The 15 Best Breakfast Burritos in Orange County | Eater LA

"The current darling of the Orange County breakfast burrito scene can be found in front of a Cypress Home Depot. The fan favorite is the OG Spicy Burrito which features Portuguese sausage from Masterlink Sausage in Fullerton, tater tots, grilled jalapeños, tons of cheese, and scrambled eggs. The crunchiness of the jalapeños and tots make this burrito something truly special. Recent additions include Linda’s Rizo Ritto: a soyrizo burrito with over medium eggs, and a chili cheese burrito. Calling ahead is recommended." - Sean Vukan

The most random spot to find amazing breakfast burritos ... in the Home Depot parking lot. But WORTH! Sure, there are only a couple picnic tables set up outside the little cafe stand, but that makes for the best "hole-in-the-wall" experience. There was a steady stream of customers that seem to be regulars based on how knowledgeable they were of the menu and the friendly conversations they were having with the staff. For our first visit, we opted for the OG Burrito and the LJ's Sammy (option of bacon or sausage) with the signature sauce. Both were delicious and we definitely want to go back to try all their other items because there was PLENTY we want to try. They also offer various regional hotdogs beyond the LA dog ... Seattle dog, Chicago dog ... I'm sure that would hit home for people from those cities while also an adventure for those who haven't visited. Stop by Home Depot for LJ's!

Great breakfast burrito shack outside of home Depot. Good options. Spicy salsas. Delicious burritos. Friendly staff. Some of the best breakfast burritos in southern California.

This breakfast burrito is really solid, one of the best in California. They don't skimp on the cheese and the fluffy eggs are cooked in heavy butter! Pair this with their spicy green sauce and you'll have one of the best breakfast bites anywhere! I recommend the spicy OG breakfast burrito with spicy green sauce on the side. Update: choose the cilantro green sauce and spicy red sauce! My only complaint is they raised the prices due to the higher price of eggs. This is justified but when the price of eggs go back down, I hope they prices of the breakfast burritos go down with it. IG: kay_okay_eat

BEST veggie burrito i’ve ever had by a mile!! Ordered with LJ’s special sauce and they threw in a Spicy green salsa and recommend mixing the two, such a great suggestion! Cant wait to come back, honestly worth the trek from LA, run don’t walk!

It’s about $13 just one of the best breakfast burritos I’ve had. This burrito is called the OG with added bacon. Everybody loves the crunchy hash-browns. Very good. They do have vegetarian options.

This has got to be one of the best breakfast burritos I’ve tried in OC! I went with their spicy queso burrito and man, it was full of flavor. I got extra meat and shared half between me and my wife. Both of us were really full. The burnt tots were pretty good too, although a little salty. I recommend ordering online as they are very busy and popular! It could take up to an hour or more.

LJ's Lil’ Cafe is a great local spot for breakfast and lunch. Its comfort food is delicious and unique. The menu isn't huge, but it has tasty offerings for any craving. The cafe is attached to the front of Home Depot. There are a few bench tables to enjoy your meals, but many prefer to grab and go. My recent favorites included the OG Burrito, LJ's Sammy, Cheeseburger, and tater tots. The breakfast burritos are huge and have crispy tots instead of hashbrowns or plain potatoes, which add a nice texture to each bite. The burgers and dogs are also well-made. The hot dogs can get messy as the buns will break apart from all the ingredients, but still delicious. The housemade sauces add an excellent addition to any of the meals for an extra cost. 

Service has always been friendly. Ordering online on their website is highly recommended if you're in a rush or don't like lines. Walk-ups, if you're lucky, will get your food within 10-20min. The food is worth the wait, though. I've seen some long lines at peak lunchtime. It's that good!

This family-owned business is usually open at their posted times, but they've been closed occasionally due to personal reasons. It happens, and I'm still happy to support locals. They are open Mon-Fri & Sundays.

Best breakfast burrito around! This place is legit! Don’t be fooled by its meager appearance as a food stand out in front of a Home Depot. I got the OG Burrito with the spicy green salsa. I don’t know how they get the tater tots to stay so crisp in the burrito. The Portuguese sausage and bacon was a great combo. Cheese was melty and creamy. The sauce! The LJ’s sauce was delicious with a slight tang. Spicy green salsa was an added bonus. Portion size was great too. I will definitely be back.

Okay, I ordered online and I was a bit put off because I only later discovered that it was located in a Home Depot parking lot and that it takes them an hour to prepare a take out burrito. I was hoping to grab a quick bite before hitting the road out of the area, so I explained to the guy that H did not realize their typical wait time was an hour and he pushed my order through quickly. Well, lucky me. That guy did a nice thing and I got to enjoy a super tasty breakfast burrito. I typically to not prefer tater tots in my breakfast burrito, but this one was hands down fantastic. Great flavor, cheesy, not soggy at all, not dry, great tasting sausage, and very very fluffy eggs. Also, I'm a big eater, but even for me this was two meals. Yum! Anyway, be advised that it takes them a while to prepare your order, but if you have time, do not hold back. Way above average breakfast burrito.

**Disappointed--Twice Now. Not Worth the Hype or the Price.** This was my second time trying LJ's, but my first visit to the Cypress location. Unfortunately, it didn't redeem my first experience at their Orange location--and that's saying something. At the Orange location, I ordered a veggie breakfast burrito *without* the tortilla. They managed to make it--but forgot the eggs. Kind of a key ingredient in a *breakfast* burrito. I had to point it out myself. I also ordered the queso burrito with mixed cheese but was given Oaxaca cheese instead, which I specifically don't like. It made the whole thing pretty unpleasant. They did try to make it right by giving me a card for a free entrée, valid at either location. So, I decided to give the Cypress location a shot, hoping for a better outcome. I ordered the OG breakfast burrito with extra cheese and asked for the LJ sauce on the side, plus a side of their red salsa and an order of queso tots. I was told there'd be a 45-minute wait, which was fine--I ran to the grocery store and came back after about an hour. When I picked up the order, the cashier read it back to me and mentioned they had cut the burrito in half "to make it easier to eat," which I didn't ask for but could live with. She also confirmed the sauce on the side (even wrote "SOS" on the wrapper) and asked what salsa I wanted--red, which I got. But when I got home, there was *no* LJ sauce. That's what I had been excited to finally try, so it was a letdown. It was on the screen/ receipt, and even handwritten on the wrapper. If there was an extra charge for it, I would've gladly paid--just tell me. The queso tots were also a major disappointment. They were way overcooked--practically inedible, dry, and flavorless. You can see in the photos how burnt they were. As for the burrito itself, it was okay but overly stuffed with tater tots. I barely got any eggs until the bottom and there was hardly any sausage or bacon. It felt more like a potato burrito than a breakfast burrito, which wasn't what I paid for. To make matters worse, I called the location to report the missing sauce and the inedible tots, but they don't answer phones on weekends. You just get a recording that eventually hangs up. Not exactly great customer service. Overall, this was strike two for LJ's. Between the long waits, missing ingredients, poor quality control, and lack of customer service, I can't justify the price or the hype. I won't be back.

Forget all other breakfast burritos you've had because LJ's sets the bar on a whole 'nother level. I thought that I had had good breakfast burritos, even REALLY GREAT ones, but they all pale to those being served out of this shack in front of Home Depot. LJ's Lil' Cafe is a local favorite for all things breakfast burritos. Unassuming from the outside as it's just a small walk-up window stationed in front of a Home Depot, what's cooking up inside is simply magical. I got their Spicy OG Breakfast Burrito which features eggs, tater tots, hot Italian sausage, cheese, and jalapeños. It was perfection wrapped in a tortilla. The eggs were fluffy, the tots were crunchy, the sausage had a nice snap to it. Literally, no notes! Each burrito comes with a side of salsa. You can choose from their signature, red, or green. I opted for the green one-- super refreshing with just the right amount of spice. What stood out to me about their salsa was the portion size. They don't skimp on it and give you a fat tub! If you're feeling extra saucy, they do offer extra salsa servings for purchase, but one tub was plenty to slather around for me.

For a more traditional breakfast burrito, it's very solid. One burrito can feed one very hungry person or be shared for a not TOO? heavy meal! It's not my fav bfast burrito, but it's probably top 3! ======== Veggie burrito 4/5 $16ish (added Portuguese sausage + pickled jalepeno) I also added an extra side of salsa and requested light tots + cheese. The tots were crispy and were a little soft after 40min, but when eaten fresh it's tasty. I didn't find too much Portuguese sausage in my burrito, so next time I probably don't even need it lol the breakfast burrito was good with cilantro crema and ketchup! When you get to the end of the burrito, the tortilla bottom is not saturated in grease so that's nice. Tortilla was yummy, will prolly request extra toasted next time! Eggs weren't overcooked and soft enough with ample ingredients inside. Serrano salsa is very spicy, I could not handle haha Service you kinda gotta enunciate your order as it's loud since the kitchen is right next to the cashier. Guy who took my order was nice!

This is my new favorite breakfast burrito spot in OC!!! They're located right outside a Home Depot in Cypress, you can't miss it. There are only two picnic tables outside so most people just grab and go. They're known for their burritos and sandwiches which I have yet to try the sandwich! Their burritos are loaded with so much cheese, fluffy eggs, tots, and the delicious spicy sausage. If you like the heat, the habanero salsa is a must get here. I wish this was closer to home!

Apparently Orange County has the holy trinity when it comes to breakfast burrito - Athenian #3 in Buena Park, Nate's Korner in Santa Ana, and Nick's Deli in Los Alamitos and Seal Beach. I first heard about LJ's Lil' Cafe from an Eater's article ( https://la.eater.com/2022/6/23/23179020/orange-county-breakfast-burrito-ljs-lil-cafe-cypress-home-depot-new-oc ) and the article stated that this spot serves up one of the best breakfast burritos in Orange County. This outdoor cafe was opened in 2021 and is literally located right next to the exit of Home Depot. LJ's Lil' Cafe currently has a new brick-and-mortar location in the City of Orange and owners used to work at Season 52 in Costa Mesa. [Parking]: Easy Home Depot parking lot. [Atmosphere]: This is an outdoor cafe (built from a trailer) with only two outdoor picnic tables. Most customers pre-order ahead of time and this is not a sit-down dining spot. [Ordering]: First time I ordered in person and my burrito was ready in 10 minutes. Second time I placed an online order and received a notification stating that my order will be ready in 20-30 minutes. I eventually got a text message that my order is almost ready after 15 minutes. I ultimately received my order at the pickup window after stating my name & there was no delay. [Menu]: A simple breakfast menu with just 6 items. The most popular burrito is OG Burrito and each burrito comes with 1 of 5 different salsa - LJ's Signature, Mild Red Roasted, Medium Green Serrano, Hot Habanero, and Creamy Cilantro Crema. First sala per burrito is complimentary and additional 3.25 ounce salas are $0.75 each. The only non-burrito item on the menu is the breakfast sandwich. *** OG Burrito (3 eggs, tater tots, Portuguese Hawaiian sausage, bacon, mixed cheese, LJ's sauce - Mild Red Roasted Salsa, $15.99): Love crunchy tater tot and mild salsa had a strong and fresh tomato aftertaste. It was a huge burrito and it was nice that the staff already cut it in half. Spicy OG (3 eggs, tater tots, hot Italian sausage, mixed cheese, grilled jalapeños, and LJ's special sauce - Medium Green Serrano Salsa, $15.99): It had mild spiciness level which was good as I like to go easy on my stomach. Green chili sauce was also not unbearably spicy so I could actually taste the flavor profile of the burrito. *** A solid 4.5-star for both OG and Spicy OG breakfast burritos, but I personally have a slight preference on OG Burrito. Bump up to 5-star on an efficient online order pickup process. Their salsas aren't as good as salsa from Ham 'n Scram, but OG Burrito is just as good as breakfast burrito from Ham 'n Scram if not slightly better.

Wow. Just... wow. This is one of those spots I desperately want to gatekeep--but alas, the world deserves to know. Because this place? It's breakfast burrito nirvana. Tucked away on the side of Home Depot like a culinary speakeasy for people who know what's up, this literal hole-in-the-wall is dishing out the best breakfast burritos you'll ever have. No frills. No nonsense. Just juicy, flavor-packed greatness wrapped in a tortilla. The crispy potatoes? Golden and glorious. The salsa? Fresh with a subtle kick that says, "Good morning, now wake up and love your life." Each bite is a symphony of breakfast dreams. And the portions? Let's just say your burrito has a burrito inside it. You'll be full for the rest of the day--and maybe even the next. It's basically a 2-for-1 situation, but instead of a coupon, you just get blessed.

I gotta tell you I have a Love for breakfast burritos and there's nothing like finding a spot that checks all the boxes when you're looking for a great breakfast burrito. This place is legit as it comes. In my opinion. Yes, the options are different as they offer Portuguese sausage instead of regular sausage, but to me, that's what makes it unique. Do yourself a favor order online it scheduled you a pick up time and save yourself to hassle in the Waite by just showing up and trying to order as it does get really busy on the weekends. The OG burrito here is amazing even after the drive home the tater tot steak crispy which I love and it's just a hearty breakfast burrito. My wife gets the veggie one which is also really good and make sure you get some LJ sauce in that bad boy which really changes the game do yourself a favor get to this place ASAP and check out what they have to offer.

I friend of mine has raved about LJ's Lil' Cafe for quite a while now for their delicious breakfast burritos. I've been wanting to go a while back but never had the chance because it's so out of the way for me but I finally did this past week! I had a quick check-up at my dentist the other day and saw that LJ's was about 10 minutes away. Once I was finished, I hopped onto their website and ordered their Spicy OG Breakfast Burrito with green salsa for pickup. I placed my order at 9:33AM and was given an estimated ready time for 9:50AM. I arrived early and my order was ready by the time I parked! Loved how filling it was along with the cheese pull. Everything was fresh and so delicious. I loved the flavor of their chunky green salsa. The tater tots were so crispy which was a plus! The hot Italian sausage was delicious and whatever's in that LJ's sauce was BOMBDOTCOM. Is LJ's breakfast burrito my absolute favorite? Nope. Is it in my top 5 of all-time? Heck yeah! I'll definitely be back in the near future because this hole-in-the-wall is easily one of the best breakfast burritos around!

Wanted a filling breakfast but not something TOO hearty, so we stopped by LJ's Lil Cafe to get a nice handheld brekkie! We originally wanted to get breakfast burritos but turns out the menu we were looking at wasn't updated, so they were more expensive than we were expecting ($16). Sometimes you don't wanna spend more than what you had in mind! So we both opted to get the LJ's Sammy ($12) instead The sandwiches were very good! The eggs are scrambled with cheese so you get nice, gooey, cheesy bites. You can choose between bacon or sausage, or pay extra for both, so I got bacon; nice and crispy! I also really enjoyed the sauce, it's probably a spicy mayo of some sort but way better than just your typical mayo + sriracha. Also loooved how soft the brioche buns were

Small stall shop located outside of home depot. The food was delicious. Probably ranked in my top 5 best breakfast burrito in socal. The tator tots were crispy and delicious. It was a little too cheesy for me which i will remember next time i order to reduce the cheese. There were two bench tables for customers. Wait time was 10 minutes. They recommend to call ahead. There was a stream of customers but no long lines on a tuesday morning 10am. Service was friendly and prompt with realistic expectations on wait times. I would come back if im ever in the area.

Figured I try this place out after all the reviews on it I've seen on Instagram and recommendations from other people. While the prices were high (about $17/burrito with tax) it was worth that price. I got the OG burrito with the OG sauce. From opening up the wrapping to the initial smell, you could tell it was a higher quality burrito that would stand out. The size of the sauce was a nice change. They actually give you enough in 1 compared to every other place where you need like 4 to get the whole burrito covered. The taste was very very good. A top 2 burrito for me. My friends who got the same thing said it was perfection and the best they've ever had. Coming back 100%

Saw this place on a "Best Breakfast Burritos" list on IG and I bookmarked it. I was going to be in the area, so I ordered ahead using their website. I got 3 OG burritos and 2 Chorizo. Selected the time for pick up and finished the order. Got there on time and just as I parked, I got a text saying my order was ready for pick up. The employee at the pick up window was nice and friendly. Gave him my order info and he found my ticket and he started packing up my order. The OG was really good. The first thing I noticed, the tortilla had a nice crunch to it. Usually, the tortillas on breakfast burritos are soggy or chewy. This was not. The tater tots were still crunchy, the eggs were fluffy and the burrito was not a bit oily. I just wished there was a tad more Portuguese sausage in it. But all in all - it was a good breakfast burrito. The chorizo burrito, was not as good as the OG. It's not your traditional oily, grease dripping out spicy chorizo that you're probably used to. The tortilla had the same toasty crunch as the OG, the eggs were nicely cooked but it didn't have much chorizo in it. The OG was good and I'd get it again. IF you haven't been before, it's a small shack right in front of the Home Depot.

Man the quality has dropped immensely from just a couple months ago. Back then when you ordered ahead of time the food was still hot and the potatoes were still crispy. But nope, everything was warm, potatoes soggy and the taste just wasn't there. Kinda disappointing for the price I paid.

LJ's has been on my list of places to try for the longest of times now, but it just kept slipping my mind until now. I love the idea of it being in the corner of a Home Depot. It's great. There was no line when I went up to order, but they did get busy shortly afterwards. You can also order online if you want to skip the line. Fortunately, I didn't have to wait too long for my order, 10 minutes max. And they do have two picnic tables there if you want to eat it fresh. I got the OG burrito with spicy salsa. Everything was cooked to perfection. The tater tots were super crispy and added a great crunchy texture to the burrito. The eggs were silky smooth, creamy and custardy, with the cheese perfectly melted in between the layers. The bacon added that animal fat and salty flavor. I couldn't really taste the sausage too much, but everything together was amazing. The salsa was refreshing and helped cut the grease. I'd definitely come back whenever I'm craving a breakfast burrito!!

Wow, if you're looking for a delicious, hearty breakfast burrito, then look no more! After perusing through the reviews, I learned that it's best to either call ahead or order online to avoid the lines. We got the OG breakfast burrito and spicy OG breakfast burrito and both were delicious! I love the tater tots as they were very crispy. The fillings were so good. I highly recommend trying one of each salsa and they were nice enough to comp us some LJ special sauce too. I highly recommend. I would love it if there was a closer location though. Overall, prices are decent. Credit cards are accepted and there's plenty of parking

Heard about this place from a coworker and decided to check it out. This location is connected to the front of a home depot, so no need to think you went to the wrong parking lot. The staff was very nice and helpful when it came to ordering 5/5. I ordered the OG breakfast burrito which was $16 and got a side of the LJ's sauce. The hash browns were crispy and the cross section didn't appear greasy. After eating half of the burrito, I felt like it was a standard breakfast burrito. Everything that was listed for the burrito sounded great, but together it just didn't pack a punch in the flavor department leading to a 3/5. Side note: my friends burrito cheese didn't melt fully in the burrito.

LOOK AT THAT CHEESE PULLLLL. Any establishment that has tater tots in their burritos is automatically one of my favorite places. They understandably raised prices due to the egg shortage, but the quality was so good, and the salsa was a great addition to spice up the burrito. Incredibly fresh, great combination of ingredients for these burritos.

Delicious, hefty breakfast burritos. Ordered the OG Burrito with spicy salsa. A little tater tot heavy, but the tots were extra crispy. Seemed a little light on the sausage. Very filling; did not need the queso tots I ordered. I was stuffed... Service is friendly. Everything is made fresh to order. Strange location being in the Home Depot, but it works!

I learned about this from an IG reel and they're right that it's pretty much an extension of Home Depot. It's between the entrance and exit of the store and not a standalone structure like I initially thought. I ordered the OG breakfast burrito and it was crispy and fresh. A bit salty, but that's to be expected with Portuguese sausage and tater tots. The salsa is not like the ones you get at taco shops. It's actual salsa, so be ready for that. The service was pretty solid and the food came out exactly 10 minutes like the cashier said. There are a couple picnic tables on the outside if you wanna eat it there.

Oh, by the way, the pictures are from their new location if you are living near Orange. You can literally see it as soon as you get off the freeway. Hungry men, try their burritos for a satisfying breakfast that lasts several hours till lunch or dinner time.

I've eaten a lot of burritos in my 50+ years, more than I care to admit, especially to my doctor. I've traveled the world, ventured into street markets, tucked into taco trucks, and chased down culinary legends in dusty little towns. And yet, nothing, nothing has come close to the queso burrito at LJ's. This burrito? It's not just food. It's a life event. It's like a warm hug from someone who really knows what you've been through. I genuinely can't think of a single way to make it better. Believe me, I tried. I even paused mid-bite, stared off into the distance like a food philosopher, and came up empty. It's just that good. Oh, and let's talk about that creamy cilantro salsa. Honestly, if you bottled it and sold it as a mood stabilizer, I'd buy it by the gallon. It's herby, tangy, silky, basically the Beyoncé of salsas. Now, let me just say, this girl can eat, I know my way around a fork. My husband's no stranger to a good meal either. And we split this burrito. Split it! And still found ourselves happily stuffed and a little bit in love, with the food, with each other, with life. LJ's, you didn't just serve a burrito. You served a memory. A moment. A reason to believe that culinary perfection does, in fact, exist, and it comes wrapped in foil.

LJ's lil cafe is hidden in plain sight, located right in front of a Home Depot and is a bit easy to miss even when you're looking for it. Truly a hidden gem because it's so unassuming, I fully believe that this place has the BEST breakfast burritos in OC. You would never expect food of this caliber in the parking lot of a Home Depot. Let's get to the good part: their breakfast burritos and sauce. I've had a good amount of breakfast burritos in my life, and there are a lot of comparable places that are right up there with LJ's, but this place just has the slight edge. I thought about what makes this place better than the others I've been to and I think there are a few major reasons why: their tater tots, their salsa, the meats, and how large it is. Their tater tots are crispy, seasoned, and every bite you take you NOTICE the tots. The tots are much better than the potato's at other bfest burritos 100%. Their salsas are AMAZING. They charge extra for it and I HATE that, but they're trying to get their bread up I guess... give the sauces for free please, you charge 16 dollars for a burrito. The meats that they incorporate are also not in traditional bfest burritos, specifically those sausages. I think the mixture of meats all compliment one another and make the mixture of flavors very delicious. Another thing they do right is using 3 eggs, making the burrito a hefty size. The service is also very friendly, so good food, good taste, mixed in with good service is always a recipe for success. The only negatives that I have, that I briefly mentioned before is the price. They charge extra for the salsa when their burrito is already at $16. Including a tax/tip plus an extra salsa, your total could come close to above $20 for just a breakfast burrito meal. You also have to pretty much take it home to eat so you don't even have the benefit of having a sit-down meal at a cafe. It does suck a little when places such as Nick's deli only costs around $10 and their burritos are also hefty in size with less/different ingredients. All in all, worth to get every once in a while, but not a place I'm coming every day. Good treat to have on the days that I crave it! Very good.

Man o' man, so glad we found this place!! Food is sooo delicious and packed with flavor! I do tend to switch out the LJs sauce out for the salsa verde, but that's only because I love salsa verde. I haven't actually tried the LJs sauce. Service is great! Takes a little long to get food at times but it's for good reason - they are busy!! They have some benches you can sit at outside their unit but I usually take it to go because they're so busy and don't have seats. I do have to say that when I was driving home from work I saw that they have a brick and mortar opening up (or open) off the 5fwy near UCI in Orange! That's super exciting for them! Hope they (will) have longer hours!

LJ's Lil Café has the best burritos! Located at the front of Home Depot, this tiny little shack is growing in popularity. When they first opened, you would have to place your order and come back to pick it up. Now, they offer online ordering. The burritos are HUGE, they're perfect to share. So glad there's a new breakfast burrito spot that is just as worthy as Nick's Deli and Ham & Scram! They have two picnic tables where you can enjoy your meal nice and fresh. They are closed on Mondays but open Tues-Saturday from 7:30 am - 2:00 pm. Sunday's they're open from 8:00 am - 1:00 pm. I highly recommend you give it a try.

One of thee best breakfast burritos around. I tried the queso burrito and it did not disappoint. Last year I did the spicy OG and it was good too but when I tried the queso burrito last time recently, it was a definite winner! I love the way they make their breakfast burritos massive and full of flavor. I want to try more items soon and this is a diamond in the rough sitting in front of a Home Depot.

Second time here (I think about this place all the time) and it was just as delicious. Tots weren't that crispy as compared to the OG one but it tasted so good I didn't care. Their green salsa is fresh and spicy. A great addition! Service was quick and friendly as usual!

Yummy burritos, and love that this place is by a Home Depot so there's plenty of parking! It's an unassuming small shack with a few picnic tables to eat at outside. I came here around 1pm on a Saturday and waited for my burrito for around 20 minutes. I ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito. It was large enough to split it into two meals for me, which justified the price point of $15+. My partner ordered the OG Breakfast burrito with the sausage, which was also great. These burritos was salty, cheesy, crunchy from the tater tots, and overall very delicious! I also really enjoyed their salsas. I drove out around 30 minutes to check this place out and it was very much worth it!

Oof. Its decent quality but insanely unhealthy and oily. If you value your health, this may not be the best option.

Best breakfast burritos in the area. My favorite is the queso. Recommend tater tots on the side if you like them super crispy Price has creeped up a bit, but it's definitely worth it given the quality. Customer service is always amazing too

Located outside a Home Depot, LJ's has really good breakfast burritos. We got the Spicy OG. The burrito came with tater tots inside and the egg was cooked slightly soft which I really liked. This spot is really popular so be prepared to wait a bit for your order. We waited about 30 minutes on a Saturday morning. We killed time by going into Home Depot to grab a free things we needed for the house. There's a few outdoor benches you can sit at to eat. If you're craving a breakfast burrito, LJ's is a really good option.

08/16/2024 Came here after a shooting session at FT3 Tactical in Stanton. They close at 2 pm is we had to rush over here. Sorry only a 3 star rating because I may have ordered the wrong burrito I got the Chorizo Burrito it was just okay nothing special but I liked the green chili sauce it had the right amount of spice and hotness. My brother got the OG Burrito he said it was 5 stars. So I'll try the OG Burrito next time and update this review. Staff was very friendly, they have 2 picnic benches to sit and eat. They are located right in front of the Home Depot. You can miss them right between the entrance and exit doors.

Based in the reviews, im sure this eas ine of those days .. we ordered 2 breakfast burritos online. When I opened mines the burritos tasts so good .. BUT it seemed it was drowning in oil. I tried to co tinue to eat it but the more I took bites the more oil I tasted. You can see the outside of the burrito is completely saturated with oil we ended up tossing the burrito. $39 down the drain but 3 stars only because i believe this was just one of those bad days. (Even added tip on my online order)

It's about $13 just one of the best breakfast burritos I've had. This burrito is called the OG with added bacon. Everybody loves the crunchy hash-browns. Very good. They do have vegetarian options. Service was good.!

Finally tried their famous breakfast burrito. It's huge, flavorful, and definitely fills you up. I couldn't even finish the whole thing. It was solid overall: tasty, satisfying, and well-balanced. but it's nothing too impressive. That said, it's easily one of the better breakfast burritos you'll find in the OC area. Plus, the service is amazing -- super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely worth a stop if you're nearby.

Finally stopped by this place and it def exceeded my expectations. Location is right outside Home Depot aka minimal seating. Waited about 25 minutes for my burrito since there were lots of online orders they needed to take care of. Super chill and sweet workers too. OG Burrito was so good! Good crunch from the tater tots and their house sauce was amazing! Theres lots of other toppings you can add on so we added some jalapeños to ours :)

LJ's deserves more hype, it's the best breakfast burrito that I've had. It's located in front of Home Depot and is definitely a local favorite. We tried two different burritos and both were amazing. The tater tots were so crispy and everything was rolled up into a best package. Each burrito comes with a side of salsa. You know food is delicious when it's still amazing when cold. I ate my leftover half and it still was great. ig: @cravingswithcat

The breakfast burritos are bomb, but be prepared to wait. Order then go walk around Home Depot.

I've been hearing all about this place on IG, decided to give it a try. Called ahead as was recommended by other visitors and picked up my order within 15 minutes. I tried the OG and Chorizo burrito, and both were easily some of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. They don't skimp on quality and quantity with the burrito. The hash browns inside were perfect to provide some texture, and the green spicy sauce was to die for. I came on a rainy morning so there was no line, but I've been around the area before and it can get real crowded, calling ahead was ideal. I will be coming back to try the other burrito options!

It's been a bit so I'll leave another 5-star. :) This place is the king of the breakfast burrito, hands down! The service is always friendly and on point, and it's a chill atmosphere all around. If you're in the area and love a good breakfast burrito then you owe it to yourself to give it a try. :)

The food here is delicious and the staff is amazing as well. Ordered the Spicy OG and the OG burrito and both were made fresh and on point. Tried the hot habanero, creamy cilantro, and LJ's signature sauce and they were all special. Prices are a bit steep, but the food is worth the pricing. Hours of operation are not as friendly so you would need to plan ahead if you would like to give this place a try. Overall, a hidden gem in Cypress.
