Best Burritos in Astoria
Master Critic Review
Poke Burrito Astoria
7.9
A non-traditional burrito stop where the sushi-burrito format is the point—fresh fish, crisp toppings, and a clean wrap when you don’t over-sauce it. It’s best for a fast, modern lunch that still feels composed, especially if you pick one bold sauce and keep the build balanced.
