Best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had, great combination of flavors, and I loved the sausage option. Portions are fairly big, so you’ll stay full for a good part of the day. The location is also beautiful, you can grab your food and sit by the lake to enjoy your breakfast. Definitely a must-try.

There’s a lot of breakfast burrito places in Orange County, this is my new favorite.Not to big not to small the hash browns were cooked perfectly. I choose carne asada. Irvine location on a Sunday at 1030 not crowded. Highly recommend

Counter order and they bring out food to you. We went in for breakfast. I ordered the breakfast sandwich which came with sunny side up, choice of meat, cheese on Texas toast. Sandwich was extremely good. My friends ordered the breakfast burrito which looked amazing. Great spot for sandwiches. Would definitely go back.

Fantastic food with a large variety of different proteins that can be added into any breakfast burrito or bowl! I will be going back again to try the lunch options since the breakfast was so good. The tater tots were my favorite as they were made fresh and were incredibly crispy and delicious.

delicious little breakfast and lunch place with a cool vibe and nice employees. they claim to have the best breakfast burritos and sandwiches in town and I'd agree! I have had the breakfast burrito and it's delicious, you also get to watch them make it right in front of you. this time, I got the caprese (pictured) and my wife got the bowl with chicken. the caprese was crazy good, tons of flavor and juicy and tender chicken on a pumpernickel roll. the bowl was a but lame if I'm honest, not a lot of variety of flavor. UPDATE 5/22: third time I've had it in the past year and it's going a touch downhill. remember when the salsa didn't taste like water? remember when you paid $2.50 for bacon and got more than one slice? remember when the customer service was way better/employees were friendly?
