El Beto (Previously Los Betos)

32 N. Campbell Ave.

They were fresh out of low-carb fiesta shrimp taco bowls, so I settled for the breakfast burrito.  

  • Beto's breakfast burrito with ham, pico and "chesse", $6.99
  • Price per ounce: 44 cents 
  • Fork or hand burrito: hand
  • Tortilla quality: A- 
  • Here because: Line at Taco Shop is too damn long. 

I probably hit this place up about once a week, but never really go inside. After this trip I'm not sure I can recommend it to the masses (the place looks kinda like the waiting room at a car wash) but the cook was playing a badass soundtrack of '80s disco and cumbia from his iPhone. Seriously, can't get this song out of my head. Amazing. They also have a machine in there that's supposed to read your weight and give you a horoscope, but it wasn't really working. (I'm not 250 pounds I swear!) Oh yeah, the burrito. Um, pretty good! "Tasted like a Denver omelet," I wrote. "Fresh." 

Hours of breakfast burrito availability: 24 hours, seven days a week for the drive-thru and lobby
