Best Burrito in Maine is at This Popular Portland Restaurant

A burrito might be the best comfort food there is.

What's not to love? We're talking about a warm and soft tortilla loaded with cheese, vegetables, rice, beans, beef, chicken, or any other protein. Then on top of that, there's salsa, hot sauce, guacamole, and sour cream to dip this handheld monster into. It's the perfect food for any occasion. Hell, there's even an entire market for breakfast burritos.

Now that we all are craving burritos, it's probably a good time to determine who might have the best one in Maine. One national website says it's a Mexican restaurant right in the heart of Portland's Arts District that takes the cake over the rest of the burrito field.

The popular website LoveFood recently named the popular restaurant Taco Escobarr as the place to grab your next burrito. The local joint has been a fixture in Portland for a decade with its tasty tacos, large margaritas, fun ambiance, and absolutely mega burritos.

This burrito is anything but standard. To start, you can choose from 10 different proteins, including steak, chicken, chorizo, fish, and even shrimp. Then the real fun begins, with rice, beans, queso fresco, red cabbage, Pico de Gallo, and a little crema. You also have the choice of adding guacamole to it (yes, please), or even smothering it with cheese and other goodies. You know, like what you would do with hash browns at Waffle House. This thing is an absolute tank, and definitely not for the faint of heart.

Now comes the best part: devouring it. This behemoth will hit those taste buds perfectly. And who knows? It might end up being two meals for you in one day.

Don't just take my word for it. Here is a little of what LoveFood had to say about Taco Escobarr's beast of a burrito.

Go for a smothered burrito and choose from 10 tasty fillings including vegan-friendly ancho chili butternut squash or grilled jalapeño and lime shrimp, both of which come highly recommended...Customers love dining in but say the burritos travel well, too.

Okay, now we will all dream about smothered burritos tonight, and that's not such a bad thing. Also, I never know why I continue to write stories on an empty stomach. It's just straight painful.

This is some great publicity for a Maine small business that continues to thrive. Congrats to Taco Escobarr on the wonderful national attention. Here's to serving many more smothered burritos to the masses.
