Decades ago, finding an enjoyable breakfast burrito was near impossible in NYC; however, several establishments are bringing this portable egg and cheese treat back into fashion.
Electric Burrito launched into the East Village last year to showcase lesser-seen Southern California-style burritos with french fries and carne asada. Check out their Break of Day burrito for scrambled eggs, chorizo, roasted potatoes, cheddar, and jack cheese!
1. Electric Burrito
Alex Thaboua and Will Wyatt of East Village restaurant Electric Burrito offer something New Yorkers might not be used to: Southern California burritos filled with French fries! Opening on May 17 at 81 St. Marks Place, these veterans of cocktail bar Mister Paradise have created overstuffed options like Breakfast Burritos filled with eggs and beans, Chorizo Burritos filled with chorizo, egg, cheese, as well as the Veggie Breakfast Burrito with chipotle portobello providing some added filling; you can add carne asada or pollo asado as well.
This menu boasts numerous vegetarian offerings, making it a fantastic choice for those with dietary restrictions. Furthermore, burritos can easily be reheated in the microwave – providing an efficient way of preparation! Cover them with a paper towel while heating them in one-minute increments to avoid overheating, which may result in their demise!
Vegetarian burritos can be an excellent way to help individuals seeking to shed excess weight. Their combination of protein, carbohydrates, and fats provides a balanced energy supply while limiting overeating and nibbling. Furthermore, the vegetables featured in vegetarian burritos provide essential calcium, vitamin C, and potassium, and abundant fiber for regular bowel movements and proper digestive functioning, helping you reach your weight loss goals more rapidly and effectively than ever.
2. Downtown Bakery
Gowanus Bodega stands out from most NYC bodegas by providing an extensive menu of Mexican cuisine, including breakfast burritos. While their tacos (eggs and cheese or chorizo, potatoes, and Monterey Jack in a flour tortilla) may be most famously known, 13 other types of breakfast burritos can also be ordered here; try either their potato breakfast burrito or their chorizo con papa (eggs, potatoes, green onions, and guacamole all in a flour tortilla). Their food may be simple yet solid – note this location accepts cash only.
East Village Taqueria serves some of the city’s tastiest breakfast burritos–packed with scrambled eggs, roasted fingerling potatoes, jalapeno cream sauce, salsa verde, and shredded cheese–that are soft and thick. Plus, they come with an irresistibly delicious mole sauce you could drink straight!
Not only is this spot great for tacos, but it is also beloved among locals for breakfast burritos they take to work or school. An opening time of 3 p.m. provides ample opportunity to grab something to eat before leaving home for work or class.
Though its name might suggest otherwise, Brooklyn’s most beloved breakfast spot for decades is known for serving breakfast burritos and providing desserts and coffee at reasonable prices. Their signature Cheesy Toasted Breakfast Burrito Potato offers affordable breakfast burrito options filled with potatoes, fluffy eggs, nacho cheese sauce, and tomatoes wrapped in tortilla and grilled. You can choose red or green sauce depending on your preference – for less than $6, add toppings like guacamole, bacon, or pickled jalapeno slices!
3. Jeannine’s
Jeannine’s Restaurant is a beloved family-owned breakfast spot in downtown Santa Barbara. They believe in building community through food and strive to serve nourishing meals daily; staff are encouraged to actively engage with local community efforts.
At this restaurant, they offer 18 different breakfast burritos. Options range from the Macho Burrito (marinated pork, jalapeno, scrambled eggs, cheese, and potatoes) to Veggie Burritos with delicious fillings such as grilled onions, bell peppers, zucchini mushrooms, and scrambled eggs served with beans and salsa; you can choose your tortilla preference before selecting from our wide variety of side dishes and beverages for an enjoyable meal experience.
Breakfast burritos can be an easy and nutritious breakfast option with healthy ingredients such as whole grains, lean meats, and vegetables. Breakfast burritos provide protein, carbohydrates, and fiber while meeting some of your weight-loss goals – remember to watch how many calories and fat your meal contains!
A typical breakfast burrito typically comprises a flour tortilla, beans, rice, and meat, with ingredients varying depending on its composition. A single burrito can contain more than 900 calories, depending on what components it includes. It can hold an unhealthy dose of fat – especially saturated fat – linked with obesity and heart disease. You can avoid these issues by opting for healthier options such as bean, beef, and cheese burritos or replacing tortillas with lettuce instead of tortillas. You could even create your breakfast burrito at home, saving money and time!
4. Flip Sigi
Flip Sigi, established in 2015 and recognized by Thrillist as one of the best restaurants in New York City, is known for offering tasty Filipino twists to classic American dishes like burritos, sandwiches, and rice bowls. Their vegan options make the meal that much better! Not only is the food fantastic at Flip Sigi, but their atmosphere resembles that of an outdoor beach picnic with its wooden furniture like Adirondack chairs and various backdrops perfect for Instagram/Yelp-worthy photos, not to mention an extensive array of Filipino sauces to add spice and depth.
Recently, this restaurant expanded its presence by opening in Jersey City, perfect for anyone wanting to try its delicious cuisine without leaving home! They can be found near Rosita’s Yah at Nest Micro Apartments between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. daily.
Chef Jordan Andino, an alum of Lettuce and frequent Food Network judge, is behind the Flip Sigi franchise. With extensive culinary experience from working at world-renowned restaurants like The French Laundry and Spago, he combines cultural food traditions with classical culinary techniques to craft unique dishes that appeal to people across cultures.
Grubhub and Uber Eats make ordering breakfast burritos at home easy – enter your address, compare options for delivery restaurants, place your order, track its progress as it travels to you, and await delivery!
5. Taco Bell
With its convenient locations across the US and wide array of delicious options, Taco Bell makes an excellent fast-service breakfast burrito option. They also have tasty alternatives like Crunchwrap Supreme wraps and quesadillas that feature different ingredients; Taco Bell even partners with American brands such as Doritos and Frito-Lay to bring unique flavor combinations into their menus.
Taco Bell offers one of the best breakfast burritos: their grilled breakfast burrito. Packed full of eggs, three cheese blends, bacon, and hash browns–plus their delicious nacho cheese sauce–it offers tons of flavor! The tortilla also provides the ideal foundation to allow these ingredients to shine; add hash browns as a tasty add-in, and this burrito truly stands out.
Breakfast burrito chalupa is another option that features a crispy toasted tortilla filled with your selection of fillings and is slightly less filling than its grilled counterpart, yet still packs in plenty of flavor thanks to grilled corn salsa and cheeses that provide lots of richness to the dish.
Taco Bell’s breakfast menu boasts something for every palate imaginable, from sweet Cinnabon Delights treats to grilled or crunchy chalupas and biscuit tacos for something that combines Mexican flavor with Southern comfort food.
