    Greasy wrapper
    William M.

    I ordered a sausage breakfast burrito and I added bacon to it for a couple extra dollars. I also added a side order of tater tots. The wrapper for the breakfast burrito was soaked with oil/grease. It was already looking bad before I even took a bite. The burrito was cut in half and I was able to see what was inside. It looked liked it was filled with corn beef hash to be honest. You could not see the egg, tater tots, bacon or sausage. It just looked like it was filled with mush. Breakfast burritos are one of my favorite items and this was bad, really bad. I didn't finish it and tossed out the other half. The side of tater tots were really dark, at first glance I thought they were burnt. I took a bite of one and it was ok. Maybe old oil in the deep fryer?? Who knows. Typically, even a bad breakfast burrito is ok. This was so far off the charts that I had to throw it out. I'll pass on The Trough

    I saw a video online that said this was the best breakfast burrito in Orange County and I sadly disagree. It's an okay burrito but it was quite bland. We got bacon and I got maybe 1 bite that had bacon in it. The salsa had zero spice it was on the sour side

    Great sandwiches and fantastic breakfast burrito. The tater tots give the burrito a great crunch. Everything was super fresh. Parking is a pain but if you are staying at Sonesta walk on over! No issues with service in this small sandwich shop in the business center.

    Everyone has been raving that Trough has the best breakfast burrito in OC and I have to agree that it is one of the top contenders. I like that they serve their breakfast burrito all day and it's very customizable to be vegetarian or meat based. The tater tots were crispy and the eggs were cooked perfectly, everything in the burrito went well together. The sandwich toppings were good, I recommend adding the pickled onions for some acidity. I wish that the dutch crunch bread had more structure and was a little more dense like traditional dutch crunch, I felt like it was on the softer side. We ordered for pick up because first time app users get 25% off, such a good deal! They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for you to enjoy your meal. There's a parking structure to park in and they provide validated parking. ig: @cravingswithcat

    Breakfast Burrito w Bacon & Scrambled Eggs
    Alexis K.

    More of a 3.5 stars. We were HIGHLY recommended the breakfast burrito, so maybe went in with a bit of higher standards. It was perfectly decent. They were huge, so you're getting a good size for the price. I didn't love the sauce it came with; it's a thin, onioney avocado salsa. They honored all of our modification requests!

    Mac & Cheese
    Richard W.

    Right off of Main St next to Goldfinch - you can order by kiosk and there is both indoor and patio seating. I didn't like the food and the experience was mediocre. I ordered the classic pastrami and it took quite a while to get my order made even though it didn't look too crowded. The volume of pastrami meat was pretty thin and I thought there was way too much cheese. The pickles added a nice tangy zing to it, otherwise, it was a pretty sloppily made and unremarkable meal. I also made the mistake of ordering their mac n cheese with bacon (which always helps), but it more resembled Mac n cheese soup with it being very watery. The intensity of the cheese flavor is therefore really dialed down and you just don't get that much flavor in any single bite. I doubt I would come back but if going with other people, I would opt for something different on the menu. That's all.

    Great lunch place. They have a big menu that is sure to please everyone. The breakfast burrito is a good bet and serve all day. Great space. Indoor and outdoor seating. Fast service. Please come and create your own adventure.

    I saw this ginormous burrito on my friend's Instagram story and she was kind enough to tag the location. I instantly took initiative and went with my friend the very next day. Now I am honestly not a breakfast person, especially not for a breakfast burrito. I don't even like eggs. HOWEVER, I ordered the breakfast burrito with chorizo and egg white and it was spectacular. Converted me into a breakfast burrito lover if I may say so myself. Our server was wonderful and sitting outside added a whole new level to our enjoyment of dining. I would highly recommend trying this place if you're looking for a new breakfast/sandwich spot in OC.

    If you want a greasy full impact breakfast burrito this one is for you. The crispy tator tots add crisp and it has so much flavor. I added the chorizo but they have a few options to choose from and customizations you can make. One burrito is enough for two.

    Breakfast burrito with pork and portobello mushroom
    Joshua T.

    Came here specifically for their breakfast burrito since they are talked about being among the best and it did not disappoint. Its definitely a must try. It starts out at $14 and you choose your protein (including portobello mushroom). From there, you can add various things at an extra charge. We got the pork and portobello mushroom, which came out to just under $17. We also got a side of mac & cheese (which works as an excellent burrito topper). The burrito alone was perfect for 2 people. It is not the easiest place to find, but they do validate the parking garage.

    Breakfast Burrito with Steak and Avocado
    Juan B.

    I kept hearing that this spot serves one of the best breakfast burritos in OC, so I had to see for myself. I placed my order ahead for pickup. When I got there, parking turned into a bit of an adventure. There's a garage nearby, but no clearly marked spots for customers so I ended up sending my passenger in to grab the food while I circled. As someone who hates bad parking situations this wasn't ideal but I'll admit the burritos helped make up for it. We tried the steak and avocado and the sausage and avocado burritos. Both were hefty, flavor-packed, and super satisfying. The steak wasn't what I expected as it had more of a cheesesteak texture but it worked surprisingly well with the creamy avocado and eggs. The tater tots had me skeptical but their crunchy texture made me a believer. The total came out to $37 for two burritos, which is steep but it fed me for the day. I'm already eyeing the sandwiches for next time.

    Breakfast Burrito with Sausage
    Brian M.

    I was craving breakfast for lunch so decided to try The Trough. It was terrific. One of the best breakfast burritos that I have had in some time. The Breakfast Burrito with Sausage was huge and packed with yumminess. I could only finish half and I'm excited for leftovers tomorrow. I would not hesitate coming back.

    Breakfast Burrito with steak
    Adeeva M.

    So glad I found out about this place. It's in a business district area, and there is a structure available for parking. The great thing is that they validate parking for two hours. They had lots of good things on the menu but I decided on the breakfast burrito. You can select the protein you would like and I went with steak. I honestly think this is the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Literally so good! It comes with a salsa sauce on the side that was to die for. The burrito was also huge so you get your money worth. I could only eat half. I loved how they had patio seating and they have free WiFi. I was able to work for a bit while enjoying my food, it was perfect. I will definitely be back!

The cooking uses quality ingredients and love and care. I was here on business by myself and was seated immediately and after a quick look at the menu decided on the devil's cut ribeye a steak. It comes with a massive amount of oven, roasted potatoes and green beans. I also got a side salad with it as well which was way too much food for one person. The entire thing was big enough for two normal or maybe even three light eaters. The steak was excellent with a sweet coffee rub with a slightly sweet mapley taste. I could only finish about half and save the rest for the next day. Even though I was full, I decided to try the fried apple pie because it was recommended by many other reviewers. It was actually amazing. It was the dish that was highly recommended by the server and she was not wrong. The ice cream on top was probably House made and the pie itself was like a gourmet version of a hostess apple pie but of course with much higher quality ingredients and it was delicious. The vibe of the restaurant is exciting. It is a fun place to visit with the visual aspects such as the bird cages in the window case. Oak barrels used for aging whiskey are set around and the general vibe was very attractive. Everyone was having a great time and making quite a lot of noise from all the conversation and the music, but people were really enjoying themselves. If you want to have a quiet conversation with someone, this is probably not your place, but if you want a fun time with that kind of vibe, it is an excellent place. I recommend Bosscat highly.

At 7:25 pm, they brought us in and did not have a table ready for us. They made a table then after a table left 15 minutes later, they rearranged us. I do not understand why you offer reservations if you will not actually honor the system. Around 8 pm, we asked if we could order as they had only brought water. Listen I understand. You're closing soon. You only had 1 server for the entire restaurant the weekend of Valentines. You have to go lean on the busiest last weekend ..? I don't actually understand. When all came to, they were not offering dessert because "they were saving it for Valentine's Day". No notification about when their kitchen closed and no asks if anybody wanted to order for to-go. On top of that, everyone did not have free parking and had to pay upon exit even with validation. You will do great as a ghost kitchen since the food was good and everyone enjoyed it. If you come back as a full service, I would seriously reconsider how you do business.
