Nostalgic, comfort food is what its giving. I used to gather with my friends when I was a school girl and we used to put money together to share a burger and chili fries and this took me back! We had a cheeseburger, chili fries, taquitos with guac and of course classic milkshakes! They were so delicious. Lucky Boy is known for their breakfast burrito but there's so much more!

LUCKY BOY PASTRAMI
Sergio Z.

This is our first time at Lucky Boy and we our trying their delicious items on thier menu especially their famous pastrami. Friends were telling me go to Lucky Boy in Pasadena and try their burgers and especially their two popular items their breakfast burrito and their famous pastrami. Then I heard pastrami I told my wife let's go Lucky Boy and try their delicious mouth-watering pastrami. We arrive there and step in the restaurant and look at their menu displaying on the screen,we look and found what we looking for the pastrami we order it and side salad and two drinks. The interior of the restaurant is really nice with awards and pictures of Pasadena and pictures of Lucky Boy through the years. Couple minutes later they our number my pickup our meal,I notice the pastrami was pretty big but the aroma was overwhelming smell of pastrami. Unwrapped the pastrami smell fantastic it was cut in half then I give the other half to wife. I took a bite of my half pastrami I say to my wife OMG so much flavors in the pastrami and very juicy. The juices of the pastrami is so good,the meat was lean and have some fat but fat is good it bring flavor to pastrami that make so good. My wife love the pastrami and enjoy it. The side salad was very good. Overall we enjoy the pastrami at Lucky Boy we will come back for more pastrami sandwich or try different items from their menu.

Bacon breakfast burrito
N. Danny S.

Breakfast burrito is absolutely massive and a good deal for $12. I only ate half for breakfast and had the other half for lunch. Order came out 3-4 min after ordering which is pretty quick considering how many people were there. Very generous on the bacon and it's super crunchy! The potatoes were a little soft for my preference, tots would've made this thing perfect! The salsa was just mid.

Breakfast Burrito

Lucky Boy A patient of mine was recommending this place as a good breakfast spot for breakfast burritos. I am a big breakfast burrito advocate. I do like them a certain way, though. I gave this place a try early in the morning. Plenty of parking before 8am on a weekday. It had very retro diner vibes and the service was very quick. The burrito was massive, and it was pretty good. I only wished I could choose more than one meat, I ended up with bacon, which was extremely crispy. The potatoes were a bit overwhelming for me. You'll definitely be full after this meal!

Breakfast Burrito
Ingrid R.

I visited this location on a Sunday. The venue has a small private lot so parking is doable. There is also street parking if the lot is full. Ordering is done outside via a window. The menu is vast as it has breakfast & lunch options. I opted for the famous breakfast burrito with bacon & a lemonade. I was not prepared for that burrito. Size is comparable with chipotle. The burrito comes with a side of salsa which was nice. Indoor seating is also available with traditional diner booths. Self serve ketchup, pepper, napkins, & peppers are available as well. The burrito was a 9/10 for me as I felt it needed a bit more seasoning. Overall, a very yummy burrito. The staff were open to questions & very kind. It can be a bit loud as the venue can get packed however the venue has a nice selection of music ranging in genres which was a plus. I def want to come back for the zucchini fries & to try one of the burgers.

​This is an iconic Pasadena location that's been around longer than I've been alive. While the fries are good and the burger is solid, there is nothing special here to set it apart from other local spots. ​The staff is standard and the vibe is your typical retro stand. $20 for a burger, fries, and a drink. The value doesn't justify the hype. It isn't a bad meal, but it certainly didn't earn my praise.

Stumbled upon this place with my husband and we loved it! I got the fried spicy chicken sandwich and he got the avocado cheeseburger. We shared onion rings. Everything was so good, we will be coming back again! The workers here were very kind & welcoming!

Ordering came on a Friday around 10:15am you know this place is loved heavily by the community! Their breakfast burritos live up the size hype especially in this economy! The burrito is legit as big as my face elongated! Food came out fast too! The inside tells so much history! The burrito its self was pretty bland definitely recommend adding a side of ranch or another salsa!

Breakfast Burrito avocado
Leonard K.

This morning, I saw a breakfast burrito online and wanted to eat a breakfast burrito, so I made a commitment to come here and drive up through the wavy 110n freeway to get a burrito I haven't had for close to a decade. I gotta breakfast avocado burrito and the person I went with got a sausage breakfast burrito. It felt like they put an entire avocado in my burrito. It was hot and steamy all the way through and the salsa just makes it so delightful to eat. The sausage breakfast burrito came with 5 whole pieces of sausage. In addition to the main ingredient, there were crispy hash browns, eggs and cheese in the burritos. Plus they were like maybe 3 times bigger than what you'd find at a typical breakfast burrito joint. All for $11.90 in this economy? I feel that pricing is better than practically anywhere in LA for a breakfast burrito nowadays. The service was quick and attentive. There is a diner to eat in with a patio. If I could've ate more, I would've got more things. But it's definitely worth going here to get some extra large, hot and steamy breakfast burritos for sure!

We came by in the afternoon and got a bacon breakfast burrito and a sausage breakfast burrito. We wanted to try the chorizo one, but we came after 10:30am -- next time! The burritos were huge. Lots of potato. Fillings are not evenly distributed so each bite is a mystery. Straightforward diner experience. The booths were cozy. Seemed like a nice place to sit and yap.

Famous burrito w/ sausage
Pamela K.

Breakfast burrito craving net. Though maybe there's more egg and potatoes vs. sausage.... Still yummy and giant. For what you pay plus the salsa, Ismael this a regular spot. Super simple inside an outside, it's definitely a smaller party situation. Or as always, pick up! Parking is alright. Not a ton but enough. Service is fast and friendly. Perfect for a super simpler hole in the wall local joint.

Inside of Carne Asada Burrito
Cher B.

First time here.... Been wanting to come since I saw them on IG. Didnt realize you ordered at a window and hoped for seating inside. My mom was really craving a hot dog and they had them on the menu, so she got that. I ordered the carne asada burrito with guacamole and cheese. I thought I ordered the breakfast version but I did not. We also ordered a med French fry. The fries were bomb! The hit dog was a good size, and she really liked it. Ok, the burrito was huge and stuffed! It had rice, beans, carne, cheese, guac and pico. I could only eat about a quarter of it. The carne was sliced, not chopped as I thought it was be, but good flavor and tender. The gentleman at the window was very nice, but I felt rushed...especially since it was my first time- I had questions. We went in and grabbed a table and waited no more than 10 minutes for our food. Overall, great place and delicious food. Will definitely go back.

It's a HUGE BEAST!!!!
Jeff B.

Stopped by to get a bacon breakfast burrito...definitely enough to share! Very fast service and tasty burrito. These guys make breakfast burrito's....like a well oiled machine!!! Talk about plenty of bacon! If you're super breakfast hungry....you have come to the right place.

Do they have beer battered onion rings?

Lucky boy has their own recipe for their onion rings which are famous since 1961. They do not use beer.

Did the bacon change? The last couple of times getting the breakfast burrito the bacon had a sweet taste to it

I ordered the sausage burrito but don't think they change out the bacon.

How's the rueben sandwich? I was just at the arroyo Pkwy location and I was informed they don't have it?

It's actually a Classic Rueben. And it's very good.

Will you be open the morning January 2nd 2023?

I've eaten there on New Year's Day after the Rose Parade in past years, so I'm almost certain they will be open.

Wait, so can we order breakfast burrito's all day or only until 10:30am??Thanks in advance🙏🏼☀️

Breakfast Burritos should be available all day, only Chorizo stops being served by 11am.

Are dogs allowed?

They are allowed in the outdoor seating area.

Help me decide, fellow Yelpers - for my first time, should I go for a breakfast burrito with pastrami or pastrami chili cheese fries? Are the burritos still served all day…

Get the breakfast burrito HALF BACON/ HALF SAUSAGE and pastrami fries on side!! The burritos are served allday, the signs just old like the owner lol!! Get an orange bang or horchata while you're at it!!!

Does anyone OG from Pasadena know if this is the same Lucky Boy from the late eighties/early nineties that made bomb ground beef tacos? I'm headed down south next week and I need to know if I should detour!

yes it is original lucky boys

Are breakfast burritos all day? my life depends on this answer just FYI

Yes, all day! And it's not cash only. They accept card. I paid with card today. Chip and all.

Can you get the breakfast burrito without meat or are they pre-made?

Made to order. If u want no meat ask for no meat.

This is a must try off of lake in Pasadena…read more Reliably good food every time I have been here. Chips and salsa with WARM chips. A to die for pork tomahawk. Amazing happy hour and I highly recommend the dos gringos. Every detail of that dish is made with thought and precision down to the proportions given and the wonderful crisp on the tortilla. Amazing deal! Be careful when ordering sparkling water because they'll bring you an overpriced bottle of sparkling water instead of just their fountain soda water without asking for clarification. I've made that mistake a couple times. Otherwise, I highly recommend Mercado; you can't really go wrong.

Sunday evening team dinner. Had heard a lot about Mercado - pricey, overrated, etc - all wrong…read more Delicious. But pricey - but it's S Lake Ave. what do you expect? Rents high. Our waiter Gianni's is amazing! Give that guy a raise. The guacamole had onions so I had to pass, and the entire table ate onions and I didn't - so didn't try it. However, the chips and salsa were delicious. The mushroom queso dip is divine. Delicious. Creamy. Addictive. Must order it. I ordered the fillet mignon tacos - they were flattened steak - I'd prefer chopped. Would give the taco more texture. No accompanying sauce - so used the salsa - very good. The avocado was too thick. The mashed potato's were forgettable. I get it - mashed potato's in a Mexican restaurant. But why not add a fusion gravy? Flan for dessert was out of this world. Churros were slightly undercooked. A solid Mexican spot in Pasadena. Would like to try more food options.

Terrible food, terrible ambiance, and super unhelpful staff…read more I came here for my mom's birthday last month, and we definitely wouldn't come back. My mom ordered their camarones al ajillo and the dish literally tasted and smelled like a*s. When we inspected the shrimp, it was not cleaned properly and you could see the poop line in it. When we told the waitress, she said "that's how it comes". So in addition to not being cleanly or hygienic, they're also severely misinformed and shouldn't be serving this dish if they don't know how to clean shrimp properly. But the worst part of the meal was that at the end, when we were inspecting the receipt, we noticed the lady charged us for two margaritas and it was not buy one get one free as they had advertised. The waitress snootily informed us that, oh she didn't take the time to explain it to us because it seemed obvious, but it's not buy one get one free immediately and you can share it with someone else. It's buy one, then once you drink it, you get another one. But if someone else at the table wants to drink it, they will charge you for another margarita. That is very dumb and it was very sneaky and convenient how the waitress didn't explain what it meant. Then, to top it all off, they include a 20% gratuity on parties of 6 or more, and they have the audacity to ask for additional tip! Make sure to check your receipt. We didn't leave a single extra damn dime for this place. Firstly because they already took their 20%, and secondly because the service was absolute trash. Would never recommend coming here, and I hope some better restaurant replaces this one on Colorado soon.

We got the plate of chile relleno with a beef enchilada, the mole plate and a kids quesadilla with rice and beans. 1. The chile in the chile relleno was soooo tiny, the battered egg was big and fluffy which is why it looks big. The rice was crunchy and had pieces of overcooked rice. The beef on the enchilada was on top of the enchilada NOT inside and it tasted like boiled beef with no flavor! I put it to the side. The inside just had a bit of shredded marble cheese. So disappointed. The beans were ok, restaurant quality, canned flavored. 2. The mole was very sweet and although that's not a bad thing, it still didn't have any kind of authenticity in the flavor it was as though it was just packaged sauce dumped on the chicken. 3. The kids quesadilla has bellpeppers and onions inside! Which was not disclosed on the menu. My kid likes bellpeppers but not the green ones and not in her quesadillas... come on. I had to pick them off. Over all I'm glad I live far away from here because it was really bad quality food. The service was nice and attentive. The ambiance was empty and almost abandoned... and I even went on a weekend.

The happy hour special is Monday all day and Tuesday-Friday open until 6pm $2 off full pours. Very family friendly, I always see a couple tables with children and dogs at them. Maybe I'm getting to be an old fuddy duddy but I hate when parents let their kids go free range. Screaming and running around like the establishment is a park these kids becoming trip hazards. There needs to be a revamp of their board game collection. There three boxes of games that looked incomplete or used up, not good with such games as Scrabble and Pictionary.
