This woman I used to work with would bring in BBs from Food City, and they were amazing. I'm not sure if all Food Citys have them...

Kinda just outside the bounds of downtown is Salsitas - there's one on 27th Avenue & Van Buren and another one on 24th Street & Van Buren.

Their breakfast burritos are pretty sizable, decently tasty, and cheap - I can't remember paying more than 4 or 5 bucks.

As a sidenote, some place called America's Favorite Tacos is finally opened on 7th Street, just north of Palm Lane.

Another sidenote - one of the many things I love about Austin and south Texas is breakfast tacos.

If anyone has the hookup on breakfast tacos in Phoenix, make it known.

Del Taco is the only place that I've heard of that has breakfast tacos.

I like a lot of things about Matt's, but one thing I do not like is the hashbrowns. And once I found some coleslaw in the bottom of my coffee mug after I had the whole slawcoffee.

matt's is great - but I usually lack the patience. wish it hadn't been on food network...

palette? tried it once, not my cup of tea.

we go into first watch on thomas sometimes. switch has a pretty good breakfast menu.

america's taco shop is actually open now? I'll have to give it a try.

salsita's is ok? the 24th st spot isn't too far away.

maybe it's cause I went to college in tucson, but I tend to think of breakfast burritos as primarily late night, like on the way home from a party, type food.

this is a good conversation :-)

Another vote for Carolina's. I've been going there for 10 years, it hasn't changed a bit. Consistently awesome.

[chadk]

so we were going to give matts another chance butsaw agin 20 plyus people waiting, so scrapped that idea, and went to mazzies on central. it just opened up recently, we have been the 4 times and love it. it's arcoss the street from tracks n wax

[aaronburke]

i'll check mazzie's out

Someone mentioned Chico's early on and I recently came across and ad proclaiming $1.99 breakfast burritos.

Also, I have no idea how I forgot about these two 7th Avenue mainstays:

- El Norteno on 7th Avenue & Roosevelt

I haven't eaten there in forever but I'm pretty sure it's good and cheap still.

- Azteca Restaurant & Bakery on 7th Avenue & Polk (I think), just north of Van Buren

Haven't been there in a while either, but it's always a favorite!

Further up 7th Ave (on Osborn, in the same strip mall as Peter Piper Pizza) is Eriberto's, too.

Re: Lolo's Chicken & Waffles

A great alternative to breakfast burritos ... if you like Lolo's fried chicken and omelets, you'll like their chicken breast omelet. They essentially just dump fried chicken into the egg.

Re: Mazzie's - good looking out! I want to check it out.

Re: Matt's Big Breakfast

I definitely dig Matt's, but I concede that the wait can be annoying. I've been lucky enough to get there just before a gaggle of people come through.

What's funny is that a friend and I went on the same weekend that people were shooting stuff for the aforementioned Food Network appearance. A couple that got seated actually requested to be sat at a table that would be in the background, rather then obscured by that partial wall thing. Their bratty intuition was correct since a famous Hollywood producer saw them in the background for 3 seconds, recognized their potential star power, and then cast them in the upcoming movie, Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2: 2 Fast 2 Furry-ous.

[Hooray For Everything]

Carolinas is indeed the stuff....are we talking Downtown specifically? Central Phoenix?

I'm always down with El Norteno...

You can't get much more downtown than that...

7th Ave & Rosie ...

What about Oaxaca? Amazing place, real ol' school downtown, not some fluffy pansy-ass place.

Fuck it, go to Carolinas and get some tortillas, get some soyrizo (the best thing evvvvvver), some whole pinto beans, queso fresco, potatoes, etc...& make your own...
