    The place
    Bryan C.

    I came here to try the OG burrito, and it was seriously fire. Super flavorful and definitely lived up to the hype. If you go, make sure to get the creamy cilantro sauce it takes everything to another level. The setup is pretty low-key since it's more of a kiosk in front of Home Depot, but honestly it doesn't take away from the experience at all. The vibe is still chill, and the food speaks for itself. Service is pretty standard you order, pay, and they call your name when it's ready. It can get busy since the place is really popular, so I'd recommend going early if you want to make sure you get the burrito. Last time I went, the hours were around 7 AM to 1 PM, but that could've changed. Overall, a must-try spot if you're in the area especially for the OG burrito.

    This is such an interesting find on Yelp! I definitely went to this Home Depot a couple of times not knowing that there was a breakfast burrito place right in front of it. We got the Spicy OG burrito and the LJ's Sammy. They both come with your choice of sauce. Unlike other places, they did not skimp out on sauce and it definitely lasted until the last bite of burrito. The LJ's Sammy was a decent breakfast sandwich. The LJ's sauce was definitely the star of the show. I wish the sandwich was a bit bigger though. The burrito on the other hand was well made with perfectly crispy tots inside. The sausage was also flavorful and tender. Paired well with the mild salsa. The burrito was about $16 and Sammy was $12. It's a little bit on the more expensive side for burritos. Overall, it is still a good breakfast place to try when you're around the area!

    I remembered seeing this café on one of my IG reels and so when I was heading out of Home Depot, I had to order a breakfast burrito Got the spicy OG burrito with the medium spicy salsa Verde Brought it home and divided into two meals it is huge. Excellent ratios and just a well-balanced burrito probably one of my favorites on the list now. You can call ahead and they will take your order but I waited about 30 minutes before I got my order. No seats inside it's just a little food truck and a bunch of seats outdoors so you can take it to go. I really enjoyed this place.

    Who knew this little burrito spot next to Home Depot would be such a hit! Came to pick up some breakfast burritos at 8 in the morning and this place was packed. Good thing we ordered ahead and they made that burrito quick; it was ready by the time we got there. My friend and I can finally say this is the best breakfast burrito spot we've had. In the words of one of my friends who responded to my story, "this place fuxxx." We both had the Spicy OG Breakfast Burrito with the green sauce. I wish it came with more than one green sauce because extra sauce was 50 cents more and I'm a saucy gal. If you think it's enough sauce, double it and give it to the next person (aka me). The burrito was so good - I could maybe do without sauce but that would be crazy and the closest psych ward is 10 miles away. However, the crispy tator tots, melted cheese, and spicy Italian sausage paired so well together that I might go off my meds and just have this instead. This one burrito served 3 meals for us so I can't complain.

    On a whim, I found this little Cafe. It took me a couple passes through the parking lot to realize it's located in front of the Home Depot (HD) exit. Truly a great spot. I came for a breakfast burrito and it didn't disappoint. At a higher price point than I expected, it was very satisfying, filling, flavorful and enough for 2 meals. I was also told it would be about 10 minutes to prepare and it was ready within that time frame. Since it's in the Home Depot parking lot, parking is plenty. There were several others, like myself, who were just coming for food without stepping inside HD. They are only open until 2pm. I am usually not in the area til later in the afternoon, but I am keeping this place on my radar to return to when my schedule allows earlier in the day.

    Located outside the doors of Home Depot, this is a cool breakfast spot. There's a couple picnic tables out front but it's more of a to go style walk up. The get very busy in the weekends, at peak times they quoted is 1-2 hour waits for burritos! We went very early on the weekend and enjoyed a quick 15 min wait time. We ordered the OG burrito and LJ Sammy. OG burrito has delicious tator tots inside. The burrito was huge. So filling. The Sammy was "ok" you should get this if you can't handle a huge burrito. Highly recommend trying it and they do catering too!

    OG Breakfast Burrito

    My new favorite breakfast burrito spot in OC! But let me tell you, expect a wait. The Cypress location is unique in that it's basically a little shack in front of a Home Depot. There are two windows--one for ordering and one for picking up your food. They have a few tables outside, but if those are taken, then you'll have to take it to-go or stand next to some lumber or pots while you eat. I ordered online around 8:45, but it was a bit confusing because the system tells you it will only be a 30 minute wait, but the estimated pick up time they provided was an hour and a half later. Wasn't sure when I should arrive, so I went in between those times. Thankfully it was ready a little before the estimated arrival time. I overheard some other people talking saying that if you order in person at the window, the wait can sometimes be 2+ hours! That's a pretty long time to wait, but I will say that their burritos are good! We got the OG Breakfast Burrito that has eggs, tater tots, Portuguese Hawaiian sausage, bacon, mixed cheese, LJ's sauce, and a side of salsa. You can choose red or green salsa. We also got a Veggie Breakfast Burrito with 3 eggs, tater tots, grilled bell peppers, onions, grilled tomatoes, mixed cheese, LJ's sauce, and salsa. I also added crispy bacon. Both were flavorful, delicious, and had a nice variety of textures. They also have some other sauces like Hot Habanero Salsa and Creamy Cilantro Crema, so I'll definitely have to try those out next time. Overall, great breakfast burritos, but order with caution if you're on a time crunch.

    Huge and delicious breakfast burritos!! I'd recommend to order online since I heard the wait can be long in person. This place is located in a Home Depot parking lot, so there's ample parking available. They do have a few tables outside their space to eat, but it's more of a grab and go, or eat in your car type of place. We ordered two OG breakfast burritos, but we definitely could've shared one. This was one of the best breakfast burritos I've had!! The tots are a nice touch and crunch, and they don't skimp on the eggs like some other places. I'd recommend to get their LJ's signature sauce on the side, and it comes with an extra salsa or sauce, and I chose the creamy cilantro crema. The two sauces paired well with the burrito and added another flavor profile. Will definitely be back!!

    I kept seeing videos of LJs all over social media so I decided to do my own investigation. Conclusion: it's worth the hype! I could say this is one of the best burritos I've ever had. I love my tots crispy/crunchy inside the burrito for texture, and I didn't have to ask for it. It's how it comes! It took about 6-8 mins for my order to process after ordering. I ordered the spicy OG, and it was so tasty! Along with the crispy tots, the cheese was gooey, and there was delicious sausage in every bite. You can order different sauces on the side for 75 cents each, you do get one for free with each order. The sauce cups are 2 oz cups and I found buying an extra sauce suffices for the entire burrito (I'm a saucy girl). Yes, the spicy og was about 18$, but it was HUGE. Although the burrito and the sauce got was definitely spicy, the flavors were still all there while the spice just slowly crept up. I loved this original location and will soon do another investigation to the orange location to see how it compares since that location is closer to me.

    og burrito & spicy og burrito

    hands down the best breakfast burrito in the socal area!from the crunch of the hash browns to the fluffy scrambled eggs and the savory sausage, i love all the flavors and textures in this. the cream sauce on the side adds a light & tangy touch that balances everything out. i would say the burritos are prettyyy big (for me at least) because i could only finish one half and saved the other half for later. my boyfriend go the spicy og burrito, and he said he didn't notice too much of a spice difference. they also have plenty of salsa options that can add more spice if you're looking for that! i will say this place tends to get busy, so be aware of the time you're going at. i tried to go the day before and there was a 30 minute wait. i came back the next day but called our order in, and it was ready within 15 minutes. either way, the burritos are delish and definitely worth the wait haha. i'm definitely coming back for those burritos and i'm looking forward to trying the smash burger too!

    Inside the OG burrito

    My husband and I were craving breakfast burritos and my husband was reading really good reviews about LJ's, so we decided to drive down and give it a try. LJ's is literally right in front of a Home Depot with a couple of tables outside. We ended up eating inside the car because it was raining today. My husband ordered 2 OG Burritos, which in hindsight we should have just ordered one and shared because these burritos were HUGE!!! I added a photo of the burrito sitting on my center console for reference. It took about 15 minutes for our order, but that was because we got there at a good time. Right after my husband ordered, 5 more people came up to order. When my husband got back to the car with our order, he told me to hold the bag and it was HEAVY! We took out the breakfast burritos, and as I said earlier, they were MASSIVE! We opened them, and they were cut in half. They had a nice cheese pull, and I love a good cheesy breakfast burrito! They provide one sauce per burrito, and charge 50 cents for each additional sauce. Honestly, I love a lot of sauce on my breakfast burritos, but I felt like one of these sauce cups was sufficient. My husband got me LJ's sauce and creamy cilantro crema, and medium green Serrano salsa for himself. I loved that everything was well mixed in the burrito so that when you took a bite, you got some of everything. I liked all three sauces (I tried some of hubby's), but my favorite was LJ's sauce. We both only finished half of our burrito, and saved the rest for later. It tasted so good, we will definitely be coming back to try other burritos!

    Yes the wait times are long, but the food is fire. Legit the best breakfast burrito south east of Downtown imo. Ive had the OG and the Queso. Cant really go wrong with any of the options unless you are not a fan of Portuguese or Italian sausage. Pro-Tip: order online through their website, the wait times vary depending on day and time. Also, I always order extra salsas. Both are fire, and delicious.

    Sorry LJ's. Long time customer, first time reviewer. This review is for both the LJ's Sammy and OG Burrito. Pricier than most but larger than the average breakfast burritos. **** WARNING**** Long wait times, so order ahead. Located outside the Home Depot in Cypress, make sure you plan ahead and make 1 trip. Order first and shop at Home Depot. You can order online but weekends are busy. Average wait time 45 minutes- 1 hour. Long wait, but definitely worth the try. Enjoy!

    I am excited to be here at Mustard's Chicago Style Eatery in Los Alamitos off of Katella Ave…read more Menu here is awesome for the dog lovers in all of us too many to choose from! Sorry didn't take photo of menu you gotta come here! I ordered the Windy City chili dog cause I love chili dogs and I got the Classic steam Chicago dog the best seller here without peppers though! Classic steam dog with the skin on is awesomely good! Love this one! Chili dog with the skin on is crunchy love that chili is good but kind of thick. Overall I love the food the dogs you gotta come try! My number was called right after I ordered my food maybe five minutes pretty fast huh! Thumbs high on Mustards Chicago Style Eatery!

    We used to go to Mustards all the time 40 years some ago! We used to take our son there when he…read morewas little, and for his 39th BDay he said he wanted to go there. Now mind you that's over the Brazilian Steak House and Wood Ranch I had offered. We hadn't been to Mustards in (shut) 15 years? I was worried the quality was still there. I was! And boy did they grow up. They've blown out the menu the inclusion plethora of item other than hot dogs! The BBQ ribs I had were more than acceptable. Not Wood Ranch or Sweet Lou's but enjoyable! My son said his Chicago Dogs were still second to none and my wife got a hamburger that she claims was 'OK', and my daughter in law got a chicken sandwich she really liked. So overall it was a success. You can't rate the service because there is none. You order at a window, pick it up when ready from said window, and clean up after yourself ... unless you're a jerk. I do recommend them still. New owners clearly (apparently Asian) but the were very sweet and friendly. Lots of smiles.
