Before I moved to New Mexico in 2013, I’m not sure if I ever had a burrito for breakfast. How did I make it 22 years without eating a breakfast burrito? Now it’s my go-to breakfast, especially when I can pull into the Golden Pride drive-thru and get my #9 fix.
We asked our team to share their favorite breakfast burritos in all of Albuquerque. Here’s what they had to say:
Vanessa: Blake’s #1 with green is LIFE. Yes and amen. I love the crispy bacon, spicy chile, real cracked eggs (not powder mix), and soft tortillas. Oh yeah, and my Blake’s has a drive-thru!
Jess: Okay, so somewhere that might not be well known, but super good, is Mick’s Chile Fix! They have huge burritos and their chile is amazing. Plus it’s family-owned and local!
Alyssa: Blake’s #2. I love the potatoes. It’s great hangover food with extra green chile . . . not that I’ve had a hangover or anything.
Katie: Our family has three favorites. Golden Pride–amazing tortillas! Blake’s–I get a #1 red, and hubby gets a #2 green. Hello Deli–the Burrito Pronto is consistently good.
Tiffany: Hands down, Burritos Alistante! Huge breakfast burritos with fresh ingredients and less than $5. They’ve got friendly service and are super fast! They also have a drive-thru.
Mandie: Golden Pride #9 easy green.
Colleen: Blake’s #1 all the way!
Brittany: I’m all for Golden Pride and Blake’s, but my pick (which takes me back to my high school self) is Little Anita’s breakfast burrito.
Laura: My husband says Blake’s is his favorite. I think my favorite is Frontier.
Audra: I love the #9 and #11 from Golden Pride. And my kids love the #3! But I’m pretty sure I could save money by just handing them a tortilla and they’d be happy.
Paige: If you are looking for comfort food, Stripes is your place! Plus, they donate 10% to the VA hospital and serve local coffee. They have five locations around town.
Denika: Vic’s Cafe for a sit down burrito, or Golden Pride for fast food.
Rachel: NM Beef Jerky! The Burrito Lady! Tia Betty Blues!
