Breakfast at Olamendi’s: burritos, chilaquiles, and egg plates
Breakfast can be the reason to get everyone around a table. Some people arrive wanting a burrito; others need a look at the egg plates before deciding. Olamendi’s menu includes both, plus chilaquiles with red or green sauce. A few similarly named choices appear in different sections, so it helps to start with the format you want and then check what comes with that particular meal.

Begin with the Grande Breakfast Burrito
The Grande Breakfast Burrito appears in the Breakfast Menu with a meat add-on option. Ask what comes in the standard burrito before choosing any additions. That gives you a clear base to work from when you have a preferred filling or want something left out.
Use the full item name when ordering, and ask which meat choices are available if you would like to add one. Confirm the total for the version you choose. A short conversation at this point can settle the filling, additions, and any ingredient questions together.
Chorizo, potato, and egg: two different formats
Chorizo Potato & Egg appears in the Burritos section. That section describes red or green sauce, rice, black or pinto beans, and melted cheese. Ask how those accompaniments come with your burrito so you know how the meal will be served.
The breakfast selection also includes a Chorizo Potato and Eggs Plate. If you prefer a plated meal, name the plate when ordering. Looking at both descriptions lets you compare the format without getting caught by the similar names.
Make room for chilaquiles and other egg plates
Chilaquiles come with a red or green sauce choice, and the menu notes a meat add-on. The breakfast list also includes machaca meat and eggs, eggs in chile verde sauce, a Mexican omelette, and huevos rancheros. A meat add-on is noted for the omelette too.
Choose the base dish first, then ask about the sauce and additions you have in mind. If a photo brought you to the menu, describe the plate you noticed as well as its name. The chilaquiles pictured above show one presentation; the restaurant can confirm the details of your order.
Let everyone choose their own starting point
For a group breakfast, pass around the breakfast section and make a short list of each person’s dish. Put a sauce choice or requested addition beside the right name. This is more useful than trying to settle everyone’s preferences from memory when it is time to order.
If someone wants to compare a burrito with an egg plate, start with how they would like the meal served. Then read the choices together. There is no need for the whole table to choose the same format.
Check the visit details before setting out
Confirm opening hours and breakfast availability for the day and time you plan to come, especially if a particular dish is the reason for the trip. For a group, mention the number of people and ask about the visit you have in mind.
The Visit page has the Mission Viejo location and contact details. Use it to plan your route and ask any dish questions ahead of time. That leaves the table conversation for choosing what sounds good rather than sorting out the location or schedule.
What comes inside the breakfast burrito?
Ask about the standard Grande Breakfast Burrito filling when ordering, then choose from the available additions. If you mean the Chorizo Potato & Egg burrito instead, use that full name so the restaurant can explain the right item.
Can I change the sauce or an ingredient?
Chilaquiles have a red or green sauce choice, and the Burritos section also describes sauce options. For other changes, ask about the specific dish and the change you would like. Mention ingredient requirements before choosing and keep the restaurant’s answer with that order.
Is breakfast available at the time I want to visit?
Check directly for your intended day and time. Once availability is confirmed, you can choose among the burritos, chilaquiles, and egg plates with a clearer plan for the meal.
