Greta spot for breakfast burritos. I would recommend ordering ahead online. It was busy inside but I was able to pick up my online order right on time. The man helping pass out orders was friendly. There's a parking lot for the shopping plaza. The burritos are large and well filled. The portion of salsa is generous. read more

I got the OG breakfast burrito and it was good, BUT it aggravated/triggered acid reflux BAD. I will still come back and get it because it was good. My favorite sauce is the signature sauce and cilantro crema and it pairs perfectly with the burrito. read more

Veggie breakfast burrito was good, but not great. There was a little too much tatter tots that it gave it an oil taste and there was not enough eggs. The green avocado salsa was spicy and had a good flavor. My order was a to go order so I did appreciate that they labeled each burrito and they cut it in half, which made the huge burrito easy to share. I will give them another try, but first impression did not live up to the hype of the other yelp reviews. read more

LJ's Lil' Cafe - Veggie burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orange, California

solid breakfast burrito that instantly went on my top 3 list after one visit. mostly knocking one star because it's $3 to add avocado and while i love having avocado in my breakfast burritos to add a little more dimension, i felt like that made the burrito way overpriced. but i loved all the ingredients, especially the crispy potatoes and the well balanced tortilla. i loved the mild salsa and while the side of salsa is a decent size, i'd probably add an extra salsa in the future because one pack was only enough to cover half my burrito. will def be stopping by here whenever i'm in the area! read more

For all those veggie-folk (or non-meat eaters), this veggie burrito was LEGIT!! First off I noticed its massive size... and thought... woah! I'm not sure I can take this down... And, despite how delicious it was I could not finish it (yay, leftovers!). A fresh flour tortilla embraced 3 scrambled eggs, cheese, onions, tomatoes and tater tots)... it was accompanied by a large side of salsa of your choice (I opted for medium green - yum!)... super appreciative of the generous salsa portion -- don't you hate it when you're given a teensy bit and then you have to ration it out? Well that's not the case here... LJ's knows customers like their salsa Service was fast & kind Location: easily accessible as it's right off Chapman from 5 freeway (near Lees sandwiches). Price: a bit more than your typical breakfast burrito but it's perfection and its size makes it worth it - heck, I have breakfast saved for tomorrow (Runs you $15.25) PS. Also tried the iced vanilla oat milk latte. The zarf (aka coffee sleeve) had adorable art hand drawn on it. The drink was very good Go check it out... def worth a stop read more

Was in the area looking for something to eat for breakfast and found this place! They're in their soft opening phase, but everything was so smooth from the customer service to the food! We got the Cheesesteak sandwich and the OG breakfast burrito. Cheesesteak: 4/5 Presentation is nice, I do wish the cheese sauce was more integrated w the meat or the bread instead of on top. The bread was nice and fluffy. The meat is a little dry and tougher without that cheese sauce. Og burrito: 5/5 When I cut into it I knew it was special! I love when the tots are crispy and the eggs fluffy. Place is a little on the pricier side but you get hearty portions and it won't disappoint! read more

I ordered an OG breakfast burrito with habanero sauce, I also added an additional cilantro sauce for 75 cents and the total was over $18. The burrito itself was good. It was a bit overloaded with tater tots and not enough sausage (or meat), which probably increases their profit margins. The habanero sauce was pretty good, not a lot of kick if you're truly into spice but it was my favorite between the two. The cilantro creme was thick and also flavorful. The sauces were probably the star of the show. Overall, food was good although not spectacular... but also little steep for a being a breakfast burrito. read more

Well-deserved hype surrounding this spot. I ordered the spicy og and it was so delicious. Not too greasy. The LJ sauce was a perfect touch to the burrito. I would agree with the other review-- the cashier had an attitude, read more

Truly one of the best but HEAVIEST breakfast burritos ive ever had. Everything is cooked so well and the sauces are delish. DO NOT EAT THIS if you have a productive day ahead of you. I only ate a quarter of this burrito and then knocked out hard, even tho i had to study for finals that day read more

LJ's Lil' Cafe - OG Breakfast Burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orange, California

I tried the OG burrito and cinnamon toast latte. It was my first time here and definitely not my last. I arrived right when they opened on a Sunday morning a 6:30am. I was instantly greeted by a welcoming gentleman. I didn't get his name but service was A++. You can tell he's a morning person. Great way to start my day. Food was hand delivered to my table in less than 10 minutes. Burrito and drink tasted amazing. Arguably the best burrito I've had. I love a good burrito and I'm glad I found this spot. Service was fast and friendly, prices are affordable and portions are so large you can share. Just amazing. read more

I found this place on TikTok and decided to stop by to check it out. The first thing I noticed was how crowded it was and how limited the parking was. I ordered their OG breakfast burrito and a side of tater tots. They offered a nice variety of sauces, so I got the mild roasted red salsa and LJ's signature sauce, and they also gave me the medium green serrano sauce to try. Out of all three, I enjoyed the mild roasted red salsa and the green serrano the most. The burrito itself was large and filling. I split it with my boyfriend, and even after just half, I was already full. It was a bit on the oily side, but the fresh red salsa balanced that out nicely. The sauces also paired well with the tater tots. LJ's signature sauce tasted like a chipotle aioli very creamy and rich. Overall, the service was great, and the wait time wasn't bad, especially considering they were handling a lot of online orders. I'd definitely come back to try more items! read more

One of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had! I had the OG burrito with the green Serrano salsa. Burrito by itself was fire and the salsa had great taste and just the right amount of heat. Not too hot but you definitely feel it. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend. Friendly staff and as long as the line is short, wait time is 10 minutes or less. read more

The vibes in there are super cute. Looks like a lowkey little shop from the outside but when you walk in it's super busy. There are a few places to sit and eat but it seems to be more of an order and go shop. I got the OG Breakfast Burrito with no sausage. Took it home and it was still super hot and gooey. I ate half and saved the other half for left overs because they are HUGE. The reason I gave it 4 of 5 stars is because it was full of tater tots and barely any egg. Seems like the egg was all in the middle of the burrito where it was cut. But towards the end was just potato and cheese :/ so I don't know if I can ask for more egg since I didn't want sausage? But that was the only downside. I'd definitely go back & ask for more eggs. read more

Me and a friend ate an OG breakfast burrito in the morning and we both got stomach pains and diarrhea afterwards. First time here, never coming back. read more

3.5 stars. Had their OG burrito and it's good. Had a little too much tater tots for me but still good. Really crunchy on the inside which I wasn't expecting so that's a good surprise. It's all to-go though they have tables you can sit down at, but they still pack and give you all the food to go. I didn't like their special sauce. It's honestly terrible with the burrito and your more traditional hot sauce and/or salsa goes better with the burrito. read more

I am a breakfast burrito SLOOT and I've heard about LJ's Lil' Cafe off social media but didn't get a chance to try it until recently - one of the biggest regrets of MY LIFE (not being dramatic at all). First of all, the owners are SO passionate about their craft that you can feel in from the ordering process to getting to food to the first and last bite... this is what true passion tastes like! The decor is so instagram worthy but what is more IG worthy is THE BURRITO. LJ's is very busy and has crazy hype for good reason. Parking can be challenging so just come a little early! I've long thought that Glee's had the best breakfast burrito but this might have just topped it! The tots are perfectly crispy, you cannot miss with any of their sauces, and everything is perfectly seasoned and cooked. I'm stoked that this place is on the way to Disneyland because it just gives me more incentive to have an insane burrito to start my day! read more

I decided to stop by this place because I kept seeing it on social media and also since I live close by I always see it when I pass Chapman to get to the 5 freeway. I was debating between the breakfast sandwich and the burrito, but I decided to get the burrito because so many reviews have been talking about the burrito. I ordered online and I stop by in the restaurant and waited by the counter. The online system told me to check in with the friend, but I decided to just wait on the side and see how the kitchen ran. What was nice was that once my order was ready I got a text message telling me to check in with the front. I observed a lot of people eating inside but it wasn't too crowded to make me feel uncomfortable. Everything is very clean and it's very comfortable to either eat by yourself or even eat with maybe one friend. Everyone who placed an order in person seem like they knew what they all wanted. There was one person managing the cashier and orders and another person handling the drinks. The espresso machine and other equipment are pretty legit since I saw a separate machine to grind the beans and I even saw legit matcha set. Even though I didn't see much on the menu. Maybe I should have asked since I saw a bunch of seasonal drinks on the menu. After I got my food, I took it home and I wanted to take a look at what this burrito was. They pre sliced it for me so pretty much when I open the burrito it was oozing cheese and very moist and not dry. I even took a picture to show you all how fresh it was. In terms of the tots, they're your standard tater tots you can order wherever but typically I guess they're put in the burrito. I don't know how they would fit that order of tater tots in the burrito but it was nice having it on the side so it doesn't get soggy. I did enjoy how there was different types of meat and the burrito and I did have a choice of a salsa. I chose the cilantro crema but I wish I tried the other ones. Maybe next time I should order the difference salsas on the side since you only got one with an order. I think for me personally I would only get this if I'm in the mood definitely even eating half of it was more than enough for a full meal portion for me. I think this place is worth stopping by if you're in the area or really are into breakfast burritos. I'm glad I got to try it out and I am pleasantly surprised even though I'm not a burrito person. read more

The burritos here are really good and definitely worth the price. The OG burrito has really nice crispy has browns and surprisingly the burrito isn't too greasy. The burritos are also very big and definitely justify the price. The cilantro sauce and the mayo based sauce were both really good and comes down to a preference thing. Parking here is really bad and wait times for your food can take a while. Definitely recommend ordering ahead of time with a pickup time pre-picked. Will be back! read more

The parking is small but there were spots available. A few hazards around with broken concrete and potholes so potential kid danger but easily fixable. The inside was small but open. Tight with how many were inside which means the food will be good as patrons lined up eager. The food choices were a little difficult to understand but that could be my problem, so no points take from them. Food was good! Not great. I can see the appeal of the sauces as I enjoyed them all but they quickly became overwhelming. The cheese pull was amazing. The tater tots inside were crunchy adding texture that made the burrito very enjoyable. I wasn't particularly fond of the sausage but I can see many enjoying this. They did forget my bacon on one burrito which was annoying after paying extra for it. The caffe latte drink choices were amazing. Would come back just for the drinks. The staff is very nice and helpful. However, not all seemed up to speed with how to make an order. Had difficulty placing the order and making my choices as the end result ended up in a key missing ingredient. Overall I would definitely encourage you to try this as I think many would enjoy it. My preference is a bit too salty and not enough freshness. I don't know if I would pay this price again. I should note, I only tried breakfast here... read more

The food is great. No doubt about it. For me I doubt I'll return. The price is just too expensive and I don't see the value of an almost $20 breakfast burrito, and imo the burritos are too big. They should offer a smaller burrito for half the cost. But again, the food is delicious and if you have someone to share it with or you're just someone with a big appetite it just may be perfect for you. I tried the Spicy OG and requested habanero sauce on the side the sauce did not disappoint. I'm curious about other burritos but the price of admission keeps me away. The service was fine. The ambiance is get your burrito and get out. Ya know avg. read more

Best breakfast burrito moniker gets thrown around far too frequently. Of course it's subjective but these guys are solidly in my top 3 in CA, yes even including San Diego. Congrats on the new space, you guys have come a long ways since selling in front of Home Depot, and I'm so happy for your success. Everyone needs to go ASAP.

We stopped by LJ's in Orange for the first time. Their burritos are so good, but their pastrami sandwich is amazing. Culinary at its best. Pastrami is not cold cut in plastic wrap. It is the real deal. Wood smoked brisket, smell like you are a camp fire. I am guessing the wood is Oak. Generous portion of meats, and all the right trimmings that go with it. Very reasonable price too. There were so many people in line, I got flustered and even forgot to check in on Yelp. Luckily I snapped some photos before we devoured it all. Addicted to LJ's. read more

I would rate LJ's higher if I could! I saw their video on YouTube and had to check it out, so glad we did. The breakfast burritos are an easy 11/10, and the salsas are equally outstanding. It's rare to find a spot that nails both the burritos and the salsas this well. You can genuinely taste the love and attention to detail in every bite. We met Lydia and she was very friendly and had great recommendations as to what to pair with what. Great ambiance as well. My wife and I have a new favorite breakfast spot! read more

My boyfriend and I can't stop coming here. Set your alarms though because the weekends are busy. I always mobile order because the wait is long.

Came for the breakfast burritos. Had they been better, the very long line and lack of parking would have been worth it but they were not worth it. Another overhyped Yelp place.
