    Very nice service. I had a breakfast burrito. Sausage, egg, hashbrowns, cheese just what I like. I would order this again. Had a medium Diet Coke. I like the patio which is where I ate. Would definitely come here again.

    Thank you, Athenian Burger, for being reliable early in the morning when my son needs a quick energy and protein boost on our way to a soccer game. When most restaurants are not open yet, you are! Breakfast burritos are QUALITY (my son's go to is extra bacon burrito, no cheese, cut in half so he can eat the other half after the game), call ahead service is easy so that is ready to go when I arrive. Customer service is always amazing and I appreciate that for family nights, the menu has a variety to choose from so that everyone is happy.

    I ordered the chilaquiles plate with mild red sauce. I decided to dine in since I did not want them to get soggy on the way home. The place was not busy and service was quick. The lady at the register was very sweet and attentive. The food did not disappoint. I'll probably order it spicier next time to give it more flavor but other than that, it was good! Plenty of seating inside or outside in the patio.

    I've been coming here since they opened in the 70's. Hasn't changed much. To me this is comfort food. This will always be my go to burger joint.

    I've honestly been coming here all my life. Since I was in elementary school, I'm 27 now. This place has always been a great spot to eat. For breakfast, lunch, or dinner! I stopped coming here for a while though as I got older due to working far or just not living in Anaheim/BP. But recently I've been coming here with my girlfriend. We've been coming here pretty consistently for this past year. We always get a Chorizo & Egg breakfast burrito with hash browns, a small fry, and a drink. We always share that and we end up spending $20 or less. The service is always great and the food is even better lol. The same people working today for the most part are some of the same as when I was a young kid. Pretty cool to see. Love coming here on weekend mornings, eat breakfast and watching tv. The inside has always been the same since I can remember too. Just an all around great spot to eat at!

    I've always been tempted to try these burritos since they promote that they're one of the best in OC. We happened to be in the area so we stopped to finally try. To be honest the burrito does its job but it's nothing special. It definitely needs salsa or something because the burrito on its own is a bit bland. Not sure if they had any but we weren't offered any. Suicide Burrito: the sausage and bacon was good. Comparable to other 3 meat burritos. Not life changing but it's a good burrito! 8/10 No meat burrito: a bit expensive at 10.25 for the most basic burrito but it was okay. This burrito definitely needs something because it's just kind of mush. 7/10 The service was quick, our food was brought out to our table since we were dining in. Lots of parking and in an easy location
