- Here because: You're a first-rate foodie who biked over here from the adobe bungalow you share with your turtle.
It's embarrassing to admit I'd never been to this place (especially after I made such a show eating 100 tacos). So it's time to own up: I screwed up big time by not including this swampy neighborhood store in every food list for the end of time. Anita Street's chorizo and egg is the pinnacle of burrito perfection, with just three ingredients and a clever wrapping technique that weaves chewy ribbons of fresh tortilla into the center of the burrito. You have to eat fast before it gets destroyed by the mister, but that's part of the fun. Sorry to sound like a gushing young fangirl, but this baby burrito is what we all stand for as Tucsonans ...
Hours of breakfast burrito availability: 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, closed Sundays
