It's Sunday morning and my friend Max and I are on our way back from Big Sur, where we had met up with some friends the day before to go camping. We didn't arrive until around 8:30pm because we had gone to the second round games of The Dance (NCAA Tourney) in San Jose. Well after a not-very-good night of sleep, we got up early helped pack the stuff up and headed back to the Penninsula. Since I wasn't able to get a Breakfast Burrito the day before, I thought it would be a good time to go and find one. One thing that wasn;t on my side was that my Droid had died the night before, and so i couldn't use it to search for breakfast restaurants (this also meant that I wouldn't be able to take a picture of the Breakfast Burrito). So we veered towards Pacific Grove and started searching for places that might be able to quench my Breakfast Burrito hunger. We ended up finding a place called Breaker's Cafe, with signs in the windows exclaiming delicious breakfast! I'M IN.

We get in there smelling of cold fire smoke and trees and looking like a lumber jack and an out of place ghetto white kid and find a place to sit near the back. It's a smaller place, but smells good and has the feel of a hardworking diner. I immediately snatch up a menu and head towards the most likely position to find a Breakfast Burrito - low and behold, ANOTHER restaurant can't seem to understand that F**** Breakfast Burritos are incredible!!! If I'm not so tired at this point I would stand up and shout to the sky WHYYYYYYYYYYY?????? Instead, I sip my rather strong coffee (two cups got me incredibly light headed and shaky - the good stuff) and find a way to rig a Breakfast Burrito. I finally come across an item on the menu that will likely do the trick - the name of this dish is

BIG SCRAMBLED GOOEY MESS - Side of Tortillas(2)

Unfortunately, I do not have a picture to show you this scrambled mess, suffice to say that it is exactly as it says - and a lot of it. I took this gooey scramble and shoved as much as I could into the tortilla, drenched it in Pepper Plant, and chomped it down. What made this burrito really good was how everything was smashed together into one big messy scramble. While meant to be eaten alone, I feel like putting it into a tortilla is the way to go for this one. What I can't understand is how they couln't think of putting a Breakfast Burrito like this ON THE MENU?? I was close to asking the waitress, but again, too tired to care.

I was only able to eat just one of the Breakfast Burritos (two tortillas as sides) so I took home the second one and ate it for dinner. The amount of food that was provided created two giant Breakfast Burritos, so actually a good price for the amount of food. And it ended up being pretty decent, though nothing out of the ordinary. There is only so much one can say about a Breakfast Burrito unless the ingredients vary. But the fact that you have to take an alternative route to get to your Breakfast Burrito destination is unique in itself, and didn't disappoint. The service was fairly slow, but there was only (seemingly) one waitress this day and so I can't blame her for taking her sweet time. She was definitely fast with the coffee - maybe that's why I was tweaking a little bit with lots of coffee and nothing in my stomach.

Rating: ******* 7/10

Nice atmosphere , strong coffee, pretty good burrito. Nice.
