This place is amazing! The owner was extremely friendly and the food was some of the best I’ve had when it comes to breakfast burritos/quesadillas. I’m from riverside but I will definitely be making the drive back!

I got the sausage burrito and sausage quesadilla. It was so yummy. The guys that run this are super cool. Both items were excellent. They provide a green sauce on the side. It has a really nice citrus kick to it. Lots of parking in the lot or on the street.

10/10 great service and food. Quality of food never lacks and it's great every time. If you're looking for a food breakfast burrito spot this is the one!

This place was phenomenal. For $12 you get a thick burrito, well worth the money. They are busy on the weekends, so we called in an order and it was ready by the time we got there. The potatoes were so flavorful and the veggies in my veggie burrito were cooked so well. I dream of this burrito!

First off, not a big fan of breakfast burritos. I like my breakfast on a plate; the eggs, potatoes, and sausage (or bacon) separated. Secondly, if you aren't a fan of rosemary, you may not enjoy their potatoes in your burrito. The aroma will be noticeable when you approached their stand. That said, the care and expertise with which they prepare each component and assemble them is clear with every bite. The potatoes are phenomenal. Instead of a vast flavorless void upon that first bite, these expertly seasoned home fries are like a big welcome mat that reads "EAT ME!!" compelling you to continue eating. The rosemary fried potatoes are a flavorful foundation to this burrito. Usually, the potatoes are one reason I'm not a fan of breakfast burritos. The potatoes seem like they're just happy to be there-- filler; a starchy flavorless void in each bite. These home fries really deliver in the flavor department. It was honesty eye-opening to me how good potatoes can really enhance the whole breakfast burrito eating experience. Second, I feel refried beans are somewhat hit and miss. My litmus test for a Mexican place is, how good are their refried beans?? Burritos should include really good refried beans and breakfast burritos usually have zero; they're more like breakfast "wraps"The beans here are really good. They're refried right on the plancha. Their bean & cheese burrito is comparable to La Azteca's beans or the beans from Lupe #2, except the texture here is stiffer. Perfect for burritos. The eggs feel like they are scrambled right past "soft and runny", but before they become too rubbery. In other words, they're cooked perfectly. They are nice and moist and like every other part of the burrito, deftly seasoned. I love how all different components share the same griddle space-- The potatoes are shoved aside so eggs can be scrambled in their space; the bacon is frying at one moment and at another, beans are being refried in that same section. The flavors all come together. It's like alchemy. Every moving part of this burrito-- the potatoes, the beans, the eggs -- are so well executed on their own but at the same time work so well together. Honestly these guys are assembling the Green Beret A-Team of breakfast burritos. They're located in the parking lot of the Altadena dairy mini-mart on Garfield, just north of Riggin and are open from Saturday to Monday. They may cook under pop-up canopies, but don't let that stop you. They cook up some really really good eatin'. I'm still not a fan of breakfast burritos, but I'm definitely a fan of theirs.

Solid breakfast burrito spot to get your burrito fix in! We found this on Yelp when looking for a quick place to grab food since we were staying around the area. They have a little shack off the road - find them under the tent!We tried both their sausage breakfast burrito and bacon breakfast burrito - both were packed generously with loads of potatoes and their respective meats. I found that I enjoyed the sausage one more than the bacon, mostly b/c there wasn't as much bacon in the burrito as I had hoped.The gentlemen who were there making our order/serving us were all great and friendly, but another downside was the wait. I'd definitely suggest calling in since we came on a busy Sunday and waited about 30-40 minutes for 2 burritos.Don't forget to get their sauce on the side!

Was mad hungry after picking up my Black Friday haul, and found this joint nearby. I parked in the liquor store parking lot, and quickly got my order in. The person taking my order was super friendly and made sure to highlight the menu offerings. I appreciate the menu being limited to six offerings. They have a seating area within the tented area while you wait for your order, which is a nice touch.The breakfast burritos have a twist in that they put in beans; however I was willing to go out of my comfort zone, and I ordered the bacon burrito. I really like that they put in rosemary in the eggs, which was a good touch.Overall, I respect the food and the hustle, but it still left something to be desired.

Hidden gem indeed! Got both burritos and I prefer the sausage one just because their pico de gallo and sausage were amazing. Call and order in advance or order via grub hub so you don’t need to wait there. Free parking is a plus! They were very friendly and gave extra sauce for waiting. ?

The staff was hard working and I had all sorts of expectations because breakfast is one of my favorite meals of the day. I tried the vegetarian burrito, bacon burrito, and sausage burrito so that I can decide which burrito I can order next time when I come back. Unfortunately for me there will not be be a next time. I'll tell you why, the bacon burrito tasted like a mushy hot mess. Texturally I'm expecting a lot of crunch from the bacon, but it was mushy along missing it with eggs and beans, it was underwhelming. Next was the sausage burrito, it got a little better, but tons of potatoes and the sausage was diced up so fine it tasted like ground meat. Next was the veggie burrito, it wasn't bad, it came with potatoes, spinach, and mushrooms. It was so so also. Overall it's not worth the hype because of the cost and taste. If you want something that knocks the your socks off. Try the breakfast burritos from Chanos in San Gabriel. I get the chorizo and bacon burrito and I add Serrano chili peppers in it. Also lucky boy in Pasadena is a sure Win too. Loaded delicious meats and hash browns. A hidden gem I stumbled upon awhile ago near the Burbank Airport is Curbgrill food truck. Look them up on yelp, they're in Burbank. Let the pictures speak for its of. That's how an awesome breakfast burrito should taste and look.

Been meaning to try this spot for awhile, and today was the day I broke my diet Sitting right next to Alta Dena Dairy parking lot on left side, drove straight and parked to the right.Ordered their sausage burrito which had pork sausage, potato, cheese, egg, secret sauce and added bacon! Thanks Chris :)Sausage burrito was delicious! Been craving for sausage and this definitely hit the spot. Was made fresh and also came with some green avocado sauce? Not sure but it def had some spice to it! Consistency in burrito with all the ingredients all made sense. Outdoor setting so weather was humid and warm. Wait time was about 20 minutes so don't be in a rush for some quality burrito. This didn't disappoint, will come back for another menu off their item. Chris was super friendly and even had a quick small conversation. Staff were focused and busy, but definitely seemed friendly. Thanks for cooking for us, definitely enjoyed it! Prices + Ratings:Sausage burrito $12 + $3 bacon P.S. bring that cash money Must try!

I saw something on IG about their breakfast burritos and decided to give them a try. Followed their page on IG, and their story showed that they were only accepting cash, zelle, or venmo and using a different phone number for this weekend. Cool, so I gave them a few calls because no one picked up. Once I got thru, I placed an order for 1 bacon and 1 sausage burrito, the girl said 15-20 minutes. Perfect, since it will be that amount of time to drive over. When I got there, I paid $14 for bacon and $12 for sausage and was surprised my order wasn't ready yet. Also, the girl taking my money got confused because another worker was taking money out of the cash till at the same time. He took $40 and ran out of there. I got my change and took a seat with a few customers who were already waiting. Over heard the workers' conversation about the girl leaving for college but found it disappointing cause it gave me the impression that they weren't focused on the orders but rather carried a casual conversation about other things. The main chef would keep yelling, "hot!" or "behind!" Reminded me of an episode of The Bear. But what he would scream out next was, "Cesar has been waiting, just give him sauce.. he ordered sausage - give him extra bacon. " I'm guessing that they were getting further and further behind on their orders and needed to compensate for the longer wait times. When they called him up, the girl apologized that they didn't have any bags for their carry out orders (guess that's why the other worker took cash out from the till). The customer produced his own plastic bag from his pocket. Then they called me for my order. They, too, gave me extra sauces. The total wait time from placing the order was 40 minutes. The burritos were decent size but tasted sour. I like the taste of lime/lemon, but maybe it was too much acid in the Pico de gallo? The burritos were mainly full of beans and not a lot of protein. Also, I was surprised that they cut every burrito in half. My burritos were soggy from the center being cut by the time I was able to sit down and eat. I wanted to give them a shot but won't go back again. Saw in their IG story posted at 12pm of a picture in the supermarket showing an empty shelf of refrigerated section. Apparently, they ran out of bacon.
