El Zarape

Score 87/100 · Order: Lobster burrito · $18

El Zarape's lobster burrito is the most indulgent burrito on this list. The lobster is cooked gently, leaving it sweet and tender, and the chipotle crema adds a smoky, slightly spicy layer that complements the shellfish without overpowering it. Rice and beans are minimal, which is the right call for a burrito built around seafood. The tortilla is fresh and lightly griddled, and the burrito is wrapped neatly enough to hold together. It is expensive for a burrito, but the quality of the ingredients and the care in execution make it a worthwhile splurge.

The lobster breakfast burrito is a splurge. Unique and indulgent, but not the everyday answer.

Score 84/100 · Order: Lobster taco · $8

El Zarape's lobster taco is a splurge item that delivers on flavor. The lobster is tender and sweet, the chipotle crema adds a smoky heat, and the tortilla is fresh and warm. The price is high for a single taco, but the quality of the shellfish justifies it as a treat. The University Heights location is casual and friendly, and the taco pairs well with a margarita. It is not an everyday fish taco, but it is a memorable one for a special occasion or a date night.
