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 is really one of the best breakfast burritos i've ever had. I came here after seeing it on social media and it did not disappoint. I got the OG Breakfast Burrito, it has potuguese sausage, bacon, egg, cheese, and tater tots. My favorite part of this is the Portuguese sausage because it adds a new flavor experience since I haven't seen a lot of other places with portuguese sausage. The tater tots also add a really nice crunchy texture. Also, the burrito is huge! I shared it with someone and we were both full by the end of it, so I really felt like I got my money's worth! 10/10 life changing breakfast burrito you need to try!!! read more
This was my first time trying this establishment. I placed my order online because I know they get super busy. I ordered around 7:30 this morning, and it was ready for pickup around 8:06. I paid about $18 for the Spicy OG breakfast burrito. The burrito overall was good, and I loved the amount of eggs and cheese they put in it. However, the sausage they use is not my favorite. It tasted like giant hot dog chunks, which honestly made me want to vomit. I'd still come back to try the veggie burrito, and I would even order the same Spicy OG again, just without the sausage. It's a decent spot, with great customer service from what I saw, and the burritos are definitely large. Salsa very good as well. read more
Breakfast burritos aren't something I normally look for in the morning. They aren't in the same category of cravings the way Cincinnati Chili, Goat Curry, or St. Louis Ribs. I like them and I'm glad when I find a good place for them, but it's not a huge breakfast priority. I have to say that LJ's has some of the breakfast burritos I've ever had. These chonky, beefy, and cheesy boys put everything together so well it's impossible not to love them from bite one to bite fifty-three. I especially love their use of tots over the traditional hash browns and the way that they fluff up their eggs that would make any adult film set proud. It's an art to how they make these beasts and you can tell they spent time perfecting this offering. The space, though small, is ample, especially for a mostly to-go spot. I didn't have trouble finding a table and not being overly stimulated by the cacophony around me. It was a relatively subdued and chill situation. The service is great and I had no doubt they were all friendly and competent at their jobs. I doubt anyone coming in here could call into question their professionalism. This leads me to believe I'll be back again, even if it's just to pick up a burrito for home. They are too tasty to be a one-and-done situation and I'm already plotting the next time I might want to come back. read more

Breakfast burritos are bomb. Large and delicious. Always a fan of tots in my breakfast burrito. My one "complaint" is how tight it is inside. The queue isn't currently wide enough for our stroller. Not deterring me from coming back tho. I suggest scrapping the dine in tables. Food is awesome read more
This is hands down the best Breakfast Burrito I've ever had! The egg was real fluffy and the tater tots were super crispy! The cheese just melts in your mouth and the whole burrito is consistent all throughout! Amazing experience! Just expect to wait 20-30min because of their popularity. The line may seem short, but it takes a while to get your food. Totally worth the wait! read more
This place is busy! If you try to call in and don't get an answer, try online or try later! Don't give up lol I picked up a handful of breakfast burritos - OG, chorizo, spicy... Positive feedback from the team! Each burrito is stuffed so you don't be left hungry :) They have a handful of sauces as well but most already come filled with their original sauce. I think they are still in the soft opening phase but definitely a great breakfast burrito spot. Located right off the 5 and 57 fwy. read more
Finally, a breakfast burrito that lives up to the hype! This place was packed on Saturday at 11:30 AM. I've never seen this parking lot so full, and I was thankful to find a parking spot. The cafe was crowded with all the tables full and many people waiting for their food inside and outside. We did wait in line to order, but it gave me enough time to decide on what to order. I ordered the OG breakfast burrito, and it was delicious! It had the perfect ratio of crispy tater tots to sausage to egg. AND it was evenly distributed throughout the entire burrito, something that other burrito spots can't seem to get right. Plus, I liked how it was seasoned and sauced, so it didn't taste dry or even need the extra dipping sauce. But I will say that the creamy cilantro crema complemented it nicely and added extra flavor. This burrito was so good, it was hard to stop eating when I got full. We had to wait a little while for our order due to the crowd, so it was nice that they had samples of their seasonal espresso drinks available for us to try while we waited. If I didn't have to wait in line again, I would have ordered a coffee. I'll be sure to add it to my meal next time. Even though there was a line/wait, I think the taste and quality of the burrito was worth it. I'll be back for sure to try the other items on the menu! read more
Salsa: Great salsa! I always tend to favor the green salsa over the red. Burritos are very loaded and stacked. Also has a bit of grease which is always what you want for a breakfast burrito. Spicy OG 4/5: The sausage was a bit on the sweeter side for me and I wish it was a but more spicy. Queso Burrito 4/5: Really packed with flavor. If you're a huge queso fan you'll love this. It got a bit tiring towards the end though. **Ordered on the app for a quick pick up! read more

I have been hearing about this place for quite some time but never got to try it out because the original location was a bit out of the way. I'm so glad they opened a second location more central to OC! It's still about 20 minutes away from where I work, but I've been craving a breakfast burrito so made the drive out during my lunch. This location is just off the I-5 freeway. Parking was no problem. When you walk into the store it's minimal and clean with seating available unlike the original location where it's take out only. The staff were super friendly and helped me right away. I ordered the OG Burrito for pickup so my order was ready by the time I got there. OG Burrito 10/10 - This was a phenomenal breakfast burrito. There was nothing I didn't like about it. The tater tots were crispy providing a nice crunch with every bite. The eggs were soft and fluffy. The cheese was melty. The portuguese sausage and bacon added a nice balance of sweetness and savoriness. I got the LJ's signature sauce on the side and it was a perfect compliment to the burrito. It can be a little heavy feeling, but worth it in my opinion. The burrito was a little more on the expensive side, but I wouldn't hesitate getting this again. The portions are also huge, I only ate half and I was full. This might be my new favorite breakfast burrito! Definitely worth the drive and I highly recommend it if you love breakfast burritos. read more
Definitely one of the best if not best breakfast burrito I have had. Crispy. Not too cheesy. Not oily. Eggs cooked perfectly. And it's huge. I shared the og burrito and it was perfect. I can't imagine eating a full one myself. Ljs sauce is good the habanero one is excellent also. Gets busy. Pro tip order online first. Unless you're in no rush. But it's worth the wait read more

These burritos were hefty! Made two meals out of it! The tortillas are handmade and I love the thinness making it easy to eat. We ordered the breakfast Sammie which was a bit salty due to the bacon but the bread was super soft. We also got the OG breakfast burrito and spicy OG breakfast burrito. Both are the same except for the jalapeños. Crispy tater tots in every bite. They use exactly 3 eggs in each burrito and had Portuguese Hawaiian sausage. Each meal came with 3oz sauce which I appreciate. It's the perfect size and you can purchase additional. We got signature, salsa and creamy cilantro. 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

Can't stop thinking about this spot! I got the OG Breakfast Burrito ($15.99) and it was soooo yummy. Everything about it from the sauce to the ingredients were great. It was very filling too, so I had leftovers. My friend also got the Brisket Pastrami Breakfast Burrito ($18.99), and she said it was delicious (especially the pastrami that was used). They even gave her a free sauce because the server said a specific sauce tasted really well with it -- such sweet service! We went on a late Friday morning and it was pretty packed! There were a few tables, but we were able to snag one. For how it works, you order at the register and they call out your name once your order is ready. The food came out fast considering it was busy. I loved the theme the restaurant too, and the inside was very cutely decorated. Would definitely come back to try more stuff and just get the OG break burrito again. :) read more

A HIDDEN GEM! Food: Delicious breakfast burritos!! I'm not over exaggerating, but there was a perfect balance of everything inside the burrito and the fact they put tater tots inside is a game changer (We ordered the OG & Pastrami Burritos). We loved the sauces too! It's hard to find a good burrito spot and this check marks everything. I think it's worth the price. As for the coffee, it was not so great, pretty mediocre. Service: Pretty quick! We came mid morning on a Sunday and it was PACKED. Ambiance: It's a SMALL cafe with limited seating. You can do an order pick up online. We ended up eating in our car. Final Thoughts: We'll be back!! read more
LJ's Lil' Cafe has done it again! Adding a location from its little shack by Home Depot to this very nice little pocket in a shopping plaza near the freeway, the city of Orange now also has some of the best breakfast burritos in the OC. This round, we got to try the OG Breakfast Burrito (5/5), the Brisket Pastrami Breakfast Burrito (3.5/5), and the Philly Cheese steak Sandwich (4/5). All of their breakfast burritos typically have eggs and tater tots, cheese, and some sort of protein or sauce. The OG gives you a healthy serving of bacon and Portuguese sausage and it is dangerously addictive. The burrito wrap is chewy and warm with a light crisp. The tater tots give you a dreamy crunchy texture, the egg is fluffy and thick throughout, and the bacon and sausage deliver bold and meaty joy into your mouth. Yum. Their pastrami burrito was also incredibly tasty, but I give it a lower score because the pastrami I had was more fat than brisket and the cutting was not even and intentional. So while all the other elements worked, the pastrami was not on its game the day of my visit. The philly cheesesteak has a healthy serving of cheese melted beautifully stop some thin cut slices of cheese steak. It's not your classic, but it tastes great and is a nice chanfe-up if you aren't in a breakfast burrito mood. The sauces are crazy good. The green salsa is so fresh and goes well with everything. The red salsa is a perfect medium, and their creamier sauces are decadent and balance out some of the heat from the salsa while still giving bold flavors. What also stands out is the service. They move very quickly, seating can be found with a shorter wait on a busy Sunday, and the food comes out with just a little patience. But the manager responded with incredible kindness and consideration after I mentioned the pastrami burrito had very little meat and more chunks of fat. While this can happen in a busy kitchen, he immediately tried to correct the issue and was so kind and attentive and checked in to make sure all was good after. 10/10 example of how to turnaround a potential miss. My only complaint is that I wish they had the amazing burgers from the other location here :). Otherwise, welcome to Orange LJ's. We are lucky to have you. I'll be back plenty. read more

I've been going to the original location in a Cypress for a couple of years and I'm so happy they opened up another location closer to Anaheim. The Breakfast Burritos are the same quality as the OG location, which is providing great quality food. I love the green salsa with my Spicy OG Burrito with no sauce and grilled onions added. The burritos are hearty, heavy, and delicious. Lol If you want a really good breakfast burrito that is a bit on the pricier side, go to LJ's Lil Cafe! read more

The service was great. The low score is because this place is over rated. First I feel like some stuff is over priced. Like the sandwiches. Why the heck is a sandwich with no meat $11 and then you charge extra to put any meat all the way up to $5. That's crazy. Then everything is made of pork with no real meat alternatives. I don't eat pork. But there was no turkey or beef ( like carne asada) only a brisket and pastrami which was $19. That's crazy pricing for just a burrito. Anyways I got the OG and that thing was just salty. I mean from the salty pork to the salty potato's so much cheese. It didn't make the burrito good. The side of tots were so hard. Almost like chip bricks. Someone definitely left them in the fryer too long. Also they charge you extra for sauce. Like really go one read more

I had heard about LJ's on instagram and when I saw their breakfast burritos, I knew I had to try it and it was soooo worth it! We ordered the burrito to share (which was more than enough) and a side of tater tot's. The burrito was so good and flavorful. What I loved is how it was full of tater tot's and sausage, not just egg. The Hawaiian sausage added so much flavor. The tater tot's were so crispy and delicious. Overall, a great breakfast burrito that I would recommend! My only thing is that we ordered a side of sour cream and it was almost $2 which is a bit much. The sauces were much cheaper (the LJ's sauce was good). read more
Hands down the BEST breakfast burrito! We came for the first time about 2 weeks ago, and we've gone back twice since. Yes it's that good. First we tried the OG, then the pastrami, then the veggie with philly ribeye added. Each burrito was so good I can't even tell you which one was our favorite. The flavor, freshness and the fact that it's not overly greasy is the best part. As well as the fact that the tater tots & eggs are cooked to perfection. Honorable mention: the sauces are to die for, I highly recommend giving each of them a try. The employees are friendly & kind, they even checked up on us while we were eating to see how we like it! You won't regret giving this place a try. read more
Super yummy breakfast burritos. The cilantro crema is my favorite!! Also, their tater tots are so crispy and fresh. I wasn't a fan of the signature sauce, it was too mayonnaise tasting for me. OG Breakfast Burrito: $15.99 Extra Side of Sauces: $0.75 read more
Food- We ordered the veggie breakfast burrito, and the OG breakfast burrito. Both burritos were absolutely delicious. Expect these burritos to be HUGE than your average burrito. I would suggest sharing one burrito if you're dining in with someone. The salsa and crema was tasty and flavorful. I have no complaints here. Some guests have complained there is no definition in the burrito, but honestly presentation doesn't really matter when it tastes good. Service- The staff were friendly and polite. Ambiance- It's more of a grab & go place, but there is seating inside. Fair warning, only one restroom is available for customers so be prepared to bring those air fresheners! read more

The BEST breakfast burrito joint gets a second location! Got the queso breakfast burrito which is my go-to and tried the pastrami this time as well. Both were moist and packed with eggs, cheese, and tots! Sauces are not needed but I love to dip with the green salsa. Definitely a must try! *limited seating so be prepared to take to-go read more
One of the best breakfast burritos, with the same quality as their Cypress spot, without the hour long wait time! I usually get the OG breakfast burrito and it doesn't disappoint - savory bacon and sausage, crunchy tots, and cheesy eggs densely wrapped in a tortilla that holds well. The LJ signature sauce is like a mild chipotle aioli that gives the burrito some creaminess. They also offer a healthcare worker discount so that's awesome. Will def be back for more! read more
wow. they were not kidding about this place having the best breakfast burritos in oc! i got the OG breakfast burrito and it was really good. i really liked that they had tater tots in it because every bite was so crispy and filling. there's a similar place that sells good breakfast burritos called the trough, but i think LJ's is definitely better. overall very tasty but be prepared to have a massive food coma after read more
ORDER og burrito (5/5) SOO GOOD!! a little expensive in my opinion though... but so yummy. the perfect balance of everything. everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked. every bite was amazing, especially with the salsa. i went with the mild salsa this time and it was so fresh. im excited to go back to try the other sauces. each burrito comes with your salsa choice :P. SERVICE the worker answered a few of my questions. AMBIANCE a few seats inside. plenty of parking. read more

I ordered online through their website for a morning pickup and it was fantastic. I heard about this new location and was very excited to try it since it is so close. I ordered the OG breakfast burrito with Portuguese sausage and salsa verde. It was so big I was able to have it for 2 meals! I love the potatoes that they use, as they are more tater tot style. The salsa verde had a kick but was great. The LJ's sauce was so flavorful! Although I got it to go the staff was very nice but take note this location is small so not much seating! But I highly recommend it! 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

Been wanting to try the breakfast burrito's at LJ's Lil' Cafe for a while now since we've been seeing it all over social media. We decided to order a burrito ahead of time through their website. Pickup was quick and easy. It was super crowded, so I couldn't tell if there was a lot of seating. We got the spicy OG breakfast burrito which came with one salsa. We wanted to try another salsa, but it was an extra charge for it. We thought that was weird since we were used to having salsas bars with no charge for the salsas. The burrito itself was good, but it wasn't mind blowingly amazing and it was on the pricier side. It is a large burrito and can be shared with two people. Overall, it was still a good burrito but we would only consider getting it every once in a while due to price. read more

I'm so glad they opened up a brick and mortar store! I usually visit their Cypress location which can be a 1 hour + wait sometimes but food is always fresh , taters always crispy, and service always friendly. This was my first time visiting this location and it was busy! Line was about out the door and a good amount of people waiting inside. Restaurant was clean and organized. I recommend ordering through their website and picking up . OG breakfast burrito is the go-to. Their burritos are massive so you can definitely share one. I recommend it with the mild or medium salsa. Their LJ special sauce is good too only if you like something mayo based and creamy. Salsa went with the burrito a lot better IMO . Overall a really good burrito , my fave so far in OC ! Definitely give them a try if you haven't been here yet. read more
This is one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had! No joke i didn't know how good a breakfast could be compared to others but this one just is. I ordered online for pickup and got the OG with a side of red salsa. Pick up was quick and the servers were pretty nice. There was some tables for seating which were all full when i went to pick up. As for the burrito - it's pretty dense and everything from the tortilla to the meats to the crispness of the tots was perfect! The salsa was also super fresh and was a perfect sidekick to the burrito. I also got a side of the creamy special sauce but I'd definitely just get the red salsa next time! This is going to be my new breakfast spot and will be back for sure! read more

Saw this when I was Coming home from the airport. Stopped by and grabbed some coffee and a burrito. Although it is on the pricey side it was pretty good. I would say get the cinnamon latte one. The service was nice and efficient. The space is a little small and there would seemed to be screaming kids but I'd say give them a try if you are looking for a good breakfast burrito! The tots inside were the show stopper, i want to come back to try their loaded tots read more
