Eggs, potatoes, cheese and salsa rolled tight in a flour tortilla, the default California morning. San Luis Obispo's versions fuel surf runs, lectures and Saturday queues alike.
The breakfast burrito spread north from Southern California's taquerias in the 1970s and became the Central Coast's portable morning meal, equally at home in delis, cafes and surf-town counters. In San Luis Obispo it is a genre of its own: Sally Loo's rolls a locally sourced version with its cult sally sauce by the railroad tracks, and Lincoln Market's Almost Famous Breakfast Burrito has fed the Broad Street corner since morning-deli hours began there.
