On this episode of Taqueando with Bill Esparza, we’re diving into one of the most beloved — and misunderstood — foods in Mexican-American culture: the breakfast burrito. Bill explains why he believes the breakfast burrito has lost its soul, transforming from hearty construction-worker fare into influencer slop that bears little resemblance to its Mexican origins.
From the history of the burrito as a morning meal to the rise of LA’s brunch culture, Bill unpacks how we got here, what authenticity really means, and where you can still find real-deal breakfast burritos worth eating — in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Mexico.
A fiery episode for anyone passionate about Mexican food, culinary tradition, or just a great food debate.
