    The three egg breakfast is great. It is served with a pile of bacon and a mound of hash browns (plus toast). Over easy eggs came just right, this is my new breakfast stop!

    The breakfast burrito is the best I have had in Cali so far. Ask for the asada, and guacamole. It's more money, yet so worth it. It's a good size portion, enough for two or a second meal for later.

    If you're out late this is the place to pick up chili cheese fries or a burrito. The place is crowded; however, the lines move fast. Bathrooms are inside along with an inside and outside dining area.

    The breakfast burrito ratios are miraculous, cheese coating the eggs and potatoes, big pockets of crunchy bacon and just the right smush of avocado. Read more

    The burrito is titanic, an industrial-sized shaft of eggs and bacon and potatoes and cheese and, if you ask for it, avocado (you should add avocado). Read more

    Order a breakfast burrito with avocado, open the burrito, go ham on the insides and use the tortilla as a napkin.

    If you havnt had the breakfast burrito... Kill yourself lol. You can order a combo burrito if you like sausage and bacon. Extra cheese makes it amazing! Don't forget the sauce!!

    Best breakfast burrito you'll ever have! Perfectly cooked crispy bacon and awesome salsa. I also like to order French fries with a side of their 1000 island. Yum!

    I wish there was some avocado burger left so I could take a picture. Delicious and just hits the right spot, definitely. Also, be aware of the zucchini fries.

    I live in Idaho, but every time I come to SoCal, I have orders for their pastrami sandwiches that I bring back on ice. Those are the best on the planet. I have been going here since '73

    The breakfast burrito is substantial. There’s a long line especially on the weekends. There is a parking lot on the side.

    The 1/4 pound cheeseburger is delicious and big. The small onion rings are not small at all either. Service was quick and the place was simple but nice.

    Buy a breakfast burrito and share it with your significant other... it's too big to eat by yourself! And the bacon burger comes with, seriously, an inch-thick layer of bacon on it.

    Breakfast burrito is good, but if you want the best, try Pharos in Alhambra. Hands down the best. Just order before 11am
