Heard about this place through Instagram and had to give it a try! This is hands down such a must try restaurant if your craving breakfast burritos. Small restaurant with a few tables, you order first and they call your name when the food is ready. Plenty of parking spaces, this place can get crowded after a certain time we came around 7:30am so there was not a line. After we ordered food that's when folks started to come after 8am. The staff were extremely welcoming and nice. Their iced lattes have such a quite interesting refreshing taste to it. The burritos are massive sizes. Every bite had a lot of flavors, and the sauces made it even better! Drinks - Orange creamsicle latte and Lemon Blueberry lavender latte Burritos - OG Breakfast burrito, Chorizo Burrito and the Brisket Pastrami were impeccable! The tater tots were extremely crispy every bite had such a nice crunch to it. A very simple menu which is great, prices are high, but the amount of food that's packed in the burrito was worth it.
Located in a smallish shopping strip, LJs is easy to spot. There are quite a few other eateries in the row, so parking gets challenging during peak breakfast and lunch hours. I'd heard that they're known for their hearty burritos so I thought I'd go check them out. We arrived shortly after 11 and they were already busy with all but one table occupied. Orders are placed at the counter and your name is called when it's ready. Because they were busy, it took a bit for our order to come up, but it wasn't too bad considering how busy they were. From the Yelp photo gallery, their portions look generous, so my foodie friend and I decided to split everything. Today we ordered the pastrami burrito and Vern's Tots. As we suspected, the portions truly are generous enough to share {unless you're famished, then don't share :) } The burrito was hefty and packed with everything ~ eggs, cheese, pastrami, crispy tots, and the perfect amount of sauce ~ very tasty and filling. The Vern's Tots were *LOADED* with all the toppings! Very generous amounts of sweet, grilled onions, LJs house sauce, melted cheese, and bacon. Very filling and very decadent. A great little find and I'm looking forward to trying more of their burritos and sandwiches.
This place is super tiny, but it gets busy fast. The service is great. The breakfast burritos are humongous and flavorful. We got the OG, pastrami, and the chorizo. All three hit the spot with their OF sauce and cilantro sauce. The lattes were good as well. Damn near everything on the menu is amazing. This is worth it.
LJ's is a great place to stop by if you're looking for giant breakfast burritos. I got the pastrami breakfast burrito which costs about $19, but the portion is very large. It also comes with eggs, crispy tater tots, cheese, and pickled red onions to round it out. I wished it would have had a little more pastrami, but that's really my only complaints. Otherwise, the cilantro crema sauce pairs really well with it.
We do around 4 Disney trips a year, and most of the food we eat is at the parks. However, we always have our travel-home day to try breakfast / coffee spots nearby before hitting the road when we drive. On our most recent trip I was craving a breakfast burrito, so I naturally turned to Yelp to help me find a spot. LJ's immediately stood out as a highly-rated, delicious looking option that was a relatively quick drive from our hotel. Located in what looks like a strip-mall type shopping center, we had no trouble finding parking. The place was definitely poppin', as there were over a dozen people amongst multiple groups waiting for their orders both in and outside. The line was relatively short the whole time we were there, which makes it seem like they have a good system to keep things flowing on that front. There's a single bathroom in the back that was open for customers and clean. DRINKS: They have some classic choices like drip coffee, double espresso, hot or iced lattes with various flavors, as well as some signature options. The signature drinks seem to rotate and be seasonal. The current signatures for April 2026 were an Orange Creamsicle Latte, Cinnamon Toast Latte, and Matcha Latte. For milk options, they have whole, 2%, oat, and almond. They also have soda and OJ as alternatives. The coffee signatures sounded unique and flavorful, so we decided to get one of each to share. The Orange Creamsicle and the Cinnamon Toast Lattes were both quite tasty! We got them with oat milk, which I feel makes them even more creamy. The flavors from the syrups and cold foam (orange vanilla on the creamsicle), were definitely worth trying! FOOD: We of course did a bunch of research before coming in, including but not limited to reading reviews, and looking at way too many pictures of burritos. There were multiple top choices for what we wanted to try, and what made it even more difficult was that we were planning to split just one burrito. We had our eyes on the OG, Chorizo, and Brisket Pastrami most specifically. They all come with 3 eggs, tater tots, some sort of cheese, and various other ingredients. After some debate and recommendations from the girl who took our order, we decided to go with the OG. Figured for the first time trying a new spot, the OG seems like a good bet. The burrito was next level. Just like the photos promised, we opened it up slowly to reveal one of the most cheesy and glorious breakfast burritos I've possibly ever seen. SALSAS & SAUCES: There are 5 options for sauces and salsas: Mild Red Roasted Salsa, Medium Green Serrano Salsa, Hot Habanero Salsa, LJ's Signature Sauce, and Creamy Cilantro Crema. Each burrito comes with one complementary side, with each additional being $0.75. They're 3oz each, so it feels more worth it. IMO, the Mild Red was a solid, standard red salsa. The Green Serrano was mild, smooth, and light. The Habanero was HOT. I like spicy stuff, but this was a little too spicy for my liking. The Signature Sauce and Creamy Cilantro Crema were both favorites... not only of the ones at LJ's, but anywhere. Yeah, they were that good. We brought the extras back north with us and were using them on leftovers and with chips when we got back home. If you're not feeling a breakfast burrito, they also have a Brisket Pastrami Sandwich, Queso Philly Cheesesteak, Chicken Salad Sandwich, and sides of regular and loaded tots! OVERALL: Shout-out to the hardworking staff who are working hard and churning out countless burritos and drinks each day. This is officially a new favorite spot when visiting Disney / Anaheim. These burritos are THICC, hearty, cheesy, and packed with flavor. They're big enough to split, eat half and save half, or finish one and be full for the day! I'm already looking forward to our next trip down south so we can try those other burritos; next time I'm getting my own! :P
I reached out to LJs cafe for breakfast burrito catering. They was fast in responding and provided great options and answered all my questions. I ordered the 10 OG breakfast burritos for a pick up at 6:30am I got there exactly at 6:30am they were ready! There were also a few people already there for their breakfast burritos! The service was great they even remembered my special salsa request. Now on the to food. The burrito was good! Everyone really enjoyed them! The tater tots were nice and crispy. It was very filling! I do wish they had a bit more meat inside but we only got the OG. So next time I'm going to try the pastrami. Last note is their sauces and salsa are amazing! I tried every single one and I can't pick a favorite. So make sure you try them all!
I don't even like breakfast burritos but now I've changed my mind!! The OG and chorizo breakfast burrito were so so good. Stuffed with eggs, crispy tater tots, and meats that were all well balanced. I hate when you order a bfast burrito and it's too much of one thing - Lil LJs does it perfectly. And the mixed cheese just ties it all together deliciously !
Heard of LJ Lil Cafe from their Cypress location outside Home Depot. We live in Montebello, and their Cypress location is closed on Sunday, so we heard that they had a stand-alone store in Orange, and it did not disappoint! Their cinnamon toast latte was amazing, 5/5. We also grabbed two burritos: their Og breakfast burritos and their chorizo breakfast burritos. Wow, their burritos were amazing. The tater was the perfect combo for their crunch 10/10. We also grabbed their Vern tots, which were the perfect size to share. Overall, everything we tried was awesome! Their service was great; they had a lot of employees preparing food, so they were quick to get food out, even when they were busy!
I finally got to try this place now that they have a brick and mortar store. I've attempted in the past at their cypress location which is just a truck in front of Home Depot, but wait times were so long I never did. This time, I order online in advance for some breakfast burritos. It did take an hour so make sure you plan before ordering! The burritos are hefty and packed full of goodness. Tried both the original and the spicy one. Also tried their red, green, and signature sauces. All of them were good, I prefer the green for that tanginess and my partner preferred the signature for the creaminess. It lives up to the hype and I will definitely order some coffees next time as I didn't realize they had some unique flavors.
Yes yes and more yes!!! Just visiting and saw this place had some good reviews and wanted to check it out. You can tell this place gets very busy but the customer service is top notch. We got the OG breakfast burrito, spicy OG breakfast burrito, the lavender lemon latte and banana latte. Came back two days later and got another OG breakfast burrito and the breakfast sandwich. They have a variety of salsas but we opted with the cilantro lime and medium green Serrano. Their breakfast sandwich comes with the red OG salsa on the side and is very flavorful. Breakfast burritos are a pretty good size and could be shared between two people. If you aren't really into cheese just ask them to remove it. The burritos also come loaded with crispy tater tots and choice of protein The breakfast sandwich was our least favorite, it tasted pretty greasy and lacked flavor. I would recommend sticking with the Burrito's they have executed them perfectly. The coffee's were really good. Perfect amount of Lavender to lemon ratio. Never had that combo together but it works. The banana latte is creamy and not too overpowering. Maybe I'm just a caffeine addict but the caffeine content wasn't too much. As for the vibe, love me a indie, minimal concept and this place delivers. If you're in a hurry just order online and it will be ready but if not they're probably really busy so be patient. Can't wait to come back on our next visit:)
Best breakfast burrito in all of OC! Recommend ordering online ahead of time, rightfully so, they are very popular, and fast but orders take a while cause everything is made fresh per order, so order ahead. They don't skimp out on ingredients not only is it super fresh, but it's plenty, burrito is massive! I can only ever eat half, easily good for two meals.
So, as I was making a trip down to the OC, I had been searching for a while for quality breakfast burrito places, and I came across Lj's, and it looked terrific. Parking was definitely tight on the weekend, but nonetheless, we found some and made our way in. Ordering took less than 2 minutes as it wasn't super busy, and I already knew what I was getting, the og breakfast burrito, and it coming with both bacon and sausage was a treat. The employees were also very sweet and helped me throughout my whole experience there, and I was appreciative. Once I received it, I was immediately shocked at how big this burrito was because that is often rare in today's society. Once I tried it, immediately my mind was blown with how superb this burrito was, and how I liked to think it's not in my top 3! I tried both the cilantro crema and LJ's signature sauce and felt like they weren't anything special and could really eat the burrito without them, as it was good on its own. I am so happy we made the drive; it was definitely worth the stop.
I LOVE THEIR BREKKIE BURRITOS! And randomly, I like their matcha here too haha. I was not expecting to like it sm c: !! Def try the OG first and then work your way down through the menu. Service is always good and they try to keep things moving. Don't be afraid to ask questions or for their recommendations. The cafe can get really busy on the weekends so I suggest ordering online. It is a bit expensive ($16-$20) but it's so filling...

This breakfast burrito was sooo incredible. Parking was one of the worst experiences though because it's a tiny lot and soo many people are coming in looking for parking too. The line was really long but the wait wasn't too bad! My friends and I had to stand around to grab a table. There isn't much seating so I definitely wouldn't relay on eating there since you might need to carryout. It's super busy and lively with people waiting for their food. I got the spicy OG burrito. It was freaking huge and lasted me 3 meals! I really loved how crunchy the tater tots were despite being wrapped in the burrito. It was cut in half and the cheese pull was insane. This burrito also came with jalapenos and spicy sausage so it had a nice kick to it and the flavors all complemented eachother very well. My friends and I tried multiple sauces: the green salsa, red salsa, and LJ's signature sauce! Neither one of the sauces were that spicy but both were very flavorful. The LJ's signature sauce tasted exactly like the In-N-Out sauce! It was good but I definitely prefer salsa with my burritos. I also tried the snickerdoodle latte which was a seasonal drink. It was really smooth, sweet, and had a cinnamon-y hint to it. I loved it! I'd definitely revisit this place, but probably would try and avoid weekends to not deal with the crowd! read more
I tried LJ's for the first time and loved the spicy OG burrito. My favorite part is that the tater tots in the burrito are extra crispy. The burrito is large and may be big enough to split with a friend. I also enjoyed the LJ special sauce on the side. The cafe is clean and service was smooth. I went on a Sunday morning and there was a consistent line. read more

We came around 9:30 AM on a Sunday and didn't have much of a line to wait but I will say it takes about 10 or so minutes for your food. Seating was inside but they don't have many so I do recommend just picking up and going somewhere else to eat. We ordered the OG breakfast burrito, of course, for our first time and I will say this has to be the best breakfast burrito I've ever had (and I also typically don't like breakfast burrito). The hashbrown and bacon inside were so crisped and everything was well filled! I also had it with the creamy cilantro sauce which had a good balance to the savoriness. This place definitely opened the world of breakfast burritos to me and I would love to come back and try their other items! read more
THIS IS SO GOOD OH MY GOD. The staff is so nice and gave us extra sauces for free :,). The burritos r so humongous and filling so finishing a whole one was def not the move but they were so good I couldn't stop. The hashbrowns = crispy. Tortilla = crispy & chewy. Flavors = bomb asf. 100/10 would come back. Rating Veggie burrito: 5/5 read more
I was looking for a great breakfast burrito and found this on Yelp. It's in a strip center, plenty of parking. There was steady stream of people coming in. I was greeted when I entered, she recommended the OG burrito with the crema cilantro sauce. It was less than a few minutes wait, the burrito was cooked to order. The burrito is huge. It was steaming hot and chalk filled with protein and crispy tater tots. It was very flavorful. The place was very clean, bathroom was clean too. There is plenty of seating. I arrived around 11. I highly recommend and will return to try a few of the other menu items. read more
Parking here is hard, especially if you go during lunchtime. You order first and then find a seat. Inside is pretty small with limited seatings. I got the Spicy OG Breakfast Burrito, and you get to choose a sauce. The Spicy OG Burrito was super good, but also a bit too spicy for me. If you want non-spicy, I would recommend their OG Breakfast Burrito (excludes all the spiciness). They are already cut in half for you, so you can easily share with others. It is pretty big and worth trying 'cause it's so good. Recommendation(s): - OG Breakfast Burrito - Spicy OG Breakfast Burrito Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Hard to find parking if it's busy - Restroom available - Finding a seat inside is also hard due to the limited seating read more
Gave LJ's Lil' Cafe a try during their soft opening and they didn't disappoint. Ordered the breakfast burrito over the phone and my order was ready for pick up upon my arrival. Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of the burrito but it was enough for brunch and dinner. read more
One thing about me, I love breakfast burritos. I saw Lj's Lil' Cafe on TikTok and had to give it a try. I assume many others saw it too cause once I got there the store was packed. I got the OG breakfast burritos, and just as it looks it was hot and delicious. It was definitely filling as I saved the other half to eat for later. As for their sauce, I recommend the creamy cilantro and their signature sauce. read more

The burritos here are AMAZZZZZINGGGGGGG! They're huge and really filling! They're very heavy but it hits the spot! The burrito was big enough to be eaten as leftovers(which reheats really well!!). The tater tots were super crispy and everything was really flavorful. The interior was spacious but had limited seating. We waited about 20 mins for our burritos but I would definitely recommend ordering ahead. read more

I've passed this place many times in the afternoon but wasn't open due to them closing at 2pm. FINALLY made it a day I could try them out! I got the Pastrami breakfast burrito paired with their house made Salsa Roja and it did not disappoint! It was on point and their salsa is fired roasted to perfection! You can taste the bits of pastrami was got a little char on the grill. Service was fast and overall a nice place to stop in! The store was alittle cold but I love that but some people love the heat so just know you might need a sweater if enjoying in. My husband got the Chorizo breakfast burrito and he like it! Only able to eat half but he was excited because he will have a snack for later! Overall their breakfast burrito are some of the best I've tried in the OC! Highly recommend you try and make sure you get here before 2pm daily! *** I highly suggest that you have at least 2 cups of salsa per burrito*** read more
LJ's Lil' Cafe in Orange absolutely delivered. I tried the Spicy OG Breakfast Burrito, and wow--this one is easily top 3 breakfast burritos I've ever had. Loaded with 3 eggs, crispy tater tots, hot Italian sausage, and grilled jalapeños, then I finished it with both cilantro crema and habanero crema--every bite hit. The habanero crema brings a nice, spicy kick without overpowering anything. Perfect balance of heat, flavor, and texture. The tots stayed crispy, the sausage brought real flavor (not greasy), and the cremas tied everything together beautifully. Big, satisfying, and genuinely delicious. read more
What a giant portion of a burrito!! Best to split it with two people or at least only eat half at a time. The tortilla is filled to the brim with 3 eggs, hot sausage, jalapeño, cheese, and tator tots. Also, the accompanying sauce was very delicious. Definitely try the habanero ones if you like spicy food. If you're like me and used to eating smaller portions or lighter fare, be ready to not have any strenuous activities planned afterwards HAHA! I think I was ready to slumber and hibernate after eating just 1/4 of it. Very tasty but very heavy food. The order was placed online and it was ready upon arrival. Parking is free and plentiful right in front of the store. The inside is adorned with neon decors. I opted to eat at home because of too much coming and going happening. I may not return frequently but wouldn't hesitate recommending to others if they want breakfast burritos. read more

This place lived up to its hype. Came here after seeing a YouTube review and I have to say, this place did not disappoint. We ordered the "OG Burrito" with tater tots on the side and it was delicious! Tater tots was extra crispy without us even having to ask. As for the burrito, it did not disappoint! So much flavor and big enough to share for husband and I. The cheese pull was awesome on the burrito too, oh my gosh! They definitely did not skimp on the ingredients, so you definitely pay for what you get. Customer service was on point and the had the perfect amount of table space for people to eat and go. We will definitely be back to try other breakfast items from this restaurant. Thank you LJ staff for the hospitality and delicious breakfast. read more

I heard the burritos at LJ's were good so my friend and I had to try one. We ordered the pastrami burritos. It was good. Big enough for us to share but it wasn't "over the top". They were very busy so the service was a little slow read more
Let's make one thing clear, this place lives up to the hype. LJ's is in the same plaza as Lee's and a few other quick serve restaurants so parking can get a little dicey during the lunch rush, but don't give up hope, this place is worth any wait. The interior is brand new with plenty of standing space and a few booths/tables to enjoy your meal if you don't wanna wait to enjoy your meal (guilty). Service is great, the staff is all so friendly and they work quickly to get everyone their orders as fast as possible. You can also order ahead on their website, which is a very convenient offering (it can get busy). For food and drink, I got the Spicy OG sub bacon, and a peppermint latte. The burrito was fantastic, there was a perfect ratio of ingredients, and everything was mixed together so each bite was perfect. This burrito had everything I could ask for, 10/10 no notes. They also have a great selection of salsas, my favorites being the Red Roasted Salsa, Green Serrano Salsa, and Cilantro Crema. The Peppermint Latte was great too, I think it's a seasonal drink so get it while you can. This place is the best breakfast burrito spot in OC, and it's not even close. Make the trip to one of their locations, you won't be disappointed! read more
If you're here from tiktok and trying to determine if it's worth the hype, it truly is!! We ordered their OG breakfast burrito and it was beautifully crafted. The best part is how crunchy the hash browns are. Their sauces complement their burrito so well and they have so many choices to choose from. I like to get several sauces and put them in my burrito. My favorites are the red, green and habanero sauces. However, if you're not a sauce person like my bf, it's perfect on its own as well. I suggest ordering on the phone before hand as it can get pretty crowded. We like to order on our way there and it's ready by the time we get there instead of having to wait in line. I don't remember any sitting inside but your burrito is just as good if you take it to go. It doesn't get soggy. It's just as good the next day if you have leftovers. Also, theres several people eating it in their cars or outside. If you're debating where to give it a try, this one is a must. read more

Massive breakfast burritos that probably need to be shared. I had the pastrami, which was a good burrito but costs around $19. It is good and perhaps taste wise a little more premium than most, however, I still prefer my Lucky Boy massive breakfast burrito for $12 in Pasadena. Perhaps I am spoiled by it and this is quite a distance from Pasadena. Service was polite and prompt and tables were clean. Ambiance was standard fast casual, nothing wrong with it, nothing special. read more

I got the chorizo breakfast burrito and it was jam packed with amazing flavors. It is definitely a favorite of mine, along with their OG burrito. I definitely recommend as they are a great restaurant that i've been supporting since their first location outside a home depot! service was quick and top notch, and patient while i asked questions about the different various options to choose from. Seating is kind of small and limited but offer a small standing room as well which is nice, but can definitely feel packed during peak hours. read more
Be prepared to wait in a line because this spot just opened in a super central OC location this year, but honestly the wait is worth it. The service is great! They don't rush you at all and give you tons of info at the front, which I really appreciated. I would say that this is more of s grab and go breakfast because seating is pretty limited with how many customers come in. I ordered the OG, and the burrito comes exactly as advertised. The cheese pull and everything that's packed in the burrito will send you into a food coma. I'm not gonna lie, I couldn't even finish the burrito because it was so packed and just a lot, but perfect for anyone who is looking for a hefty meal! It's super satisfying and definitely one of those meals you need to walk off afterwards or just head straight home and fall into a very deserved nap. Overall, great service and pretty worth the hype! read more
Definitely one of my top three favorite breakfast burritos in OC and glad they got a bigger spot closer to me. The place filled up real quick and the wait wasn't too long. I immediately ordered the OG burrito and it only took 7-10 min to wait for my name to be called. The restaurant was full with no table available and wanted to eat my burrito fresh so pro tip. Support one of the other establishments next to them and buy something there too and, walla more tables, albeit not in the restaurant but there was so space because it's too good lol. I recommend getting there a little early if you want to score a table or take your chance getting lucky when someone leaves. The OG burrito is as advertised and packed with flavor. The chorizo they use has a nice kick that blending nicely with the creamy cilantro salsa. They had 5 different ones to choose from and all seemed delicious. The cheese is real and everything melts together in one big bite of heaven. It's a legit breakfast burrito. I liked the kick and later realized you can order it spicy too. So many great things on the menu to choose from but I could only eat half my burrito as it's very large. Enough to share unless you're super hungry. Great vibe there and the line goes pretty quick. Guy who took my order was very cool and explained things nicely. Can't wait to go back and try again. I know this place will only get busier!!! Check it out for sure. read more
The guava matcha with guava cold foam was one of the best matchas ive ever had. Amazing flavor, quality matcha, not watered down. This was one of their specialty drinks so I would love to see what they change to that menu. The og burrito came with a free salsa of choice. This burrito is easily shareable and so so good. Cheesy, packed, and tasty. This place had a full house it was hard to get a seat in there! read more

Hands down the best breakfast burrito I've ever had!! I love the added kick in the spicy OG and with the habanero salsa, this delivers exactly the level of spice I need. This burrito is definitely pretty heavy though so consider sharing or taking half home. The employees are super friendly and nice too. Can't wait to come back! read more

Honestly blown away. As an amateur breakfast burrito connoisseur myself, I heard big praise about this spot. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The tots were crispy, which is difficult to do in a breakfast burrito. Seasoned well. The nice man at the register gave me a free cilantro crema since I told him it was my first time trying it. Will definitely be back here. Worth the drive, trust me. Top 3 bkfst burrito in socal. read more

My friend and I visited on a Saturday morning and it was pretty crowded. For the amount of people in there, there definitely wasn't enough seats to go around but it seems like most people were just grab n go. We ordered the pumpkin cheesecake latte and the wait was over fifteen minutes. The foam was sooo flame though. The latte itself was a bit sweeter than I would've liked, and I think I would request less syrup next time. Would love to try their burritos next time! read more
The fact that this is so close to where Im working is SO dangerous! We tried this place around 12pm on a Saturday and there was a crowd of people out the door. It was also really difficult to find parking, people were even just parked in non parking spots and putting their hazards on :/ Nonetheless upon ordering we were told it would take 30-40 minutes for the food since it was busy. However we got our food in around 25! We tried out their holiday peppermint latte and it was so good! A good amount of peppermint flavor to it without it being too minty- i love the real peppermint chunks. We tried the chorizo and OG burrito and let me just say, it is the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. The tortilla is so thin and has a nice chew. The eggs were so fluffy, and there a hefty amount of meat to them. Omg and the hashbrowns were so crispy and added a nice crunch! Don't get me started on their cilantro crema sauce! It pairs so perfectly with the burrito!! I will say the burrito was really filling, I personally would be content sharing one burrito next time! Or if your down for leftovers, it heats up well! read more

Ever since I tried the original LJ's location in Cypress, I've been wanting to go back. When I saw that this was opening up right by my work which is on the way home, I was hyped. It was under construction for quite a while but glad they opened up before the year ended! Here's what I've tried: **Spicy OG Breakfast Burrito: Delicious! I sub Oaxaca cheese instead and it's definitely a game changer! I'm generally not a fan of mayo based sauces but theie signature sauce is off-the-charts delicious! I've tried their green serrano salsa and hot habanero salsa but they're not as good. The breakfast burrito itself has a strong cheese-pull game and the flavor overall is spectacular! A must try! (5/5) **Queso Tots: The tots were on the crispier side, which was perfect. However, I wasn't a fan of the queso itself and there wasn't much of it which was a bummer. I had this early on during its soft opening phase so maybe I'll get it again in the future. (3/5) **Cinnamon Bun Latte: Never thought I'd get a seasonal latte from a breakfast burrito spot but I did. The espresso portion was surprisingly strong with a great balance. I liked the cream cheese foam but it was a little too overpowering. I'm generally not a fan of sweet lattes but even with all the flavors going on, it wasn't that bad in the sweet department. (4/5) I highly recommend ordering online. The first time I ordered was on a weekend morning right after work and there were about 30 burritos ready to get picked up upon my arrival. My second time was a little later around 9 AM and they were busy both with dining and takeout orders. The staff here is very pleasant and there's plenty of parking. I recommend LJ's for your breakfast burrito needs. read more
I got the og breakfast burrito, regular tots, with LJ's signature sauce and creamy crema. The food was tasty but it would've been better serve fresh and hot. Our order was placed under the wrong name and by the time we realized we received our order almost an hour later. We didn't mind the wait too much because it was very busy in the store. I saw the staff working quick to deliver orders. Some were very nice and attentive checking up on costumers that dined inside. There's not that many tables to sit at inside considering that the store is very tiny. There's a long table that you can stand and eat at however it awkwardly blocks the ordering line. The parking lot is small and very hard to find parking when busy. Overall I would recommend! I just wish our first experience could've been better. You're better off ordering online to avoid the long wait and the terrible parking! read more

I was craving a good breakfast burrito, and had heard lots about this shop. The shop is located in a plaza with other food eateries. So, parking can get kind of busy. Luckily, I came on a weekday, and was able to find parking. The service was friendly. However, I noticed that there doesn't seem to be a lot of tables inside. I assume that it gets crowded on the weekends. Also since they're so busy, they don't wipe down the tables right away! My friend and I decided to split the og spicy burrito. The salsa we got was the mild roasted red sauce. The burrito was hearty! I felt like I could have eaten half of the half of the burrito. The burrito was tasty, but it seemed like there were a lot of tater tots inside the burrito. I would have preferred more meat. The burrito had a nice spice, but I wished it was a bit spicier. The salsa helped a lot with the burrito, since I was getting a bit sick of it. Overall, this place is not bad, if you're craving a breakfast burrito. I suggest ordering online though, since the shop seems to get busy. I do think the price is a bit expensive for the burrito, considering there were a lot of tater tots in the burrito. read more
I recommend ordering online before heading over. The pick up time is usually 30-40 minutes depending how busy they are. I get the OG breakfast burrito and the creamy cilantro creama sauce. The burrito is made fresh to order so it is still hot when I pick it up. I also tried the queso tater tots and it was pretty good too. It is one of the best breakfast burritos I had in OC. It is on the greasy side, so half of one burrito is already filling to me. Definitely recommend the burrito here! read more

Finally got to try LJ's and it did not disappoint!! A friend of mine lives near this location so I decided to put in a scheduled online order to pick up and bring to her house. My pick up time was 10:50am and my food was ready to a go a few minutes after I arrived. This place was pretty packed at this time on a Sunday so be prepared to wait or make an online order for quicker service. There's a few tables inside, but not a lot of seating so it could be hard to get a table during a busy time. They packed our food nicely and everything was delicious! I ordered the spicy og burrito and my friends ordered the pastrami sandwich and queso Philly cheesesteak. They were both very happy with their choices. We also shared a side of the queso tots, so good! I want to come back and try their coffee and other loaded tots options. The burrito was huge, but the tots inside were crispy and it wasn't too spicy. I also ate it with the green salsa. I definitely recommend LJ's! read more

THE HYPE IS REAL! I will drive of my way for LJ's breakfast burrito, it's that good. We were on a breakfast burrito mission to find the best and I think LJ's is it! The mixture of their sausage, blend of cheese, fresh tortilla, hash brown and top with their habenero salsa. Let me tell you something! It's a small shop you order at the counter, expect a wait or a line. You can also order online but you need to tell them you've arrived for them to start the order. read more

LJ's has the best breakfast burrito in OC for sure. Their service is fast and friendly. Parking is a bit rough but totally worth it. The place gets crazy busy but again, definitely worth the wait. My second time around, we ordered a couple of different burritos than the first time and they were just as great. I'd say you can't go wrong with any of them. They are a bit pricey but it'll fill you up for the entire day. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a size-able meal. read more

New favorite breakfast burrito in OC! Everything about this was great - from the tortilla, to the sausage, and the tater tots. I also got the green salsa & creamy cilantro sauce on the side, which added a nice touch. The place is pretty small, with only a few tables. It's also in a smaller plaza. I went on a Monday morning, so parking wasn't an issue, but I could see it getting packed on the weekend. I also ordered online in case there was a line, but my food was ready in 10mins. I would probably stick to ordering online if you're going on a busier day! read more
It was a rainy morning and my siblings and I were craving a breakfast burrito! My brother suggested trying LJ's Lil' Cafe for their famous "Home Depot" burrito! I would have to say I wasn't disappointed with my good it was! I got there and they have a huge line of people waiting. Despite that, the staff worked hard and fast to get everyone through the line. I order the #1 The OG Breakfast Burrito with Cilantro Creama sauce and the habanero sauce and pickle onion on the side! The burrito was HUGE! Def has a weight to egg! Your classic breakfast burrito with fluffy eggs, tots, , bacon, sausage, and cheese! I see why people love their burrito so much! I also try their Pumpkin Cheesecake latte. It was a good latte, but I wish the pumpkin cheesecake flavor is stronger. I was expecting the drink to taste like pumpkin cheesecake but left a bit disappointed. It was good coffee regardless! The cafe is a bit small with a few tables along the side. Love the LJ's Lil' Cafe neon sign at the order area! I def would come back whenever I crave breakfast burrito! read more
