I love the breakfast burrito at the Cantina! I always went here instead of Freebird's. The only problem with the Cantina is that it's in Isla Vista and when you're in Isla Vista you're wise to wear...

This is the best breakfast burrito I have ever had. It would have gotten 5 stars but it is a little pricey for a burrito and the sausage wasn't very good. I would go for the bacon burrito again...

The thing about this breakfast burrito is that it doesn't need meat to make it great. Most places load up on bacon, sausage or ham just to make it more savory. Cantina accomplishes this with their...

The best thing they could have done for themselves (and for me) is making the breakfast burritos available all day. They used to only serve it until noon (or something ridiculous like that) and then...

I also miss this place. Only for the breakfast burritos. I'm sad they started serving them all the time AFTER I graduated. The owner is pretty rad, there all the time, and often shops at IV Market.
