I’m 15 weeks pregnant, and all I want is a SoCal-style breakfast burrito. No separated, layered dry ingredients. No bell pepper. I want chorizo (red, crumbly), potatoes, eggs and cheddar cheese all combined together in one glorious lump, where the chorizo grease turns the eggs and tortilla red. My craving is aggressive and it remains unsatisfied. I’m almost in tears because I can’t find one anywhere in NYC. I gave a place a chance yesterday and the chorizo was dry structured sausage, the layers separate, and there was bell pepper in it. I have been searching for one since I moved here 12 years ago.
My consolation is Tacombi because the ingredients are mushed together, but they open at 11 so that rules out weekday breakfast.
EDIT: I’m a SoCal native from Orange County, and I’ve had a lot of nostalgia cravings.
