene's Taqueria · Gowanus, Brooklyn
5 dish-specific mentions · 80% positive · 1 source type · menu verified October 2026
Fans call the asada burrito one of the best around, with lots of flavorful meat in every bite. One San Diego native found the asada California burrito soggy and limp.
Summer Salt · Flatiron, Manhattan
7 dish-specific mentions · 57% positive · 1 source type · menu verified October 2026
Fans call the carne asada burrito huge, well seasoned and true to SoCal, especially Cali style with tots. Critics found salty rice, a loose wrap and missing add-ons.
Taqueria Coatzingo · Jackson Heights, Queens
6 dish-specific mentions · 50% positive · 1 source type · menu verified October 2026
Fans call the carne asada burrito huge, fresh and flavorful, close to a California one. Critics found the steak bland and not fire-grilled, and the burrito merely typical.
Every score is built from evidence about the specific dish: how often locals recommend it, how strongly, how recently, and whether independent sources agree. A restaurant's overall star rating is never converted into a dish score.
Quality and confidence are reported separately. A dish two people loved can score high, but it is marked limited data until more evidence backs it up. The whole calculation — every constant, and three dishes worked through line by line — is written out on the methodology page.
