In the case of Katrinah&#8217;s, it&#8217;s a very active and powerful voice that drowned out the behemoth burrito-making bullies on the block in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. It&#8217;s a voice that garnered more support than breakfast burrito assembling megaliths such as <a title=\"Blake's Lotaburger\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/?p=219\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lotaburger<\/a>, <a title=\"Twisters Burgers &amp; Burritos\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/?p=416\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twisters<\/a> and <a title=\"The Flying Star\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/?p=275\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Flying Star<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">Quite unlike many other election results in New Mexico which generally end up with voter dissatisfaction or antipathy, the result of the Breakfast Burrito Byway voting was viewed by many with curiosity and a sense of adventure. How far away is Edgewood? How do we get there? New Mexicans may not always be willing to drive ten blocks to cast a vote, but we&#8217;ll drive tremendous distances for a great breakfast burrito just as we would for a <a title=\"New Mexico Green Chile Cheeseburger Trail\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/?p=10532\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">great green chile cheeseburger<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 488px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 488px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 488\/327;border: 4px solid black; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Katrinah03.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"488\" height=\"327\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Katrinah03.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 488w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Katrinah03.jpg?size=128x86&amp;lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 128w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Katrinah03.jpg?size=256x172&amp;lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 256w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Katrinah03.jpg?size=384x257&amp;lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 384w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 488px) 100vw, 488px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fried Green Beans With Green Chile Ranch Dressing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">Since it was announced that Katrinah&#8217;s breakfast burrito reigns supreme in the Land of Enchantment, visits to the small strip-mall eatery have increased significantly. Initially Katrinah&#8217;s was &#8220;slammed&#8221; with out-of-town and even out-of-state diners and while the hullabaloo has slowed just a bit, first-timers area an almost daily occurrence. Shame on New Mexicans who believe they&#8217;re in Texas the second they cross the Sandias going east; they can get to Katrinah&#8217;s in under half an hour from the Big I. It&#8217;s well worth the drive!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">Even if you weren&#8217;t visiting Katrinah&#8217;s for the breakfast burrito, the menu has a number of intriguing offerings which will warrant return visits. The &#8220;Thunder Burger&#8221; (triple battered deep fried 1\/2 lb burger with green chile and Cheddar), for example, sounds too good not to return, arteries be damned. The <em>fried green beans<\/em> with your choice of housemade dressing are worth a return trip on their own, especially if you opt for the green chile ranch dressing. These fried green beans will make a convert out of anyone who thinks they don&#8217;t like green beans. They&#8217;re lightly battered, crispy and have the snap of freshness when you bite into them.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 487px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 487px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 487\/326;border: 4px solid black; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Katrinah04.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"487\" height=\"326\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Katrinah04.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 487w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Katrinah04-300x201.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Katrinah04.jpg?size=128x86&amp;lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 128w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Katrinah04.jpg?size=384x257&amp;lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 384w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 487px) 100vw, 487px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katrinah&#8217;s famous breakfast burrito with green chile, green chile sausage and pinto beans<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">The <em>breakfast burrito<\/em> is a beauteous behemoth, bulging at its seams with fluffy eggs and cubed potatoes then topped with shredded yellow and white Cheddar cheeses and your choice of red or green chile (or even Texas &#8220;chili&#8221; if you&#8217;re so inclined). Cumin is used in the preparation of both the red chile and the Texas chili. The green chile is delicious and since you can&#8217;t have enough of a good thing, ask for your burrito to include the housemade green chile sausage, too. The burrito is served with pinto beans, the other official New Mexico state vegetable. This is an excellent breakfast burrito, large enough for two to share, but so good you won&#8217;t want to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">Breakfast is served until 2PM. The rest of the menu is available all day long. If you have vegetarian, gluten-free or other dietary concerns, your server will be happy to give you suggestions. A fully-stocked coffee bar features Starbucks coffee or espresso. Desserts include fountain-style shakes and malts, baked goods and ice cream treats. The <em>cinnamon rolls<\/em> are so generously iced that it surprised me when my convivial server offered to slather it with melted butter. That would have been a bit too rich and cloying for my tastes.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 485px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 485px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 485\/367;border: 4px solid black; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Katrinah05.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"485\" height=\"367\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Katrinah05.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 485w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Katrinah05.jpg?size=128x97&amp;lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 128w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Katrinah05.jpg?size=256x194&amp;lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 256w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Katrinah05.jpg?size=384x291&amp;lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 384w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 485px) 100vw, 485px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cinnamon Roll<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">What&#8217;s surprising about Katrinah&#8217;s East Mountain Grill is not that it garnered more votes than any other purveyor of excellent breakfast burritos in New Mexico.
