The Chile Pepper
This 60-year-old Yuma spot may have one of the best best burritos in America, according to a recent article in Thrillist. The Gutierrez family employs a team of 17 people to work in a nearby factory making fresh corn and flour tortillas every day, starting at 1:30 in the morning. Their masterpiece is the simple bean burrito, which The Chile Pepper sells in fat little chubs for $1.89. It's not too big, so you can eat a couple and still feel good on the road. bgfamilyltdpartnership.com , 928-783-4213 , 1030 W. 24th St., Yuma.
