The breakfast burrito is a serious matter in Oklahoma City. You know it, I know it, and the proof is waiting in foil across the metro.

From the late-night creative energy at Guyutes to the dependable, homemade tortillas at El Jaliscience, the range is dramatic. We even tried a birria-style version at Birriería Utzil that redefines the genre.

This hunt took us everywhere, from the lunch line at nebu to a full meal for two at El Jaliscience for under thirty bucks. We found a spot that gets it right every single time, and another where the house-made horchata is the perfect burrito companion.

Consider this your map.
