St. Mary's Mexican Food

1030 W. St. Mary’s Road

Is this the carne seca breakfast burrito at St. Mary's, or a scene from a David Lynch movie? 

  • Carne seca breakfast burro with potato, $4.80
  • Price per ounce: 27 cents 
  • Fork or hand burrito: hand
  • Tortilla quality: B (a little flaky, but good flavor)
  • Here because: This place is a hotspot for St. Mary's hospital employees and students at the nearby Pima West Campus. 

The way people rave about this place, I expected to transform into a beam of light that rips through the dimensional fabric into a glistening CGI utopia. Turns out, it's just a breakfast burrito with some jucier than average carne seca. They do get props though for the tiny skinless potato cubes, which get the point across without mucking up the meat show. Tortilla was a little flakier than expected, but otherwise good.
