Big Burritos! Definitive guide to Milwaukee’s behemoths

Café Corazón was named best burrito in Wisconsin

Southeastern Wisconsin delivers an impressive variety of oversized burritos, from $6-something sirloin-stuffed classics at neighborhood taquerias to a $27 "biggest in the region" behemoth at a full-service Racine restaurant. This guide covers 70+ locations across Milwaukee, the North Shore, Waukesha County, Ozaukee County, Washington County, Racine County, and Kenosha County, organized geographically so you can find a massive burrito wherever you are.

The region's strength lies in its authentic taquerias, many family-owned for decades, serving portions so generous that reviews consistently mention needing take-home containers. Whether you want a football-sized burrito from a neighborhood spot or a customizable creation from a fast-casual chain with free guacamole, this guide has you covered. If you want the wider lay of the land first, start with our roundup of the best Mexican food in greater Milwaukee and our guide to the best tacos near Milwaukee.

A quick note on accuracy: restaurants open, close, and reprice fast. We rechecked the headline spots in each county for this 2026 update and flagged the closures we found, but always confirm hours and prices before making the drive.

Milwaukee

Milwaukee's South Side, Walker's Point, and Bay View neighborhoods form the heart of the region's Mexican food scene, with concentrations of taquerias along Mitchell Street and National Avenue that rival any in the Midwest. The same corridor is also where you'll find the area's best tamales.

Cielito Lindo

733 S 2nd St, Milwaukee, WI 53204 (Walker's Point) Phone: (414) 649-0401 | Website: cielitolindomilwaukee.com Hours: Mon–Thu 8am–10pm, Fri–Sat 8am–4am, Sun 8am–11pm

The Super Burrito (around $9) has been called "the ultimate overlap set in the burrito Venn diagram" by OnMilwaukee — a colossus stuffed with refried beans, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, cheese, avocado, plus chicken, pork, or ground beef. One reviewer warned that you shouldn't plan on any physical activity for a couple of days after eating the pork version. Open late on weekends for post-bar-closing crowds. Dine-in, takeout, and delivery. Family-run for more than 25 years and still a Walker's Point favorite.

LoveFOOD named the Wet Burrito (around $17) the "Best Burrito in Wisconsin" — smothered in enchilada sauce, Monterey Jack, and lime cilantro crema, with your choice of pork, chorizo, shrimp, or beef. The Cruncher takes things further: a flour tortilla filled with rice, beans, protein, and cheese, then deep-fried and drenched in queso sauce (a worthy stop on any nachos and totchos crawl). Farm-to-table sourcing from the family farm keeps ingredients fresh, and there are strong vegan options. Family-owned since 2009 and now celebrating 15-plus years.

Look for Burrito Mondays (25% off) and $2 Taco Tuesdays and Thursdays. Born and raised in Milwaukee, with additional locations in Brookfield (see Waukesha County, below) and Madison. Note: BelAir has shuffled its footprint — the Oak Creek location is a newer addition, and the former downtown Water Street spot no longer appears on BelAir's location list, so confirm before heading downtown.

If you're chasing size and value, a few spots stand out across the region. In Milwaukee, Cielito Lindo's Super Burrito is the colossus to beat, while Café Corazón's Wet Burrito earned a "Best Burrito in Wisconsin" nod. Up in Brown Deer, Banda Burrito's El Bandacoa is a wallet-friendly heavyweight. In Waukesha County, Taco Jalisco serves a famously football-sized burrito for taqueria prices, and Oconomowoc's Fiesta Cancun stacks an entire menu of burritos labeled HUGE. Head north and West Bend's Don Ramon piles on with the Texano and California burritos, while Slinger's Polanco loads the Chicano Burrito with five proteins. Racine's Mi Tierra makes the boldest claim of all with Don Chuy's Fajita Burrito ($27), likely the region's actual largest. And in Kenosha County, the value champs reign: Los Cantaritos' Belt-Busting Steak, Tacos El Rey's legendary sirloin tip, and Iguana Wana's "size of a baby" creations in Pleasant Prairie.

The Bottom Line

Southeastern Wisconsin's big-burrito landscape rewards exploration beyond the obvious chains. The region's authentic taquerias — many family-owned for decades — consistently deliver the most generous portions at the best values. Tacos El Rey in Kenosha and Taco Jalisco in Waukesha turn out near-football-sized burritos at fast-food prices, while Mi Tierra in Racine delivers what may be the region's actual largest burrito with Don Chuy's Fajita.

For those prioritizing authenticity over size alone, Milwaukee's South Side corridor (Mitchell Street and National Avenue) and Kenosha's 52nd Street hub offer the densest concentrations of traditional Mexican cooking. Lake Country destinations like Fiesta Cancun in Oconomowoc and Seester's on Pewaukee Lake pair substantial portions with scenic settings. And the chains — QDOBA with its free guacamole and queso, and Chipotle with its reliable one-pound burritos — make for dependable fallbacks in nearly every community.
