The best breakfast burrito in LA is at Tacos Villa Corona, a small little storefront on Glendale Blvd. It's run by a mother and daughter, I believe, and they have one of the best-seasoned burrito grills in the city. I think that one of the things that makes their breakfast burrito (on the menu as the pappas burrito) so good is that their potatoes are very soft and mix well with the other ingredients so it becomes like one mess of flavor.
Here's a blurb on them from ChowHound.
Also after you order, be sure to put your name on the back of a raffle ticket and put it in their fishbowl. They draw three names every week, write them on a paper plate, and these winners get a free lunch. When I went in last weekend I saw my friend Kime Buzzelli won. If you don't know Kime Buzzelli (artist, illustartor, and founder of the now defunct Show Pony in Echo Park), check out her fashion/art/cat blog here and her Etsy page here.
My tradition after going to Tacos Villa Corona is to goto Pampered Birds next door and check on the parrots, the parakeets, and the toucan. They wouldn't let me photograph in the store, but if you're ever in the neighborhood, go in and see what they have in here. The toucan is particularly cool.
Of course, I also like the sun that is slurping up the rainbow, presumably consuming the birds that ride it. The birds, for their part, are oblivious to their fate, apparently too busy strutting. Only the green one on the end suspects anything is wrong.
A few buildings down from Pampered Birds is a tattoo removal place. Now that you're an investment banker rather than a roadie, do you need to get rid of that tattoo of a peace sign with wings on your hand? Yeah, these guys know your dilemma and can help.
