Taqueria Santa Cruz Express 7/13/2016


On day one of my journey I find myself at Taqueria Santa Cruz Express with my roommates Sam and Zoe, and our friend Ryan. Taqueria is a frequent place for us to eat out at as roommates as it has some great breakfast burritos (the best? Who knows, stick around and find out). Since we are all so similar with Taqueria, it seemed like a fitting place to start the journey. After a run and hot shower, roommate Zoe took the initiative and called in our order ahead of time so we didn’t have to spend time at the restaurant (we’re introverts). God bless Zoe. Taqueria has three different variations of breakfast burritos: ham, bacon, and chorizo. Sam and I ordered the chorizo, Zoe ordered the bacon, and Ryan ordered the ham. Roommate Sam drove the four of us to Taqueria as I played his Pokemon go in the passenger seat, the new shotgun responsibility. Upon arrival we not only encountered a Rattata but also a warm familiar aroma of Mexican food that only Taqueria could provide. Some say that Taqueria is the best Mexican restaurant in San Luis Obispo, but that is for a different sole to blog about, I am only concerned about their breakfast burritos. After tax priced at $7.56 Taquria breakfast burritos also come with complimentary chips and salsa, a wonderful compliment to the burrito. The establishment is on the small side, which can cause cramping issues during high demand hours, but Taqueria also has outdoor seating which is very nice during the perpetually warm San Luis Obispo weather. After we got our burritos Sam drove us home so we could eat our burritos in the comfort of our house while watching Arrested Development. As each of us took our first bites we were reminded of the warm familiar tastes of Taqueria burritos. These burritos are unique in the sense they have a Mexican spin to them, filled with refried beans, rice, cheese, your choice of meat, and yummy goodness it always brings a smile to my face and fills me up. During my preliminary research at Taqueria I was never able to finish one of their breakfast burritos but I am happy to say today that I have grown as a connoisseur and I finished it all. On average we vote Taqueria as a 4.5/5 for taste, a 4/5 for atmosphere, and a 4.5/5 for price. Stay  tuned for the next breakfast burrito, until then, eat on, my fans.

Lots of Love,

My Story

My name is Jonathon Edward Babila and until today I have been lost. Not much to say about myself. Just an all-American boy; raised in the dark streets that only Metro Detroit Michigan has to offer. For the eighteen years that I lived there I just roamed the streets, lost, without a purpose. I knew that this is no life, I knew that I needed to get out, so I left everything and everyone I knew from the streets to find a purpose. After days of traveling I found myself in San Luis Obispo, a beautiful city and community nestled into the central coast of California. The city seemed all too good to be true; it had it all, from over twenty Pokemon gyms to some dank breakfast burritos. However, the city was missing one key piece, so key that I fear that this city will crumble upon itself. After two minutes of investigation I discovered that this city has absolutely no organization of said dank breakfast burritos. This is when I had an epiphany, I have found my calling. I knew that I was sent to California to be the best breakfast burrito blogger of all of San Luis Obispo (San Luis Obispo city, not county). I have been in San Luis Obispo for exactly three years now. These past three years have not been easy; they have been filled with preliminary research where I investigated breakfast burritos based off their taste, atmosphere, and price. These days of research have been filled with tears, laughter, and some bloodshed, but all in the name of breakfast burrito lovers everywhere. This is only the beginning though, my story starts today, on my three year anniversary of being in San Luis Obispo. So come follow my friends and I as we go on a one year journey to discover the best breakfast burrito in San Luis Obispo.
