Look. They all can’t be winners. Some places have to be in the middle. Its just the way it goes you know?
On the weekends I go for long rides through the SGV. Whenever I pass this place, in the morning, its packed. All the tables outside are full. But, these rides are not appropriate for having a brick of a burrito in your stomach, so I never stopped to see what was doing.
One day I needed to drop the kiddo off at school, so I decided to take a big detour and get burrito from this place. Even on a Thursday morning it had it’s crowd of regulars, promising. The dude taking orders was gruff, but cool.
This place has a more interesting style of cooking the eggs than most other places. They crack, and mix the eggs for each order, its not all in a pitcher of orange fluid. Its not totally mixed, so there’s still some white streaks. They pour it out to just the right size to fit the tortilla’s “core”. Little bit of crisp around the edge. great.
Now the potatoes, this is where the burrito falls flat. They we’re there, yes, but mostly as thin mush layer. Not much texture, flavor or seasoning, No crispy bits. Not even a hit of saltiness.
The tortilla itself was fine, nothing crazy, not flakey nor doughy, just a middle of the road tortilla, slightly toasted. There was bacon in it, like the tortilla, it was perfectly adequate. Some crisp with a smidge of chew. But otherwise run of the mill.
There was no salsa included, so I can’t weigh in much on that part. Dang, that really helps out, and lacking that is a big hit to flavor town.
Portion size was just right, not a belly buster, but your not really left for wanting when your done.
Overall it was not a bad burrito, but it also wasn’t one that stands out for any particular reason. Totally fine in every way, but not one that you would write home about, and I would not want to deal with a weekend crowd for it. But will say, I like the way they cook their eggs, that will be added to the ideal breakfast burrito.
