Yeah, that's cilantro in there ...

  • Machaca breakfast burrito, $3.68
  • Price per ounce: 25 cents 
  • Fork or hand burrito: hand, although loosely wrapped
  • Tortilla quality: A  
  • Here because: You need something quick before class at Pima West. Me? I traveled 20 minutes to get here from the south side, which may have clouded my judgment. But hey whatever, I eat burritos for a living.  

It took me awhile to notice the onions, but yeah ... they're in there. Along with a generous helping of cilantro. Herbal (perhaps too herbal). Meaty. A little dry for machaca, with the occasional crispy beef bit. Tortillas were good and floury, but nobody could tell me where they're from. Overall, a pretty standard burrito for when you're in a pinch.    

Hours of breakfast burrito availability: 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day
