We Finally Know Who Has The Best Fast Food Breakfast Burrito

The modern breakfast burrito is said to have been invented in 1975 in New Mexico, but it really started spiking in popularity when McDonald's put it on the menu.
The popularity of breakfast burritos grew over the following decades, and it’s hard to find a fast food chain that doesn’t sell the popular item today. Breakfast burritos may not pack the punch and variety of a regular burrito, but there’s something about one in the morning that just feels right.
Which fast food restaurant can claim to have the best breakfast burrito? Watch this video to find out the king of fast food breakfast burritos.

Seriously? McDonalds FROZEN burrito was ranked 9/12, and jack in the box was last? These people invalidated their whole damn channel.

[@flyingsodwai1382]

Agreed! They are obivously bought. OR got the recent world disease and can't taste anymore.

[@thedayinthelifemiller8159]

In the McDonalds burritos are so damn small you need like 7 of them

[@bigboylikesalsa]

The disrespect on Jack in the Box’s name. Their breakfast burrito is the best I’ve had from a fast food chain. GTFO MASHED!

[@feiyangjin5455]

Totally agree. Jack in the Box's really has good breakfast burrito

[@phillyphil3860]

It's decent. Not as good as Taco bell breakfast

Nobody’s talking about the fact that in a different video, the sausage burrito was the worst item on McDonald’s breakfast menu. Make up your mind already Mashed. smh

Mashed is all about making content asap, there is no consistency tbh.

They do that often. That's why I don't take anything they say seriously. Lol.

The whataburger chorizo taquito is so good. I ate them before high school and let's just say gym class was a toooooooot!

As a McDonald's employee myself, I feel you placed the McDonald's burritos too high as it's literally just microwaved.

[@Doug7900]

I agree. If within a half mile of. McDonalds & Taco Bell, I’ll go with Taco Bell!

Can’t believe McDonald’s was higher then the kings eggnormous.

The meaty breakfast burrito from Jack is delicious...

[@FigWidIt]

The jack in the box Breakfast burritos are a god send after a night out drinking lol

[@thisonetime410]

I worked at Dell taco. The eggs are supposed to be cooked with butter but some cooks use oil which makes it taste nasty. I prefer the green sauce to the red. You can spruce up your burrito with anything you want: sour cream, onions, beans, etc.

[@Kajemyster]

But I LOVE Jack in the box's breakfast burritos! !!! I love the double sausage egg sandwich too!!!!!

[@barrymccarty4222]

Though I haven't been to many of the other places mentioned, I have to say that for the money I would like to say that Filiberto's would give a good many of others a run for their money. I love their "bacon, egg, and cheese" breakfast burritos along with the homemade salsas. The only thing is that they don't have coffee to drink.

[@wilf5400]

Had a meat lovers burrito this morning ... with salsa ... loved it

[@robertgram1270]

Whoever made this list, fire them. Jack in the box dead last and McDonald's near the top? Does this person eat packing peanuts as a snack? Maybe you got a bad location, but Jack in the box's breakfast burritos are what I imagine a chipotle breakfast burrito would be like. Where as McDonald's, putting American cheese on anything even remotely close to Mexican food is a culinary sin.

[@bethanyward7189]

culinary sins to me are peanut butter jelly sandwich at bk but those don't exist

[@chriswhitegang]

i used to luv the sausage burrito from mcd’s but an employee told me “bro don’t eat that.” didn’t ask anything else jus said okay ! haven’t had one since

[@yellotang]

I could not agree more. Glad you said it first.

No mention of Dairy Queen they have a breakfast burrito too. Sausage, ham or bacon

Carl's Jr.'s Country Breakfast Burrito. I could eat them breakfast , lunch and dinner, and several at that! In combination with their breakfast burger, my dream-come-true!! I'm sure it'll all send me to the emergency room with an extended hospital stay, but it would be soooo good how I got there. Lol

[@josemotilla9299]

Nope whoever made this clearly doesn't know flavor or have any taste. Mcdonlads makes the worst breakfast burrito wtf.

[@masterakaron]

Yes, yes they do! I wish McDonalds would bring back their McSkillet Burrito - it was far superior to the shitty basic ones they've kept for far too long...

[@randomprickyt904]

I disagree with this statement

[@jeffdeboer1679]

I knew Sonic would be number one, although I usually go for the ultimate meat & cheese instead of the Super Sonic.

I love breakfast burritos. It's like all of my favorite foods are wrapped in a hug.🌯🌯🌯🥚🍅🥓🧀

[@ericlondon2663]

Best breakfast burrito in the United States - if not the world - is a food truck outside the Washington DC train station. You cannot miss it. Everyone is eating a burrito on one side....and there is a LINE to the food truck.

I tryed the Carl Jr big country breakfast burrito it was right on point and mashed you weren't lying very awesome work keep up the great work on the truth!!!

I may have to rethink stopping by Sonic for breakfast. I've always LOVED the Big Country @ CJ's, & it has been my go to place for breakfast.

[@iTzBigbink]

This list almost feels backwards

[@Remix26]

Blake’s Lotaburger has the best breakfast burritos hands down. Game over.

[@jhh-jiynks6568]

Best integral video. Love ya guys

[@ositox5659]

Lol having worked at McDonalds in the past it's funny that it's Sausage Burrito ranked so high. They have plastic containers full of the frozen sausage, egg, peppers and onions mix, they put a piece of cheese on the tortilla, a scoop of the mix, roll it up and then toss it in the microwave, done. My favorite was the McSkillet, oh how I miss them and the steak and ehh bagels. It is tasty though.

[@masterakaron]

The McSkillet Burrito was TOP SHELF when it came to breakfast burritos! Sure, it was a bit spendy, but it was huge! Packed with serious flavor too... Hasn't been around since 2011ish, and I've been praying ever since that it'll came back one day! McDonald's regular breakfast burrito is microwaved, hot-garbage... and not the same delicious sausage that is in their McMuffins.

[@bubba4131]

Look, the first and biggest issue is, YOU"RE LOOKING FOR A BURRITO AT A FAST FOOD PLACE, what are you expecting?????

[@jimschauer37]

Now I seriously question your taste if you slam the meat lover burrito! And del taco's chorizo tastes like shredded cardboard. I'm afraid your site has gone on my no bueno list...

[@scique]

Isn't carl's junior the same as hardee's? Lol

[@Ahglock]

Yes, but apparently they have slight menu variations and the big country is only available at Carls Jr. It is a good burrito especially if you ask for extra gravy, you probably take a year off your life by doing so but its tasty.

[@opalskyartwork]

Are you kidding... sonic tops the list?? I used to work there and it's nothing to write home about.

[@keithe2150]

I am a road warrior-if you stay at a courtyard go down to the bistro and get yourself a breakfast burrito it’s excellent and you may not have to eat lunch

We’re on the same page with the top 4 (I just had them in a different order). I will say, McDonald’s used to have a huge McSkillet burrito that blew the normal ones out of the water. I miss it. Was around circa 2007ish.

[@L3uX]

My friend showed me the taco bell burrito, which I had no idea about, it’s actually really really good.

[@Stimpy77]

Tried the the breakfast burrito at Filiberto's? While I do often take one bite and put the bite side down into a glass for 3-4 minutes to let it drain lest it drip salsa/ham water everywhere, it's the best combination of tasty and filling I've found yet.

Yeah im in San Angelo got a couple here, I like julio's

[@yurbeeinwatched]

Yes. Yes, yes. The breakfast burrito conundrum. The standard of all burritos. The sketchy looking place down the road does the best. They have their own chickens and the tortillas are hand rolled. It's a meal for 5 bucks. It's the potatoes that will keep you coming back. They ain't open much anymore. Older folks, 70's I guess. God bless America.

[@markiangooley]

McDonalds used to be on sale for $1 or less fairly often. The American cheese and the style of sausage are very American but the result isn’t bad if you don’t mind that. Hot salsa of a sort is or was available (I haven’t tried getting any since the pandemic hit).

[@brettshears]

The video sponsored by Sonic

[@blowba]

It's not a breakfast burrito exactly, but check out the Taco Bell crunchwrap. I like the bacon and switch out the creamy jalapeno sauce for nacho cheese, AMAZING!!!!!!!

[@m3vt2seffn]

Yeah these burritos are all right but where I live Lancaster California there is a place it's called primo's hamburgers they serve the best breakfast burrito let me tell you this burrito weighs about 2 lb they stuff it with everything and I even saying the kitchen sink too you eat this burrito you won't be hungry until dinner time

[@robertcameronjones]

McDonald's breakfast burrito is really good - and easy to make at home.

[@Nofxthepirate]

Meat lovers is the lesser of the Jack in the box burritos, but it's still far better than anywhere else. The grande sausage burrito is the king though. I can't disagree that they are greasy monstrosities but that's actually what makes them good!

[@tiffanicy]

WHATABURGER ROCKS ALL THIER MENU ITEMS!!

[@necrogenesis1981]

McDonald’s is WAY too high on the list, 2 bites and you’re done plus it’s mostly tortilla. A lot of these shouldn’t count because they’re not nationwide. Also what’s the point of listing Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr.? They’re exactly the same. I’m pretty sure Del Taco and Taco Bell are the same too.

The BEST breakfast burritos are found at Filibertos ...they're chorizo burrito doesn't come with cheese and surprisingly... you will be GLAD of that because that will allow you to enjoy the taste of the chorizo that mixes in so well with the eggs... they're NOT CHEAP but wow...that flavor will make you glad you came and look forward to going back to get another... Filibertos are in California and Arizona...that's where I've seen and eaten their tasty food.

Carl’s Jr. had a chorizo burrito for just a short time that was way better than Whataburger even though the chorizo to egg mix was a little heavy on the chorizo. I would get one each of their loaded burrito and chorizo burrito dump everything in a bowl and mix it for two perfect burritos. Their big country is amazing if you tell them easy on the gravy. Otherwise the gravy overpowers everything and makes for a big mushy burrito mess.
