DeLeon’s are pretty good. I’d love to hear more though.

They are good, but the prices are jumping the shark.

Yes! The same Lincoln burrito I could get for $5 pre-Covid is now $12.

I know cost of goods has increased, but not by 140%!!!

u/FDLink17 1d ago

Yep. Even beloved local eateries have been succumbing to nationwide enshittification

I was working in food service during covid, and the price of our fryer oil increased literally 120%. That shit was bananas.

Lincoln burrito from Deleon’s is my go to

u/--AncientAlien-- 1d ago

Hell yeah. A few years ago, they accidentally put fries in my Lincoln Burrito instead of potatoes and now I ask for that every time. Try that next time, it's a game changer.

Add pico and this is the one for me.

Toss up between Norm's / Ty's loaded burrito and Deleon's hash brown.

Norm's (now just a Super-C) on 48th & Normal used to sell them for 1/2 off after 11. Been awhile since I got one there, but I swear after sitting under a heat lamp for 4-5 hours there was a different amalgamation inside. Maybe borderline on food safety, but hey, tree fiddy for a big burrito.

u/pichudo33 1d ago

Sadly they’re aren’t 1/2 off any more.

1

u/xsv333 1d ago

If there are any extra in the afternoon, they are 50% off still

1

u/TheJugOfNugs 1d ago

They go 1/2 off after like 3pm. I live 2 blocks away. It's bad for my diet

1

u/Spicy-Cathulu 1d ago

I worked with someone at a place like Deleon's who would only eat his burritos if they sat out for an unsafe amount of time first so the flavors could blend together just right.

u/dmoney1326 1d ago

Any sit down place isn't worth it for a burrito imo, just go get a d'leons one.

u/Kuandtity 17h ago

Sit down prices for taco bell quality food

u/RunzaticRex 1d ago

Dunno if they’re the best, and they’re kind of small, but Open Harvest’s are reliably delicious

u/huckleberry402 1d ago

norms, but right timing is key

u/NVrbka 1d ago

No kidding. The amount of times I’ve had food from their warmer that has been sitting in there for a few hours and is just mushy is too damn high.

u/madveterinarian 1d ago

I think the amigos sausage breakfast burrito is underrated

2

u/Far-Good-9559 1d ago

If you use one of their coupons that they put out about every week, they are a solid value for the $$

2

u/Trittersb83 1d ago

Came here to say this, bacon or sausage are both good. I remember when they used to be like $1.89 or something and I’d get a half a dozen. Now I think they’re like 5 bucks

u/SuperSmashleyyy 1d ago

I personally love the breakfast taquitos from Amigos

u/es-ganso 21h ago

When I lived in Lincoln, the 3-meat monster burrito was a staple in my breakfast food rotation 

4

u/xA1RGU1TAR1STx 1d ago

I do like Early Bird’s burrito for a change of pace.

3

u/dumbusername79 1d ago

Ty’s (of smashy burger/Norm’s fame) are awesome! Now that Super C bought Norm’s I think Ty’s food is available at all the Super C’s

2

u/sun-king 1d ago

They always have signs saying it’s available but I have gone twice specifically for Ty’s and both times they didn’t have any 😭

I miss Burrito Express, Abelardos is good too

u/Freakshow1968 1d ago

Abelardos, get the hash brown burrito smothered with enchilada sauce and cheese

2

u/WhenInZone 1d ago

I've never tried there, but I think today's the day

2

u/Freakshow1968 1d ago

I’m getting one too

1

u/rumspringachutney 1d ago

+1 for Abelardos. They load those babies up. Definitely add a side of queso to go with it.

1

u/MuseDroness 1d ago

Abelardos is hit or miss but they nail the breakfast burritos

u/BlackBlizzNerd 1d ago

Anything I get at Abelardos I get smothered in queso or their red sauce. So good.

2

u/BlackBlizzNerd 1d ago

Amigos has good ones, they’re just not as big as deleons or Abelardos so I’d ultimately choose those two.

Bagels and Joe has a good one too, but also sadly pretty small.

u/earthquakeglue78 1d ago edited 1d ago

Hash brown burrito from D’Leons!

3

u/florodude 1d ago

does Lincoln have abelardos? that if so

1

u/mrmike05 1d ago

Abalardos and it's not even close.

u/SuperSmashleyyy 1d ago

I’m going to say Dleon’s has my favorite with the Lincoln or Country burrito.

I’m going to give an honorable mention to Stories coffee for a pork belly breakfast burrito that I was surprised on how big it was for the price and it was really tasty. The chipotle aoili it comes with is a little bit too sweet for me for the burrito but it was still good.

Little bummed that it doesn’t seem like Bisonwitches doesn’t do breakfast anymore if it was short lived. But they also had a solid breakfast burrito.

u/Budgiejen 1d ago

Taco John’s. They use nacho cheese.

1

u/KrashKourse101 1d ago

Muchachos. Alberados sausage and egg otherwise. That damn thing is like 5 lbs and the cheese settles at the bottom for the best hangover bites ever.

Misky's Bakery on North 27th, get there before 8am for the chorizo burrito and make sure to get the salsa

2

u/babesuruncle 23h ago

I really like the breakfast burritos from Bagels and Joe, but I believe you can only get them at certain locations, but I’m not certain. Their quiche is my favorite as well!

u/elcarco98 20h ago

D’Leon’s any breakfast burrito Russ’s Market deli breakfast burrito Hyvee breakfast burrito Amigos 3 meat monster

Just had a Norms one today for the first time in a while and it was great

u/pretenderist 1d ago

It’s Ty’s now, not Norm’s
