So... I've been downtown for 3 years now, still trying to find an outstanding & cheap breakfast burrito.

They do good work at La Tolteca on Van Buren, but they upcharge for pretty much anything besides eggs. Add in potatoes, cheese, bacon (or whatever) and we're talking about a $6 or $7 breakfast burro. That's absurd.

Used to know of a few good places over in Tempe where it'd be a more reasonable $3.25 or so for a fully equipped burrito. ANYWAY, just looking for a recommendation before dropping into any random taco shop.

Carolina's is good and cheap - really good tortillas

i'd pay 8 bucks for a breakfast burrito if it tastes like pete's kitchen breakfast burritos, but i have not yet found one.

damnit

sorry for the un-answer.

How about Tradiciones at 16th Street and Roosevelt? I've never had a breakfast burrito there but it might be worth looking into.

OR .. ... CHICOs TACOs ... mmm @ 7th Street and McDowell.

I'm with Jacki O, I LOVE ME SOME CAROLINA'S!

Oh those tortillas........

ROP was telling me about Two Hippies the other day after I had read a very good local review on the place. Not sure about the prices or if they have breakfast. Sorry to jump in on your nice thread. MMmmmm Carolina's though, good one.

[aaronburke]

two hippies is awesome, no breakfast though.
however, you get a great burger, chips, and can of soda for $5 even including tax.
pretty amazing.

chico's eh? that's the one next to subway/starbucks? is it any good? doesn't seem right to me. :-)

Tradiciones (if you haven't been) is a for-reals restaurant, relatively expensive... I get my parents to take us there or meet us for happy hour sometimes. It's not a cheap late night burrito option. The food court inside the Ranch Market is good and much more reasonably priced, BUT I'm not that into their breakfast burros (they're always donating them by the dozen for various Garfield neighborhood activities).

I will get over to Carolinas, but according to the munu they only do breakfast burros in the morning.

[unluckycharm]

chico's is good and have reasonable prices, but i do not know about their breakfast menu.

Carolina's is radness.

La Canasta on W. Van Buren (13th St-ish) or the one on 7th Ave just south of that overpass. What about Oaxaca? Don't know if they do breakfast but I had a good lunch there once.

La Canasta has the best red sauce in town - IMO.

[skeksis]

a little confused: Canasta at 13th st or ave? W. Van Buren suggests ave... seems like I've seen it when I used to go over towards the willow house mkII.

Phoenix City Hall cafeteria, if you can grab a metered parking space -- but also only in the morning; geez, you're picky.

tofu scrambled with mushrooms and potatoes at home.... the best!
