Best Breakfast Burritos in VanPort
We have lists for best breakfast and we have lists for best Mexican. But we feel breakfast burritos need their own list. Some places have good offerings but aren’t open until 11am. These are spots have brilliant breakfast burritos and are open early.
1. Buenos Días
Vancouver – East
This is not your run of the mill Mexican joint. No chips and salsa. No margaritas. But you’ll find the cleanest, gourmet Mexican food in the area. They have a big emphasis on breakfast hence their name. It’s served all day. Their breakfast burritos are made with fresh, quality ingredients. They have great sauces for you to choose from. Two green, a red and a habanero. We like the red one the best. I was recommended a Jamaica drink that I really liked. It’s not like soda with corn syrup and and not like juice. It’s hard to describe. But it’s very pleasant. The chilaquiles con huevo Y carne is a delicious meal. I recently tried a wet burrito. It cames marinating in a lovely green sauce with sliced avocado on top. I like their burritos but this took it to a whole new level. The chilaquiles con huevo Y carne is a delicious meal. They also have fab biscuits and gravy.
2. Crave Grille
Vancouver – East
Crave serves breakfast starting at 7am. The Hangover has bit of everything. The bacon, ham and sausage are good. Eggs are eggs. The pancakes were huge and a meal itself. Their steak burrito is pretty good. EVERYTHING comes with potatoes.
3. Los Bros Taco Shop
Vancouver – East
Los Bros is fast food but better than Baja Fresh and Muchas Gracias. Los Bros wins on price and quality. The machaca breakfast burrito is very good. The sausage version is just ok. A huge win for me are their sauces. I’m a fan of the red. The green is for those that think ketchup is kind of spicy. It has zero heat. Another plus is that they’re open everyday at 6am…except Friday. You’d think Sunday, but hey! I’m happy to have a place open that early.
There’s plenty of parking.
4. Don Angel Taqueria
Vancouver – East
Excellent Mexican truck. They have terrific tacos and burritos. Their machaca breakfast burrito is one of the best I’ve had in the PNW. I’ve also tried the bacon breakfast burrito. I like the machaca much better. Decent amount of parking. PRO TIP: If you like spicy they have a red and creamy habanero sauces. Both are good but I think the habanero is more to my taste.
5. Victorico’s
Vancouver – multiple
Victorico’s is a solid Mexican fast food chain. The machaca breakfast burrito tastes excellent and is very large. I tried the green, red and habanero sauces. Normally I prefer a green sauce for breakfast burritos but Victorico’s green has a substantial vinegar flavor. The habanero is really good but hotter than I care for breakfast. The red was the winner. The art direction has a bit of flare and it’s definitely a step up from the generic, tacky orange at Muchos Gracias. They have a massive TV on one wall showing sports. Thankfully the volume was muted. The only possible downside is the price. Before tip it was $11.75. Los Bros breakfast burrito costs $9.89 and Don Angel is even less. Having said that, Victorico’s has a great location and a drive thru.
6. Muchas Gracias
Vancouver – Central
Not all Muchas Gracias are created equal. Some I won’t visit anymore but this location near 205 and Mill Plain serves good Mexican fast food. The menu is extensive. I like the adabado and chicken fajita burritos. They have three hot sauces. Green is mild, orange has some kick and the reddish brown is hot and flavorful. Recently they’ve added breakfast burritos that are very good. I should say they are very under seasoned. Apparently they are leaving that to each customer to add to their liking. I find myself adding more hot sauce than usual to compensate for the lack of salt and other seasoning.
7. La Osita PDX
Portland – East
The La Osita food cart is serving top shelf, elevated Mexican burritos and tacos. The carne asada burrito is very flavorful with quality ingredients. The truck is tucked away on a lot and it not easily seen, but it’s worth the effort to find this one.
8. King Burrito
Portland – NORTHWEST
King Burrito is a popular eatery. They had a line the whole time we were there. One unfortunate thing is their menu doesn’t have descriptions. As a result my burrito had sour cream, which I don’t care for. Nevertheless, it’s a very good burrito. I liked the hot sauces they have. The chips and salsa was more like chips and pico de gallo. If you’re in the area, this is a solid choice. No website.
9. Super Taco Express
Vancouver – North
Super Taco Express is a no frills but is one of the best places in town to get a burrito. They have a wide range of meats to choose from. I like the carnitas but you can’t go wrong with any of their proteins. Their habanero sauce is on point. They have a few tables but I will probably just do take out. No website.
