    Inside seating

    This place is the definition of a hole in the wall. Would I bring a date here? No. Is this the best breakfast burrito I've eaten? Oh yea. I came here one morning with my college friends. One of their brothers used to be a regular here back when he was in college. The prices really make you see why it's so popular with us broke folk. I bought a burrito for 15 dollars and ate it for two meals. It was enormous. I got it spicy, which had chopped peppers in it. I can handle spice ok, but I can't lie to you, maybe have some water on hand. Overall, fantastic little place to get a bite.

    I ordered the egg hash brown breakfast burrito and the bacon breakfast bowl. The eggs were overcooked and the hash browns were the thinly sliced variety, which felt more like a filler than a satisfying component. The food overall leaned on the greasier side. A solid spot if you're hungry.

    Pastrami breakfast burrito (no cheese)

    I have been dreaming of this breakfast burrito for a while now. I had it maybe a year ago but the soft egg(that isn't scrambled) and the unique hash browns stayed with me. I begged my friend to pick one up as I left work early in San Diego to make it to his place in the OC so we could catch a Ducks game(HIGHLY RECOMMEND). The burrito was just as good as last time and maybe even better. I had the pastrami breakfast burrito which is not offered at that many places. My buddy ordered two meats in his burrito and he said it was overwhelming and to just do one meat. Inside is Detroit themed so wear your Lions gear and fill up!

    Everyone has been raving that Nate's has the best breakfast burrito in OC. It's definitely the best for its value, a burrito can be shared between two people because that's how big it is. It was a little difficult to eat with its size and it was very heavy with all the hash browns. It has a good amount of protein, but not that much eggs. The homies can be shared between two people too. They have indoor seating and a small parking lot.

    2 Meat Breakfast Burrito
    Tristen S.

    Hearty breakfast burrito! They use over easy eggs, so if you don't like the yolk runny, this might not be the breakfast burrito for you. I also think having two meats was a little too much for my liking, but there is an option to just have 1 (or even 3). But overall the burrito was great and definitely worth trying. I also got the green salsa and chipotle sauce on the side, which were nice to have. There are a good amount of tables in the restaurant. Ordering was quick and waited about 15mins for my order. The restaurant is in a small plaza with parking available.

    This is my second time here and I can't remember what I got the first time but this time around, I got the steak breakfast burrito $14.99 and Nate's favorite $13.99 (also a breakfast burrito). Total came out to be about $32 for two burritos. Both burritos were good but I think Nate's favorite was a bit too oily for me. Kinda tastes like fajitas. If chicken was also included in the burrito, then that would prob be a the best chicken fajitas burrito. It did start getting spicy towards the end so if you can't handle spice, this isn't for you. The better of the two would be the steak burrito in my opinion. Not sure what kind of steak they use... seems like a knock of steak bc it didn't taste like the normal beef I'd eat. Either way though, the combination was good. Eggs were cooked super yummy. If I were to come back, I'd try to the 2 meats 2 eggs burrito. Also they do not provide any sauces without extra charge. Would be great if you had ketchup on hand. The green salsa is $1. The burritos are big and super filling but I'd only come here once in a while. Parking lot is also super small. Call ahead of time about 10 mins before to put in your order to prevent the wait time.

    What a great spot! So much seating, which is rare to find for a breakfast spot, such as this. The workers were so nice, greeting you when you walk in. The place was clean and the food came out fresh. I ordered a breakfast burrito two meat/2 eggs for $15. They are HUGE so I was able to share half with my partner and we were both full for a breakfast meal! MY FAVORITE PART WAS THE HASHBROWNS, IT'S GOLDEN AND CRUNCHY UNLIKE ANY HASHBROWNS I'VE HAD IN A BREAKFAST BURRITO. A GREAT SPOT THAT I WILL COME BACK TO!

    YUMMY Breakfast Burrito. Luckily I shared it with my friend cause they do not skimp on the filling. Can really make you feel heavy The crispy hash browns were such a nice touch. Can come with a side of green salsa which I recommend! Just order up front and choose your own seat. A lot of people inside and hole in the wall vibes.

    Half-eaten "steak" burrito (filled with ground beef) and leftover dry hash browns.

    1/5 Stars I visited Nate's Korner hoping for a great breakfast based on their high ratings, but my family and I left incredibly disappointed. Before we even walked through the doors, there was a strong, unpleasant smell of sewage outside. It certainly isn't the establishment's fault if it's a city issue, but it definitely ruined the appetite right off the bat. Still, we went in and placed our order: a breakfast platter (two eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns) for my wife, and what was listed as their premium, most expensive item--the Steak Burrito--for myself. Our total came out to over $46. The primary issue was the gross misrepresentation of the food. As I was eating the "steak" burrito, I realized there was absolutely no steak in it; it was just a pile of cheap ground beef. When I brought this up to the lady at the counter, she flatly replied, "Yeah, that's our steak burrito." If a restaurant is going to charge a premium price for a steak item, it should actually contain steak, not ground meat. That is incredibly misleading to customers. Furthermore, the construction and quality of the burrito were terrible. It was overwhelmingly stuffed with hashbrowns and severely lacked any sauce or fresh ingredients like pico de gallo to balance it out. The filling was so incredibly dry that I actually choked on my first bite and had to quickly chug my hot black coffee just to get it down, burning my mouth in the process. Ironically, despite being completely dry on the inside, it somehow managed to remain a greasy, soggy mess overall. In the end, we threw most of the food away. I had cut the burrito in half to share with my son, but it was inedible. The only thing he ended up eating was a few slices of bacon from my wife's plate. We essentially paid $46 for a few pieces of bacon. I honestly do not understand how this establishment maintains a 4-star rating. I am writing this to warn others: expect cheap ingredients, dry yet greasy food, and misleading menu descriptions. Save your time and your money.

    If you didn't know this place was here, you aren't the only one! We got a tip from our friend and tried this place. They have loads of choices. Their burritos are massive. You can make any burrito into a bowl which is what did. The service was quick and the girl at the counter was super friendly. It's more of a takeaway spot but they do have tables inside. It's a quick grab and go spot. The parking can be tough because it's a small center. We were able to snag a spot around 10am pretty easy but the parking is limited. It is a must try spot. I had a chicken burrito bowl and everyone else had a steak burrito. We got 2 burritos for 3 people. The green salsa is a bit spicy and the red has a chipotle flavour with kick.

    Best breakfast burritos around for miles. Hole in the wall place with yellow paint and red floor. Steady stream of traffic. Potato hash browns in the burrito is super crispy. We tried Nate's favorite and it normally has egg whites but we splurged with over easy whole eggs. Kids tried the steak and egg burrito. Each burrito feeds two people.

    Nate's Favorite- I asked for non spicy $8. Veggie burrito as big as my hand! Yummy!
    Mary D.

    Nate's Korner is an unassuming place. Great spot to pick up a breakfast burrito. If you're hungry and in the mood for breakfast, that is the way to go. The parking lot is small, but there is usually parking available. My go-to is the Nate's Favorite (no spice). It's a vegetarian burrito stuffed with hash browns, eggs, black beans, grilled onions, and avocado. It is HUGE, tasty, and such a good deal. I haven't been here for a while and the burrito used to be around $8. Now it's about $13, but it is more than enough to fill you up! You can even share the burrito, but it is so good you'll want your own. Yum! I have also tried their French fries and they give you a huge bag probably about 1.5 lbs worth, and they're OK. Get your fries somewhere else though. I want to try their steak burrito next time. Customer service is always efficient and the orders come out quickly... although you may need to order ahead if you're coming there for lunch as they get pretty crowded. Happy eating!

    Metal piece in my food
    Chloe L.

    Disaster of a meal. Found a metal piece in my burrito and almost choked on it. Imagined of it ended up swallowing it. Who knows if there were more, I stopped eating it and threw it away.

    What time do they stop serving breakfast?

    I think they serve breakfast all day - you can always call to double check but I remember getting a breakfast burrito for lunch!

    Do you offer breakfast hoagies like the three egg/three meat?

    Is their online ordering working yet? Their phone is constantly busy too so are they not taking phone orders as well?

    Yeah its a huge pain in the butt trying to call to place my order.. its either busy or just rings and rings.. theyre busy enough where they should have an employee dedicated to taking phone orders $$$

    Looks like online ordering isn't available even with an option to on their website. Perhaps there is a new site to order from?

    Nope, that's the website. It's even advertised on their menu screens inside the shop. Sucks that it doesn't work.

    Are dogs allowed?

    Not inside...but there's a little patio outside that has tables and chairs.

    Open on Christmas Eve?

    Yes

    Do they have vegan scramble?

    No, but there is a vegetarian pasta salad, that's about it.

    Every time i call the phone doesn't go through. Are they still open?

    They're usually very busy during most mornings so when I phone in and their line is busy, I just try again and around the third time it goes through.

I wanted to share some comprehensive feedback regarding a recent experience, aiming to highlight both your successes and areas where further refinement could elevate the customer journey even further. First and foremost, I must commend your team for their exceptional warmth and hospitality. From my initial phone call to the moment I picked up my order, I felt genuinely welcomed and valued. This level of customer service, which often feels lacking in many establishments today, truly sets American Grub apart. It creates a welcoming atmosphere that significantly enhances the overall experience, and I sincerely hope this commitment to friendliness remains a cornerstone of your operation. However, I encountered a couple of points that, in my personal opinion, warrant consideration for improvement. Regarding the payment process, I felt a degree of apprehension about providing my credit card details over the phone. While I understand the operational need to secure orders and prevent potential losses, particularly for larger transactions, for a single item like my bacon cheeseburger, priced at $17.24 including tax, this practice felt somewhat disproportionate. I also noted the 99-cent fee for online payments, which, while minor, might deter some customers who are seeking convenience without additional charges. Perhaps exploring alternative secure payment links for phone orders or adjusting the fee structure for smaller transactions could enhance customer comfort and streamline the process. My primary concern, however, arose upon returning home. Despite ordering a bacon cheeseburger, I discovered the burger completely lacked bacon, as well as any form of sauce or mayonnaise. This oversight had a significant impact on the meal; the absence of these core components rendered the burger quite bland and far from the experience I had anticipated. When ordering a single item, the expectation for meticulous attention to detail is particularly high, as there are fewer variables. Consequently, the overall value of the meal, given the missing ingredients, was not quite met on this occasion. I did reach out to the owner privately via email to discuss these points, and I appreciate their responsiveness and transparency in addressing my feedback, particularly concerning the rationale behind the phone payment policy. It is reassuring to know that your business is open to customer input. My hope is that these observations can serve as constructive input, allowing American Grub to continue refining its excellent service and product quality. I remain a supporter of your local endeavor and look forward to seeing these aspects addressed. Thank you for reaching out. To clarify, all my reviews and communications are crafted solely from my personal experiences and genuine perspectives, not AI. Every word and insight you read is authentically mine, driven by my commitment to provide honest feedback.
