"Celebrating three decades this summer, this homegrown quick-service chain has grown to seven locations and endures by offering affordable, better-ingredient Mexican grill fare with options for a variety of dietary needs. Launched in 1995 at Lake and Dearborn as an assembly-line wrap concept that intentionally tiptoed around the word “burrito,” it later embraced the Mexican grill identity, with CEO Greg Schulson emphasizing, “We really do cooking at our restaurants.” The team isn’t pretending to be traditional — items like a Buffalo chicken bowl and a fried fish taco inspired by a Chicago dog appear alongside rotating specials such as barbecue beef — but the aim is to do it right and keep prices in check (“No one wants to pay $17 for a burrito”). Marking the anniversary, the brand reprises its early-2000s chef collaborations with limited-time burritos whose proceeds benefit charities: Paul Kahan’s spicy steak (marinated sirloin, Guajillo chile sauce, white rice, black beans, pico de gallo, pickled red onions, whole cilantro) from Monday, August 4, through September; Thattu’s Margaret Pak in October–November with masala Kashmiri chile char-grilled chicken, tamarind-date chutney, garlic confit raita, white rice, cilantro slaw, and pickled red onions; and Beverly Kim in December–January with a bibimbap steak burrito built on thin-sliced bulgogi, kimchi fried rice, chipotle-gochujang, marinated cabbage, and pickled red onions." - Ashok Selvam
"Super Burrito started as a stand on the Rockaway Beach boardwalk in 2017 before opening this year-round restaurant further inland. It remains one of the best places in town for a Mission-style burrito stuffed with rice, beans, cheese, and grilled meat. The year-round space has a retro stoner vibe that channels California burrito shops with booth seating and an outdoor patio." - Eater Staff
"Serves Mission-style Mexican food with a retro vibe."
"For a perfect beach meal, I often pick up a burrito from Super Burrito — they're jam-packed with quality ingredients and can easily feed a small family; when available, I go for the excellent shrimp burrito, and if I don't trust myself to eat one without making a mess on the sand I visit their indoor spot on the 69th Street strip with its fun retro interior." - Karen I.

"At Super Burrito, I can choose a compact, beach-ready San Francisco–style burrito (options include shrimp, poblano, and al pastor) or other portable items like quesadillas, chips and queso, and tacos—practical choices for a day at Rockaway Beach." - Eater Staff
