I was looking for a breakfast burrito to bring home and I drive by Achiote Grill almost everyday. It's been awhile since I've been, I used to go when my kids were going to Anderson academics. I forgot what a gem of a place this is. I was greeted by Jack ( the owner and the cook) . He recommended the most popular egg burrito in the menu- I ordered 2 without sour cream. The place is clean and has a charm to it. He cooked the burritos as I had ordered them. My boys said the burritos were 5/5- great flavor not just eggy tasting like most . They also have an extensive menu and offer tamales. With the economy being down, let's bring Jack more business. Sole small business owner- let's support him, plus the food is great and flavorful. read more

I went in because they had a sign that said they sold homemade tamales. The tamales were frozen then microwaved for 10 minutes. When I got home the middle was still cold so I steamed them for a few minutes only to take the first bite and the masa was raw. The tamales unfortunately were not edible unless I cooked them myself, which at that point was not worth it. If you are looking for fresh homemade tamales these are definitely not it. You are better off buying them from a street vendor and much cheaper too. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Good food and the owner is very nice. It's chill but closes a little early. Totally get why. This is great for a casual weekend.

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. read more

Went here this morning at 10am to get a breakfast burrito based on Yelp reviews and when i walked in owner told me he was closed till 10:45 because he was working on a large order. If you cant accommodate walk-ins and a large order as a restaurant you should either not take the large order or you need to bring in additional help so that walk in customers are taken care of too read more

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!

Nice little place to grab lunch. Came here the other day for the breakfast special which was decent. The tamale though was something special! I ordered this to go & ate it a day later still amazing! Two gentleman own this establishment. The one who I spoke with was very nice and welcoming. Surprisingly for one gentleman working and operating everything the food didnt take as long as I expected. They do have a good selection of items on the menu and will be back to try more dishes! read more

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. read more

Oh my word!!! MUST TRY!!! Just had the Ultimate Breakfast Burrito. Delicious and fresh tasting with the fresh and different tasting deep flavored delicious fresh roasted salsa. Spicy enough for me but not too spicy. The ingredients seemed to be cut small which I love, so you taste all in almost every bite. I'd read that the fresh fruit salad was good but oh Lord, it's amazing. So different, with ginger and herbs. Out of this world. I'll be craving that fruit from now on, I know. The ambiance is homey, the owner is very kind. Service thoughtful. Food made with love, you can tell. This is a MUST TRY place! read more

Food and service 5/5 :) I had the chilaquiles and they were a little different than what I'm used to but very yummy. The scrambled eggs with peppers in them were a really nice touch. read more

I ordered a breakfast burrito through Yelp takeout and received confirmation it was ready for pickup. Upon arrival, there was an elder man working here. He said they don't use Yelp and claimed my order never came through. He gave a semi-lengthy speech about not taking online orders and finally, offered to make me the burrito. I was concerned about the wait time as I was in a rush and had my sister waiting in the car. As he started making the burrito, I asked twice how long it would take, but he just stared and asked me if I liked my eggs cooked? LOL. Then said, 3 minutes. His passive aggressiveness was super frustrating. The overall experience was disappointing. The restaurant itself looked rundown, felt unwelcoming, and the man's demeanor was unfriendly. The food was below average. Given the service issues and lack of ambiance, I'm surprised the restaurant is still open. read more

Honestly, this place has just really improved over time. Really shows their dedication to serving great food. Their tamales are pretty awesome and get ordered in bulk for the holidays. So order in advance! And the dedicated regulars are a cool crowd. You come here often enough you'll run into the regulars. Glad they survived covid but still can always use more help! So come and order some tamales! read more

Definitely coming back, amazing food, friendly service and great price.

Updated review: I did not enjoy the food and the portions were small, but the service was nice. Response to owner's comment: Sorry, I only saw your response now, years later.

Wow, driven past this hidden YUM for years and never stopped, will be stopping often now! 5/4/21 for an early lunch, looked at the menu and had no clue as so much looked good. I asked and the man working suggested the "The outer Banks" Yellowfin Tuna In house smoked ahi, Gouda cheese, cranberries, mayo, red onion, tarragon cilantro lime sauce. Had no clue I was going to get chips and salsa, and fresh fruit on the plate also. It was a HOMERUN of goodness! Can of diet coke and bottle of water at fair prices, love it! Look forward to trying more of the menu soon. Pro's That have own smoker unit and do right out front! Fresh and great taste of food. Very nice owners, small business and a pleasure to support! Place is clean. Food was served quick. Good variety on the menu. Easy access off Gothard and plenty of parking. Con's None. read more
