Do you lean bacon or chorizo on your breakfast taco? Corn or flour tortilla? Red salsa, or green? This guide will help answer at least one question- where to find them.
LessPueblo Viejo is a food-truck-to brick-and-mortar success story that I’m proud to support. The Don Chago is a breakfast taco sans eggs, which raises the question: Is it technically a breakfast taco at all? Try one and decide for yourself that the answer is “yes.”
There’s nothing flashy about this cash only spot on South 1st, but the family owned trailer has been slinging tacos since 2004, which means there’s over 15 years of seasoning on that griddle. You can’t replicate that. Owner Jose Luis Perez also makes his own chroizo, so be sure to include it in your order.
This is my hangover go-to; a gluttonous plate with two eggs any style, served with pork carne guisada, potatoes, beans, two tortillas, and your choice of sausage or (deep fried) bacon. Word to the wise: Two tortillas are never enough, so be sure to ask for more to take home.
The #0 is a massive, four-ingredient breakfast taco filled with bacon, egg, potatoes, and cheese. Their vegetarian migas taco (#8) is also huge... one taco is definitely all you need here, but I always order two.
Some tacos aren’t worth the hype. This one is. I usually add avocado, and unlike other breakfast tacos where I opt for a flour tortilla, with migas, you just have to go corn.
We just had to put one gringo taco spot on the list. If you’re looking for an “authentic” taco experience, you won’t find it out here in Westlake, but you will find something delicious. This is the one place where it’s okay to put ham on a taco—and the baked potato hash is a must-order as well.
Marcelino’s has long been one of my favorite spots in town. The tacos are served cafeteria-style, and always with a smile. Sticking with your go-to breakfast taco preferences is the way to do it here, but I highly recommend including potatoes—they’re shaped like french fries and are available regular or spicy. Always go spicy.
This taco won our “Breakfast Taco Taste-off” competition a few years back and it’s still one of my favorite tacos in town. It’s loaded with bacon, eggs, potatoes, cheese, and more bacon.
Nixta offers off-menu breakfast tacos based on the fresh ingredients they’ve got on-hand. Their migas taco is a secret menu item that’s usually available for regulars, and anyone else who is friendly enough to ask for one.
