Description

This Costa Mesa eatery draws crowds mostly for its breakfast burritos, massive bricks too heavy on the eggs and too light on the sharp Cheddar, and crunchy, greasy hash browns (the kinds of toasted tater ribbons you can build diner empires on) but still damn good. The filling, muy bueno breakfast tacos diverge from the San Antonio-style classic by using corn tortillas instead of flour and bacon instead of shredded beef.

    After closing down the clubs, pretty much any place still serving food--especially breakfast--is wonderfully gratifying, right Unfortunately, night owls usually only have random fast food franchises or nasty Denny's to pick from.

    After closing down the clubs, pretty much any place still serving food—especially breakfast—is wonderfully gratifying, right? Unfortunately, night owls usually only have random fast food franchises or nasty Denny's to pick from. Then along came Rooster. During the weekend, this diner is open until 3 a.m. The décor isn't much to look at with those bleary eyes (bare and minimal, with aluminum chairs), but the menu is full-range from sandwiches to salads, and everything's under $9. But what Rooster is most famous for is the breakfast burritos. Choose either bacon or sausage, and you get a jumble of heaven with cheese and crispy potatoes wrapped in a warm tortilla. Need another reason why this place is so awesome? Every table comes with its own bottle of Tapatio.
