The Burrito is a van, which appears in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto IV.
Description
The Burrito is considered to be the best van in the GTA III era games. It has great handling, acceleration, control, etc. It has room for four people, two can sit in the rear and some models come with a spoiler on the roof.
The GTA: Vice City, GTA: San Andreas and GTA: Vce City Stories renditions resemble a 1986-1992 Dodge Ram Van, bearing similarity to the Rumpo in Grand Theft Auto III, which was modified in GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas, but lack side windows. The Burrito from the three games are also available in modified form, with an additional spoiler and roof-mounted lights.
The Burrito is reintroduced in GTA IV in a redesigned form, bearing a Declasse brand and resembling a mid-1990s Chevrolet Express from the front, but the rear more alike the Dodge-derived rear found on the San Andreas Burrito. The change is also accompanied by degraded performance as it is not as fast as previous renditions, and the GTA IV rendition of the van no longer features sporty accessories. The Burrito appears more like a service van (with a roof rack), with extra weight to withstand damage, but poor acceleration because of it's uneven weight. The companies depicted on the Burrito include T. Watt and Sons Electricians, Spin on This Laundromat and Pharte Gas.
Variants
Gang Burrito
The Burrito is adopted as a gang vehicle in both GTA: Vice City and GTA IV: The Lost and Damned. Known as the Gang Burrito, the variant features additional modifications, including unique accessories and custom paintjobs. The TLAD Gang Burrito also see the introduction of certain sporty accessories omitted in the GTA IV rendition of the Burrito.
Yellow Burrito
A special Burrito can be obtained in GTA: San Andreas, essentially a Burrito with a yellow paintjob. To obtain it, start the mission "Mike Toreno" and get up to the point where T-bone and Mike start shooting at the van. Their bullets will not damage the van, allowing the player to get a Tow Truck/Tractor. Once the player obtains one, get back to the van and kill T-bone or Mike, failing the mission. Tow the van to the nearest garage and save.
Laundromat
A special model of the Burrito in GTA IV, dubbed the Laundromat, is used by the Laundromat owner who attempts to escape from Niko in Vlad's mission Hung Out to Dry. It seems to be unintended to be driven by the player, but nonetheless, if the player goes around the back of the Laundromat during the mission, it can be stolen and saved at a safehouse. Basically, it is a Burrito with a different paintjob.
