    Bacon Bird
    Emily M.

    Exactly what I wanted/needed! Was craving a perfect breakfast burrito and I found it. The bacon bird burrito was delicious and didn't fall apart at all. It was a really tasty burrito, we left no crumbs!!!

    Grabbed a Bacon Bird and a Nook Coffee (nearby) and enjoyed a hearty breakfast! The burrito was filling and flavorful, just a tad oily after sitting in a to-go bag for about 10 minutes. I dabbed it off and devoured it! Can't wait to work my way through their menu. Overall delicious, the environment is fun, and staff is nice!

    I will start with the good, the burrito is delicious it has gooey American cheese crispy tots and the meat is good, all together make a good breakfast burrito. I got the sausage burrito and strange to have chips in it as the tots have enough crunch but that's ok. The burrito was also not very big it wasn't small but i saw a sign saying something about a 1lb burrito. Maybe that's a challenge! The price is exceptional $13 for a burrito was amazing so that's a great positive. The bad. It's at the anti lab and parking is always the worst. We walked up with no one in line and ordered the single burrito, the wait we were told was 20 minutes which was crazy as there was no one there. It ended up taking over 30 minutes for a breakfast burrito. They had an influx of online orders. I wish places would prioritize the people who actually visit the store. Next time I would call ahead and pick up. The other negative which may not be so bad is we saw the US foods delivery guy dropping all the food, there's lots of controversy over us foods so take it or leave it. I will be back as I am interested in the Korean inspired burrito but man call ahead!

    Came here on a Saturday morning around 10am with my sister and her family, and it definitely hit the spot! I ordered the Bacon Bird (3 eggs, tater tots, crispy tortilla strips, American cheese, brown sugar bacon, salsa roja, and guacamole), and every bite was delicious. If you're a fan of breakfast burritos, this place delivers. The burrito was tightly wrapped, packed with flavor, and had a great balance of savory goodness with a subtle sweetness from the brown sugar bacon. The tater tots added a nice texture, and the guacamole helped bring everything together. The real surprise was the salsa bar as both the red and green salsas were fantastic, with just the right amount of spice and the perfect complement to the burrito. The restaurant itself is small and cute, and the staff were super friendly. Seating can be limited, but there are plenty of places to sit around the Anti-Mall and nearby outdoor areas. It seemed like many people were grabbing their food to go, which makes sense given how quickly the line moved. Everyone in our group enjoyed their burritos, and we left with very happy, full bellies. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm craving a satisfying breakfast burrito!

    Spiced Soyrizo

    First time here and decided to try the Spiced Soy Chorizo - crispy hash browns and the spice is definitely present. I would have loved more guac and eggs but they gave a good amount of the soy chorizo which was on the saltier side for me. Still an ok burrito for the price and I recommend pairing this with the salsa verde - which helped cool the heat for me and added more flavor. It's located at Anti-Lab Mall, so conveniently you can explore around the area and to the Camp after or even take your burrito in the outdoor seating.

    We stopped by Earlybird Breakfast Burritos and tried their most popular item, the Bacon Bird. It was served hot, very delicious, and reasonably priced. Be sure to grab both the green and red salsas!

    I'm giving this place 4 stars. The burrito was good, just not the best breakfast burrito I've had in Costa Mesa. The main thing for me was the spice. The salsa was really spicy and it kind of caught me off guard. On an empty stomach it was a lot and at one point I wasn't even sure I could keep eating it. I do wish there was a heads up about how spicy it was because I probably would have gotten it on the side or taken it out. I still ended up finishing it though lol. The burrito itself was really big, definitely enough to share. My partner and I split one and we were both full, so portion wise it was solid. It was about $16 plus tip, which felt a little pricey for what it was, but not terrible. The spot itself is really cute and had a good amount of people even on a weekday. The staff was friendly and the girl helping us knew the menu well and pointed out the popular options which I appreciated. I would come back and try something else next time, probably without the salsa lol

    I'm so glad we discovered this spot. I had heard about their huge burritos, and they definitely live up to the reputation. I was really surprised by the weight when I picked up our bag. I personally preferred the Firebird over the carne asada, but we were both pleasantly surprised by their flavorful salsas. Every burrito comes with tater tots, which seems to be the trend these days, and I'm all for it. The restaurant was fairly empty near closing on a Saturday, so ordering was quick and easy. Seating is limited both indoors and outdoors, so grabbing food to go might be your best bet. And a heads-up for any old schoolers: this place is cashless. We had to try the classic carne asada especially since we heard it was a favorite, and also grabbed the Firebird because it looked too good to pass up. I'm loving the tater tots trend, and Earlybird takes it up a notch by using over-easy eggs in the Firebird. On top of that, the fried chicken adds an extra layer of crunch that really brings everything together. This was easily my favorite. Unfortunately, the carne asada didn't quite hit the same. The marinade was underwhelming and overall the burrito felt a bit unbalanced. This might be the only time I've ever wanted less guacamole. The salsas were an absolute hit with us. They had a surprising tanginess that worked really well. And the red sauce wasn't very spicy, so we found ourselves piling it on. Overall, it was a bit hit-or-miss, but the burritos are undeniably hearty, creative, and filling. I appreciate the unique flavor combos, and I'd definitely come back to try more, especially the K-Town Sunrise.

    There are so many better burrito spots in OC, but I kept seeing the hype and decided to give this place a try. I ordered the carne asada burrito with no tater tots or tortilla strips. What I got was honestly disappointing. The burrito was overly watery and mushy--to the point where I couldn't even eat it by hand. I tried taking a few bites in the car before getting home, but it was already falling apart. They also didn't include my sides of verde and roja sauce, which was frustrating. For a $20 burrito, I expect to at least be able to hold and eat it properly. If I wanted something that messy, I would've just ordered a bowl. Plus the Asada gave off like soupy vibes and way too salty. I wonder if they gave me chorizo... I genuinely think it was a mix of asada and chorizo although I paid for EXTRA ASADA. I don't like chorizo so that was probably the over powering disgusting taste. SALTY SALTY MESS. I had to force myself to finish it. Another issue was the eggs, there were some in the first few bites, but after that, they basically disappeared from the rest of the burrito. I usually like to try multiple items when I check out a new spot, but I honestly don't see myself coming back here. Carne asada burrito: 5/10

    I have high expectations for breakfast burritos so I was hesitant to try this new spot but I am so glad I did! Located in The Lab, tucked away in the back is where you'll find Earlybird. The parking situation at The Lab can be tricky but if you come early morning you'll have better luck. The space itself is small, not a lot of seating inside, however The Lab has plenty of spots to set up if you want to eat here. So many items on the menu caught my eye but ultimately I went with the K-Town burrito since that is a pretty unique one. Absolutely delicious and fairly hefty. My first bite had a burst of egg yolk which is the best way to start off in my book. The beef, tater tots, aioli, and everything else mesh together so well and I would get this burrito again! My only critique would be the uneven spread of ingredients. While it was tasty it wasn't until almost halfway through that I started getting the kimchi, tots, and aioli. Despite that this was still a clear 5/5! Can't wait to come back

    Well HELLO sunshine, love walking up for breakfast and there's no line. It was a weekday, so expect a line on the weekends. Wanted to begin my journey with keeping it classic and traditional so I ordered a bacon bird and an eggy n' cheesy. I picked up some hot sauce for my friend. It looked too good to leave behind. The eggy n' cheesy simple and great if you aren't in the mood for meat. The bacon bird...YUM! The bacon is so yummy. I may need extra bacon next round. Here's my heads up...there isn't a lot of seating so plan to pickup and go or find somewhere around The Lab to sit. And because it's The Lab you know parking isn't always your friend. I also heard there's a good coffee shop nearby, so grab a coffee and pop a squat and enjoy your breakfast.

    Carne Asada burrito, hearty and tasty
    Hungry D.

    I was in the area and wanted a breakfast burrito. Something in the go. I ordered the carne asada burrito. The burrito itself was pretty big surprisingly. The burrito was hearty and filling. It kept me full for a few hours. It was packed with lots of good flavor. I was impressed it wasn't oily by the tart tots. The tots added a nice little crunch to the bite. I do wish they added more meat because I feel it was about 2oz worth. If you're in the go, I would suggest you place an order for pick up.

    Details.. .. Came for breakfast w. the hubs on a Sunday around 10:30am. .. There were maybe 4-5 parties ahead of us to order & the line went pretty quickly. .. Hubs ordered the Firebird & I ordered the Carne Asada. prOs.. .. Staff were friendly. .. Kitchen/minimal inside seating looked clean. .. The burritos themselves were perfection! Very cleanly wrapped so your first & last bites didn't just consist of tortilla. Panini press grilled on the outside for addition crunch & burrito/tortilla stability. The flavors were well balanced. Eggs tasted fresh & weren't rubbery. cOns.. .. Personally, the crispy tortilla strips in my carne asada burrito did nothing for me. There was already crunch from the tater tots & color from the other components. .. Parking is a sh*tshow at the Lab where EBB is located. Not their fault, but still a con. neutral observatiOns.. .. At the time of ordering, I was informed it would be a 20ish-min wait for the food & a text would be sent when the order was ready. Pretty accurate wait time quote. We didn't mind waiting, but fair warning since they're new & popular.

It's a fun spot to grab a drink for the ambiance, but as a full meal, it leaves a lot to be desired. The food itself is okay--the quesa birria tacos have decent flavor and the carne asada comes with a nice char--but given the steep prices, you expect way better execution and more generous portions. Paying high-end money for pretty standard street food staples dressed up on nice plateware just feels overpriced. Service was fine enough, nothing to complain about, but the value just isn't there for what they're charging. On top of that, parking can be a bit challenging since it's tucked away in kind of a weird location. If you're going purely for photos, fancy cocktails, and a trendy date night backdrop, it fits the bill, but if you're looking for great food value, there are much better spot-on Mexican joints in OC.
