Make your own. Try this one.

Garnish with shredded lettuce, sour cream, chopped tomatoes, or your favorite garnish.

Ingredients:
•1 pound lean ground beef
•½ cup chopped onion
•1 clove garlic, minced
•2 teaspoons chili powder
•1 teaspoon dried leaf oregano, crumbled
•½ teaspoon ground cumin
•½ teaspoon salt
•¼ teaspoon ground pepper
•1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
•1 can (10 ounces) enchilada sauce, divided
•6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
•shredded lettuce
•garnishes
Preparation:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, onion, and garlic until meat is browned, stirring often to break up meat. Drain well. Add chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper; simmer for 10 minutes. Add refried beans and ½ cup of enchilada sauce. Heat thoroughly.
Wrap tortillas in foil and place in a 350° oven to heat for 10 minutes. Spoon about ½ cup of the ground beef mixture onto each tortilla; roll tightly and place seam-side down on serving platter lined with shredded lettuce. Spoon remaining enchilada sauce over tortillas. Garnish and serve with any of the following: shredded cheese, sliced ripe olives, chopped tomatoes, sour cream or guacamole, and more shredded lettuce. Burrito recipe makes 6 burritos.

You must not live in California, where far-better burritos can be had on almost every block…!

Chipotle is far from a good burrito, and I never heard of Currito.

Never heard of Churrito, but Chipotle seems like an expensive Taco Bell.
My suggestion? Either make your own or go to a taco truck if one exists in your area.

Don’t think they have Currito out in California…but I love Chipotle. And this is coming from someone who’s been to every authentic burrito place in Isla Vista. It’s not that I think Chipotle is better than those places; it’s just completely different and it’s good as well. And as far as super-gringo non-authentic Mexican places go, Chipotle is by far better (much better than Baja Fresh, Rubio’s, Dos Coyotes, etc.)

I’m in California also, and I’m not familiar with Currito. As for Chipotle: The burritos are massive so I rarely ever order that unless I’m sharing, but I have to say they do taste very good. @DominicX said that Chipotle is “completely different” than the other comparable places and I have to agree with that; I think it’s just that it tastes fresher, crisper (not Taco Bell at all).
