This mother-daughter duo is taking on Tucson one breakfast burrito at a time
Burritos are the Briones family’s love language.
It started with Flavia, who would watch her aunt and mother in the kitchen delicately fold a chorizo-stuffed tortilla to create the perfect, tightly wrapped burrito. Flavia’s mother made them as simple as possible — exactly how she liked them.
Those same burritos meant as much to the next generation, as Flavia’s children, Ariana and Sergio, would also stare in a trance as their grandma worked her magic in the kitchen.
Whether it was a hectic rush to get ready for school or the morning after a sleepover, Ariana and Sergio could always count on seeing two tightly wrapped breakfast burritos covered in foil waiting for them.
As simple as the breakfast burritos were, they represented generations of love and family ties, with care put into every last nugget of chorizo.
Now, the Briones family brings those same cherished burritos to the long line of customers that wrap around West Delaware Street.
For almost a decade, Flavia and Ariana have run Barista Del Barrio, 1002 N. Grande Ave., using their family recipes to make sure everyone in the community has a delicious breakfast burrito for their most important meal of the day.
