Burritos To Go · Central Avenue, KCK
Kansas City Magazine put the burrito at this Central Avenue counter on its list of Latin bites for fifteen dollars or less, at $4.75. The magazine recommends the No. 2, ground beef and potatoes, or the No. 3, pork smothered in a red sauce. It is a to go operation on a busy Wyandotte County street, so the move is to order a couple of numbers at the window and eat them warm.
Tarahumaras Mexican Restaurant · Kansas City, KS
KCUR's roundup of Kansas City breakfast burritos names the huevos con chorizo at this Sixth Street location, where the burritos come with beans, cheese and a range of egg, meat and potato combinations. The family behind Tarahumaras came from Chihuahua, and Kansas City Magazine's KCK Taco Trail feature describes a menu running from street tacos to consomme soaked quesabirria. Get the huevos con chorizo burrito in the morning.
Hemma Hemma · Waldo
KCUR's breakfast burrito guide picks the Smothered Burrito at this Wornall Road cafe, where sweet potato and smoked cheddar go inside the tortilla, priced at $14. Kansas City Magazine, covering the second Hemma Hemma opening downtown, called the Waldo original grandma chic and listed a pastrami breakfast burrito among the new menu items. Order the Smothered Burrito at the Waldo counter, with masa pancakes for the table.
