It was was 7:45 AM on a Friday.  I'd had three cups of coffee and no food at that point. The caffeine had reached the place in my bloodstream where it had begun to penetrate my brain.  I found myself entering the beginning stages of "coffee tweaker mode" desperately trying to regain control of my mind.  My thoughts were interrupting themselves, so I knew that I had to get some food quickly to absorb the caffeine and bring the coffee induced psychosis to a halt.

Anyway, I found myself in the middle of Santa Ana and called a friend who lived nearby.  I asked him to hook me up with a good local burrito connection.  He sent me to Pico de Gallo on 17th St.  I ordered the breakfast burrito with sausage and was extremely impressed that the restaurant had a full salsa bar at 7:50 AM.

The burrito had eggs, hash browns, sausage and cheese. To be honest, the hashbrowns were oily and there were way too many potatoes in the burrito.  The sausage wasn't special and there were no beans (which is important to me).  The size was pretty good, clocking in at 2 1/2 fists.  The biggest problem was that I couldn't finish the burrito as the bottom corner was soggy with oil.  I'd eat at this place again, but I'm not in any rush.
