You Can Get a Pretty Good Breakfast Burrito At The Stand, But No Orange Juice
The Stand's Breakfast Burrito
As previously blogged, The Stand in Woodland Hills launched it’s breakfast menu and extended hours back on March 1st. I was finally able to get in there last weekend to check it out, and as promised I had the Breakfast Burrito. The burrito contains eggs, your choice of sausage or bacon (I went with sausage), pepper-jack cheese, stand potatoes, avocado, and a side of salsa. At $6.95, it’s not necessarily the cheapest breakfast burrito in the world, although by comparison to sit-down restaurants’ offerings like The Cheesecake Factory’s Sunrise Fiesta Burrito (which is quite huge) at $TBD, it’s very affordable.
On the plus side, I’d say that The Stand’s Breakfast Burrito is actually very delicious. The best thing about it is actually tortilla they are using. It has a quality about it that is almost sweet, and it really adds a level of flavor to the burrito beyond the contents. The salsa was also quite tasty. The Stand also has little packets of Tabasco sauce which I enjoyed with child-like enthusiasm, even going so far as to take a few home.
One downside that I can see to the breakfast at The Stand is the lack of Orange Juice on the menu. I ended up having a fountain drink, which is okay for me, but I can see some people being turned off by that. They do however have coffee, bottled soft drinks, and as mentioned, the fountain drinks. It seems like they are getting asked a lot about the OJ issue, so perhaps they will add it to the menu. I mean, after all, to many folks orange juice at breakfast, particularly at a restaurant, is like turkey on Thanksgiving – you just gotta have it. Am I wrong?
All in all, it was a nice pleasant atmosphere and not too crowded at all for a Saturday morning, so I think I will definitely be back for more.
