Goddamn. What an experience. I wobbled down Bedford Avenue after getting blood drawn for COVID-19 testing, feeling lightheaded and quite hungry. I'd stopped by my favorite breakfast place for a breakfast taco, only to see the last one be snatched from my grasp by the person in front of me. Despairing, I walked down the street thinking my need for breakfast would not be fulfilled.
I was wrong.
I realized I would walk right by Border Burrito on the way back to my apartment, and as the signage appeared in my sight, I was filled with anticipation.
I stumbled in, ordered a chipotle breakfast burrito, and was told by the very friendly counter worker that it would be five minutes, and he'd call me when it was ready. I sat out front, thoughts of beans and eggs dancing through my head.
He emerged, christlike, clutching a paper bag which contained a burrito about the size and weight of a premature baby. I rushed home as fast as I could, and this was when my day truly began.
This thing is massive, dense, and well put together. I never felt it was in danger of falling apart, clearly constructed by a burrito expert. It was flavorful, rich, and filling. I'd prepared some salsa and hot sauce, but it wasn't needed. The eggs are cooked well, holding together but not dry or too runny, with perfectly seasoned beans and an amazing sauce. This thing was truly a blessing. I struggled to finish it, and that surprised even me. I can handle most burritos no problem, but this? This was a challenge, which I readily accepted. You could probably split a burrito between two people if you wanted to.
In the end, I was fulfilled, satisfied, and happy. This is one of the best damn breakfast burritos I've ever had, and it only cost about 8 bucks! Border Burrito is a savior for the hungry, the broke, and the bleary-eyed reveler leaving a bar on Bedford Ave. Stop by if you have a chance.
