The Best Breakfast Burritos in North Hollywood

By ·

The best breakfast burrito in the Valley comes out of a truck parked on Magnolia outside the North Hollywood Rec Center, and it costs thirteen dollars. Taqueria Nopal's asada is fried cheese, tater tots, egg, and an almost comical amount of steak, with three salsas that all pull their weight — the smoky chile de árbol above all.

The other two are studies in wasted potential. Cilantro Mexican Grill, working out of half a Chevron mini-mart, arrives Reddit-anointed and can't get its tater tots past the final third. Magnolia Grille has the salsa and the cheese and soggy everything else. A breakfast burrito is an exercise in distribution, and only one kitchen up here has solved it.

Taqueria Nopal, a humble truck parked on Magnolia outside the North Hollywood Rec Center, serves the kind of breakfast burrito that feels almost anachronistic in 2026: big, delicious, and priced like we somehow wandered back into 2018. Whenever I see a steak breakfast burrito, I go for it. They’re a relatively rare offering, so the asada was an easy choice here. It delivered. Fried cheese, tater tots, egg, and an almost comical amount of steak are packed into a burrito with serious heft. I haven't seen this much food crammed into a tortilla since Chipotle in 2006.

What's insideFlour Tortilla, Scrambled Eggs, Tater Tots, Bacon, Cheddar Cheese

Cilantro Mexican Grill operates out of half a Chevron mini-mart in North Hollywood, which is not a knock so much as a Los Angeles credential at this point, and it arrives Reddit-anointed and pre-loaded with hype. The burrito itself is modest, almost undersized, and the first several bites are nothing but scrambled egg, fluffy and clearly cooked with care, which would matter more if a burrito were judged on its opening inch. The bacon, when it finally surfaces, is thin and properly snap-crisp, and easily the best thing in the wrapper. The tater tots are the problem.

What's insideBacon, Cheese, Hashbrowns, Salsa Side, Scrambled Eggs, Untoasted Tortilla

Magnolia Grille in North Hollywood offers a breakfast burrito bursting with potential, yet falls short due to overly soggy bacon and hash browns. Still, the vibrant salsa and generous cheese rescue this burrito, delivering a spark that nearly redeems its shortcomings.
