You Can Get a Pretty Good Breakfast Burrito At The Stand, But No Orange Juice

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.
