The 15 Best Breakfast Burritos in Orange County | Eater LA

"Athenian #3, also known as Don Carlos #5, has long been a favorite for its breakfast burrito — so much so that there’s a banner outside of the restaurant proclaiming its popularity. The order is the triple meat, comprised of ham, bacon, and sausage. With potatoes that have an almost mashed potato-esque quality to them, scrambled eggs that envelop the potatoes, meat, and cheese (all stuffed inside a carrot-hued tortilla) this burrito still stacks up against all comers." - Sean Vukan

We LOVE Athenian Burger. They have the BEST breakfast burritos in town, in the state. They never disappoint. The service is quick, and the food is always hot and fresh. The burritos are always stuffed! My husband and I always come by for our burritos when we are in town. Atmosphere, it's still very old school, regular register not the fancy POS, simple menu boards, and we are fine with that because the food is amazing.

Great service and food is always fresh and delicious! Why get fast food when you can get great tasting food at a good price! Ribeye burrito was delicious

It is actually one of the best breakfast burritos I've had the honor of experiencing. Great balance of taste where no one ingredient overpowers the others. Not greasy where you won't feel bloated afterwards. I usually get breakfast burritos just cuz I like them, but THIS place I would recommend the breakfast burrito even if you're not into breakfast burritos. I got the western style burrito. I would try the suicide burrito next.

We went for the asada tacos and every time there we try something else. Good flavor. Great service.

Got a steak burrito for $19. You can't feel the meat inside at all, the rice is hard as a rock.

Had a cheeseburger basket, it was great. Compared to the burger I had at Denny's, which tasted only of beef, the burger here had more flavors. Plus the sides. The basket includes a little bit of everything. At Denny's, the 99 cent upgrade to onion rings gave me a paltry amount. This basket requires no upgrades. Plus the zucchini was amazing. Somehow, they make it so perfect that it stays hot for some time. Very dangerous when biting into! But tastes so good. Onion rings were pretty good, while fries are fries, you either get them wrong or right. They did them right, and crispy.

This is the best little mom amd pop restaurant you can go to in the area. Has not changed since the 70-80's neither has the owners or the food. You can't get a better authentic American-Mexican Family owned business in service or in Quality. Locals know where to go for the good stuff...youll find most of the down home locals here...because it's the spot...especially for breakfast burritos...or if you want a place that makes it how you want it. I personally love the unchanged environment too...the dishes are even my favorite...reminds me of the old restaurants in town everywhere when I was growing up...I hope they keep it like it is and never change...

The best breakfast burrito hype is real!!! I'm from San Diego and we joke that you can't get a great burrito north of the I-8 freeway. 😂 HOWEVER, you can if you travel up to Buena Park's Athenian Burger! I got the machaca. Tons of flavor, nice meat to egg and potato ratio. And the tortilla...whoa! Usually it is my experience that the tortilla is an after thought...considered just to be the edible vessel holding the contents of your burrito, the tortilla can often be dry and heavy. Most of the time I leave a large portion of my tortilla uneaten. This tortilla, though, was very good!!! Thin, light, soft and the perfect chew. I tried to capture it in the photo to give you an idea of how great it was but you really just need to get in here and have one. We'll be back the next time we're in town! #burritosarelife 🌯

Everything on this menu is good, however, they do have some items that are more Caucasian friendly than others. I've seen some people saying certain things are flavorless, that's on purpose. My favorite thing here is the chilaquiles with green sauce, they're amazing! But pretty much everything that you order is great, unless you are like "wow, this looks like a very Caucasian food" then you will get a very Caucasian tasting food. Meaning bland. There are a lot of older WASPs in the area that don't like flavor, so you do need to order selectively as they do cater to their clientele. The service is always amazing, the waitresses are so sweet! If anyone is complaining about them, very likely they were also bad to them. I've seen a lot of people treat the staff here like crap, I guess because it's kind of a cheap place. But either way, there's no reason to treat people badly. The staff has also been the same for over a decade, I've been coming here since I was a kid. So it's not like it's a new person, they are the same people who are a really solid team and will treat you really well IF YOU TREAT THEM WELL. But if you don't, honestly you don't deserve good service

Who doesn't love breakfast burritos? A friend of a friend recommended this place so I had to try it out. I arrived this morning around 9:45 AM and there was a line out the door. I honestly don't mind waiting if you're going to advertise your joint for having the best breakfast burrito in Orange County. Had the Suicide Breakfast Burrito and I was left unimpressed. First off, the ratio of egg/potatoes to meat was absurd. The whole burrito was so mushy from the overload of potatoes. The green salsa was very runny and flavorless. For just under $13, it was one of the worst breakfast burritos I've ever had. Long line but it goes by pretty fast. Once you order, you'll receive your food within the next 5 to 10 minutes which is not bad for a full house.

Best breakfast burritos hands down. They are clean and well prepped. Other places I find the burritos to be greasy filled with poor ingredients.

Sylvia P.

Yelp
The burritos are always delicious but because of the rising cost of eggs, they're now charging $1 more for each egg item ordered. That is a ridiculous amount. I purchased 12 breakfast burritos to the tune of more than $180. Eggs are not $12 a dozen. They're price gouging and taking advantage of the increase. This is so wrong!

The food is good pricy but good. The service however the lady that has been working for years always has a resting bitch face and she doesn't have the best customer service. I called one evening and order a half order of chili fries w pastrami no problem. Then an entirely different day I go in and order same thing and she said we can't do that I said I just did it last week. I placed a phone order and the guy did it for me no problem. She was rude about it so I will be calling again in the evening to see if I'm able to place order and I will keep my receipt so prove to her it happens. Your in the wrong business if you have a problem accommodating customers

I ordered the chilaquiles plate with mild red sauce. I decided to dine in since I did not want them to get soggy on the way home. The place was not busy and service was quick. The lady at the register was very sweet and attentive. The food did not disappoint. I'll probably order it spicier next time to give it more flavor but other than that, it was good! Plenty of seating inside or outside in the patio.

I've always been tempted to try these burritos since they promote that they're one of the best in OC. We happened to be in the area so we stopped to finally try. To be honest the burrito does its job but it's nothing special. It definitely needs salsa or something because the burrito on its own is a bit bland. Not sure if they had any but we weren't offered any. Suicide Burrito: the sausage and bacon was good. Comparable to other 3 meat burritos. Not life changing but it's a good burrito! 8/10 No meat burrito: a bit expensive at 10.25 for the most basic burrito but it was okay. This burrito definitely needs something because it's just kind of mush. 7/10 The service was quick, our food was brought out to our table since we were dining in. Lots of parking and in an easy location

Supposedly the best breakfast burrito in town. What a joke. Not the greatest at all's so greasy. The way older lady who was working the register was rude and just threw my receipt at me. I don't care how "busy" you are. FYI they weren't busy. Treat customers better. The bathrooms were disgusting. Had all these cleaning supplies out too. Also if you plan on getting anything with eggs they are up charging. I'm don't know any other restaurants that are doing this. In Mel's cases people that own their own business get their products at wholesale price so maybe you just shouldn't be offering anything with eggs if you're gonna charge that much!

I've honestly been coming here all my life. Since I was in elementary school, I'm 27 now. This place has always been a great spot to eat. For breakfast, lunch, or dinner! I stopped coming here for a while though as I got older due to working far or just not living in Anaheim/BP. But recently I've been coming here with my girlfriend. We've been coming here pretty consistently for this past year. We always get a Chorizo & Egg breakfast burrito with hash browns, a small fry, and a drink. We always share that and we end up spending $20 or less. The service is always great and the food is even better lol. The same people working today for the most part are some of the same as when I was a young kid. Pretty cool to see. Love coming here on weekend mornings, eat breakfast and watching tv. The inside has always been the same since I can remember too. Just an all around great spot to eat at!

Man ive been coming here for so long and its disappointing to see the economy had caught up with u guys, the prices for the burritos has gone up so much and they seem smaller, and when i ask for a coke with no ice, and u only fill it up half way, man... thats a shot at my soul , almost 30$ for two burritos is just insane , i dont think ill be coming anymore sry.

This review is strictly for the breakfast burrito. I ordered bacon & added sour cream. I wouldn't call myself a breakfast burrito expert, but it's one of my favorite food items to eat lol. They have a sign hanging up bragging about theirs, so I had to try it. If I didn't add the sour cream, or use the provided salsa, this would have been one of the most bland breakfast burritos ever. Sure, the base ingredients are mostly the same place to place, but there was literally nothing special about this. With that being said, with salsa and sour cream, it's worth eating, but not at the $12 price tag. I give it 6/10.

Places like this are something that I just miss soo much about living in Cali as eateries like this pretty much don't exist anywhere else outside of California! So this is a small little DIY burger spot that also serves Mexican food and breakfast like it really has everything one could want to munch on! So coming here with my friend ment that all the employees already knew him as he's totally a regular here so I got that extra warm welcome upon arrival for that reason alone! On this given day I didn't want Mexican food it was all about those delicious Cali burgers that you can't find anywhere else like they have just this taste to them that just hit the spot like sure there are a ton of places that make burgers but there's just something special about small diy places like this as they do it right in just soo many ways! My bacon cheeseburger was delicious it was perfectly cooked it had the flavor I was totally looking for and just hit the spot on soo many levels! With my burger I totally went with the fried zucchini something else that I've had trouble finding outside of Cali, while these were just your standard ones they were totally delicious served super hot with ranch and were just delicious with every bite! Overall this place was mellow and delicious as they had just about everything I could have asked for at this given moment which was awesome as you can't ever go wrong with a bacon cheeseburger and fried zucchini as long as the place is doing it right just like they are right here! Who knows when and if I'll get here again but if I do I know it will be totally worth it!

Outside they have a banner claiming they have one of the best breakfast burritos. So we decided to give it a try. We ordered 2 suicide burritos which has a little bit of everything with bacon, sausage, and ham. We also ordered chili cheese fries with pastrami. The prices are fair for how much you get. The breakfast burrito is meaty and has ample filling that you won't be disappointed. Here's where it starts to slip in ratings for me. We ordered to-go and their packing was sloppy. When we were ordering they weren't the friendliest that we felt rushed or they had no patience to answer our questions about the breakfast burrito. The box of chili cheese fries and pastrami had chili spilled all over the outside. Inside the plastic bag basically had spilled food. The chili cheese fries with pastrami had soggy undercooked fries with chili that tasted like spaghetti sauce with how sweet it was The worst for me was when I found hair in my breakfast burrito. It was short and wavy. Definitely not my hair. After I saw the hair in my food. Unfortunately I loss my appetite and threw away my burrito.

Thank you, Athenian Burger, for being reliable early in the morning when my son needs a quick energy and protein boost on our way to a soccer game. When most restaurants are not open yet, you are! Breakfast burritos are QUALITY (my son's go to is extra bacon burrito, no cheese, cut in half so he can eat the other half after the game), call ahead service is easy so that is ready to go when I arrive. Customer service is always amazing and I appreciate that for family nights, the menu has a variety to choose from so that everyone is happy.

When I don't like the food, I eat what I can, and then leave and write about what was wrong with the food. I've received feedback that I should always tell the server or manager what's wrong with the food so they have an opportunity to correct it. Today I decided to complain about the food. The gravy on the biscuits had only one flavor - pepper. It was triple quadruple pepper with no other redeeming qualities. I'm someone that puts pepper on everything and this had way too much pepper to the point of making it inedible. I could've eaten the bacon and eggs and left but I decided to try to do the right thing today. I returned the plate and was charged a dollar more to get one of the breakfast burritos that makes this place semi popular. I did get some attitude about how I can't handle spice. The mostly potato breakfast burrito was as I remembered it from before-ordinary. But it seems like the only thing they know how to make.

Quick service! But overpriced- menu says 10.25 for an egg, hash, & cheese breakfast burrito, I was told 11 at the register and didn't bat an eye- later on my bank statements I was informed I was charged 12.04 for a small vegetarian breakfast burrito lol no meat no add ons. I would rather do Alberto's or burger town- worth the 12 bucks.

The food choices for breakfast is excellent. Their breakfast burritos are the best in my opinion; however, for my husband's taste buds it was just mediocre.

Cut to the quick: No free refills on drinks Food is mediocre Cashier is rude and unwelcoming Server- gotta love her. She's the reason why they even get 1 star Read on for the deets: The banner outside the hut boasts 'Ranked #1 Breakfast burrito in OC'...intrigued us enough to stop in for breakfast. The menu offers your usual burger joint fare that serves breakfast. You can't really screw up breakfast with bacon and eggs unless your cooks are all untrained. We (2 of us) stepped up to the counter to order. Since this was a new place, it took a minute to read the menu. The cashier was fairly impatient and became irritated and downright rude after I asked a few questions. We proceeded to order a French toast breakfast combo to share and one coffee. I brought my own water bottle with water for me. The food was delivered by a smiling, friendly server and I was pleasantly surprised that they served real butter with the French toast. The coffee was weak and watered down. I went to the counter to ask the cashier for a cup (to drink my water from), and the cashier gave me a puzzled look, I clarified, for water' , and said 'oh, a complimentary cup", and handed me a plastic cup. My husband went back to the counter to refill his $3 coffee only to be told, $1 per refill. No free refills. The overall experience and food was underwhelming. The only bright spot was the server's cheery disposition. For Great, Friendly Service from people who WANT to serve the public, and quality food, skip this joint and go to OMEGA BURGER 15 min west of Athenian III on La Palma (Del Amo in LA county) at Pioneer and Del Amo

We usually order our "Hard Shell Taco Plates" from Athenian and never had a problem until now. On Sunday we ordered our taco plates (both hard shell chicken). When I got home we were totally surprised! The chicken was soggy just like the chicken had been sitting in warm water with no taste. After this we will be taking a break from Athenian for a while. Really disappointed, I guess I'll have to start making our own hard shell tacos at home.

Yay or nay? 1/2 Been to several of these spots that claim to have the best breakfast burrito, and this is just another average spot with exaggerated signs. This spot is far from serving a good breakfast burrito, let alone having the best breakfast burrito in town. It's big, but bland. It wasn't all eggs or potatoes like some spots, but the ingredients they used were not well seasoned. It was served piping hot so at least it was fresh, but the ingredients themselves lacked any sort of flavor and were thrown together without much care. Not good, nor bad. Just very average. Expensive? Worth it? 0/1 Prices aren't bad, but the food isn't good. Not worth it in the end. Location 1/1 Location was fine and clean enough. Free, easy parking and debit/credit cards are accepted. Staff was friendly. Plan to return? 0/1 Na, they lost my trust with the best burrito signs and then serving that disappointing thing.

Pretty good stuff. The orange-colored tortilla looks interesting, but I couldn't tell if it had a different flavor. I tried an egg breakfast burrito. I drenched it in homemade sauce I had leftover from yesterday's dinner. That was amazing! The fries are seasoned perfectly and those onion rings are pretty good. Thank you to the amazing staff for having our order ready when they said they would and for being so friendly.

I don't know why Yelp is guilt tripping me to write a good review because of COVID. Last I checked, COVID doesn't affect a person's ability to season food. Tried the breakfast burrito as it's advertised as "Voted best breakfast burrito in OC". It wasn't bad but if it's considered the besy, then I feel kind of bad for OC. Pros: burrito was served scorching hot so it was FRESH. Cashier was friendly, and brought our food to the table which I thought was considerate. Cons: Price, bland food Paid $26 for 2 burritos and a drink and I just don't think it's worth it. If you're in the immediate area, this might not be a bad spot for some lunch. I drove around 20 or so minutes just to try the burrito and it wasn't the biggest letdown of my life but it just wasn't all that great either. Would have preferred everything to be a little more seasoned. Nothing was terrible, just very bland. If I were to come here again, (which is unlikely), I would add pico de gallo to the burrito.

My team and I came here for lunch after a hard days work in the Sun. I don't understand how the total came to $43 For 3 burgers ,fries and drinks I felt like she was nickel and dimming us for every little add on. would you like to add ranch . 75 cents I paid I was not given a RECIPT. That's a red flag While I was waiting for our food I went to the restroom this place is so rundown and unclean it's un believable. Our food finally came and I was not impressed at all poor taste and quality. As mentioned worked in Sun all day was a little thirsty went to get a refill And the lady said it's $1.50 For a refill paid $3 for 2 refills on a small coke wow I felt ripped off. I would not recommend this place if it was the only place to eat. Staff is unprofessional and are only here to take your money and rip you off. Very sad Never again.

This is the best independent "burger stand" in the area. Their egg burritos are awesome. They are a little more expensive than other breakfast burritos in the are but we'll worth the price difference. Their burgers are also very good. The price is comparable to other restaurants in the area. We have not been disappointed in anything that we've tried here. The flautas, omelettes, gyros all were excellent. The staff is friendly.

((Thursday morning 9am)) It's my second time coming here. The first thing that stood out was prices. They seemed to have gone up. ( understandable for everything is going up in price.) This place is very old school diner vibes nothing special or fancy. They sale breakfast and Mexican food. Food taste good. Some of them appear to look bland but as soon as you take that first bite the flavors surprise you. As for portion size it seems fairly big. I would definitely recommend them. Cleanliness: 8/10 (old looking) Friendliness 8/10 (waitress was super nice and friendly, person who took our order seems a bit annoyed) Price: 6/10 seemed a bit over priced Food taste 8/10 Location: 9/10 Over all rating 7.9/10 P.s. try the green sauce!

Been coming here for years now for their burritos and the service is usually okay. Recently on Saturday 7/13 they charged my card twice and I called back a couple days later to let them know. The lady called me back on 7/16 to apologize and for me to come in within the next couple days so they can take care of it for me. Couple days later, I drove all the way over there to let them know my full name and that I was charged twice, and the lady gives me attitude and says she wasn't the one working on 7/13 so she couldn't do anything to help me. Maybe a little less attitude at least since I was the one who got charged twice and drove all the way over there. Never coming here again, since they're okay with stealing money from their loyal customers. You can keep my $13.17, I hope you need it

Had to try this place because of the huge "O.C. Voted #1 Best Breakfast Burrito" sign. We just ordered the bacon breakfast burrito, which was $11 plus tax. It wasn't the best, but it was still very good overall. The potato was surprisingly a major factor that made the burrito amazing. It had a very soft and smooth texture rather than maybe having a dry and powdery texture. One of the downsides is the size of the burrito for the price. I've had bigger breakfast burritos from other places that tasted equally as good as this one, but it costs less than this place, and other places might not charge extra for ranch while the small ranch is 75 cents here. Another downside was the portion of the ingredients. The bacon breakfast burrito had a lot of potato and bacon and an appropriate amount of cheese, but it had very little egg. Overall, maybe not the "best" breakfast burrito, but still satisfying and worth a try

Best machaca burrito ever!! There's always a line, but the food is worth the wait!! They offer a pretty big menu and will customize your burrito! I always add sour cream to the machaca. Delicious!!

My breakfast burrito matched the employee's attitude- it was bad. We was really hoping for something amazing from a place that has a sign that says "OC's best breakfast". Think I'll find other place when I'm in the mood for breakfast or a breakfast burrito.

We had just landed at LAX after a red-eye and on the way home to the Inland Empire to hit the sack. But, we were starving and needed food asap. I stumbled onto this place. The service was quick and friendly. The value for the price was acceptable. The problem was the food itself. I had a chorizo and egg burrito. I planned to eat it as I was driving. One bite, the thing fell apart. Who can't roll a burrito???????? I couldn't, in any way, shape or form, eat this while driving. My wife had taquitos. She said they were just okay. The guacamole that came with them was that liquid stuff like you get in a jug at Smart and Final. However, it tasted as if someone had added lemon to extend the shelf life. Lastly, we had a BLT, which is what I ended up eating as I drove. The BLT was decent. I did like that. Overall though, not much reason to stop here again.

So it was going ok. Got me a carne asada green wet burrito. It's was alright. Not spicy. I killed it really. I got a refill on my medium coke drink & the lady said, that's gonna be $1.50. That's what took me by shock, $1.50 for a refill. Well daamn. Would I recommend. Yeah but bring your own drink from 711 haha I've noticed that's where they get you. On drinks. Everywhere it's about $3-$5.

I'm convinced that the people who rated this place 5 stars, with their review specifically referencing to the breakfast burritos, are family members, friends, or people they paid to write a positive review for it. I haven't tried their other food items, which for all I know could be pretty decent, but that banner outside making that claim should be considered a crime. ur more likely to get a better breakfast burrito from the Little Caesars that's in the same plaza. How? Idk....but that would def. Rank higher in "best breakfast burritos" than this place. okay, but in all honestly, the breakfast burrito is average/nothing special but it's the banner that bothers me most lol

I come here when I want a good breakfast burrito. It's in my top 3 in the nearby Buena Park area. PARKING - pretty limited, especially considering they're open for dine-in now. It gets a little cramped and dumb drivers can cause some "wtf are you serious??" moments. SERVICE - very friendly! Came in at a busy brunch time so as you're in line, someone is taking your order and writing it on a paper that you hand to the register once it's your turn. You pay then wait. Wait wasn't super long, seemed fair since there were so many people dining in and waiting for takeout. FOOD - I really like the bacon breakfast burrito and my boyfriend loves the suicide breakfast burrito. Plenty of meat and the hash browns are good in it. PRICE - It's priced at the higher side but it is better than most breakfast burritos I've had. I did notice on their menu though that they charge extras for EVERYTHING. Every little thing costed extra. It's a little off-putting wanting to ask for extra stuff since it'll cost you. I just stick to the basic hot sauce they give us and I'm good. I, overall, really like this place and come back for good reason - THEIR BREAKFAST BURRITO

I saw someone leave a review saying the burrito matched the attitude of the lady working they're both bad! She was not lying. As this place has gone down. The lady working the register TODAY really needs to learn costumer service especially if they're charging you for basic things like hash browns that come in your burrito on the side. The quality of the food was terrible. I ordered a suicide burrito instead of ham I wanted chorizo. She said no you can't do that. So she ordered me a different burrito all to switch chorizo for ham. Then I asked for the hash browns that come in the burrito on the side, she she said ok that's an extra charge. So I said forget it hold the hash browns. By the end of ordering a simple burrito that she made complicated it was 15$ and some change!!!!! 15$ to not get what I actually wanted. The bad service didn't stop there. After I paid I sat down wherever I could find a seat a table with cleaning supplies all over was the only place until another table opened up that had a bucket next to it to catch a leak coming from the ceiling. Whatever I've eaten in worse places because they at least had good food and great service. As I'm waiting for my food I realize this lady never asked me if I wanted my food to go so when they called my order I asked if I could eat it there, so with an attitude the wait with long wet, dark, curly hair, tattoos on her arm and wears glasses started plating my food at the counter. So I took my plate, asked for red salsa, again with an attitude she turned around I guess to go get the salsa, so I took my seat. At that point I was just over it. The experience all together just really bummed me out. The burrito was a little bigger than what you get from Taco Bell. I opened it up to a bunch of diced sausage crumbled meat that I assume was chorizo because of its dark color and smell and NO BACON! Apparently there was bacon bits crumbled up.

Food and service were great! I've had their double cheeseburger, and their suicide breakfast burrito. Double cheeseburger was a large burger to eat and was seasoned well. Suicide breakfast burrito was possibly one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had, and their green salsa pairs up perfectly with it. Will be back when I'm in the area.

honestly been here a few times just because its close by, the restaurant itself needs plenty of structural and sanitation work. Stopped by at noon today not super busy but few parties in there. I ordered steak n eggs overeasy, don't bother saying how you want your steak cooked because it comes out well done everytime, and eggs were still veryy undercooked and slimy, hasbrown always burnt n toasty. Service is usually mid, today it was very unpleasant. I was confused about the order because it looked like an extra charge was added after my subtotal an i tried to discuss it with the cashier. I was faced with a bit of attitude, i was trying to point out what i was confused about and she'd push my finger out the way and repeat the order over and over. I wasn't trying to give them a hard time, I was just confused and wanted to make sure my total was correct. I left still confused no apology or have a good day just rolling eyes and attitude.

Right off the bat, this place needs an update. The outside, the building, the menu, the BATHROOM!!!!! Majorly needs remodeling and or a good scrub. Pros: Food was decently priced. Decent portions and decent options. Cons: Bathroom was horrifying. Seating outside was ok but it's got old Taco Bell style seats. Kind of sticky and thick looking. It's just a good ole breakfast place. Nothing special, nothing terrible..you get what you pay for. Food was ok. Maybe I'd stop by again but definitely won't be looking for this place.

Athenian Burger was an easy going, feel good diner, with staff who were ready to take your order, and wanted the process to go as easy and quickly as possible. The space was not much to look at, but by judging by the amount of families filled it's space, you'd know it was a great local spot. Athenian is known for their burritos, and it did not disappoint. Me and my beautiful girlfriend stopped by after some hurricane preparation, and it definitely gave us the energy we needed to finish up the day. Thankfully, the hurricane prep was not as needed, but those burritos were well deserved. I will definitely come back for more.

Breakfast burritos are great. A little pricey but they are big and good. With the potatoes inside nice and soft to the green salsa. Never disappointed. Then for dinner, their hamburger with onion rings. They put some kinda seasoning and it stands out. Farmer Boys are a close 2nd but the seasoning makes the difference. Staff are always friendly. From taking the orders to delivering to your table.

Athenians III has been a local favorite here in Buena Park since the 90s. My family has been coming here ever since I was born. The breakfast burritos are the best in the world Today I had their Western breakfast burrito w/ bacon and it was dosed in their wet burrito Chile Verde sauce. Can't believe I never tried this sooner but I am definitely going to keep ordering this masterpiece again and again!
