The small town of Laramie Wyoming boasts many delicious and unique restaurants. All with different specialties and themes that provide tasty options for all taste buds. One common and reoccurring dish is a breakfast burrito and many restaurants say they have the best. The issue is that there are so many delicious establishments in the wonderful town of Laramie, so I am going to narrow it down to the top 5 places to get those tasty breakfast burritos. I am targeting people who do not eat out often, so they are unable to try all the restaurants; and college students who are looking for a tasty and satisfying meal. The criteria I am using rank breakfast burritos is personal opinions and quality of ingredients. Below is an interactive map to help guide you on a quest to the best breakfast burrito. You can click on any of the five pins to get a quick insight on the restaurant.
Coming in at #5 on my list of best breakfast burritos is Lovejoy’s in downtown Laramie. This restaurant isn’t know for breakfast but that burrito is pretty good. If you like mushrooms and onions in your burrito then this is the place for you. Although it does not include potatoes, which is why it is number 5, I would still recommend this tasty burrito.
A friend I interviewed about this burrito stated, ” It is good but what kind of breakfast burrito doesn’t have any potatoes. I’m not satisfied.” Aliza Maxwell.
Next on my list is the popular food chain Qdoba. Most people have had one of the massive burritos for lunch or dinner but not many has had their breakfast. The quality of the ingredients are below average but the price and their famous queso makes up for it without a doubt. The ability to build your own burrito and the variety of salsas make this place unique and provide a personalized burrito for all people. This is why qudoba comes in at #4 on my list and is probably the breakfast burrito I eat the most.
Coming in at #3 on my best breakfast burritos in Laramie is Prairie Rose. This place has quality ingredients and is a small café known for their breakfast burritos. Almost every customer goes their for just that. They are a little on the small side, which is unusual for breakfast burritos but the smothered green chili is pretty darn good.
My friend Mike Madujano had this to say, “the eggs and potatoes are kind of bland, but the green chili was great.”
The next restaurant on my list is 17th street café. This has been one of my favorites since I lived in the dorms. Sitting on the patio with a massive smothered burrito is one of my favorite things to do. The ingredients are seasoned well and the green chili is very tasty. They are known for breakfast and their burritos and I thoroughly enjoy them whenever I go. The only problem I have is the cheese is sometimes not melted. It was hard to not put this one as number one but I just couldn’t decide.
#1 on my list is called the Old Man Grill. This place is a very small restaurant located right across the street from 17th street café. This place uses fresh potatoes and slices them thick and cooks them til they have the perfect crunch. The bacon is also cut into thick pieces and every bite has every ingredient. The eggs and everything are seasoned perfectly and the green chili tastes home made. I think it is the best breakfast burrito in town and really is a satisfying meal.
My good friend Jordan Wheeler had one I brought her and she said, ” oh my gosh, this burrito is so good! why haven’t I had one before.”
All these restaurants are great places but this is mine and others personal opinions after eating at all these plus more in quest for the best breakfast burrito. I recommend trying them all but I believe old man grill would be the best choice.
