That Epic Burrito Shack — Restaurant in Huntington Beach

I'm pretty passionate about my breakfast burritos as much as my fried chicken, so this standout shop name was practically calling out for me. In short, the name isn't just for show.

There's three criteria that makes a breakfast burrito amazing in my eyes: crispy potatoes, tender meat, and great salsa. That EPIC Burrito Shack delivered on all three! I loved the burrito and would probably love it even more if I had it on the spot. The tater tots held up over a 20m drive on top of swimming in the salsa, with the carne asada having the right bite to it. I recommend getting the salsas on the side, and all of them because they're all fantastic, but this would keep your burrito from becoming a soupy mess. Even just one inside would risk sogging and tearing up the tortilla. I did this on my second trip and it made the burrito even better. I only wish the carne asada had more of a crust/sear to it with a stronger marinade or seasoning, but I love that carne asada is even an option. It's surprisingly rare to find breakfast burritos with Mexican cuts!

The storefront for That EPIC Burrito Shack is tight. Large enough to make an order, but a bit tight down the line when you're watching them make your food. Luckily it was a bit empty each time I went, but this may cause some discomfort for those not yet ready to be near others or just want some personal space. This is where you'll be letting them know if you want cheese or which salsas you want.

That EPIC Burrito Shack is a welcome addition to the OC food scene. I'm interested to see what they add or change up as...

meh...i came here today just before 6pm to try their breakfast burrito, but supposedly they "just threw out their eggs," which is crazy in and of itself considering the price of eggs these days. So ended up getting the carne asada burrito, and yes, it was good...but to call it "epic" is a bit of an overstatement. In my opinion, what makes their burrito truly stand out is the yellow rice. I don't think I've ever eaten a burrito with yellow rice, but it's now my new go-to. BUUUT...as much as I liked the rice, there just was too much of it and not enough carne asada. The rice to meat ratio was definitely off, and I'm a big ratios guy when it comes to food. It's like come on bro, I ordered & paid for the carne asada burrito, not the veggie. What, did you guys throw that out too?? I want my meat, godd*mnit! Also, they were kinda sheisty on the hot sauce. Maybe I shoulda asked for it on the side, or bought my own bottle of Cholula from their liquor store side. So yea, thanks for the idea of using yellow rice, but for a $12 burrito, it was kind of a letdown. Honestly, I'd have to say Del Taco's line of Epic burritos are far...

Burrito counter located inside of Landmark Liquor store. Take-out only but there are benches outside. The food is a little pricey but the burritos are so big that you can easily make two servings out of each one. The service is pretty fast and they are nice. The burritos themselves are solid, I would call it “Americanized Mexican food” but it’s still a good hearty meal. I typically get the sausage in breakfast burrito, add guac and hot salsa.

The menu is a little bit confusing. Most places you order the base burrito and add meat for an additional cost. This place they default is sausage AND bacon and you have to ask to remove it (or just one of those individually) which they will call a “veggie burrito”, which is not listed on the menu. It’s fine it all works out in the end but it’s a little confusing

They still have a sign saying “due to increase in egg costs, we have had to raise our prices.” Now that egg costs have come back down I am wondering if the menu prices have been lowered back down as well. The burritos come out to about $10 before tax and tip, but as I mentioned earlier you get about two servings...
