Find One Of The Best Burritos In America At The Shed In Santa Fe, New Mexico
To pay homage to the beloved burrito, we compiled our third-annual ranking of our country's best. We divided the more than 130 burritos that made our shortlist by region — from Albany, California, in the West; to Las Cruces, New Mexico, in the Southwest; to Boston in the Northeast. After that, we asked nearly 40 burrito experts to weigh in and vote.
We proudly presented the 35 burritos that came out on top, and The Shed made the cut.
This Santa Fe institution has been spreading the green and red chile gospel since it opened in 1953, and is so renowned that there are often lines to get in. Just about everything on the menu of traditional Hispanic and Pueblo recipes is delicious (their taco also came in at #4 on our list of America's best tacos this year), especially the legendary red chile cheese enchilada, but the green chile burrito is one of the best you'll ever encounter.
Its simplicity is what makes it so great: it's just pinto beans, white Cheddar, and onion rolled in a flour tortilla and topped with their famous green chile sauce, served with Spanish rice on the side. It's all about the chile at The Shed, and this is arguably the best way to experience it.
