    Chicken and Waffles
    Katie S.

    This is strictly based on a takeout order. We ordered chicken and waffles and a small side of tots online. It was kinda later in the morning so my daughter and I decided to share something. It came with a piece of breaded chicken, two smallish waffles and a hefty portion of scrambled eggs. There was syrup, some butter, and the description said it came with a side of chipotle aioli, but that was not in the bag. The chicken was super crispy and tasted as expected. The waffles were tasty but my daughter said they were crispier than she would prefer. The eggs were bland and boring and we didn't end up eating them. The tots, were the best thing we ate to be honest. They were crispy, and seasoned well with what tasted like a variety of spices. I wish now we had ordered totchos instead, maybe I would have been wowed like so many of these reviews. I was a little sticker shocked too. For the one meal, with the small side of tots was approximately $21. That is pretty hefty for a fast casual restaurant. I may give them another try but will not order the same thing.

    Cowboy burro (4 years ago)
    Brittany K.

    I lovveee Morning Kick!! I always order the cowboy breakfast burrito, no cheese, and I am obsessed, especially paired with the salsa!! It is on the pricier side, almost $17 for a single burrito, but it is large and sometimes I save half for the next day or split it with my toddler so it's like I get two meals out of it. I have noticed recently that their burritos are filled with mostly eggs. They used to have an equal amount of bacon, tater tot, and eggs, but it seems like they've cut back on the bacon and tater tots which is kind of disappointing. Still super yummy though!! Highly recommend!

    Decade Breakfast Burrito
    Samantha D.

    This was probably the best breakfast burrito I've had in a very, very long time! Came here on a Saturday morning around 8:30am and there was no line but a couple parties seated waiting for their orders. My boyfriend and I shared the Decade Breakfast Burrito which came with Bacon, Chorizo, and Sausage. Can I just highlight that the seasoned tater tots in the burrito WERE STILL SO CRISPY?!!?! I was so impressed with this burrito!!! I feel like the breakfast burritos I've had previously elsewhere are a bit liquidy inside so I've never had one with such crispy tater tots which makes SUCH A DIFFERENCE!!! I LOVE IT, it gave the burrito a nice mixture of textures. This savory burrito was packed with flavor and it was served with a house-made salsa that ended up being wayyy too spicy for my liking :') I ended up using ketchup/tapatio instead. Would highly recommend this place, the breakfast burritos were bomb

    This picture doesn't do justice for all the goodness that was inside this burrito. Oh my gosh! It was so good!

    Return visit. The Decade bowl is just as delicious and delightful as the first and many times since. Instead of carry out we dined in today. It's a cute little spot with board games to play if interested. Service as always was super friendly...small town vibes. Love it! I'm so glad to have this gem around the corner from home.

    8/1/26: pretty good food, though I was disappointed to see all the jalapeno, onions & peppers on the tots we ordered. Good thing my sister likes all that stuff; I had to dig around that stuff to eat any. :-) My English muffin sandwich was pretty normal tasting, nothing spectacular there, but the sauces they gave us helped. My sister's burrito was pretty large & she enjoyed it. Their drinks were a hefty size for sure & tasty, plus the staff was very outgoing & friendly. It's not an overly large place; maybe that's partly why they had a lot of to-go orders on their cart. I can't say we'd return, but only because we don't live in the area.

    AZ Burrito! Soooo Good! Couldn't wait!!!
    Sabrina M.

    Morning Kick!!!!! Great as always!!! Excellent customer service! They are at Farmers market in Saturdays at CGCC. Must try!!!!

    Their food truck is another staple in my visits to the Gilbert farmers market. I always get the decade breakfast burrito because that thing is a monster. Sausage, bacon, chorizo, egg, cheese, and well seasoned tots. Everything I dream of in a breakfast burrito. Not to mention they have a solid salsa to go with it. This monster of a burrito is also somehow cooked the whole way through, cheese melted as well despite its size. The only downside is that it's so tasty that I can't stop myself from trying to eat the whole thing in one go, which means I get so full every time I eat it. My partner also enjoys their Arizona bowl.

    Bacon breakfast totachos
    Skye P.

    I can't get enough of this place. AMAZING food and even more amazing people. The owners are so sweet and make you feel at home with their amazing food and sweet personalities. I've ordered a few things here but the ones that stand out to me the most is the Keto bowl and the breakfast totachos! Definitely a must to try one of those two. Also I recommend the Chipotle Aioli on anything you get here. It's fantastic!

    Cowboys burrito
    Logan P.

    This place is always amazing and the owners are very kind people. We go here pretty often and are never disappointed, their burritos are great, the Kevin bacon sandwich is my go-to, and my wife loves the tatchos. They also have energy drinks and coffee, definitely try them out.

    Waffles

    I tortilla-y love Morning Kick! Morning Kick has the best breakfast burritos as well as the best staff. It's family-owned and -operated. They started out as a local food truck and eventually opened this fast-casual style brick and mortar. The space is cozy with ample seating indoor and out. You can still find the food truck at the Gilbert farmers market every Saturday. I've dined and ordered to-go many times from Morning Kick. I always get the same burrito, the green chili burrito, $11.35. It's one of their vegetarian burritos and comes with scrambled eggs, seasoned tots, house green chile sauce, with shredded cheese wrapped in a 14" local tortilla. This thing is packed full of ingredients and flavor. I usually eat half and save the other half for later. Their fresh house salsa compliments the burrito perfectly. They roast the tomatoes in house and only use fresh ingredients; no canned ingredients. Their burritos also pair well with a side of tots. Aside from their amazing burritos, Morning Kick is also known for their morning kicks -- coffee! In fact, they were on Yelp's Top Places to Drink in Phoenix in 2023. They offer brewed coffee, cold brew, espresso drinks, and Lotus energy drinks. I always get my usual, oat milk latte with honey and cinnamon, which they make really well. I will be back for my next fix!

We got super lucky and were able to sit at the bar, open seating, with the TVs. There are regulars that come in and seem to have a good rapport with the staff and they love the food. It was a bit of a rush time and there was only one bartender so service was a bit slow. We did get some chips and salsa as we waited. Good chips, airy and crispy. The salsa was OK. I'm personally just not a fan of roasted salsa. Their beer was crisp and thoroughly cold which was refreshing. I tried the amor de mango and it was tasty. I can't remember my first drink either. It was a Paloma or a margarita, but i didn't enjoy as much, which is why I changed my next drink. The chimi trio was very tasty and full of flavor, one bean one chicken one beef, all good. Then we got the carnitas cheese crisp which was interesting and had good flavor. I would order both again. Service was pretty good. Like I said, the bartender was busy working by himself and when one of his coworkers noticed, we didn't have any more water then she would come by and help so that was appreciated. It s good date spot, or catching up with a friend or just grabbing a bite to eat and drink for yourself. I look forward to coming back and trying entrees. My only hope is that during the hot bright times they lower the shades and get more shades. Not only to reduce the sun coming in but also reduce the glare on the tv that way all spots at the bar are good spots.

Our server was a lady that makes the food. I'm guessing one of the owners. She was not a very good server. She did not check on us much. We waited a long time to get our check. Hubby didn't receive the tamale. When hubby told her about the tamale she said they were out of tamales & she forgot to tell him. That's because she never came back to the table. She said she needed to make more of them. They were much busier than the last time we were here. Hubby loved his food. This is his favorite Mex restaurant. I forgot to take any pictures until we had already eaten half our food. I did get a picture of a robot that goes to tables to deliver food with multiple plates & then goes back to the kitchen.
