The Secret Breakfast Burrito at Knott’s Berry Farm: A Morning Mission You Won’t Want to Miss

If you're one of those rare creatures who actually enjoys waking up before noon (I know, it's hard to fathom), here's a tip that’ll make your early mornings worth every second. Imagine this: Knott’s Berry Farm—no crowds, just the peaceful hum of the park waking up. And then, a breakfast burrito that’s basically a hidden gem. I'm talking about the breakfast burrito at Ghost Town Bakery.

Now, here's the catch: this burrito isn't exactly on the menu. It's a “while supplies last” kind of deal, which usually lasts about 30 minutes after the gates open. So, if you want in, you’ve gotta be quick. Good news for meal plan holders—this burrito is an eligible item!

I arrived just 15 minutes after opening and was told they had two options left: potato and bacon. That's when I started wondering—what else might they offer if I’d gotten there a bit earlier? Maybe a sausage option? Next time, I’ll find out.

For the record, I ordered one of each (because I wasn’t about to let fate decide). And let me tell you, when it came to telling them apart, I had to really focus. The bacon one could’ve been a little more bacon-y, if you catch my drift. On its own, it was a bit on the bland side. That’s when the real hero of this burrito stepped in: the fire-roasted salsa. Slightly spicy, full of flavor, and the perfect sidekick to elevate the whole dish. Without it? Meh. With it? Yum.

One is the "potato" one is the "bacon". Can you guess which one is which?

And just a heads-up—while the website said the park opens at 10 a.m., I arrived at 9:45 a.m., and the gates were already wide open. If you want that burrito before it disappears, aim to get there even earlier. Like, way earlier. Set your alarm, roll out of bed, and embark on your very own "Burrito Mission." Your stomach (and your Instagram followers) will thank you.
