The hype is real! This place makes some of the best breakfast burritos and sandwiches you will ever eat. No wonder they are always in the top ranks for best breakfast burrito in O.C. The burritos have lots of crispy hash browns, perfect over medium eggs with some oozy yolk, cheese, and plenty of meat all wrapped up in a giant tortilla. My son got a pastrami and egg sandwich on our last visit. Wow! I'm gonna get me one of those next time. It was piled high with pastrami, egg, and cheese. Yum. Just a few things they could fix: Online ordering is non-existent. If you click the online order button on the website, you go to some weird site that looks sketchy. It would be nice if they got with the times. Phone orders are almost impossible unless you are super lucky. The phone is always busy. Testament to the quality of the food, but they need more lines. Salsa is $1 extra. Just ask if people want it. read more

Nate's Korner has literally been around the corner for my boyfriend and I since we moved in the area. It's been one of those go-to spots for us for some bomb breakfast burritos. My goodness.. I'm not sure what sauce they put in them, but it just melts so beautifully in your mouth. The cheese. The crunchy potato things. The yumminess. We usually get their Grilled Steak Breakfast Burrito. I'm used to getting my burritos at local hole-in-the-wall Mexican spots, but this one is a breakfast burrito like no other as it has an American twist to it. One of the best parts is that the size is almost as big as my forearm, so I can easily share it with my boyfriend. One burrito to feed two people is such a great deal. The only con for me is that it takes a while for you to get your food because there's normally a long wait. Pre-COVID, there's seating inside as well as some minimal outdoor seating. I'd recommend just calling in advance for your order and just grabbing it to-go. Huge plus that they also take Apple Pay! Highly recommend if you're looking to explore a bit from your traditional breakfast burrito and are interested in some crunchy, cheesy goodness in your mouth. read more

Best deli spot in town. Food and service is incredible. Definitely make sure you get the chipotle hot sauce on the side. If Hugo is making your sandwich is even better!!! Love this place read more

Best breakfast burrito so far that I've tried in the OC! Service is quick. Don't come here looking for a nice restaurant. It's strictly to chow down and on the go. Have tried quite a few different burritos. Must get a side of chipotle sauce. That is a must! Haven't tried their hoagies but they look good. read more

I split the Nate's Favorite burrito. When we ordered, we made sure to confirm that it was vegetarian. The cashier indeed said that there is no meat in it and that it is vegetarian. Although I'm not vegetarian, my friend is. He was only like two bites into his burrito before he found meat in it. He showed his half to the cashier and she didn't apologize for it. She just took it to the back and said she would make a new one. She then even went over to my table where I sat to take my half of the burrito too. I can't just keep it? I'm okay if there's a bit of meat in it because I'm not vegetarian. It would be nice if they would've just let me keep my half at least for their mistake. She took it to the back to throw out. Waste of food, and rude service. I wouldn't come back here again. read more

Burritos are amazing! BUT, as I reached for the fries, the bag ripped in half due to excessive oil leakage and the fries themselves don't even look edible. I feel like I can smell the oil through the pictures. read more

Best burritos ever! We always call in our order so when we get there we can just pay and eat. Parking can be tricky at times but is worth it. My go to order is a breakfast burrito with bacon, add avocado and make it spicy. The one burrito is two meals for me that's how large it is. read more

I was really looking forward to trying Nate's. What a disappointment. We ordered the steak burrito and the breakfast sandwich.the steak burrito had very little meat in it and was very soggy, didn't taste good at all. They messed up the order for the breakfast sandwich and used croissant instead of sourdough bread. The sandwich was also very soggy. Nate's was a HUGE let down. We will not be going back. read more

Great breakfast burritos for a quick morning bite. A little greasy but chorizo burrito was awesome.

Hope-in-the-wall type of place and the food is great. Had the pastrami breakfast burrito and it was delicious. They put hash browns in the burrito and that makes all the difference - it adds a crunchy texture you don't usually get from breakfast burritos. Wish I asked for a side of salsa or ketchup. Big serving sizes. read more

Holy Yowza. HERE YE, HERE YE: If you have biblical level of appetite, this place is your jam! HUMONGOUS proportions especially on their burritos. Holy Lord almighty in heaven - I literally bit more than I can chew on this one. Here's the deal: I had the steak breakfast burrito: YUM-O! that hashbrown is the star of the show, but talk about Carb-city. But you know, it's so good, you really wont mind too much. Now, if youre a champ eater, one burrito will do you justice. But if not, bring a partner cuz youre going to need their help. Chilli cheese fries - I wish I know Moses personally so i can ask him the favor of parting this thing as he did with the red sea. I mean, this ish was so gigantic. Not overly salty, but you gonna have to do some repenting after cuz this meal was made with gluttony in mind. The chilli has a kick to it, so keep an eye out if youre not used to spicy food. Pastrami breakfast sandwhich with two over easy eggs and cheese on rye - this will also have you unbuckling your belt, but not as much as the other ones i mentioned. I would suggest to ask for something with acidity like pickled jalapeno or even some grilled onion just to kinda cut on that strong pastrami flavor. All in all, the joint itself definitely has that hole in the wall vibe. Each meal/sandwich is around that 8-11 bucks on average. The seating arrangement and the entire place itself could use a face lift, but oh wells. read more

Solid breakfast burritos made with shredded potatoes that are cooked on a flat top. Eggs are cooked to perfection (not to dry) and the burrito options are very good. We are tried the beef chorizo, steak, and the Nate's. Our favorite is the meat combo with bacon and sausage, which will take away any morning craving. Note that the potatoes are a bit greasy, so ordering a burrito with crispy and/or less potatoes will help. Limited parking during crunch times. Phone orders are taken and can help if there are no parking places. Beware, the smell may tempt you to take a bite on your way back home! Definitely worth a try!!! read more

All you need to know: order a breakfast burrito. Go-to is the two meat/two egg with bacon and sausage. Comes with hashbrowns inside and they say has salsa in it but sometimes it's tough to taste it. They charge for salsa on the side. I'd say if you're an above average eater you usually can eat the whole burrito but you're safer not eating the whole burrito because of the after effects. Food coma and bowl movements to follow. Recommend ordering ahead and parking is a bit slim there. read more

I came for pastrami. Got breakfast burrito with pastrami. Loads of hyper crisp browned hash brown potatoes. Good for a frat boy with epic iron stomach. Tasty, too be sure. I could only eat a few bites. Wished I ordered the sandwich, fresh and untoasted. Focus on pastrami. Glad you exist Nate's. Still looking for a standard order. We had a good time, recommend! read more

This place is good but the only thing I dislike was that the hash browns were chips and not actually hash at all and it didn't taste like potato unfortunately. read more

Fantastic burritos, OC favorite must try. Grab the steak breakfast burrito if it's your first time! So much meat and the eggs are cooked to perfection!! read more

Good place to pick-up food if you're in a rush but not to dine-in as there are only a couple of tables. Decent breakfast burritos and portions are very large. read more

I will have to say 5 star for service and flavor of burrito but 2 for lacking: I added steak to the Nate's burrito and there was barely any in it! The burrito cost 20.50. The avocado was bad as well. A burrito that cost that much should come with salsa and obviously more steak. read more

Burritos are HUGE and crispy, a bit too filled for my liking. I wish they would put more variety in the burrito and other ingredients. Expensive. read more

Decent breakfast burritos but there are a couple critiques to address. What I ordered: -Two meat (sausage and bacon), two egg breakfast burrito: The burrito was pretty large so that was a plus given the price. I have quite the appetite so I managed to eat the whole thing, but you can honestly split it into another meal/share it as well. If there's one thing you should know, however, it's really greasy. I think you get an overwhelming amount of hash browns, which were super crispy, but they started sticking together with all the oil. And once you get towards the end of the burrito, the oil starts dripping a lot. It was also bizarre because one side of the burrito was more dry and the other was drenched with oil, probably from the drive home, so It's probably better when eaten then and there. I would, however, prefer to have more meat and less hash browns in my burrito. At around $9 and some change, I'd think it would include at least one pack of sauce but I realized after leaving that you actually have to pay extra for it. Typically, other places only charge you if you want additional packs, but automatically include one with your order. I guess the amount of grease in the burrito was compensating for no salsa ? The shop and parking: The place tends to get busy so if no one answers your phone order, call 1-2 more times and they will eventually pick up. Lady that answered was nice and said it would be ready in 15-20 mins, which was accurate. The shop itself is located in a small corner plaza, and while parking was easy to find, I noticed a lot of people starting to come in. It's quite spacious inside and everyone was wearing masks and socially distancing at least. Overall: Would give their breakfast burritos another try if I were in the mood for a large, hefty (and not so healthy), meal. I wished the salsa actually came with the burrito but it is what it is. read more

Nate's Korner - Greasy two meat, two egg breakfast burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Paid $7 for a giant box of funyuns they call "hashbrowns". My hot corn beef sandwich was salty as the ocean and the meat was slimy like it came straight out of a package... spent $40 and didn't even finish half the food. I have NEVER written a review before but god this place was awful. read more

I got a breakfast burrito and although I was really excited to eat it, I feel like it was super greasy that day. The hasbrowns weren't of my liking since I like them soft with a little crunch but it these were almost deep fried. I think I would come back to try one more thing but the next time it would probably be a sandwich or so. The employees on the other hand were so nice! The staff looked like they were in a great mood and the place looked spotless! Love to eat in sometime! read more

I was excited to try this spot with "the best breakfast burrito in OC." No only was it not the best, it was probably the worst breakfast burrito I've ever had. I ordered a bacon burrito with the salsa on the side. The burrito was all crunchy potatoes. It was basically a hash brown burrito. There was a small amount of egg and bacon. I could barely chew all of the crunchy potatoes. I ate about 1/3 of the burrito because I was starving and brought the rest home. My husband disassembled it and made the leftovers into something edible so it wasn't a total waste of $15. Also, ordering the salsa on the side instead of in the burrito was an extra charge, which makes no sense. I didn't ask for extra salsa, just to put the salsa that normally comes inside the burrito on the outside. read more

Fantastic! First time trying out Nate's Korner - The breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwich was so good, we went back two days later and got more to share with friends. Fast and friendly service, wide variety of choices and fresh, tasty large portions. Will be back many times! read more

Huge Breakfast Burritos! I love how they have runny eggs inside the burrito, it is amazing. I ordered the 2 meat 2 eggs, with the 2 meats being bacon and sausage. The service was great and fast. Definitely recommend getting the breakfast burrito! read more

Whoever made my burrito today gets a 10 out of 5. I've had at least 10 burritos here and this one made it seem like a different place. Hashbrowns not too crispy or greasy, eggs perfectly over medium with just enough yolk.. Thanks! Be back on Sundays! read more

Love their steak breakfast burrito! Have to get it with double meat, less hash brown. I wash it all down with a coke! I am able to eat the entire burrito on my own but it's definitely better shared. This place can get crazy busy but service is friendly and efficient! read more

I've only been here for the breakfast burritos and they are worth 5 stars. Love the crunchy hash browns in them.

Great place definitely get a bang for you're buck!! Got Nate's favorite and was spicy but great!! Would definitely come again read more

Best breakfast burrito I've ever had! Their burritos are packed and huge! The best thing about this burrito is the hash browns! I brought it home and the hashbrowns were still crunchy! I got the burrito with sausage and bacon and it was amazing! I am definitely coming back again! The parking is really small so good luck! read more

THE BEST BREAKFAST BURRITOS OF ALL TIME. Who's glorious idea to add tiny crunchy fries, bless your soul!! This is a secret gem of OC, and IT IS FREAKIN DELICIOUS. Each burrito is hugee and half is very fulling (remember to ask them to cut it in half!). It is more of a to-go place, and you can call ahead to make your order! Seriously, get the breakfast burritos. read more

These burritos are fantastic. The veggie one is delightful and *packed* with so many tasty veggies/avocado. I could only eat half, so I got the pleasure of reheated tastiness the next day and it held up! Stuff dreams are made of. Will return as often as possible. read more

I usually opt for the breakfast steak burrito and it never disappoints. You'll be blown away by their size. On my last visit, I decided to switch it up and try the spicy version. I was surprised to find that the heat came from a generous helping of jalapeños rather than a sauce. If you're not a huge jalapeño person, you may want to stick with the regular version and pay a little extra for their chipotle sauce or be prepared to spend some time picking them out. read more

Amazing great burritos. Sometimes the hash brows are a bit overcooked but a great place for HUGE burritos.

Best breakfast burrito in OC, hands down. Egg burrito is unmatched and this is the place locals who know what they're doing go to

Big wack expensive ass overrated ass breakfast burritos smh they need better cooks or better management.. where's the boss managing the quality of his food?? The hash browns were all old dry cold and the bad kinda crispy.. I could maybe get why people would come here but it doesn't taste made to order as in Fresh to order.. it's a spot that feels like they make everything in advance and have everything just sitting there til someone orders it.. it's a shame really. I was looking forward to it looking at all the good reviews and gave it a shot as I do like supporting small businesses.. the salsa was wack too.. they charge you a dollar each it tasted like mild pace salsa but like the ketchup version.. smh I spent 35 bucks on potatoes a bit of meat and a flour tortilla.. SAD read more

Their pastrami breakfast is still top of OC in my opinion. People complain about too much hash brown but I think it was perfect. Maybe I went on a good day? Nice and hot, perfectly thick tortilla, crispy hash brown, and delicious pastrami. Make it spicy with some Serrano chilis and you have the perfect breakfast burrito, albeit extremely heavy. Prepare to be in a food coma if you eat more than half! read more

Came here on a Thursday around 11am, there was no wait time! Ordered the Beef Chorizo Burrito and asked for it spicy (they use sriracha) and it was good, the hash browns were nice and crispy but not burnt which was perfect. My boyfriend and I decided to share because I knew I couldn't eat one whole burrito! They're so big but I could barely taste the chorizo honestly wish it was a bit more spread throughout the burrito I tasted it right in the middle of the burrito but not towards the bottom. We ordered the spicy chipotle sauce with it which was good. I think this would be a good place to eat for people who are trying to bulk up! The prices were also not bad. Our burrito was $11.99 and salsa was $1! I would try it again and get a different burrito! read more
