Burbs Bites: Breakfast burrito heaven at Lito's in Richfield

State of play: Enter Lito's Burritos, the Richfield joint at 66th & Nicollet where L.A.-born, Minnesota-raised Miguel Hernandez slings what Eater called "the Twin Cities' most exciting breakfast burrito. Ever."

What to expect: Brekkie-Bs that'll take you back to California for between $6.49 and $7.99.

• Choose your main filling — bacon, pork sausage, chorizo, peppers, and onions, or vegan soy chorizo — and your choice of potatoes. I opted for hash-brown patties, but you can also pick regular julienned hash browns or home fries.
• Hungrier burrito fans might opt for the $12.99 "Breakfast Supreme," which comes with bacon, ham, sausage, peppers, and onions.
• Lito's serves lunch food, too — including their take on a California burrito, stuffed with fries.

What I ordered: I went with a simple B-E-C. Plenty of bacon, but the burrito oozes with flavor from the mozzarella-cheddar cheese blend.

💭 My thought bubble: The secret sauce… is the sauce. I went with two: a spicy chile de arbol salsa and a milder morrita crema.

Pro tip: Lito's operates out of El Tejabán Mexican Grill. Burrito seekers can place their orders at the bar at the rear of the restaurant.

• Lito's and El Tejabán have different operating hours. Lito's starts serving earlier but also closes at 2pm daily.
