Consistently one of the best breakfast burritos in the game. The Bacon burrito is elite. The combination of the crispy bacon and the other ingredients creates a burst of flavors in every bite. It's a savory delight that satisfies my breakfast cravings every time. The quality of the bacon is truly exceptional and it adds a delicious smoky flavor to the burrito. The balance of salty and savory notes in this breakfast masterpiece is simply perfect. I can never get enough of this amazing bacon burrito.

Let me list some thought about this place. Cool little spot in DTLA for a quick little turn around pop up. Crowded walkway with people lingering daily. Limited street parking. Pay to park area near by. Pricier than an average quick breakfast pick up spot. Good service. Nice counter server. Ordered 2 steak burritos. Pretty decent. Hearty breakfast item with hash-browns, scramble egg and avocado. Their bagels are my favorite. Idk what it was but it was nice and sweet and I also go their green onion spread. All I have to say is, get that.

Their bagels are good but not exactly bagels. Definitely an artisan bread. They're delicious! And their honeycomb butter is the best spread. Their plain cream cheese is better than Philadelphia cream cheese, but the honeycomb butter still wins. Their strawberry cream cheese tastes like strawberry yogurt. I was excited to try it but was not a fan. Staff is friendly at both locations, DTLA and Pasadena. The DTLA location is buttoned up. Everything is order at a window and you wait outside on the dirty downtown sidewalk. The DTLA location isn't in a desirable area. Grab your food and head out. Metered street parking available.

I started out grumpy over the size of this $18 burrito (just shy of the length of my hand, and lacking in girth), but I have to admit I enjoyed it the more I ate. Something about the mixture of the well-seasoned eggs with cilantro crema (order extra of this!) and crispy tater tots that is executed quite well in both the flavor and texture departments. $18 is a lot for a burrito, no matter how you spin it. In addition, there were some low-lights keeping it from 5 stars: I ordered the "steak" variant. The quality of the meat was fine, but it still tasted like a lower-grade cut. I would have appreciated something a bit higher grade given the price point. While I appreciated that the tater tots were, in fact, crispy (and didn't go soggy), the composition was a bit off. I would have appreciated having the tots potentially broken up and mixed more evenly throughout the burrito. It felt like ingredients were just stacked on top of one another, resulting in some bites getting all tots, and others all egg. Also, this is a nit on service, but I originally wanted 1/2 bacon, 1/2 steak. They said no, they couldn't do that. Not sure why, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. I would have paid a $1-2 up-charge to split the meats, and in fact this is quite common at other burrito establishments. All in all, was it good? Yes, better than I expected. However I would still put this in the "splurge" category, given its overall *lack* of bang for the buck.

I was recommended this place and the flavor did not disappoint. The burrito is small and paying $18 for that little food is unfortunate but it was honestly one of the best breakfast burritos I've had. Coffee was good as well. Service was great, the worker helped with the menus and answered questions. Cool spot in LA, walk up order and counter in a little raised area. No seating but the vibe feels like you're in NY ordering food to go. Cool spot, small serving size, but big in flavor! Honestly recommend.

Reallyyyyy good burritos. Got 2 steak burritos, one with a GF tortilla and a normal one. The GF burrito tasted just like the normal one, so I'd highly recommend if you're gluten intolerant. Definitely not the best burrito I've ever had, and was a little disappointed with the price compared to it's size, BUT it did seem like they packed it up and used nice quality ingredients. Nice lil treat.
