The Best Breakfast Burritos in Toronto
As a devoted breakfast burrito enthusiast and the person behind @hungry.corey on Instagram, I’ve always envisioned Toronto as a city brimming with breakfast burrito options. While the city’s smashburger scene has exploded and some might say it’s over-saturated, and our breakfast sandwich scene is quite large, breakfast burritos are carving out their own niche. My culinary adventures in LA and Austin, Texas, left me in awe of their breakfast burrito and taco offerings, but Toronto holds its own with some standout spots. Masa Deli, a fresh face in the city, has impressed with their exceptional breakfast burritos and sandwiches, showcasing the evolution of Toronto’s breakfast landscape. While I still need to explore the offerings at Sneaky Dee’s and Huevos Gourmet, I’ve curated a list of my favorite breakfast burrito spots in Toronto. Each location brings its unique flair to the table, making them worthy of a visit. You can click on any place’s title to view their page here on Dining.ca, see their reviews, write your own review with pics or video if you want, and access their contact information and more. Below, you’ll find descriptions of these delicious destinations, accompanied by my photos capturing the essence of each bite.
Masa Deli
Located on Dovercourt Road, Masa Deli is not just about burritos; their sandwiches are equally impressive. While this post focuses on breakfast burritos, it’s worth noting that their Chorizo Breakfast Burrito, with cheesy scrambled eggs and homemade chicken chorizo, is a standout. Masa Deli is a testament to how new players can shake up Toronto’s breakfast scene with fresh and exciting flavours.
