Caleb G.

Very quaint restaurant in a very unassuming plaza, but it's definitely worth checking out. The owner is really friendly and hospitable. The food is reasonably priced and the burritos are healthy but you'll definitely leave full. The freshly squeezed orange juice was really good too. If you're in the area you must visit.

This week's breakfast special
Bob H.

So far so good! Nice little find. Saw it a couple days ago on way to movies. Saw tamales sign and got my attention. Small but fun decorations and place to sit outside. Waiting on food but initial reaction is I like this place

Top Sirloin Steak Breakfast Burrito (TikTok: @justandyvu)
Andy V.

1. The quality of this breakfast burrito is amazing! The steak portion was cooked nicely, and all the items fits perfectly inside this burrito! I loved that the burrito was already cut in half! 2. The spot has fun cozy vibes with alcohol available for dine-in only! 3. There are few tables inside and outside! 4. The staff were friendly and timely with my order! It took about 15 mins! 5. Parking was easy as it was not busy on the weekend! Note: I did not see a restroom open for customers! Photo: Top Sirloin Steak Breakfast Burrito and Soda!

Carnitas breakfast burrito
Jessica T.

A cute little place ran by a nice man! Food 5/5 We wanted to try the steak breakfast burrito but he said he was out, so my boyfriend subbed for carnitas and I got the ultimate and we really enjoyed them! Our total was about $23 and appreciated the side of fresh fruit and side of salsa. The salsa was a little spicy, smokey, and went well with the burritos. The fresh fruit also has a little something to it (we couldn't quite figure it out) but it was super refreshing on this hot day! Service 5/5 Because it's just him, it's gonna take a little for him to take your order and make it. Please be patient, it's worth it! And if you're in a rush maybe call ahead.

Amazing place for delicious breakfast burritos! Portion and pricing are great. Owner is very nice and welcoming!

Rajin' Cajun  Shrimp... my favorite
Brooke B.

YOU MUST COME HERE!!!!! Man I love this place!!! Food is spot on!! Made with lots of love & such GREAT flavor!!! It's a one man show currently, so be patient!! It's worth it!!! My girlfriend lives in Florida & it's the first spot she wants to eat when she visits!!! Breakfast Burritos are out of this world!! Ragin' Cajun Shrimp is my favorite, but the Specials are always on point!!! The salsa & fruit salad are super flavorful.... And the sangria!!!My taste buds are always dancing with joy!!! If you haven't been, make it a point to come support this amazing small business!!! Support local, Support Small!!!

Southwestern
Erick L.

0. Plenty of parking lot at 11:30 am on a Friday. 1. Excellent service. Attention to the customer. 2. Small location, maybe room for 15 3. I got the southwestern breakfast burrito, which was tasty and well prepared. The salsa was delicious.

Homemade chips and salsa

This is the most Incredible spot in Huntington Beach. The owner is awesome and makes everything fresh to order. the tamales are to die for and I recommend ordering them for pickup, they sell out! The menu pricing is absolutely unbeatable for the quality and care that goes into the food. Truly a gem. Healthy clean and made with love. The food is clean!! Check them out!! I love the breakfast burritos! The ultimate is the way to go for me. Tons of flavor and you will feel right at home. Highly recommended by locals who love clean, amazing food!

Realtor Damian D.

This establishment never disappoints and today I tried their special, the breakfast burrito. It's super tasty and very filling with high quality ingredients. It comes with a delicious salsa that hits perfectly with the other flavors. It's such a great value too as it comes with a side of fruit salad. These guys serve up great food! Be sure to stop by Achiote Grill, it truly is a hidden gem!!

A little Huntington native birdie chirped to me about this place and being a hungry visitor to the area, I went with it. Two words: Deliciously healthy. Location: In an industrial section of Huntington Beach on Saturn and Gothard. Next to an Allstate office and the sign is a banner. Talk about a hidden grove!! Only native birdies know this spot. Food: The selection is large with two separate menus for breakfast and lunch/dinner so pick the right one. I got the surf and turf burrito (chicken and shrimp) and it was hot, filling, fresh, homemade and the perfect size (UK size, not US). What's surprising? A lot less salt and more flavor with the pico de gallo, avocado and lime sauce. Somehow, this all works and this migrating birdie had a happy tummy. The included salsa was definitely home made with a good kick to it. Goes great with the chips (thin and light) or as a topping with the burrito. Soooo goood and I wasn't feeling dried out like a prune because the sodium level was way down. And NOT greasy. Perfecto!! Summary: You know those local spots you find in your neighborhood that make good food at a decent price? This is one of them. A tiny place that just recently reopened with new hours, I highly recommend you visit if you get the chance. They are locally known for their breakfast burritos and you can get those all day long. Hours vary and are posted on Yelp, so the only day they open late is Friday (7pm), so check before you come here. The place is run by two guys ( Englishman and an Iranian) and they do a stellar job if you're looking for a place with a healthier version of burritos. Granted not everything is healthy, but better than what you can get elsewhere besides home. Locals love them and I can see why. The guys here take care of their customers. I was completely satisfied with the burrito I had which also satified the healthy eating demoness in me. I had no issues with the service as some reviewers complained about it. They also offer enchiladas,salads, fajitas, wraps and tacos too. Yes, they can be made kid friendly. Oh, and they serve beer and adult drinks. Seating is kind of tight and intimate, but you won't mind rubbing elbows with your neighbor, right? They do Grubhub and catering as well. I can't wait to come back here.

Whatever you order comes out of the kitchen in rapid order. So if you have to make a flight at LAX this might work for you (with some reservations to follow). I walked in and was reminded of my way to cool week in Cuzco only without the crushing headache from the altitude. The place is pretty inside with a beach front vibe to it. The walls are white with murals of fish in schools. The dining room is bright, attractive and filled with comfortable four tops with room to spread out. A cute Bar offers the usual suspects you'll find at a Latin resto to keep your appetizers company. The staff is practiced at getting your food from the kitchen to your table efficiently. Gabriel was focused on keeping the dishes coming and making suggestions when requested or required. At 5:00 PM the place was empty save for waiters waiting for the action to start. Make a nest and in a wink a Server will drop off a basket of house made Potato Chips as good as any Potato Chip ever dreamed of becoming. Salty, super crunchy, greaseless, they was. Truly memorable. Perfect just as they are, there was a bonus...a cup of Huanciana Peruvian Aji Chile and Potato Sauce to take a skinny dip in. Them chips were tasty treats you wish you could stop eating...but you simply can't. A Coconut Daiquri with Plantation Xaywaca (Rum), Salted Fermented Mango, Lime Acids, and Lemon Juice all in an Old Fashioned Glass and a large rock sprinkled with Shredded Coconut. A Rum Yummer and perfect with those magical Chips. The next dish out was the Piqueo Rocoto Mar which was a mas-o-menos tray of four square cups of Causa Shrimp, a fugitive from a bland Jambalaya, Fried Calamari, which were as chewy as an Air Jordon Tongue, Ceviche Mixto (with unknown raw fish) with Salmon Roe, and sadly none of this was remarkable. The last cup offered Grilled Octopus Tentacles which I stopped eating since I watched My Octopus Teacher twice. Being polite I cut off a hunk. It was Octo Chewing Gum. More time in the poaching liquid before grilling might have helped as the Mild Chili Sauce ladled over the Octo arms was decent enough. The Grilled Peruvian Scallops were excellent. Grilled just right, served in the shell with a Buttery Sauce and a sprinkle of Grated Parmesan Cheese. Pry the little buggahs out of their shell, and enjoy each and every one and finish by slurping the juice. Think of this as Peruvian Coquilles St. Jacques. Move the Scallops to the corner nearest you where you hid the last of those Potato Chips. The Acevichado was a Nikkei Style Sushi Roll, (two ample rows) and you know, all things considered, it was pretty good. Bluefin Tuna Loin, Acevichado Sauce (Aji Chili/Mayo Sauce), Sweet Potato Crunch (MIA), Togarashi (Japanese Chili Powder), and Panko which must have eloped with the Sweet Potato Crunch all in two tight rolls. Finally, the finale appeared. Aji di Gallina. Shredded Dakao Poultry Chicken with Creamy Walnut Sauce (masquerading as the ubiquitous Huancaina Potato-y Sauce), Aji Mirasol, (mild Peppers), Mashed Potatoes with Olives. Yes, the menu said Shredded Chicken so that was not a surprise. (Think Peruvian Tinga. I thought fridge clean out). However there were bits of skin hangin' on for dear life, and tendrils of stringy connective tissue like a spider web that followed each fork full that had to be pulled off the chicken. Bottom line it was Pollo de Bandas de Goma, para me, no gracias. Rocoto Pesaca Bar otra vez? Tal vez.

We tried - razor clams, scallops (HUGE), the selection of salads are amazing so we got the spicy mango - House Special Mango Salad with squid & escargot -- is spicy , tangy, refreshing, and the refreshing taste! My favorite dish was the HUGE fried fish...color is amazing and the way the fish was presented seal the deal for me. Between two people, we devoured the entire fish !! It's the kind of place where you order "just a few things" and suddenly the entire table is covered in food. But, I'm not complaining since the team is very quick in getting the used plates off our tables. Also, both places offered FREE dessert. It's like a coconut based taro and other root sweet dish.

Almost every time I come down to OC, I come here. It's not dusty or sticky and they try to make the…read moreinterior look modern and nice. The most recent time, we came at 8:30pm on weekday and there were 29 parties ahead of us (LOL), soooo plan ahead and join the waitlist through yelp. We probably waited about 30 minutes. Here are a few things I can think of to recommend: --Deep fried smelt fish ( i love smelt ) --Stir fried glass noodles with escargot and crab ( make sure to dip in the maggi sauce they give ) --House special mango salad ( squid & escargot ) --Razor clams ( sometimes sold out :( ) --Deep fried Quail ( this is one of the best ) --Stir fried water spinach with garlic ( for bowel movement assistance ) --Grilled garlic butter oysters ( the cheese one overpowers the oyster ) --Scallops with fish eggs --Coconut Swirly Escargot with Basil Leaves ( this is not my fave, but people i go with, love it ) Service is good.
