Tacos Villa Corona serves up legendary $5 breakfast burritos—papas, chilaquiles, nopales—in a tiny Atwater Village walk-up with bold, smoky salsa.
"A popular taco and burrito window known for its breakfast burritos, featuring potatoes or chilaquiles, eggs, cheese, onions, and optional add-ins like nopales, beans, chorizo, and bacon." - Rebecca Roland
"This old-school Mexican takeout window isn’t trying to reinvent the proverbial breakfast burrito wheel—theirs are simply swaddled in a thick tortilla and filled with potatoes, eggs, and some cheese. The regular papas are good, especially the ones that come with bacon and taste like a peaceful Sunday morning, regardless of the day. But our favorite is the nopales breakfast burrito: prickly pear cactus is combined with spinach, eggs, and beans (plus a little hint of salsa) to create a texture roller coaster ride - crunchy, gooey, and exactly what you want to start the day with." - arden shore, sylvio martins, brant cox
"Everyone loves Tacos Villa Corona in Atwater Village. That’s why weekend sidewalk waits can sometimes stretch to an hour or more, though most hangers-on agree the time spent salivating at the simple a.m. burritos — including the unadorned papas and chilaquiles burritos and the nopales burrito stuffed with spinach and cheese — is ultimately more than worth it." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff
"Atwater Village mainstay for burritos, tacos, and quesadillas. Popular orders include breakfast burritos and chilaquiles burrito." - Eater Staff
"Once a wonderfully secret local gem until Anthony Bourdain ruined it for everyone, Tacos Villa Corona is in the conversation for best breakfast burrito in LA. Fully hipster minimal, cash only, nowhere to sit although many choose to enjoy theirs on the curb, once they run out of daily ingredients they close no matter what time that is so get there early especially on the weekend. You’ll fall in love with not just the burritos, but with the family who owns and runs this neighborhood treasure. First timers: go with a Chilaquiles breakfast burrito and bask in delicious wonderment." - Brains on Fire
