Go-to All Day Breakfast spot - Edit
Ali Baba is a cheap, no-frills option for a quick meal between classes. It is located in very close proximity to campus and their meals are very affordable for a college student’s budget. You walk in, order at one of the iPads or ahead at davisalibaba.com, and the staff will call out our name when your order is ready and you pick it up from the front counter.
Read moreMy go to is their veggie breakfast burrito which is stuffed with two scrambled eggs, steak cut fries, avocado, grilled mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, honey, tapatio hot sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese. They cook their burritos in bulk so they are ready to go as soon as you order. However, they are open to making you a fresh burrito that you can customize to your liking which is ready in about 10 mins. I usually opt out of the honey in my burrito as I don’t like the added sweetness. If you are vegan you can replace the scrambled eggs with extra avocado or falafel for an extra charge, and opt out of the cheese and honey. They also offer a falafel burger which you can make vegan by holding the mayo, as well as a vegan veggie platter, and a vegan falafel gyro if you don’t want a burrito.
I like topping my burrito with their jalapeno ranch and extra tapatio hot sauce which are self serve at the front counter. The burrito is very large and tasty for costing only $10. However, the ingredients aren’t very well balanced. There are too many fries and not enough of the other ingredients particularly the cheese and the avocado. The burrito can be a bit dry so I recommend topping it with the aforementioned sauces.
I highly recommend signing up for their rewards program because when you buy 6 burritos you get your seventh one free.
Pros: Great Value, Friendly Staff

Easy Vegan Burrito - Edit
It’s super easy to fully customize your order. There’s a plethora of substitution options, it’s all on the ordering iPads so you don’t have to make any special verbal requests. The burrito I got was the veggie one with no cheese, no honey, and swap eggs for falafel (adds $0.75). Unfortunately, it lacked a lot of flavor. It desperately needs a sauce. Like. SO BAD.

bad vegan options - Edit
your vegan options are any modified burrito with half the ingredients. Everything has meat, eggs, cheese, or honey. Not worth it when there are so many better places across the street

Veggie Bfast Burrito - Edit
The bfast burrito here rocks. Ask for no dairy and sub falafel (or extra something else) for the eggs and enjoy!! If you dont do honey mention that too as it's in the sauce.
