The Republic has carefully selected 14 contenders from its list of 100 essential restaurants, ensuring a diverse and mouth-watering lineup. From affordable carne asada burros to spicy chicken and fish burritos, there's something for every taste. But wait, there's more! Two wildcard spots are up for grabs, so if your favorite burrito joint isn't listed, submit it for a chance to join the battle.
The competition is fierce, with returning favorites like Birrieria Obregon and Tacos Chiwas, and new entrants like Lulaá Oaxacan Street Food and Mis Nietos Cocina. Each restaurant brings its unique flavor and style to the table, from the upscale sirloin asada at Casa Corazon to the super spicy chiles at Los Dos Molinos.
