Budgies Burritos
Vancouver, Canada
The read// why locals go
Budgies Burritos has been rolling vegetarian burritos at 44 Kingsway since 2005, and every item on the board can be made vegan. The kitchen keeps its range deliberately narrow — burritos, quesadillas, tacos, nachos and a tortilla soup — and prepares everything fresh each day, with gluten-free alternatives worked into most of the menu. There is a kids' list for smaller appetites. Prices sit at the cheap end of Vancouver eating, which is part of why the room fills with regulars rather than visitors. You can eat in or take it away, but the small dining room is where the place makes sense: a neighbourhood counter that has quietly outlasted most of the burrito boom around it.
