Want to celebrate National Burrito Day at one by finding some of the best burritos in Tampa? We've got some great suggestions.

Each year Mexican food lovers celebrate their love for these deliciously stuffed tortillas on the first Thursday in April. So it's right around the corner. It's happening on April 4 this year.

We've seen burritos have somewhat of an evolution. The OG Mexican burrito is going to be largely stuffed with meat and beans. But obviously, burritos aren't just a Mexican thing. Their popularity has spread around the world, and we can find them everywhere. We certainly love burritos in America and specifically, Tampa has some great spots. We'll get into those in just a moment.

But first, a little more history about the burrito. Some burrito fun facts, if you will. We've only been able to enjoy burritos in the United States since the 1930s. What's a world like without burritos??? What did the ladies and gents do in the roaring in twenties do without burritos?

There's one spot that I wanted to put on the list for their creativity and because I'm a major sushi lover. Technically, they serve burritos. But I couldn't quite fit Zukku on the list. They are located at 1910 N Ola Avenue in Tampa Heights.

You can actually build your own sushi burrito here. Spicy and spicy mayo a tortilla? Delicious!

Though Zukku didn't make this list, I think you'll enjoy our selections. And while vibes and atmosphere are important when selecting dining spots, we really focused on who could deliver the most quality...the absolute best burrito.

So celebrate your love for the best burritos in Tampa. Check out our list below with some of the most incredible places. Enjoy your burrito and sip a Dos Equis or a Margarita.

Taco Son's burritos are to die for. THIS is where you will find real, authentic Mexican food.

Gotta go with a chain here, and Moe's is the best. They're ingredients always taste so fresh.

Green Lemon has amazing food, top to bottom. And this includes their burritos. Freshest ingredients and tangy zippy sauces to top it off.

Not only are the burritos the bomb, the ambiance is clutch. And an extra bonus...they have some of the best street corn in town. Besito is a Tampa Mexican bucket list spot.

Miguel's is a Tampa staple and is one of the go-to places for some classic Mexican food. They've been serving Tampa for over 20 years. We love the grilled fajita and pork burrito. Try it yourself at 3035 W. Kennedy Blvd.
