Unbelievable chorizo egg breakfast burrito, plus wonderful sauces--exactly what I needed to power my ride! Was lucky enough to stumble on these guys at the Palisades Farmers Market, couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. The three gentlemen running the market stand were super friendly--will definitely be coming back! read more

El Piquin - Chorizo & Egg Breakfast Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Best burritos in DC. I walk from Navy Yard to eat here on weekends, that's how good they are. Must have eaten here over 50 times. I don't do the breakfast ones because I'm just conceptually not a breakfast burrito guy. But the lunch burritos have nothing to envy any burrito in California, Arizona or New Mexico despite the protestations of some from SoCal or AZ who would never admit such a thing. The fresh squeezed lemonade is great too. The guys who run it are great. I order in Spanish. They're friendly. And they remember you. There's no protection from the elements eating there but that's the only downside. read more

We were in Eastern Market and decided to get some food. Since it was still morning, I decided to get a vegetarian breakfast burrito. The burrito was massive and was packed with veggies. They had some nice flavorful sauce as well. We shared a single burrito and it kept us satisfied. I've been here before and definitely plan on coming back more. read more

El Piquin - chorizo burrito - Mexican Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Okay so an AMAZING Mexican burrito joint was not what I was expecting to find after taking a stroll through the Eastern Market in DC. I've lived in Mexico City and grew up on the SW border so needless to say, I'm very critical about what others call "good burritos." Well, I can confirm...this are GREAT burritos! After speaking with the staff - from the Mexican State of Puebla - I went with their most popular, the #2, chorizo and egg breakfast burrito. They serve breakfast all day. It did not disappoint! Huge portion, homemade beans, good quality chorizo...I couldn't have asked for more; but I did! I accompanied it with two chiles torreados (grilled with soy/lime) and it was the perfect match for a great afternoon lunch/dinner. Don't hesitate to try, you won't be sorry. read more

Fabulous. These guys love what they do. A must try. Delicious and consistent. Breakfast burritos & fajita burritos are killer.

Excellent large breakfast burritos. We had the veggie and bacon breakfast burritos at the H street farmers market on Saturday morning. I particularly liked that there are black beans in with the eggs. read more

Great chorizo breakfast burrito in eastern market - as a west coast girl on the east coast, this is pretty close to what I can get at home. Check it out! read more

Best breakfast burritos in DC. Bacon, egg, beans, and green salsa! Accommodated large order with ease. Highly recommend!

Oh so so so good. Made right in front of you at the Eastern Market food booths and it hits like nothing else. I look forward to going every Saturday/Sunday to pick up a burrito. There's usually a line but it goes quickly, and it's well deserved. read more

Very likely the best breakfast burrito to be found in Washington, DC. Yelp tells me I have to write at least 85 words but really that's all there is to say. Chorizo is the way. read more

Burritos are always the bomb and sweet crepes are a must! Great service too!! I believe their prices are fair. Definitely recommend!

BEST BREAKFAST BURRITO EVER!! came to the arlington farmer's market on Saturday just to try this place. the photo does not do it justice. it's basically an omelette with your choice of meat folded in. then it's wrapped with cheese, beans, and salsa. i sat on the curb eating this burrito like a bum. had bean juices dripping down my hands and did not have napkins. -0.1 stars for not giving napkins. there was a long line and you have to order first, pick up your order, then pay. eager to come again with my girlfriend and get my hands wet read more

The best burrito-you need to eat one. I've tried the breakfast burrito and the fajita burrito. Both are great - but the sauce in the fajita burrito seals the deal. The guys running the stand are super friendly and the food comes pretty fast. If you're near Eastern Market, it's a must try! read more

Delicious! I would go again I just don't know when they there I wish I knew the hours or a contact number so I can call to find out.

My new Saturday routine is breakfast burrito from the Arlington Farmers Market. I go with the bacon burrito but even the crepes are delicious. A must have for anyone in the local area. read more

El Piquin has a booth at the Brookland farmers market on Saturdays. They make fresh to order lemonade and orange juice. I ordered an orange juice. After she was juicing the oranges, she topped off the juice with sugared water. I asked her if it is sugar water, and she said yes. I told her I don't want any added sugar in my fresh squeezed orange juice especially as I would like to give it to my 18 month old son. She then proceeded to say no it's just water. However, I watched her make another customer lemonade. After she squeezed the lemons, she used the same pitcher of sugared water to mix the fresh squeezed lemons. Thus, making the lemonade. I pointed that out to her but she continued to state it was just water. This added to my disappointment. I was very disappointed that she would lie to me about using sugared water and continue to lie. If that is their receipt, fine but it needs to be communicated. But don't lie to me about not using sugared water in my orange juice. Also, when expressing my concern and saying I'm not going to accept this, it would be nice to offer me an other option (as in refund or to make me an orange juice without added sugar). As a business in the food industry, you must be factual in what is added into your products. Especially with allergies and people's choice in diet. This really is not acceptable. read more

I have been eager to find a good authentic breakfast burrito in DC, having been from Arizona where the Mexican food is phenomenal, I have yet to find a place here that even compares. After reading the high reviews at el piquin, I was certain I had found that place in DC but that was not the case. I was very disappointed that it was a total let down. I am a chorizo breakfast burrito fanatic, so I obviously chose their top chorizo breakfast burrito and it was mediocre at best. It was also very small compared to some of the pictures I've seen in reviews but perhaps they were running low on ingredients. The chorizo was decent, it has an interesting spice to it but it wasn't spicy. It was too good to be true or maybe I came on an off day given the recipes but I guess my hunt for an authentic breakfast burrito in dc still continues! read more

Love the breakfast burritos here! Hangover cure for sure! They work fast and very reasonably priced for a big burrito. Friendly service!

Best burritos EVER. I go every weekend. And they're so nice and fun. Super worth it. Worth every penny.

This is one of the BEST food stands in Eastern Market. The portions are extremely generous and delicious. All the cooks are super friendly and it's a staple of my weekend. I believe they are at eastern market (near the William Rumsey Aquatic Center) on saturdays and sundays. You have to try them out! I tell all of my visiting friends that they need to add this to their itinerary when visiting. Our go to orders are the chicken fajita bowl and carne asada rice bowl. Ventured out this one time and got the quesadilla and was not disappointed! read more

El Piquin - Veggie breakfast burrito with chorizo - Mexican Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Nothing better on a Saturday morning than a breakfast burrito from El Piquin at eastern market. Melty, sumptuous, perfect amount of ingredients. Big and hearty, but not overstuffed. No wonder they have a line every time. read more

I am eternally grateful that this breakfast burrito/savory and sweet crepe stand makes the trek out to Courthouse plaza to make countless people happy with their delicious burritos and crepes. There is always a line, but it always goes quick because the guys behind the stand work FAST. For anywhere from $8-$10, you get a huge but satisfying portion and countless topping combinations - bacon, chorizo, eggs, cheese, and a nice smattering of veggies to round out your most important meal of the day. All you have to do is mention the number you want and they cook it right in front of your eyes! crepes are perfectly cooked, and although I've never tried their burritos I eye them enviously hand off giant burritos to other clientele. The boxes come steaming because that's how fresh they are. They've also got a great cooler full of delicious sauces you have to add to your container. They also get to know their regulars pretty well and I'm dying to become one of them! My suggestion is the #21 - it comes with pico, spinach, egg, chorizo, cheese, and salsa verde I think! Honestly, in the DMV it's really hard to find a good breakfast burrito place especially when I've been spoiled by west coast Mexican food, but this place can rival with the best of them. They also accept card and mobile payments in addition to cash! forgot to add - in the summers they do freshly squeezed orange juice. GET ONE. it is not an option. The perfect pairing to your amazing breakfast! read more

***The best breakfast burrito I've ever had! I am a frequent El Piquin customer and hope they stay open forever. I truly don't know what I would do without my Saturday morning chorizo burrito. Thank you to El Piquin for your excellent service and quality food. read more

Late to the party but the chicken fajita quesadilla was one of the best I have ever had!!! I will definitely be back.

Best breakfast chorizo & egg burrito in town!

Chefs were nice and funny and the food was amazing. Best burrito I've eaten in DC! I got the Al pastor.

I'm really surprised to see such a low review count for this place, but the steady business they seem to do on Sundays speaks for itself. El Piquin makes the best breakfast burritos in DC. I usually get bacon or chorizo, and it's truly a delight to watch the food be made to order. The hot sauces are incredible as well. Good food for a good price, what more can you ask for? read more

Everything was amazing at El Piquin. Clean and a great crowd! Each and every single menu item that we purchased was incredibly fresh and flavorful. Team ensured every thing was alright. I will keep coming back. read more

It's hard to describe how phenomenal these guys are. They are located at Eastern Market in front of the aquatic center on North Carolina Avenue every Saturday and Sunday when it is not raining (or, um, pandemic-ing), 52 weeks per year. The quesadillas and the breakfast burritos are the stars of the show - heaping piles of chorizo or meat of your choice, all cooked fresh in front of you. I've also had the tacos, which are the best in the neighborhood, though Taco City DC gives them a run for their money. They also have individual self-servings of sour cream and homemade hot sauce and salsa verde. If they bottled the hot sauce I'm not sure I would ever use another condiment - it is that good. It sort of boggles my mind there are not any reviews for them on Yelp, given they are usually pretty busy and have been at the market for a few years now. Do yourself a favor and go. read more

Amazing burritos/ quesadillas. Probably the best I've had in DC. Rivals the Mexican fare on the West Coast. They are at Eastern Market on the weekends at lunch time. read more

Best burrito in dc!!! Always start my Sunday with a chorizo breakfast burrito. Fantastic. Also have had the steak. Really good as well.
