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.
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.
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.
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.

Did you know Sacramento is home to more trees per capita than any other city in the world?
Nah, just kidding. If you know us, you know we’re here for the deep cuts — and there are plenty of interesting factoids to go around. Maybe you’ve lived here your whole life and know some of this, or maybe you’ll learn something new. Either way, test your local knowledge with these 12 interesting facts.
1. There’s a network of tunnels beneath Old Sacramento that traces the history of the original city before it was “jacked up” to a higher elevation in the 1860s-70s in an effort to avoid flooding.
2. Speaking of flooding, the impact of the Great Flood of 1862 was so great on Sacramento that Governor Leland Stanford had to travel by rowboat to his inauguration at the State Capitol Building.

Happy Thursday, Sacramento. Earth Day is on Monday, April 21 and this map can help you quickly find local events. Tap the magnifying glass icon in the upper right corner to search for “Sacramento.” I found a handful of climate change coalition meet-ups, eco-friendly summits, community clean ups, and general celebrations. Get involved and help California maintain that No. 7 greenest state spot.
