I think this burrito at Baja Cafe lost 21 grams after I cut it open.
- The Construction Burro with jalapeño bacon, bell peppers and tomatoes, $6.99
- Price per ounce: 40 cents
- Fork or hand burrito: fork
- Tortilla quality: B- (tortilla itself was fine, but crumbled and tore apart)
- Here because: Either you have a friend who's really into obscure Benedicts or the line was too long at Prep & Pastry.
I regret cutting this one in half, because there's a lot of stuff in here and the tortilla couldn't handle it. Like most of the food at Baja Cafe, the Construction Burro is a pure expression of maximalism. It's also a trap, if you're not careful choosing your own ingredients. (Ooh, sausage and nopalitos!) I held back, but still got loaded up with a slurry of hash browns, cheese, bell peppers, tomatoes and surprisingly mild jalapeño bacon. Next time, I'm going back to the Snickerdoodle!
Hours of breakfast burrito availability: 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day
