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]]. It 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. Both the GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas versions resemble a 1986-1992 Dodge Ram Van. It is very similar to the [[Grand Theft Auto III]] [[Rumpo]], which was changed in GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas, but without the side window. In GTA Vice City, the [[Sharks|Streetwannabe's]] use a [[Gang Burrito|modified version]] of this van. In GTA IV it resembles a mid '90s' Chevrolet Express from the front, but the rear is more like the Dodge-derived rear found on the San Andreas Burrito.

The GTA Vice City and Vice City Stories almost look like the A-Team van in the popular TV Series A-Team. It almost looks like it because of it's spoiler, roof lights, grille, two tone paint job, and wheels.
