If you are searching for the best breakfast burrito in Lubbock that is affordable, filling, and wrapped in a tasty tortilla, we’ve got great options for you. When locals were asked where to find the best breakfast burrito for a good price on LBK Foodies, the responses poured in. Here are the places mentioned most often.
Burrito King
Burrito King was by far the most recommended spot. Multiple locals praised the homemade tortillas and prices under five dollars for classic options like chorizo and egg or potato and egg. Several commenters said it is the best value in town. If fresh tortillas are your priority, this is one of the top choices.
United/ Market Street/ Amigos
A great deal on great big burritos. The cheesy hashbrowns can really elevate your burrito.
Jimenez Y Friends
If you are looking for food lauded repeatedly by Texas Monthly, you want Jimenez y Friends. The food is divine, and make sure you get queso, too.

Nora’s, Rachael’s and Cuevas
Nora’s, Rachael’s Restaurant & Tortilla Factory, and Cuevas were repeatedly mentioned. Locals who prefer a homemade taste often point toward these neighborhood favorites.
Polly’s Place and Lillie’s Place
Polly’s Place at 1815 Avenue B and Lillie’s Place also received strong support. These longtime local spots are known for hearty breakfast burritos packed with bacon, sausage, egg, cheese, and potato combinations.
Raider Burrito and Tech Cafe
Raider Burrito next to Lubbock High was another popular pick. Tech Cafe was also mentioned as a dependable breakfast stop for students and early risers. I’m going to thrown in my personal recommendation of Red Zone here too, as it has a similar vibe as Tech Cafe.
Other Local Favorites
Several other restaurants made the list, including Taqueria Arandas, Polibertos Taco Shop (several locations in Lubbock- their burritos are ENORMOUS), Burrito Tower, El Ranchito Burrito, Mr. Burrito in nearby Wolfforth, Slaton Bakery, and Pronto Mart.
No matter where you live in Lubbock, the perfect breakfast burrito is a short drive away. Go ahead and have one, they are delicious, and life is short.
