I carry seasoning salt in my car for places like this. I got the breakfast burrito as soon as it was ready, yet not a hint of smoke when I bit into it. I got extra chorizo (green and red) and it still was overpowered by the other ingredients in both taste and texture. You never get any solid, seared chorizo chunks here..the texture looked like wet bread crumbs. And if the chorizo ever touched a skillet I'd be shocked. I saw a review saying be careful of the Habanero salsa because its "so spicy"...man that thing was like red water. What I'm gathering is from the reviews, neighborhood, and the hip crowd waiting is: these are burritos for gringos. Everytime I go to one of these cool, hip, "modern" ethnic places I end up learning a hard lesson. I should've just gone to one of those old mom and pop joints with one of those numbered menus on the wall.
Basic burritos, not a lot of flavor or egg. If you're white, you'd like it, latino- you're better off making it at home. Plus it's like $15 a burrito. It's a waste.

I have to agree with Willie F's review here. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this ain't it. I know how hard it can be to make authentic chorizo and chilaquiles, so I can understand cutting some corners but...
Regardless of the flavor, paying $17 for a bag full of liquid that I had to babysit in my car until I got home was bothersome enough, but the soggy chilaquiles were just the icing on top.

Tried to order but they ignored me. Guess I wasn’t white enough 🤷♂️

The chorizo is unpalatable, poorly cooked and without everything they say they put in it, zero cheese, egg and so on. Horrible to the point that I had to throw it away. Expensive aside…
Hit the spot! Legendary burritos! Just go!

Unfortunately I'm leaving Los Angeles, but Chori Man is one of the restaurants I'm going to try to eat at next time I visit. Really good stuff here, It's kind of experimental and fusion-y with out getting away from being authentic. These chori beans are so freaking good. I have Never had a special here that I didn't like. It's only open until 2:00 and the only seating is some movable chairs just outside, but it's perfect for a to-go bag to take to One of San Pedro's many nearby parks. I also appreciate that the The owners are often there, tinkering with new dishes and engaging with the customers, and they seem to treat their staff very well. I just drove from bellflower mostly to go to this place because it's such a memorable dining experience ?

One of the best breakfast places I've had in LA in a long time. The lady who was working the counter was super helpful and welcoming. The strawberry horchata is so bomb, so if you're getting a drink, get this one. The chori man burrito with habanero maple bacon is where it's at. I would highly recommend.

Actually met up with the owner Humberto to get some car parts off him and my wife and I met him at his business location. He was a blast to converse with and made us lunch to go which was amazing. House special chicken sandwich I believe is what he called it. Great guy!

The best breakfast burrito in town! I love their vegetarian and vegan options. It’s also nice that you can buy frozen chorizo to go. Everything is made fresh sometimes there’s a wait but it so worth it! You can tell they use quality ingredients. They make fresh strawberry horchata and other drinks that are refreshing. The staff is friendly the kitchen is super clean. That gives me peace of mind.
