It looks huge, but the chile relleno breakfast burrito at Poco & Mom's is actually not packed very tightly and only weighs about 13 ounces without the sauce.
- Chile relleno breakfast burrito plate with both white and green sauce, $8.29
- Price per ounce: 72 cents (slightly misleading, because there are sides)
- Fork or hand burrito: fork
- Tortilla quality: A
- Here because: To get your protein boost before a jam-packed day, which in my case included typing a lot and dry shampooing my cat.
You're probably gonna feel like death after you eat this one, but at least you went peacefully. This breakfast beast drew me into its world of green chile sauce and silken white cream, imparting a euphoria that quickly turned into dread when I got back in the car. It's not that the chile relleno inside is that great. (It's just a rolled-up omelet and some overfried batter lobs that I broke off with my butter knife.) But the sauce on top, perfection! Poco & Mom's gets my award for best restaurant breakfast burrito in town.
Hours of breakfast burrito availability: 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays, closed Mondays
