Hankering for a breakfast burrito, so I drove my ass on a Sunday all the way here across 2 freeways because you know I would. It's good there wasn't any traffic, which would've just elevated my hangriness.
Spot is easy to find. There's a lot of signage on the street and in front of the shop. Like big signage. Anyway, the place is half full, but people are waiting around. Looks like they've been patiently waiting for a while. I asked the counter guy what was up (I could barely hear him as the phone was practically ringing off the hook and the music was just loud). But apparently, some jackass - probably from one of the studios down the street - ordered 80 burritos. They had asked for an evening delivery, but changed their mind to this Sunday morning instead. Great.
Inside it's clean and orderly, but the music is way too damn loud, as stated. I could barely hear the cashier. Turn it down just a little folks!
So anyway, cheers to the jackass who probably should've hired a catering company instead. Eff you buddy.
Onto the food. Ordered the following:
- Carne asada-bacon burrito - 8.5/10: this is a hefty burrito. First bite is stacked with meat and eggs. And the eggs aren't just some quickly overcooked mess, but nicely scrambled and a bit fluffy. They take their time here with these bad boys. This is an excellent burrito, all the way to the last bite.
Side note: I don't know about you but the best part of a breakfast burrito - or any burrito for that matter - is the very bottom, where all the juices have accumulated.
Second side note - about the area: so this is Burbank, which is like the gateway to the valley and makes home to various entertainment studios, IKEA and not much of anything else. Sitting out here in front eating said burrito, I watched a homeless guy with his sweats hanging down so everyone can see his dirty ass crack sashay across me, people parking right in a handicap spot without any visible handicap disabilities, and some guy obnoxiously yelling into his phone about being lost. Good times in LA :)
