We all have favorite foods. Breakfast burritos happen to be one of mine. Here is a review of one of the many I’ve had.

One of the few nice things about the PANDEMIC is that I been eating out of less vending machines. Yes, I have been working from home for the past two years, so I have direct access to a “stove” which I can use to prepare “food” for “consumption”. Before this I have a few options for lunch at work:

1. Bring something from home and microwave in the office kitchen (note: if you do this with fish your coworkers will ritualistically execute you)
2. Order a gigantic meatloaf sandwich at a nearby restaurant and pass out at 2PM
3. Pray to Saint Joseph, the patron saint of office workers, that someone ordered pizza for a meeting and had leftovers
4. Get something horrible out of the vending machine

Usually I would forget 1, be too busy for 2, and my prayers would go unanswered for 3, so 4 would be my last option. That’s where my good friend DON MIGUEL would come in.

As you can see this breakfast burrito has friendly packaging that displays quite a bit useful information. “Whole Eggs”! “Three Cheeses”! “Hand Made”! As far as office vending machine meals go, this one is halfway appetizing. But how does it rate up?

Tortilla

This burrito comes out of a vending machine. Sometimes it’s completely frozen, other times it’s only halfway frozen. As a result the tortilla doesn’t really hold up. It kind of flakes apart as a result, perhaps the worst part of the Don Miguel Breakfast Burrito

Fillings

The burrito comes in two flavors: “Bacon” and “Sausage”, but there really isn’t much of a difference between the two. Overall I’d say sausage is the better of the two. The eggs remind me of the powered eggs I’d eat while camping as a kid, you know the kind you’d mix with water and they’d turn kind of green.

Overall

So the tortilla is bad, and the filling is also bad, but overall the burrito is quite good. Why is this? Well, it’s better than every other option in your work vending machine. Much better than the frozen cheeseburger, much better than eating two granola bars, and a whole lot better than the white bread ham sandwiches which I assume the vending machine company shop lift in mass from nearby Super America gas stations
