TRUST the other reviews when they say you'll be waiting 45 minutes for a burrito. To be fair, we came on a Saturday when it was busier -- but it seems that they aren't super efficient with balancing online orders and in-store orders‍ The machaca burrito is really good though, and the portion is definitely large! A big price for a big burrito I suppose. The staff was pretty friendly, and it seemed like most people ate outside or took it to-go. The interior was pretty plain. read more

Heard good things about this place so decided to try it out while we were in the area. We had a service dog with us, as we walked in we noticed the sign on their door that clearly said "No animals allowed EXCEPT SERVICE ANIMALS." There were two women working the register, whom of which immediately said "we don't allow dogs in here." not even a greeting. We said "he's a service animal" and the shorter woman who I assume was one of the managers rolled her eyes and told us we would have to be seated outside. Our party looked at each other and agreed to take our business elsewhere since we felt unwelcome there from the start. Mind you, it's illegal to treat a customer with a service animal anything other than a normal customer. Forcing us to sit outside is illegal and considered discrimination. Anyways, "Sunlife" around the corner was a fantastic alternative and super welcoming! read more

My first visit to Lily's was amazing! Ordered online about an hour ahead since their website says there may be delays. When we finally arrived to pick up our order, the scene was bustling! Lots of folks eating outside with their dogs. Walked inside to pick up our order, and though they were busy, they seemed very organized and on top of it. We arrived about 15 mins later than they said our food would be ready and it was still hot! We ordered two Pancho burritos and added papas. The burritos were a little heavy on the beans but WOW were they good! Everything I would want in a breakfast burrito. The best surprise of all was how amazing their house salsa was. Make sure you ask for extra! Definitely recommend getting your food to go and enjoy that ocean view! read more

Breakfast burrito was very good. We really enjoyed. A large burrito was enough for us to split and leave room for dessert later.

I wanted it to be great. The line was insane, that's fine. It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and everyone was outside getting a coffee from the nearby coffee shop, and it's was nuts inside of Lily's. I had a simple breakfast burrito, eggs, beans, bacon, grilled tortilla. It was nothing special, actually kind of bland even with the salsa's provided. There are better places for this kind of thing. read more

We tried the breakfast burrito here and it was so good! The chorizo was very flavorful and went really well with the eggs and beans. The medium burrito is $11 (which seems a little pricy at first) but it is huge and stuffed with ingredients - I was only able to finish half of one! The burrito also came with salsa on the side and these added a nice kick. The only downside was the wait for our food so I'd probably give this place 4.5 stars. We waited probably about half an hour for our food to come out. read more

The asada is not asada... maybe chuck roast? The burrito although large had no flavor, same for torta and tacos. Chicken flautas are ok. Quesadilla was good, I hope you can't mess up cheese and tortilla too much. My son enjoyed his cheeseburger and fries. Horchata was good. If you know good Mexican food... you'll know you're not gonna find it at a "Latin cuisine" spot. I'm not sure how it has 4 stars, maybe locals don't know good Mexican food! We went to the cafe next door to get rid of the taste (posted a review) Service is meh. They don't bring you the food or clean tables so not sure why there is a need to tip. read more

I haven't been back since pandemic days when this review was posted but almost every weekend I order a chile relleno burrito from new Mexican restaurant to get something that tastes as good as Lily's and to this day I still haven't found one :'( going to make the drive back to Malibu soon just to get one! read more

Machaca Burrito is the hidden gem. Those who know. Order. Bacon breakfast burritos is great also. Green salsa is unique but has a decent amount of heat. Use sparingly! read more

I had been wanting to try this place after hearing such great things. Service was unfriendly to start with. Ordered a sausage breakfast burrito and waited about 25 minutes for it. It was below average. It was mainly eggs and the sausage was more like cut up hot dog pieces. The burrito had no flavor and the salsa wasn't that great either. I wouldn't mind paying the $17 for a burrito if it was good, but I was really disappointed. read more

We stopped by Lilys around 10:30AM on a Saturday after hiking Escondido Falls. I ordered a bacon breakfast burrito and my friend ordered an Al pastor lunch burrito. We were told it would be a 35 minute wait. The burritos were packed but the breakfast burrito lacked on the bacon and some bites were just pure refried beans. Mostly eggs, cheese, and beans. The sauce was pretty good though! 3/5 The Al pastor was better in my opinion- it was a lunch burrito so it had rice instead of eggs. The top part of the burrito was mostly the refried beans so had to eat through that first to get to the meat. But the meat was pretty flavorful and great paired with the sauce. 4/5 Parking is pretty spacious lot since it's in a plaza. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Really awesome burritos. Especially if you plan to pick up to eat on the beach! We tried the Fish burrito and the Loco Burrito. They are huge so 2 burritos was enough for 3-4 people! Only reason it's not five stars is because it's a little pricey ($36 for 2 burritos) and because their wait time is quite long for everything, which can be expected with a busier smaller shop. Overall I would visit again! read more

We tried this place today for the second time. We ordered the breakfast burrito and paid around $20. I end having a bite and trash the rest. It was full of beans and a little bit of egg and falling apart and looks disgusting. read more

While Lily's Malibu was situated in a cute location and provided a more personal customer service, the food and the price were truly not worth the trip here. I got the chicken bowl, carne asada bowl, and an order of chips and salsa for a whopping $61. When the salsa came out it was in 3 of the small sample size cups and lacked any flavor besides ketchup. When the main course came out, while the sizes were huge, the protein was lacking flavor. It felt like the chicken was boiled, the carne asada was basically ground beef, and sprinkled with a tiny bit of seasoning and then smothered in a bunch of unsalted refried beans and rice. Totally not worth the $21 they are charging per bowl. read more

DON'T SKIP OVER THIS PLACE!!!! Honestly, some of the best food I've had in the area. Simple menu and great costumer service! We ordered asada quesadilla, chicken flautas and some burritos, all the plates were HUGE!!! Sure, it looks kinda expensive at first but you get your money worth in food. The flautas were double the size of the typical skinny flauta and delicious!! The burritos will fill you up or can even feed two! The quesadilla was also full and they don't skip on the meat! LOVE IT! Def recommend!!! read more

Their burritos are fantastic, and huge! Even the medium is too much for me, and I have a big appetite. Always great to take some home!!

When I used to work in this plaza circa 2015 Lily's was half the size and a lot more affordable. Since then prices have gone up but they also expanded and renovated the inside. However they are still busy as ever and food still takes 30 min to an hour. Highly encourage people to pre-order and just come to pick up especially on a weekend, where my burrito was going to take an hour. Oh well, nostalgic burrito lunch wasn't going to happen today. The tamale plates, thank God, we're available immediately so we chose the two tanker plate w beans and rice for a bit over $17. read more

The food here is pretty good and for that it gets 3 stars instead of 2. I do like their fish tacos quite a bit, but was pretty disappointed with their Loco Fries that they advertise as a real popular one. I guess my problem here is that it takes a really long time for the food to be ready, and they don't put things on the side. For example, I couldn't share a burrito with my boyfriend because he can't eat onions and I love onions and when I asked them to put it to the side they said they don't do that . They can omit but not put it on the side. Same issue with salsa on the loco fries. Kinda odd that a place would be doing that. And then... well... the service was kinda lame. The woman at the front wouldn't let us pay ahead claiming that she needs our food to be ready for us to pay. Ok... another oddity but fine... 30 mins later I go back in to check on the food and this time the guy said another 5 mins. I also say that we haven't paid yet and he acted surprised and kindly took my money. So what this lady said was hogwash. She was kinda rude about everything, as I was paying she was in the background and kinda rolling her eye in the sense that she knew she told me something else. Meh, I wouldn't come here again, but I can tell they have a lot of customers so I'm sure they don't mind! read more

Had to come try the best breakfast burrito in Malibu while I was in the area. We ordered the burrito and horchata online around 45 min before we arrived and picked up as many people have stated it takes between 30 minutes to 1 hour on weekends for the food to be prepared. Spot on timing for us as our estimated wait time was 45 minutes and our order was ready when we entered the restaurant! The cafe was big and much more spacious than I thought it would be. Tons of indoor and outdoor seating available! We also ordered 2 chicken tamales which aren't available on their online menu since it is a Friday/Saturday special and they were so delicious. Perfectly warm, soft, flavorful and meat wasn't dry at all. The burrito was huge! We got a large bacon breakfast burrito and shared with one other person. Very very filling and had a good balance of bacon, beans and eggs. Paired with some avocado and the green salsa, it was perfect! I think 2 people can comfortably share one medium burrito and 1 tamale. We had to take the other tamale home to enjoy another time. The horchata was also very delicious because it wasn't too sweet and didn't have too much cinnamon. Perfect way to balance out the spicy salsa! I am excited to come back on the next beach day in Malibu. Parking was very easy and there are 2 lots for the plaza so if you can't find any spots on one side, go to the quieter side and I'm sure there will be a few open spots! read more

BOTTOMLINE: NOT HYPE~ The large breakfast burrito was perfect for 2 people to split. The salsa that came with it was a 10/10 but the extra $3 for a small side of guacamole is "meh". FOOD: burrito = a solid 8/10 in my opinion PEOPLE/SERICE: very nice friendly employees(expected to wait 30 min but we only waited 15 mins) ATMOSPHERE: it's a small cafe within a small plaza- mom & pop feel PRICE/VALUE: kinda high but you're in Malibu..that guacamole was way over priced lol Note: I would comeback again if I was in the area and hungry read more

Lily's will always be a staple for Malibu locals far and wide, and a fantastic spot to check out if you're passing through! I have been coming here since I was a kid, of course for their legendary Breakfast Burrito and to support local ownership. Now a (somewhat) adult, seeing my niece and nephew enjoy this spot as much as I do has been a true treat. A note that they do get busy - but for good reason! read more

Picked up three breakfast burritos to go (about $11 each) and I was surprised how massive they were! That's a plus! Delicious and fresh ingredients, I'd definitely order from here again! read more

Best restaurant in town hands down. Everything is sooooooooo yummy and the staff is so wonderful

I've been goin to lily"s for 20+ years , and I can tell every employee there always work extremely hard. I have witnessed some situations where some costumers bash on the workers for making a simple mistake or the wait time being too much ... people need to understand that these are human being a with real lives and everyone make mistakes. The waits are sometimes extreme but the food definitely worth it and you can tell that they make the food with heart and passion. I see Lily their every time I go and see her working just as hard as everyone else clearly showing empathy' to her workers by helping them out while managing the restaurant. I give 5 to the food and service but 0 stars to the people who don't understand how hard they try to make our experience there memorizing. read more

First off the food was good. Burritos here are huge. Very tasty. We enjoyed it. However, the service was horrible. The girl who took our order was super rude and dismissive. Not at all friendly or helpful. We spoke to what i think was a manager then the owner about the experience. Neither appeared to be too concerned with the behavior of the staff. For this reason I would not recommend this location nor would I return here again. I forgot to add. #LocalsOnly cause if you're visiting they do not care about your business. read more

This place gets pretty busy so we ordered ahead. It wasn't exactly ready at pick up time so we still had to wait around 10 minutes. They were generous with the sauce though, and I especially liked the green sauce. The red sauce was not spicy and was more like pico de gallo. I got the mahi mahi burrito, which has fish in it. It was a little pricy at around $15. I got the regular size, and got 2 meals out of it. It was alright, nothing spectacular or memorable. The fish tasted a little dry but it was plentiful. It was a convenient meal to eat on the beach as well. read more

My friend and I ordered online ahead of time and picked up breakfast burritos to take to the beach this morning. We'd never been before and both were impressed! We ordered maybe 25 minutes ahead of time and it was ready when we got there. I got the Pancho Veggie burrito without peppers and it was sooo good. The beans are so good it was one of the best breakfast burritos I've had! Super soft tortillas and great hot sauce read more

Open for takeout during covid-19, with some outdoor seating and restroom available inside. No indoor seating at this time. Breakfast burrito- chose bacon, came with eggs and refried beans. The burrito comes in medium and large, got the large and it was well filled. The burrito as a whole needed more seasoning. The hot sauce that comes with it is spicy but also lacks seasoning. Could have used some salt. Overall a decent breakfast burrito but not something I would come back for. Could have used a little more bacon in the large in proportion to the beans and eggs. Food is made fresh so call your order in first, 45 minute wait on a weekday at 11am. read more

After hiking Escondido falls we were in the mood for a heart burrito and Lily's did not disappoint! The fish burrito was delicious and the chips and salsa were so fresh the chips were still hot.

Best breakfast burritos in Los Angeles. Been going to Lily's for nearly 20 years now.

Stopped for lunch today .. had asada tacos and they were absolutely wonderful ... I ordered two and they give you two full tacos and two tortillas- because it is enough for four tacos!!!! Fresh and delicious--- if you are in the area give them a try. read more

I talked this place up, even telling people it's worth the wait. But I've had enough. I was lying to myself because nothing should take this long for a breakfast burrito. It's faster to drive down to Malibu Kitchen, which is better and nicer people. This is a service business, but I guess they don't care as long as they make money. read more

My fiancé and I had decided to eat at Lily's for lunch today since we didn't want anything fancy, and in comparison to the other spots in the area for the freshness and portion size you get here it's worth every bite and penny. We both ordered large burritos. He ordered the carnitas and I ordered the mahi mahi fish burrito. Let me go by saying I've never in my life had a fish burrito but after experiencing it here it will be my go to type of burrito when available. I devoured the whole thing in one sitting. I'm not a big person either, just have the appetite of a beast and have no shame about it. Anyway if you're one of those people who's got a smaller appetite or in a diet, I'd suggest getting a medium burrito and cutting it in half and sharing with a friend. You won't feel as guilty. Also their chips are made in house and greasy af, but crispy and best with the green salsa. Wish I could add the drooling emoji here. I'm gonna be dreaming about burritos tonight. read more

A solid and huge breakfast burrito, can't really recommend the other entres. I'd give it an A+ for the sheer amount of food, though it has varied over the years. Maybe a B for flavor and texture. The salsa helps but don't expect much crunch like crispy bacon or potatoes, unless they've recently changed things. Prices were more than fair especially for the area. Nice place overall, though more of a take it to-go. read more
