Looking to start off your morning right? Breakfast burritos are always a good choice, whether it’s a classic trio of eggs, cheese, and potatoes or something a little more daring.
Here are five local places that have perfected the breakfast burrito form.
Nopalitos Cafe, East Sacramento
Make sure to hit the ATM before picking up these burritos from this cash-only East Sac staple. Options like the chile verde breakfast burrito are excellent for those looking to stray from the traditional breakfast burrito presentation.
La Favorita Taqueria, Various locations
These are some seriously large burritos. Plan accordingly, as these dense Mexican dishes may need to be napped off afterwards. Plus, the carnitas and tomatillo breakfast burrito is nothing short of transcendent.
Adalberto’s, Various locations
This greasy, cheesy, and savory masterpiece is the one true late-night-coming-home-from-the-bar-and-leave-it-half-eaten-on-your-coffee-table breakfast burrito. If you know, you know.
Gordito Burrito, College-Glen
What we love about Gordito is the pseudo-tier system available for burrito ordering. It ranges from regular, to super, to the Breakfast Beast, which features four kinds of meat, three eggs, salsa, cheese, beans, and potatoes.
Oscar’s Very Mexican Food, Land Park + West Sacramento
When it comes to sheer quality of ingredients and consistency of taste, this is the elite breakfast burrito.
