The 7 Best Burrito Spots in Winnipeg That Prove Bigger Is Always Better
Picture me standing in line at a burrito joint, starving, fully prepared to unhinge my jaw like a snake to consume an absurdly large wrap.
The guy in front of me, clearly a rookie, asks, “Uh, how big are the burritos here?” The cashier doesn’t even blink—just points to a dude in the corner struggling to lift his burrito with both hands like it’s a newborn child.
The newbie goes pale. I, a seasoned professional, simply nod in respect.
See, in Winnipeg, this isn’t just a meal—it’s a commitment. And if your burrito isn’t roughly the size of your forearm, did you even really order one?
Lucky for you, I’ve put in the work (read: eaten an alarming number of these monsters) to find the best spots in town that understand this simple truth: bigger is always better. Let’s roll!

Their portions? Super generous! I never leave hungry, especially when I order my favorite, the Barbacoa Burrito.
The slow-cooked beef is so tender it practically melts, and they wrap it all up in a freshly pressed tortilla made with Manitoba flour. That warm, homemade feel? Unbeatable.
From there, it’s all about the customizations. You get to pick your beans and rice, then pile on toppings like fresh salsa, guacamole, cheese, and sour cream—basically everything you need for a fully loaded, flavor-packed meal.
