Delicious burritos all day everyday. 4.5 The breakfast burrito with bacon, egg, cheese, and potatoes were a medley of quality and flavorful ingredients. Every bite was heavenly richness. The lunch chile verde pork burrito was top notch as well. The flavors all blend together with a moist, tender, delicious ingredients held together by a soft tortilla. The coffee is bomb too. So flavorful and rich, enjoyed everything. read more

I'm super happy to report BBad is back! It looks like there was a change of management that might have lead to an off day as far as seasoning goes and a window of time where things were getting sorted out on the customer service end. The new management reached out and gave me a full refund on our order. I really appreciated them making things right considering how much time had past between when I left the review and when I imagine the new management took over. I also really appreciated the fact that they didn't just give me a refund, but explained to me that they were really sorry about the experience I had and the reason why it happened. This is, to me, is the sign of a business that really cares and is trying to make things right. Now on to the food! After we received the refund my oldest son was begging me to grab a burrito before we left, he's 3. Despite not having a ton of time on my hands I snagged a couple burritos and prayed that they would be just as delicious and flavorful as I originally remembered them. I'm happy to say they were! I got the chili Verde and the bacon burritos and both were delicious, perfectly salted this time around if I might add . So anyways, here's to making things right! Thanks so much BBad, you've once again made a believer out of me. Eagerly looking forward to our next visit where we can eat some delicious burritos and hang outside a beautiful hotel. P.S. Enrique was awesome, thanks for the great conversation and customer service. read more

Hands down the BEST BREAKFAST BURRITO I've ever had. And my husband and son literally have a father/son tradition of Saturday morning "burrito boys" where they visit different burrito joints in LA. I got the "Basic Bae-Con" although there's nothing basic about this breakfast burrito. The chipotle aioli is to die for. And the crunchy potatoes were perfectly balanced and gave a good texture to the burrito This churro latte was also PERFECT. Perfect flavor, ratio of milk/cream, and espresso. I didn't realize they had 2 hour free validated parking until I walked up and saw their sign. But there's plenty of street parking nearby as well. I also asked for extra of their light green salsa. So fresh! I will definitely be back. read more

5 stars for BBAD - Breakfast Burrito All Day! I got the Chile Verde with braised pork and really enjoyed it. The potatoes pavé were easily the star of the burrito for me. They had a nice crunch on the outside and added a great texture and flavor to every bite. The braised pork was super tender, although it was a little too rich for my taste and kind of overpowered the chile verde sauce and some of the other flavors in the burrito. Still, everything came together really well and it was definitely one of the more unique breakfast burritos I've had. Would definitely come back and try the bacon burrito version! read more

As someone who doesn't eat pork, breakfast can be challenging. I got their vegetarian breakfast burrito with the mushroom chorizo and it is SO dang good that I felt compelled to leave a review about it. The flavor is great. You never get a bite of just one ingrediemt. The potatoes are fire. Just *chef's kiss* read more

Bbad - Breakfast Burritos All Day - Vegetarian breakfast burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

The very high reviews are well deserved. Yes, the burritos are pricey ( like everything else these days) but they are high quality. They are also not small. They are not enormous, either. I think the size was perfect. We tried the Chile Verde with Braised Pork and it was excellent. It was deeply flavorful. This is essentially a gourmet burrito. It contains juicy pork, potatoes and scrambled eggs. There is no filler. We also tried the Basic Bae-con (bacon, scrambled eggs, cheese, potatoes, chipotle aioli) and it was also very good. Once again, there is no filler. I think I preferred the Chile Verde burrito over the Bae because it was significantly different than your everyday burrito. Neither was the slightest bit greasy. They were both crazy fresh. The horchata was a slight letdown. It was clearly housemade but a little thin. It also could have been more flavorful. You need to be patient after ordering. I would guesstimate a good 10 minutes from ordering on the kiosk to pickup. Take this opportunity to explore the attached hotel lobby. The building is literally a 100 years old this year (2026) and the lobby is lovely. The hype is well deserved. These are excellent burritos. read more

This place is off in a hidden corner of the Pasadena Hotel and Pool lobby. The breakfast burritos were a 10 out of 10. We had the basic bae-con burrito and the mushrooms chorizo burrito. I'd drive back to Pasadena just for this place! read more

Stopped by BBAD after finding it on Yelp on Monday cause Breakfast burritos all day? Say less! I would eat a breakfast burrito everyday if I could haha super easy location to find as well. I also found 1 hour free street parking, I was first in line upon entering & you could either order on the kiosk or there is an a employee there but he's also making orders / drinks so I opted for the kiosk! Super easy to work/ figure out! Cute lil spot attached to the hotel, loved their decor & wallpaper!(: My order came out quiet fast which was nice as well(: If you're in Pasadena & craving a breakfast burrito any time before 4pm, BBAD Breakfast Burritos All Day is definitely worth checking out. The bacon burrito was jammed packed with bacon, egg & more, it was super flavorful, & seriously satisfying with every bite. So whether you're grabbing one to-go or have time to relax, you can actually enjoy your meal right inside the beautiful Pasadena Hotel lobby or out in the peaceful courtyard like I did! It was super peaceful wish the weather was a bit nicer the day I went, needed a lil sun but excellent spot to have lunch! Such a cozy spot with great vibes if you're looking for a laid-back breakfast or brunch. I do wish there was more heat in the salsas! They were still soooo tasty, but I definitely wanted an extra kick since I love spicy!! (: Overall, such a solid breakfast spot, especially if you're looking for an all-day breakfast fix in Pasadena! Will definitely be back to try the chile verde burrito next! (: read more

My fav place for breakfast burritos in Pasadena when I'm craving something a bit heartier than Wake And Late. Must get their basic bae-con with over easy egg! They forgot our avocado add-on last time, so we ordered it again for an extra $2 and it was sadly a pre-made avocado mush. Def not worth the extra $2 and it actually made the burrito worse lol. Just keep it simple. read more

Parked on the street right across the Pasadena hotel, then entered into this cute store front. I was greeted by the store associates and they took my order. I ordered the bae-con burrito and a matcha tonic. The associate recommended the passion fruit syrup and so I took her word for it, and it was wonderful! My partner ordered an horchata and he wanted coffee too so they recommended to put an espresso, and also delicious! The burritos were a little on the pricey side and a bit salty (for my personal taste- I'm sure they are delicious for others). But overall great food, great drinks and great service! read more

One of my favorite breakfast burrito spots that I haven't been to in a while. They are now under new ownership so I had to come check it out to see if it still hits. I was pleased to see that they still have some of the same staff and are using the same ingredients and recipes. I thoroughly enjoyed it. And I really love the potato pavè that they use inside. A lot of people complain that the burritos aren't that big, but they don't have to be with such quality ingredients. My absolute favorite is the mushroom chorizo. Super tasty with all of their sauces and you can't go wrong with a tres leches latte. It's located at the Pasadena hotel where you eat in the lobby or patio which is a great experience at such a historic location. read more

There's street parking to get here and likely a public lot nearby. This location is within the Pasadena Hotel, just walk in and you'll find it within the street corner of the building. It has very limited counter seating. There's a shelved wall for online orders. The staff are friendly. I got the Basic Bae-con burrito and a blueberry latte. The burrito is savory and filling. It came with a small cup of green sauce which was sweet. Overall it was tasty but not enough for the price. The blueberry latte was really good! The coffee wasn't too sweet or hot. I'd get it again. read more

Inside the Pasadena Hotel, at the corner facing Colorado and Mentor, bbad is raising the bar for breakfast burritos. While it's named Breakfast Burritos All Day, they're available until 2 pm. Chile Verde with Braised Pork: Inside the chewy flour tortilla, the creamy, fluffy, scrambled eggs and the crispy potatoes provide the breakfast in this burrito. The potato pavé squares are time intensive labors of love. (A pavé is a rectangular block of many thin layers of potato that looks like a tiny accordion.) Fried until golden brown, they add a wonderful crunch to the soft fillings. The braised pork contains a blend of pork shoulder and pork belly slowly roasted fruit six hours. There's great flavor and marbling from the shoulder and the belly makes it rich and juicy. The little tub of chile verde is sweet and delicious from the tomatillos and caramelized onions. One tub is not enough. The red salsa is also good. Dining Area: The tiny corner spot has a few seats along the back counter. The hotel also has a courtyard. Parking: The hotel provides 2 hour validation, but there's plenty of easy street parking. read more

Solid breakfast burritos inside a great location-- they're a tiny place but the Pasadena Hotel clearly embraces them. And the breakfast burritos, while not exceptional, are very good, ample in size, and at least for the bacon one, loaded with bacon. Service is friendly and quick, and we were definitely glad we stopped by. read more

Bbad - Breakfast Burritos All Day - Bacon egg no cheese no potato. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

I think this could be one of the better breakfast burritos throughout LA but between staff and execution of the burrito, there were too many misses. I placed an ordered online maybe 10 minutes before arriving and it was ready a few minutes after I walked in. However, when I walked in and stood at the cashier, the two girls working did not acknowledge me, ask if I needed help, greet me, anything. They both seemed to be scrambling to hand off prior orders which I don't have a problem at all waiting for my turn, but it was pretty much one handing off the bag of food to the other then handing it to the customer. They both didn't need to do one person's job. Once they acknowledged me they had my order on the pick-up shelf. It's a hefty burrito and filled will. But for $17 it hardly had any cheese, and the bare minimum aioli or sour cream was at the last few bites of the burrito, not evenly dispersed. The bacon was super crunchy, the potatoes were very crispy, the eggs were a bit dry, and overall the flavor was solid. But the side salsa sucked. A few missed that would make me return to give them another chance and hope for better results. read more

I stumbled upon this place because I was staying at the Pasadena hotel and pool. Bbad is literally right next door. It's a small take out place with a cool vibe. We ordered online and picked up the food. Let me tell you the burrito was amazing. Probably the best breakfast burrito I have ever had. Walked in and the food was ready and the employees were very nice. I don't give out 5 stars lightly but the seasoning or sauce they had on this was amazing. read more

Service was awesome. The workers were very kind and helpful. The B.E.C with no potatoes was an average and basic burrito. The chile verde with braised pork was phenomenal! The potatoes really make a difference! So thick and crispy. The only reason why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the burritos had no structure. It was falling apart as I ate it and got really messy. I've had other burritos with way more filling and those kept their structure. Other than that I would definitely come back! read more

I went back and purchased the Pork Chile Verde burrito. It seems that the burrito had so much more flavor and the sauce is such a well balanced accompaniment. Staff were very friendly and the vibes are clean and fresh. I also took advantage of their new offering of the Pave side (fries). These are AMAZING! Unfortunately, I still think the cost is a bit pricey. ~$26 for a burrito and side of potatoes. I didn't get a drink. Overall, while this is not somewhere i will be going on a weekly, or even monthly, basis, I enjoyed the food and will return eventually. read more

We got the green verde pork burrito! Split half with my boyfriend and it was very filling. You also get two sauces, green verde and a hot sauce. It is a bit pricey for a breakfast burrito but good to try. Service was decently quick, waiting and eating area is pretty small though. read more

Thanks to Kristie Hang's IG reel for sharing this breakfast burrito spot! It's located inside the Pasadena Hotel, which is a beautiful building. Parking: You can park in the hotel parking structure (B1, B2, and 2nd level), then enter via elevator. There's metered/paid street parking along Colorado Blvd. Bbad has a street-level entrance as well. Food: I got the chile verde burrito $17, which has slow-cooked pork. It is on the salty side, especially as I got down to the end of the other side of the burrito. I chose to get scrambled eggs. The potato wedges inside were crispy! I highly recommend eating this while still hot otherwise the potato's will be soggy. They gave me 3 different sauces to try. None of them were spicy. The brown one was pretty good. Forks and knives and napkins are on the bench/counter. Limited indoor seating here, but you can take the food to the hotel lobby or courtyard. You can order via one of the two kiosks. On a weekday afternoon there was no line, but I did see that they had take out orders on their shelves. Credit card/touch pay only (via kiosk). Hotel has free WiFi. Hotel has bathroom. read more

Bbad is pricey!!!! Some people love it, some people may think it is way too expensive. Ordered the following: 1. BEC $15 2 Bacon $17 The red sauce did not sit well with me. I was not a fan. The components are nice. The eggs are fluffy, the bacon is crunchy, and the potatoes are fried to a crisp. Interesting interpretation. The red sauce was not my cup of tea. It just was not the business. Maybe get it on the side or choose the green sauce. read more

One of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. The Mushroom Chorizo was super flavorful with the most mindblowing potatoes inside. Apparently they are painstakingly made - carved up, stacked back together, baked and fried (or something like that). Just incredible. Employees there were super nice and friendly too. This place is attached to the Pasadena Hotel, which provides a nice lobby and courtyard to consume these amazing burritos. read more

One of my favorite spots for breakfast burritos! My fiancé and I like getting one bacon and one chili verde burrito and splitting them. The aioli, salsa, and hot sauces are great too. I do feel like the burrito started getting a little smaller since my first and recent visits though. read more

I was skeptical, my partner and I live in the neighborhood and had never gotten around to try this place. As a wannabe foodie with a PHD in Mexican food, I had to try this place out. This is the best burrito in Pasadena, and definitely top 3 in the Los Angeles area. Let's dissect the chile verde with braised pork: Tortilla: As a flour tortilla lover, I was impressed. The tortilla is delicious, soft, lightly chewy, with a buttery richness. They must have an abuelita making them in the back. Braised Pork: the pork was delicious, melt in your mouth tenderness, packed with many flavors. It had hints of sweetness. Potatoes Pave: this is the secret. When you first bite into the burrito you think you're crunching on chicharrones, but it's the potatoes. This brings the burrito to another level. You need to try these! The sauces: the sauces are not spicy but flavorful a little on the sweet side. Overall. A very solid burrito. You should try it. read more

Stopped by BBAD and ordered the pork chile verde burrito. What stood out here was how well everything worked together. The pork was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, but the potato pavé was what really caught my attention. It added a crisp texture that you don't usually get in a breakfast burrito. Between the crispy potatoes, soft eggs, and tender pork, every bite had a great balance of textures. Nothing got lost or overpowered anything else. The chile verde sauce tied everything together. It had plenty of flavor and just the right amount of kick without taking over the burrito. A lot of places throw a bunch of ingredients together and hope for the best, but this felt intentional. Every ingredient had a purpose and complemented the others. The staff was also incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. You can tell they take pride in what they're serving. I came in expecting a good breakfast burrito and left impressed by the attention to detail. The pork was great, the sauce was great, but that potato pavé is what I'll be thinking about the next time I'm deciding where to get breakfast in Pasadena. read more

It was a little tricky to find. You can either wrap around the Pasadena Hotel to find the Bbad door, or walk through the lobby. The burritos themselves were just okay. They could have used a little more of a vinegary/citrusy punch as a sauce. The hot sauce leaned more towards the buffalo flavor, which was just not great. For the price, I do not think I'll be back. Though it is surprisingly hard to find breakfast burrito places offering these types of meat rather than the standard eggs/bacon/ham. read more

The establishment is located in a small area connected to the hotel, with no dine-in space (not that I was aware of anyways). The place was very clean and the cashier was super friendly. Essentially, this place serves elevated breakfast burritos. It's on the pricey side for a breakfast burrito, but totally worth it. The ingredients are cooked and flavored to perfection. Get the Chile Verde with Braised Pork. read more

We heard so much about this place on social media that we had to try it out. Be aware that LA offers A LOT of great breakfast burritos. There is a lot of competition out there. That being said, we've tried many breakfast burritos and Bbad is ok in my book. That may seem harsh but it's the truth. If it wasn't for the atmosphere and hotel where you can eat it, this would have been a 3-star for the burrito itself. We got the Chile Verde and Basic Bae con. As you can see from the pictures, really not too exciting in terms on ingredients and flavors. I do like the way the potatoes are made like thin sheets and then fried. Other than that, the sauce on the Basic Bae Con was unexpected especially with a basic breakfast burrito. What I will say is the ambiance of eating inside the hotel lobby or outside patio made up for the cost of each burrito; by today's standards is pretty high for eggs, tortillas, potatoes and meat.

Hellloo these are bomb ass burritos!!!!! They are pretty heavy on the cheese and runny egg yolk. I got the haus burritos and love the pickles in them, it kinda balances out the heaviness of the burrito. I ordered thru Uber Eats and it was still crunchy from the toasted tortillas. So good! read more

I think this is a genius play to serve breakfast burritos all day. I love a good burrito and can eat eggs for all three meals of the day. I had seen so many articles raving about this place and was really waiting for an opportunity to try it. It is within a hotel and street parking is quite simple, plus the hotel allows you to enjoy the lobby or courtyard while you wait for your food if you are getting take out. The meats are slow cooked and the potato cubes are impossibly crispy. The eggs are smooth and creamy. It just screams high quality and cheffy food. I really liked the salsa verde. Next time I will check if there is a spicier option as it was a little mild for me given the rich food. It would be nice to cut it with a spicy or salsa. Service was wonderful, especially since I got there minutes before closing. I tried the vegan horchata which personally for me was way too sweet but it is nice to have it as an option. I would love to go back and try more as well as try some of their specials. read more

They're called Bbad because they're bad at costumer service. Waited 45 minutes for a $60 order that they "forgot about" and had to wait 20 more minutes after that. There was no line; I was the only one standing there waiting. Didn't offer anything extra, and when I asked for maybe a something thrown in for the wait, they simply declined. It's fine that they didn't offer one, but just demonstrates pretty poor service overall for the price point. The burritos were good though! read more

Was expecting to be underwhelmed honestly. Burrito was delicious, perfect size and execution with flavors and textures. Solid brew coffee to go with it as well. A couple suggestions to improve the experience would be a couple tables outside or seating area to wait for your takeout order. Prices are kind of high too. Standing around is pretty awkward. Overall, would go again. read more

I liked it. Came in early. Small simple interior. A back wall bench with a few stools for seating. I got the chili verde with braised pork. So good! I'd say it meets the hype. The pork is so crispy and crunchy. The green salsa has a nice flavor but it's very mild. Might have to ask for red next time. And maybe I'm just a fatty but I wish the portion were bigger. I'd come back to try more though. Service was good. Friendly staff. There's street parking or a structure around the block on Mentor Ave. read more

Bbad stands for Breakfast burritos all day, a food outlet situated next to the Pasadena Hotel and Pool, in Pasadena. You can enter from outside or through the hotel (like I did). Hotel Parking after validation came to $5 (nice large parking spaces). This eatery has recently got a lot of buzz after the Jenn Harris write up in the LA Times. I had to go. it is a small food counter, with a limited menu and a few dining chairs to eat in. The bonus here is that you can pick up your burrito and go to the small but impressive hotel lobby or the elegant courtyard to eat. I got the Basic Bae-con Burrito. Composed of potatoes pavé, housemade hot sauce, chipotle aioli, sour cream, cheese & three eggs (scrambled in my case, or over-easy, is the alternative) on a flour tortilla. I suppose I came here with high expectations because of the LA Times review. The tortilla was elastic, chewy and perfectly prepared. The scrambled eggs were fluffy, but with no egg taste. Hardly any bacon. The potatoes are touted to be special, in prep and construction. In my burrito, they lacked the crispness or the density to create an impact. I had only two fractured cubes that were gummy and unevenly distributed to one corner of the hand held. Taken as a whole, the burrito was tasty, had a good soft bite, satisfying flavor and went down easy. I hope I did not come here when the star chef was off for the day. read more

My new favorite espresso tonic. I've tried a lot of espresso tonics but this one is my new go-to. The chile verde burrito is delicious too. So worth it. Worth both the calories and the price. The outside patio is so nice. Nice relaxing vibe. The service was great. Very helpful people working the counter. They gave me great recommendations and were really kind and inviting. My first time in was perfect. So much so that i brought my fiancé with me the following weekend. Got the same thing again and it was just as good as the first time. My fiancé enjoyed it very much too. Check this place out. Wont disappoint. read more

Bbad - Breakfast Burritos All Day - Espresso Tonic + Chile Verde Burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

I came to Bbad during my lunch break. At first, I couldn't find it while walking on Colorado Blvd. I looked and looked. Finally, I saw a door opening to the right of Pasadena Hotel. As I got closer, it was Bbad. Yay, I found it! Bbad is nestled within the Pasadena Hotel. There is an entrance from the inside of the hotel and from the outside street as well. It's a small shop with some bar stool seating. They are a cashless facility... card only! They specialize in breakfast burritos all day long which is great. Their menu is small, but mighty with good choices. I got their mushroom churizo (vegan) recommended by the friendly lady staff who took my order and an iced horchata. Wait time was decent. Burrito was delish and worth every penny! Good amount of eggs and mushroom. Sauce was plentiful. I was slightly disappointed about my drink though... I forgot to ask for no ice. I asked the lady to remove the ice. After she removed the ice, the drink was almost half gone. That's just ridiculous IMHO. The lady staff did not offer to remake the drink for me. I just let it be. Anyway, I had to ask for water since I only got a few sips from my horchata drink. Their water machine broke or something so I had to get water from the Pasadena Hotel lobby. My overall dining experience was just okay. However, I'll be back to try their other breakfast burritos. I'll pass on their drinks though. read more
