Tacos get all the headlines, but a great burrito is the unsung hero of Mexican food. It's the meal that fills you up, travels well in a takeout bag, and satisfies in a way that few other handheld foods can. And when the ingredients inside are made with the same care as a sit-down dinner, a burrito becomes something special.
At Roadside Taco in Studio City, the burritos are built on the same foundation as everything else on the menu: quality ingredients, generous portions, and no filler.
What's Inside Every Burrito
Every burrito on the menu starts with a warm flour tortilla and is filled with rice, pinto beans, grilled onions, lettuce, sour cream, and avocado salsa — plus your choice of protein. That's a complete meal wrapped in a single package, with no sides needed (though a margarita doesn't hurt).
Six Protein Options
Chicken burrito — tender grilled chicken, the most popular all-rounder. $15.
Al Pastor burrito — marinated pork with the sweet-savory flavor that makes al pastor one of LA's favorite taco fillings, now wrapped up with all the fixings. $15.
Carne Asada burrito — grilled steak that brings richness and char. The premium choice for steak lovers. $17.
Baja Fried Fish burrito — crispy fried fish with all the burrito accompaniments. A surf-style option that's heartier than the taco version. $17.
Cauliflower burrito — the vegan option, seasoned and grilled cauliflower with all the classic fillings. Fully plant-based when ordered without sour cream. $17.
Potato burrito — the other vegan choice, with crispy fried potato adding comfort-food satisfaction. $17.
The Burrito vs. the Bowl
Can't decide between a burrito and a bowl? Here's the difference: the burrito wraps everything in a flour tortilla for a handheld, portable meal. The bowl skips the tortilla and serves everything over rice for a lighter, deconstructed version. Same ingredients, same proteins, same prices — just a matter of whether you want the tortilla or not.
For takeout and delivery, the burrito tends to travel better. For eating in, it's dealer's choice.
Why These Burritos Stand Out
The difference between a Roadside Taco burrito and what you'll get at a fast-casual chain comes down to ingredients. The rice is seasoned and made fresh. The pinto beans are cooked properly — creamy, not mushy. The avocado salsa is made in-house with real avocado. And the proteins are the same ones used in the tacos — grilled, marinated, and prepared to order, not sitting in a steam tray.

Delivery and Takeout
Burritos are the ideal delivery order — they hold up well during transport, stay warm, and don't lose their structure the way tacos sometimes can. Order online for delivery, call 818-452-9007 for takeout, or just walk into 10628 Ventura Blvd, Studio City, and order at the counter.
