Tried Chori Man in San Pedro and it was an interesting experience. The variety of chorizo options is cool and my friend and I went with the maple chorizo and the chicken chorizo. Neither of us loved our choices once we tried them. The sweetness in the maple chorizo did not blend well for me and the overall flavor was on the lower end. Still edible but not something I would go back for.
They charged a dollar for a cup of water which felt absurd. The total came out to sixteen dollars which felt high for what it was.
Overall, the food was fine but not something I would reorder and the service issues made the visit less enjoyable.

Mixed Experience, But Worth Another Visit
On our last morning in San Pedro, we were craving breakfast burritos and decided to try Chori Man based on its great reviews and proximity to our hotel.
We ordered the green chorizo sausage egg burrito and the pork chile verde breakfast burrito. Unfortunately, the green chorizo burrito was underwhelming—the sausage lacked flavor and didn’t enhance the burrito. While the burrito itself was fresh, warm, and hearty, the chorizo didn’t deliver the punch we were hoping for.
On the other hand, the pork chile verde burrito was flavorful, meaty, and well-balanced. It was fresh and satisfying, and definitely the highlight of the meal.
While we didn’t quite get the full “Chori Man” experience this time, we’re open to coming back and trying other menu items. The place has potential, and we’re hopeful the next visit will be more impressive.

Fantastic flavor, great attention to detail and quality ingredients make this my favorite breakfast spot in the area. Get a coffee from the shop next door and it’s a whole delicious experience. The service is good if not fast, but I’m happy with the freshly prepared burritos. Their sauces/salsa are also excellent and full of flavor. They are take out only with no seating area except for some plastic stools on the sidewalk.

This is tucked in a residential area. So parking might be a challenge. I’ve searched for the green chorizo for quite a while now, so when I finally discovered chori-man, I was really excited to try. Got there about 7:45am, and found parking in the front, ( which is only 15 minutes) I had the the green chorizo breakfast burrito ( I should of added beans) the potatoes, chorizo, and the eggs were all cooked separately. The egg, was a fried egg, cooked with a little yolk.. it was great. The soyrizo breakfast burrito was flavorful as well. Neither were greasy. When I’ve had soyrizo prior to this, it usually seemed like the flavoring was masking the soy. But the chori- soyrizo breakfast burrito had great flavor. The price was a bit high, but quality was good. The size was, I felt a little small, but I’ll definitely be back when in the San Pedro area. We traveled 30/45 minutes to get there. Since it’s only take out, we opted to eat with a scenic view of the harbor and ocean..great ambience ..they sell chorizo links and in bulk. I decided on getting bulk green, and maple habanero, look forward to making it for breakfast.
Update:
So I made the habanero maple chorizo this morning, and it was awesome!! It had a hint of maple and then the flavor and then finally the heat. It was not over powering and was very flavorful. I finally know what real chorizo is or at least what it’s supposed to be. It’s definitely not that store bought chorizo that liquefies into orange grease- chori-man chorizo is some darn good chorizo, I will definitely be back for more

When I tell you I had the best chile verde of my LIIIIIIFE here!!! Hands down, without a question, the best. The meat was sooo tender!!! I couldn’t stop eating it! Soooo delicious. Everything on their menu is amazing!!! The burritos, breakfast sandwich, the salsas, the beans, house made tomatillo ranch, chips with their own house made chorizo seasoning, scratch made soups! OMG and did I mention their jalapeno relish! Slap that on everything!

Had the Chicken Adobada Burrito, and it was amazing! Both hot sauces it came with were a wonderful addition. Highly recommend, looking forward to returning to try other parts of the menu!

Chori-Man is a chorizo specialist tucked into a residential neighborhood in the middle of San Pedro. While a bit off the beaten path for me, I’ve now been twice, and if I lived in San Pedro, this take-out spot would be a problem for any aspirations of mine for a healthy lifestyle.
Chori-Man’s breakfast burritos are becoming legendary because they’re awesome, especially with the house’s maple habanero chorizo. I consider myself lucky to have stumbled upon Chori-Man’s tortilla-wrapped communion of spicy and sweet maple habanero sausage, sautéed crispy breakfast potatoes, and fried eggs in a rich and spicy sauce made of the mixture of runny yolk from the eggs, melted cheese, and sweet maple-infused grease from the chorizo. Calling this the best breakfast burrito I’ve had in Southern California does it a disservice, as it may also be the best all-around burrito I’ve had in L.A.
What else makes it so good? For their burritos, Chori-Man uses a steamed flour tortilla, similar to a true Mission-style burrito — I’m not talking about the Chipotle version of “steamed tortilla,” but rather properly steamed tortillas that become sticky enough that their edges seal and bind together, holding all of the ingredients in place, so that the burrito can be easily be lifted and eaten with one’s hands without spilling or breaking. The steaming process in Mission-style burritos affects the flavor of the tortilla in addition to the texture, making the tortilla more a part of the burrito and harmoniously fusing it with the burrito’s innards.
Let’s put it this way: Chori-Man’s “Maple Habanero Chorizo Breakfast Burrito” was so good that, earlier this week, I woke up on my birthday and drove 2 hours to San Pedro so I could have it again, as I could think of nothing that I more wanted for breakfast. That’s right, I allowed myself an unlimited budget and drive time and, out of anything I could have eaten for breakfast anywhere in Southern California on my birthday, I chose the breakfast burrito at Chori-Man (and then drove to Rocio’s Mexican Kitchen for “Chilaquiles con Mole Manchamanteles,” but that’s a future review).
Of course, Chori-Man also serves their chorizo in lightly-griddled corn tortillas in taco form. My experience with their tacos has been mixed, with the “Maple Habanero Chorizo Taco” being the best of the bunch, by far, for similar reasons to why the breakfast burrito made with the same sausage is excellent. I recommend punching it up with the “Habanero Salsa” available in the shop, which is more “medium” than “fire,” but adds some fresher flavors to the taco.
The “Tolucan Green Chorizo Taco” is my second favorite chorizo taco here, mild, and reminding me more of a garlicky Polish sausage than Mexican chorizo. The “Argentinian Chorizo Taco” was also decent, ironically the closest to what I think of when I think of traditional Mexican chorizo — salty and savory, but here much leaner. I recommend the house’s sweet and spicy “Jalapeño Relish” on this taco. The “Zacatecano Red Chorizo Taco” is dominated by a heavy amount of clove flavor that I didn’t care for, and the “Chipotle Braised Beef Taco” tasted way too musky, almost non-beef like. I don’t know what happened, but I don’t recommend it.
My advice? Stick with the breakfast burrito, it takes something I normally don’t care much for (chorizo) and elevates it to an essential component in a well-executed edible package of perfection.

Get the Chori-Man breakfast burrito! The green chorizo is pretty good, but my favorite is the braised beef. I tried a taco of all the meats except the red. Maple was a little off putting for me, too much Maple flavor. Argentinian was interesting, think it would be better in the burrito. The jalapeno relish is really good! Street parking in neighborhood, outdoor seating.

Best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. The fried egg with runny yolk is genius so delicious and had the right amount of potatoes (not like other places with 75% potatoes) but be prepared to wait ,they’re really busy i went on a Sunday. Phone orders is the way to go Still worth the wait

A delicious breakfast burrito that really hit the spot. Runny eggs were perfect. The owner was outside talking to everyone, showing a lot of pride in his store and food, that was really great to see ☺️
