PHX Burrito House is that neighborhood restaurant that you can visit if you’re craving burrito for breakfast, specifically their crowd-favorite chorizo breakfast burrito. As you walk in half-asleep, the smell of chorizo and eggs will definitely wake you up.

Here, they have clearly labeled vegetarian dishes so our plant-lover friends can easily see what’s available for them. They also have other Mexican dishes available such as tacos and quesadilla.

Also, if the owner’s around, he’ll probably stop by to chat, and it somehow makes the Mexican dishes taste so much better.

Pro Tip:

Consider having a horchata drink on the side so you can handle a spicy burrito here at PHX Burrito House.

2. The Beach House

Operating Hours: Tuesday – Saturday: 7:30 AM – 3:00 PM; Sunday: 7:30 AM – 3:00 PM

The Beach House is that food truck you spot and immediately you know you’re about to eat something tasty. You know you’re near their shop as soon as you feel a surf-shack vibe on the curbside (complete with their chill playlist too).

When you’re here, don’t forget to try their crispy fish tacos. Their fish bowls are also great, you’d probably plan your next visit after just having three bites.

If there’s a long line during your visit, don’t get discouraged easily. Their staff move pretty fast, and their carne asada burrito is really worth the wait.

Pro Tip:

The Beach House is also known for its slushies, so make sure to pair your burrito with this drink. The two top-favorite flavors you can get are the cherry and raspberry.

3. Taco Boys

Contact Details: +1 602-675-3962

Operating Hours: Sunday – Thursday: 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM; Friday – Saturday: 10:00 AM – 1:00 AM

Pricing: $$

We always head to Taco Boys whenever we want a burrito fast. We usually get our orders in under ten minutes, so your ‘hanger’ really won’t kick in while you’re here.

What we love is their use of mesquite charcoal that gives the meats a distinct char and flavor that’s different from many taco spots. And let’s not forget that the family-heritage and Sonoran roots add authenticity. 

Just a heads up though, their red sauce is no joke, so maybe skip on that if you’re not really good with too spicy food. Luckily, they have several fresh condiments you can try with your burrito.

Pro Tip:

Consider arriving at Taco Boys before 4 in the afternoon as lines get pretty long beyond that time.

4. Tacos Huicho

Contact Details: +1 480-398-6766

Operating Hours: Sunday – Thursday: 8:00 AM – 11:00 PM; Friday – Saturday: 8:00 AM – 12:00 AM

Pricing: $$

This restaurant may be another reminder that street tacos will always win, but the burritos here equally deserve a spotlight. And if you’re down for a true central Mexico flavor, then you just found the right place.

On our first visit, we made sure to try their cecina. It is tender, salty, and really has that authentic Mexican taste. 

Their al pastor burrito is also a game-changer too. If you love having savory pork and sweet pineapple chunks, then make sure to get this one too.

Pro Tip:

If you’re paying your bill using a credit card, be ready to pay an additional $1.50 fee. We recommend bringing cash instead, and just use that budget for an extra taco on the side.

5. Rolbertos

Website: https://rolbertos.shop/ 

Address: 5032 N 7th St, Phoenix, AZ 85014

Contact Details: +1 602-274-2616

Operating Hours: Open 24 Hours

Pricing: $

Okay, attention here please: Rolbertos is that ride-or-die spot whenever we’re starving and need something fast. So if you’re on the verge of ‘hanger’, then it’s time to pull up to their drive-thru because in less than a minute, you’ll be out of their order window.

When you’re here, don’t miss out on their carne asada with shrimp burrito. We also get their pollo asado whenever we’re here, and we would always need a moment in the car just to appreciate every bite of it.

Pro Tip:

Parking here at Rolbertos is pretty limited, so we suggest sticking to their drive-thru if you’re craving their burrito.

6. Rito’s Mexican Food

Contact Details: +1 602-262-9842

Operating Hours: Monday: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM; Tuesday – Friday: 9:00 AM – 6:30 PM; Saturday: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Pricing: $

You can never go wrong with homemade dishes, and that makes Rito’s Mexican Food a hit around Phoenix. This spot has been a family-owned since 1977. 

If you want something authentic, don’t forget to try their homemade refried beans called bean burrito. But if you want a little spice to your usual burrito, don’t miss out on their green chili churrito. 

While this place isn’t ideal for big groups or parties, their al fresco area has several tables and chairs, perfect if you want to chill in the morning.

Pro Tip:

Rito’s can get packed during lunch hours. Visit before 11:30 AM or after 1:30 PM for shorter lines, especially at the 14th St. Phoenix location. 

7. El Norteño

Address: 1002 N 7th Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85007

Contact Details: +1 602-254-4629 

Operating Hours: Monday – Thursday: 7:30 AM – 9:00 PM; Friday – Saturday: 7:30 AM – 10:00 PM

Pricing: $

If you want something new every day, then El Norteño should be on your list too. Here, they’ve got weekly specials from breakfast until dinner, so you can look forward to eating your favorites on certain days.

Our most favorite dish whenever we’re here is the ground beef chimichanga. It’s also the reason why we always swing by on Mondays.

However, there aren’t many seats here, and their al fresco area also gets a bit noisy since the store is located in the intersection. We normally call the store to place our order, grab it and go, and just enjoy eating them at home.

Pro Tip:

El Norteño only accepts cash, so make sure you have your dollars ready before getting your burrito fix.

8. Gallo Blanco

Pricing: $$

For those who are looking for a modern burrito spot (it’s actually a famous spot among the Gen Zs), then Gallo Blanco may be the one you’re looking for. 

Our most favorite dish here is their barbacoa torta, a slow-braised beef wrapped in banana leaf and Mexican spices. Don’t forget to pair with their horchata or their margarita.

We love that they emphasize on local ingredients and supporting local farmers, creating a menu of health fare inspired by street food and brunch classics. 

Pro Tip:

Consider dropping by from 3 in the afternoon until 6 in the evening to take advantage of their happy hour. During this time, you can score $3 street tacos and $5 margaritas!

9. Ta Carbon Mexican Grill

Operating Hours: Monday – Thursday: 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM; Friday – Saturday: 10:00 AM – 11:00 PM; Sunday: 11:00 AM – 10:00 PM

Pricing: $$

What we love most about Ta Carbon Mexican Grill is their salsa bar. It’s fully stocked with tasty condiments that already come with your order. 

The best part is that they keep their self-serve condiments section spotless, so you feel extra confident whenever you load up on that extra lime or pico.

Meanwhile, for the vegetarians lovers out there, you’ll love that there are several options for you so you can definitely satisfy your burrito cravings. Don’t forget to try their bean and cheese burrito if you want a simple yet filling burrito choice.

Pro Tip:

Consider asking for an extra toasted tortilla so you can enjoy an extra crunch burrito here at Ta Carbon. Additionally, their burrito is extra filling, so you may want to ask for an extra warm tortilla on the side.

10. Regios Mexican Food

Pricing: $

For those bringing their kids on their next burrito food trip, here’s great news for you: Regios Mexican Food has a great menu for the little ones so no need for you to buy a special meal somewhere else.

While the kids’ area isn’t spacious, it still has enough toys to keep your children busy while you wait for your orders. They don’t serve fast, so trust us, this little play area is such a savior.

Whenever we’re here, we usually go for the chorizo and egg burrito. And when the weather’s a bit chilly, we love adding a Mexican hot chocolate on the side, which surprisingly pairs well with any burrito flavor we’re having.

Pro Tip:

Consider dropping by on weekends so you can score a bowl of menudo on the side. It’s a weekend-only special so make sure to grab this crowd-favorite.

If you’re near the airport and suddenly find yourself craving a burrito, then Testal Mexican Kitchen should be on top of your list.

Make sure to try their Colorado burrito, which has potatoes if you ever need something more heavy. They also serve cocktails here, but make sure to pace yourself if you’ve got a flight in a few hours.

You’ll love their cozy modern setup, complete with their fun Spanish electronic and indie playlist you hear in the background. Don’t worry, they’re not too loud so you can still keep up with your conversations.

Pro Tip:

One of the standout features at Testal is their homemade flour tortillas, which are made fresh throughout the day. Getting there early means you’ll get them at peak freshness and before the rush hits.
