Stopped in here today to try the iconic breakfast burrito! First off, there's a parking lot, which makes it very convenient to stop in. When I walked in, the first thing I was struck by was how overwhelmingly hot the location was. It was actually much hotter than outside, and it was about 80 degrees outside. Luckily we were already planning on taking our food to go, but it was difficult to even stand in the restaurant for the amount of time it took to order and get my food. I felt very bad for the staff who have to work in those conditions. The breakfast burrito itself was pretty good. I've had other burritos I liked better, and I wish the potatoes had a bit more flavor, but the size of this thing was huge and for that price you really can't beat it. read more

Lucky Boy is the place in Pasadena you go for a breakfast burrito. I went here because it was voted best places to go for breakfast burrito in LA by Eater. I got their famous burrito with avocado. This is a classic retro place that is very popular on weekends but they have fast service. To keep things simple here is how I rank the burrito. Size 5/5 you could share if you don't feel like being stuffed! Flavor 3/5 could use some extra seasoning, aside from the salsa is the main part of flavoring. Ingredients 5/5 burrito is stacked with plenty of egg, beacon, cheese & hash browns. 5/5 for being cooked to perfection, nice char on the flour tortilla, crispy beacon without being too crunchy and everything else just right. In my opinion best burrito if your a foodie is at Brick & Flour if you're into a burrito with more flavor. Lucky Boy is a great place to go for that nostalgia classic place to visit in Pasadena. read more

Burritos are good. Used to be better. But the customer service has always been pretty bad. Almost everyone that works here is rude and unfriendly. The taste and cost of their food is soon going to not be worth the rudeness you have to deal with when you go here. Too many good alternative options available to deal with them anymore. read more

Absolute best breakfast burrito in all of Southern California. Get extra hot salsa and ask for all meat with cheese and hash brown potatoes. Easily feeds two. read more

As unfortunate it is that I would have to write my first yelp review is unfortunate on how this business more specifically the manager runs this business. As this business has high expectations for being around for many years and has the "best burgers and burritos" is nothing but untrue. I have lived in pasadena for 2 years coming from las vegas the place known for entertainment and customer service. I have been in the food/beverage industry for many years and this place knows nothing but HAIR in food and no customer service what so ever. Trying my third attempt recently of ordering from this place this is the THIRD time i've gotten my order with hair inside my burritos. The only reason why i am now writing a review and trying this place for the third and final time was because im not one to leave reviews and give places a chance to redeem themselves. With the photos i posted with hair, i came back to the restaurant and showed the manager the photos (with the burrito on hand) to request a refund and mentioned this is the third time this has happened. He was already very angry i wanted a refund and i did not want another one made. despite showing him these photos he made me dig through the burrito and pull whoever hair it was out with my bare hands so he can physically see the hair inside the burrito. As disgusting that was for me to need to do so it was also un sanitary and UNPROFESSIONAL. Once I pulled the hair out he turned around to talk to the cooks who was NOT wearing any hair nets and the manager did NOT once apologize. None of the staff members apologized or showed empathy. I only got a refund knowing if i did not pull the hair out i wouldn't have gotten one. The manager who worked on june 28 at 1pm claimed his name was "john" which sounded like a very fake name was overall unprofessional and showed no type of customer service skills. I recommend not here unless you enjoy hair and unsanitary food. The place will definitely be reported to the city of pasadena instead of just writing a yelp review. I hope after today they decide to buy hair nets and gain customer service skills. unprofessional business in all. read more

Been coming here for years. I'd usually get the gyro sandwich, gyro plate, or the cheeseburger. The food has always been really good.

The other lucky boys is better. This one always messes up the order. I wish I could take back my tip. The breakfast burrito is horrible. Put together for a dog not a human. I'm not impressed at all. Never again 3 strikes your out read more

Really Lucky Boy?? REALLY? You have the single RUDEST female cashier I have ever had. Absolutely rude. And then seeing the condition of the dining area. You guys ever heard of this thing called a BROOM? NOT returning. I don't give a crap how good your food is or your Pasadena "reputation" read more

I've heard about their breakfast burritos whenever a discussion about who has the best breakfast burritos starts up! I just happen to be down the street and decided to give them a try. The restaurant is bigger than it looks. It's clean and the staff are friendly. I ordered the Famous breakfast burrito, total plus tax was about $12. The burrito itself was as long as my forearm. It had egg, cheese , potatoes and full length sausage links. It was incredibly good!! Definitely a top 10 breakfast burrito! You have to try it with the red salsa. I'll be back for sure! read more

Came here decided to put one of the proclaim best breakfast burrito to test. Order a ham good size nicely wrapped. It's quite good but the best not sure. I haven't ate a breakfast burrito to die for. Don't think you can go really wrong with making a breakfast burrito and don't see much elevation but it's a good base and originality read more

Came here for the famous burrito (spicy version is only sold here) and the husband was happy. All and I mean all the portions are large so either come hungry or prepare to share. Come for the food don't stay for the cold welcome. To Go is highly recommended read more

This is my second review for Lucky Boy. There are very few places left in the world where you can get a cheeseburger and drink for $10, and Lucky Boy delivers. The bun is large though somewhat flat, and the patty meets the size, large and on the thin side. The customary veggies (lettuce and tomato) were fresh and ample. In a sense there is "too much" lettuce, but I like it that way. It's also easy to remove some. It's a very solid burger at a budget-friendly price. read more

You can never go wrong with a Lucky Boy pastrami. They are sooo flavorful and meaty. They pack enough meat to almost make a whole 'nother sandwich. They are better than The Hat, T-Burgers, JB's, Everest, and Tops. Nobody in the SGV comes close!!! read more

Food was great but service was awful. I went this morning with my family and the ladies at the register were so disrespectful and rude. The ladies gave a whole lot of attitude. She even left me talking by myself when I was just trying to get more sauce for a party of 5. I said can I get more.... And she was turn her back on me. Definitely won't be going back to lucky boys , its not how it used to be like before. read more

Finally got to try this place. It was fast, place was clean. Breakfast burrito: it was massive. However, it lacked seasoning. It was a big carb bite with no flavor if you didn't use hot sauce or salsa. I think I'll need to give it another try to see if mine was an outlier. Pastrami burger: the Pastrami was good. I enjoyed the burger. Not as massive as the burrito. read more

I come in once in awhile for a bacon breakfast burrito. And usually it's packed. And usually the burrito is on point. Today it's not hittin. There's way less crunchy bacon and there's just soooo much oil. Like the second half of the burrito is not edible. It literally taste like cooking oil. My hands smell like I fried tacos. read more

Lucky Boy - Taquitos and fries - Fast Food Near Me - Pasadena, California

Went to get a bacon breakfast burrito. It's always good. I always ask for an extra salsa. I always get shit for it from this lady there. This time she said there's two in the bag in a mean voice I just said ok thanks and left. She didn't give it to me while I just paid over $13 for a burrito. What kind of customer service is that? That burrito used to be $8. Yes inflation. But you can afford to give me one salsa damn. read more

Look no further for the superstar of all breakfast burritos! These stuffed, thick, meaty, burritos the size of a small rolled-up throw blanket will render all other breakfast burritos simply unworthy. A longtime Pasadena staple with another location on Arroyo Blvd., this location is located on Walnut near Old Town Pasadena. This location features its own parking lot and indoor and outdoor seating. They also take phone orders and credit card. Is it fancy by any means? Not at all, but the real star of the show is the aforementioned breakfast burrito. Filled to the brim with your choice of meat (but get the bacon! Don't even think about getting something else), eggs, cheese, and hash brown potatoes. If you're a purist, ask for the hash browns on the side. If you're the type who appreciates deep fried veggies of any kind, try their zucchini fries with ranch. Yes, it counts as a veggie in my book! They also serve a great portion of chili cheese fries, and they do not skimp on the cheese! Yum! So overall: The good: Huge portions, decent pricing, and the best breakfast burrito you will ever have! Free parking, takes credit card, and indoor and outdoor dining options. Also takes large orders in case you want to feed your whole team! The bad: Lines and wait times can be long during peak meal hours. Call your order ahead if you don't want to wait. The ugly: The staff here must be busy, because I've never once seen the restroom be "clean" when I've been there. read more

Huge breakfast burrito with so much filling! Despite the heavy ingredients (bacon, hash browns, cheese) I was surprised by how it wasn't greasy at all. Me and my husband shared one and it was more than enough. I also wanted to try their fried zucchini, but it was still too early in the morning for that, so I'll leave it for next time. read more

First of all, its not a Drive-Thru. Second of all, WOW!!!! the reviews were not lying, the customer service here was HORRID. The young woman in the front was cussing up a storm, talking about her coworkers (who clearly English isn't their first language) and just overall being rude as hell (unless u were a regular which she was nice too at least). I understand you hate ur job but no need to take it out on the customers. I'm assuming it's burn out or dealing with the high volume of unhoused folks in the area that got her in a bad mood. Anyways, food actually slaps (mid fries) but horrible Customer service gets a no from me dawg. 4/10 would return. read more

I walked into Lucky's your order some food and I we treated very nasty by the young lady who was serving the food I We senior citizens man who was behind us he was also senior citizen I don't know if she was having a bad day. She was Mexican with a bad attitude. Yeah addition to that my husband said that his Burger was cold and and the chili fries He didn't return it because he didn't feel like going back out as a senior citizen he wasa little bit . read more

They put the peal of the avocado inside my burrito, it wasn't even a small amount... Haven't been back ever since. Other than that I like that is an open kitchen, which is visually available to the public. The inside is spacious. read more

Been stoked to try this place but live in L.A. and we're rarely in Pasadena. On the way home from The Hat, we stopped in to takeout a spicy breakfast burrito. We went with Louisiana over chorizo. Reheated it the next morning. This burrito was a legit 3 pounds, no joke. Yes, we did weigh it on a scale. They definitely aren't stingy with the protein, and hashbrowns. They slightly skimp on the egg randomly so I'd say the ratio could use some work. I don't normally complain about packing the meats but it was a little too much long-wise sliced hot link for my liking (maybe they could dice it instead?) especially when some of the edges were a bit over cooked and hard ish. Also, for having "spicy" in the name, it really wasn't spicy. They should add jalapeños or something. Was overall pretty good and definitely got me and my dude full while splitting it. For $12 I'd say the portion is super generous, but it could be more flavorful. They give you 2 salsas which is nice of them as I didn't even have to request it. The strawberry milkshake, though! Real strawberries. Real milk. Real damn decadent. Easily one of the best shakes I've had, and it was pretty big and under 6 bucks. You know the joints that make a milkshake the price of an entree for no reason. They're even sweet enough to give you a scoop of vanilla on top. This was a very unexpected treat. I still have half of it in the freezer and I can't wait to drink it later :P read more

I've been coming to this location for maybe over 15 years and it's never disappointed. I always get either the famous breakfast burrito, supreme breakfast burrito, or California burrito. It's enough for two meals and they don't skimp on the protein or fillings at all. Definitely the best breakfast burrito in Pasadena! read more

I always order the chef salad here. While the portions are HUGE, they do not cut the vegetables into a reasonable size no matter how many times I ask them to cut them into bite size. The tomatoes, onions, cucumbers and even the ham and turkey meat are so big you cannot fit them into your mouth and I always end having to spend 10 minutes to finish cutting the the vegetables myself so that I can actually eat the salad. When you ask them to cut the salad into eatable size they give you this look like you are asking them to do the impossible. I just hate trying to eat pieces of vegetable that are too big to even fit in my mouth. But otherwise the salad is very good. They just dont really believe in completing the salad preparation and you will have to cut your vegetables yourself. read more

My friend told me she'd heard about these insane breakfast burritos in Pasadena. So when I was out there after a run a few weeks ago and was hungry, this is where we needed to go. I got mine with pastrami. When the burrito came out, I was blown away by the heft of it all... GIANT and HEAVY! Pastrami was delicious and there was plenty of it. I wish the hashbrowns inside had been cooked a bit crisper and had a bit of seasoning. Plenty of eggs. Definitely could not eat in one go, so I took the rest home and reheated in the air fryer the next day. We met the owner who was super charming. No-frills, but good food. read more
