There's no question breakfast burritos are one of the most beloved breakfast items in LA. The prolific gut-busting morning meal can be found here and here and here, but what about the breakfast taco? The egg-filled tortillas that are so ubiquitous on the streets of Austin just aren't that easy to find in the City of Angeles, but after some digging, we found these spots for those who want to eat tacos at all hours of the day:

And with plenty of options that range from chorizo to potato to hot dog, there’s a little something for everyone.
