Investigators said the suspect broke in through a back window at Nelly's Tacqueria around 2 a.m. Tuesday.
Surveillance cameras then show the man cooking himself a meal and even cleaning up after himself.
The owners say if he wasn't a crook, they'd hire him.
"He knew food safety skills. He would change gloves frequently after handling food and then handling another object," the manager said.
Investigators said the burglar also stole $100, but left $1 in the tip jar.
