If you're going here, there's only thing to get. The breakfast burrito. In my opinion, it's the best breakfast burrito in LA. They're massive portions and fairly priced for the amount of food you get. Could easily be two meals in one. The ham, bacon, or sausage are all good options. You can even do all three if you want. read more

Quick service, easy process! Love the classic Pasadena old school rose bowl posters and keeping it OG! The breakfast burrito is a must get highly recommend this old school spot! read more

One burrito is enough for two people! The burritos are big with an equal amount of ingredients, lots of bacon eggs and hashbrown! Their green sauce goes perfectly with the burritos read more

Not as good as we had hoped. We were in Pasadena not long ago and decided to walk over for a snack between lunch and dinner. I ordered a burger and my husband had a patty melt. When we ordered the woman said that fries and drinks were included. When I got my bill I saw that she had upgraded the order and charged for them. Food was unremarkable wouldn't recommend them. With all of the choices in Pasadena, we won't be back. read more

Lucky Boy is known for its legendary Breakfast Burritos but their Grilled Sourdough might be the real highlight! Thick ham slices, egg and melted cheese were great! I will absolutely go back.for more! Also their other egg sandwich comes with mayo, lettuce and tomato and is a little lighter than the grilled sandwich. Also an excellent option. Lots of complaints about the service here but on our visit it was fine. Counter service order and pickup. No frills but not bad. read more

Not really sure what all the fuss is about when it comes to their breakfast burrito. I ordered the famous breakfast burrito with bacon and wondered how such a thing could be considered famous. Infamous? Maybe. It was mostly potato and leaking grease, and there was a thin line of egg around the inside of the tortilla. Not even really a breakfast burrito, just a potato burrito with some egg and bacon. I just took it to-go because that's all that was allowed at the time, and honestly that's just fine because I don't think dining there would have added to the experience. For ~$10 and all the hype, I expected a lot better. I may be back to try other items but I am NOT ordering this burrito again. read more

An updated review: as always, food is amazing. I get the sausage breakfast burrito, husband gets bacon. We always love it. I left a review a couple of years ago about the service being lack luster. We went last week and the service was so much better. We got breakfast burritos for dinner and it was not busy at all! read more

Really disappointing experience this time. I've been coming around for years but I haven't been here in a few months. I'm not sure if they've changed their pastrami recipe but the pastrami today was really grisly, didn't have as good of a flavor, the bread was harder than normal. It was actually really disappointing. I had the privilege of paying almost $30 for a pastrami sandwich, chili cheese fries, and a soda. I don't know if I'll be coming back here again soon. On the plus side, the service of the counter was fast and the food came out quickly. The tables were relatively clean read more

My first time in a while at this Lucky Boy location. Lucky Boy is known for their famous breakfast burrito but we decided to try different items. The fried zucchini is hands down the best when compared the other local burger joints in Pasadena (hint starts with a T). The zuchinni tastes fresh and the batter is excellent, feels like I'm actually eating something good for me, until I dip in in the super tasty ranch. The BLT was more B than L or T, definitely harkens to their overflowing bacon breakfast burrito. Will visit this location more, now that I know it has the same quality as the Arroyo Parkway location. read more

We usually buy breakfast burritos from here on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Last Sunday we arrived a little later than usual on Sunday. I noticed the owner was there taking orders. We ordered a Bacon Breakfast and it was filled with potatoes- like 50%. It was not good. I am thinking that when the owner is there, the cooks are afraid to put the usual amount of meat and eggs! Anyway, this is not good when you pay almost $12 for a burrito! Good luck! read more

Like some other more recent reviews, I don't get the hype. Someone suggested this place to me and I went out of my way to try it, but it wasn't good at all. I've had muchhh better breakfast burritos around the city, and my currently favorite one still stands at Tito's Bakery in Long Beach. The ratios were definitely off on the burritos here when it came to egg, meat, and potato portions. Also, the potatoes here are mushy and don't complement the burrito well at all. I also wish they had more options like machaca and chorizo. Definitely would not return. Also, the place was filthy when we came here. Trash on the floors and overall it was just feeling outdated and gross. read more

What a great place! Very nice employees and holy smokes the portions are insane! If you get a breakfast burrito you will need to split it with someone! The tacos are hhhuge!! Quality ingredients and fast service. John treated my kiddos to some ice cream too! What a wonderful man! read more

They make great breakfast burritos and serve them all day. The burritos have eggs, potatoes and either bacon or ham. I always get the bacon in mine. The establishment does not skimp on ingredients and I can only eat a half of one in a sitting. The fried zucchini is also great here but it is in a shareable size. I usually share the zucchini with my friends though. Ranch dressing is a must for dipping. I recommend this family owned business. This location has lots of free parking in their lot. There a few outside table and inside seating as well. read more

We are up here helping out with fire cleanup, and I needed to feed my crew. One of their breakfast burritos means you get to skip lunch. They are so big ask for the hashbrowns extra crispy on the bacon breakfast burrito. You will not be disappointed in some of the best red salsa I've had in a while. read more

Hands down the best breakfast burritos from the famous to the spicy sausage to the supreme, each of which can definitely be shared by two. What separates this location from the original on Arroyo is how you are greeted when placing your order. The woman who takes your order here makes you feel like you're an inconvenience, she is the prime example of why I don't normally tip when ordering at a counter. But not reason enough for me not to come back again and again. Highly recommend coming here for their breakfast just don't expect a welcoming smile or greeting. read more

Friendly staff, quick service and a great value! They have the best zucchini fries i've ever had and great chili cheese fries! read more

Had to go see what all the fuss was about with the breakfast burritos! Got there on a Saturday at lunchtime. There was a line out the door to order, but with social distancing, it seemed longer than it was. In reality, the line was about 5 people and it moved pretty quick. I grew up eating breakfast burritos from J&S in Montebello, which I cuz the beans they put in their burritos are so darn good (supposedly, they add chorizo to their retried beans) . Sorry, I digressed! So I ordered three famous breakfast burritos with bacon to take home. Opened the box and stared right at three huge burritos! I cut mine in half cuz there's no way I could eat a whole one! Boy was I disappointed! I could see there is a huge amount of potatoes!! There was also a thin layer of egg and couldn't see any bacon ! However, all that said, I did scoop out a little of the potatoes and proceeded to eat it-with salsa on it of course. And okay, it was two weeks since I ate any carbs, but the burrito actually tasted good. I tasted the egg and there was a sufficient amount of bacon. So I was conflicted between 3 and 4 stars. I don't care for all the potatoes but it did taste good. Was I just starving? Or because I hadn't ate any carbs in two weeks? Guess I'll have to go back again and figure that out! read more

Lucky boy has been a Pasadena institution since 1961. They are well known for their breakfast burritos but my friend swears by the patty melt so I got it. It was delicious, greasy goodness for under $6. The have several outdoor tables out back in a covered patio and one table outside in the front. read more

In a never ending search for the best breakfast burrito, I try highly recommended Lucky Boy. This location has parking, indoor/outdoor seating and is located close to the fwy. My bacon breakfast burrito was enormous, probably a pound or more. Good ratio of eggs, potato's and bacon. Hot and fast, place opens at 6:45 and I was eating in my car by 6:50. Comes with a red salsa which I don't use. As I've heard from others, the bacon clearly is deep fried and although it doesn't detract from the flavor too much, it does make it very hard and chewy, almost like jerky. Good burrito, massive size, enough for two. Nowhere near the best but a great value at only $12.00 read more

Lucky Boy! The question is... Who doesn't like coming here? I certainly do! I've been dinning her for 40 Years and that being said doesn't take away from the iconic moments over the years I've spent coming to Lucky Boy. This isn't your 5 Star Restaurant in Beverly Hills or New Port Beach, this is Luck Boy! That being said has some of the very best Burgers in town and always has been since the very first time I came here back in 1983. Luck Boy is a staple of Pasadena and they have good food especially the Burgers, Fries, Chili Cheese Fries, Onion Rings, Fried Zucchini, Sandwiches, Salads, Mexican Food, and last but not least Breakfast. The Make Over now certainly makes the Restaurant look great and much better than before from the time I grew up coming here for the first time back in the 80's. I absolutely love this place it has to be one of the best places to come and enjoy Good Ole Fashioned Burgers done right! One can't loose coming here because everything is made so good and always delicious just about 99.9 % of the menu is good. In other words (0.1%) is a Bad Day. However that being said the Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner is perfect especially if one wants a good Burger, Sandwich, and or Mexican Food. I absolutely enjoyed every time I've been able to eat here and it's always been a pleasure to come in or stand outside, order and enjoy the best this restaurant has to offer in Pasadena, California. Thanks Luck Boy for still being and hopefully in the next 40 years you'll still be here and if you are which I hope then I'll be 90 sitting down have my Burger and Fries. Sincerely, Wes read more

I don't usually go to this lucky boy. I was excited that there is one so close the my appointment I had on walnut. The experience started out excellent as I walked in glazing at all the food on the tables. I was craving a breakfast burrito. I couldn't decide bacon or sauce. I got the sausage but wished I had asked for both. The burrito is 12.00. Kind of a lot for what you get. But a craving is a craving. I asked for extra crispy has browns they didn't come that way they were soft and mushy. It looks so yummy but I expected more potatoes and I guess was disappointed for the value and taste. If it was larger maybe I could see paying that. The parking was easy in and out. The place is average that's why it got the 3 stars. read more

Best breakfast burritos! Place is clean and easy to order. We had a breakfast ham burrito and a carne Asada breakfast burrito. The service is quick and employees are professional and very nice. The burritos were humongous! Both filled with a lot of potato's, eggs, and meat! It's one of the best carne Asada we have had. Tender and cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back to get breakfast burritos! read more

Go to the other one on Arroyo Pkwy. The angry lady behind the counter here looks like she hates everyone, although it might have the same business name the food is bomb at that one and fast great service read more

The service is slow and rude. I ordered a plain hotdog, fries and a small diet coke. It took less than 5 minutes to get home. The fries were stone cold, the hotdog had onions, relish, and mustard. I can't eat it now. The bun is soaked with relish juice. The Diet Coke is good. I just threw $10 in the trash. I am very hungry and disappointed. The trash bin in the front was overflowing. I haven't had any issues there until today. read more

One of the best breakfast burritos in LA hands down! A large portion of bacon and on point!

We drove 55 minutes to try this place. I found out about this place via instagram. It looked so appealing that I woke my husband up to try out their breakfast. One was overly greasy to flavorless, fries weren't even edible old fries and dry. We had sat outside on the patio, we were at least comfortable enjoying the environment, till beggers came to bug. Well the food didn't go to waste in our end. We gave it to them. Service as in the cashier was great. Service in maintaining tables inside the dinning room were all dirty. Maybe we came in a bad day. read more

Never again! The incompetence at this restaurant runs from top to bottom. The manager himself is a glaring net negative to the business, constantly berating and distracting his staff in full view of customers. This toxic cuck has little to no self awareness, which makes for a consistently uncomfortable dining experience. Speaking of the staff, perhaps they deserve the constant scolding because last week they completely botched my order with zero apologies. Even the most basic customer service tenets are absent at Lucky Boy. It's times like these when the irony of the restaurants' name is indeed painful--there's nothing "lucky" about eating at Lucky Boy, it's the exact opposite. No cap, the breakfast burritos are decent at Lucky Boy, but not worth the stress and trouble of patronizing this restaurant. There are at least five better breakfast burrito options within a 2 mile radius. Find me at Copa Vida. read more

Absolute horrible customer service. If It was capable of giving this place a 5 I would, but i can't, so I'll just settle with one. The pittsport attitude that the people have there when they mess up your order should really be checked. I didn't force you to take this job. You took it, so act accordingly. I would never come back to this location or recommend it to anybody. Stay away if you can. read more

When it comes to breakfast burritos this place is a must! Burritos are huge, packed and flavorful. A must try!

I've been a customer of Lucky Boys for years now and have never had complaints on a meal until today. As a big fan of the salads I tried a wrap today to switch things up. I ordered it expecting a refreshing bite of lettuce and veggies alongside the protein and dressing, just as if one was to eat the salad. The wrap tasted and looked like I was only given feta cheese, olives and chicken. The size of the wrap was great, but the flavor was off because of the overbearing amount of cheese and olives. read more

I've had many many many breakfast burritos here... mostly for portions and convenience since I worked very close by and it's time to make a really brutally honest review. Your days are numbered, Lucky Boy! I think this place is really living on nostalgia and people keep going here based on that. Pasadena is an oasis of PHENOMENAL FOOD and this place is NOT it. From overcooked smelly eggs, crunchy bacon and dry sausage, no seasoning, oily and tends to leak from the bottom. The younger gentlemen up front likes to act hard and put your change on the counter instead of your hand. I'd love it if he wiped that smug look off his face like his .... don't stank. Whatever quality and reputation this place used to have appears to be long long gone. Arrivederci Lucky Boy! read more
