I had their pork chili verde breakfast burrito (pork shoulder, crispy potatoes, scrambled eggs, chili verde salsa). It was delicious but a bit greasy. All of the ingredients were great in terms of quality and quantity and, the chili verde salsa was terrific. Service was great, and although BBAD doesn't have tables, it's attached to the historic Pasadena Hotel, and you are welcome to eat in their beautiful lobby or their terrific courtyard. read more

Chili Verde with Braised Pork - too salty. potatoes aren't really that crispy. just a simple breakfast burrito with simple ingredients. Sauces are okay too, not really spicy. Horchata - not bad but too sweet. Everything is just okay. For the price, probably not really worth it. Liked that we could bring it to the courtyard to enjoy though. read more

Delicious burritos. It was cool that their set up was inside a hotel lobby so we were able to just hang out inside there to eat our meal. The guy who took our order was really nice and helped clarify what we should order and it was a better recommendation than what I was going to pick. It didn't take too long to get our food. I would definitely come back here for a breakfast burrito. read more

Wow! What a great stumble to this new breakfast burrito spot! It's located in the Pasadena Hotel and it's a small shop! Such a great vibe inside. Initially we were bummed they didn't have anywhere to sit inside but later come to find out we can eat inside the hotel lobby and courtyard, which was so cool! Hubs and I got the basic baecon burrito and the mushroom chorizo burrito to share with iced vanilla latte with oat milk. Let me start by saying I do not like mushroom nor do I eat it but when the worker told me some guy thought it tasted like meat and didn't know it was mushroom, I had to try it. It was AMAZING!!! There was crispy potatoes in there too and I'm not a big fan of crispy but wow the flavors complemented really well! The iced latte was also delicious!!! Will definitely be back :) read more

Third time's the charm! BBAD continues to impress with their Basic Bae-con burrito crispy bacon, velvety scrambled eggs, and that signature potato pavé that adds the perfect crunch. The spicy aioli drizzle ties everything together beautifully, making each bite rich and flavorful. The consistency here is unmatched every visit, the burrito is just as satisfying as the last. Plus, the peaceful courtyard seating inside the Pasadena Hotel makes for a great spot to enjoy breakfast. If you love a well-crafted bacon burrito, BBAD is the place to be! read more

Bbad - Breakfast Burritos All Day - Salinas-style pork chili verde breakfast burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

Have heard so much about this place and was excited to try it. So on the my review-- Okay the burrito was good (I had the chile verde) but not the best and definitely more expensive than the normal breakfast burritos. I must say that I have had better and the service didn't seem super warm and inviting. If I am honest, not sure I'd recommend it to friends or family. And I would probably not go back. read more

Not sure how the food is here but the lattes aren't good. Perhaps the beans they use.. not the worst but also not worth $6!

The burritos here are 5 star worthy. Some of the most unique breakfast burritos I've ever had. The only reason I'm knocking off a star is that they claim it's All Day. If you're going to put that in the title. You should be open later than 2pm. A day is 24 hours long. read more

We got up early to check out this small cozy shop. First impression walking in was a dirty glass door. Staff was friendly so no issues there. We bought the bacon burrito and chile verde braised pork. Unfortunately neither of them were good. Bacon burrito was salty with the chipotle mayo combination. Bit into pieces gristle also. No balance with those ingredients. The chile verde burrito had no chile verde flavor whatsoever. Last thing was that the potato's tasted old and were greasy. Had an open mind about this place but ended up highly disappointed. I don't understand why people are raving about this place . It's not worth it for the price ($17 each) and taste. Great location for hotel traffic but we will not be going back nor recommend it. read more

The restaurant is on the right side of the hotel. Easy to miss if youre walking fast. my wife and I came an hour before they closed and they were very welcoming. We ordered two burritos: chill verde and mushroom chorizo. Got two drinks: horchata and espresso tonic. Burritos were good but a bit small. They had these potatoe clusters in them that were good. Would definitely get tbe mushroom chorizo burrito again. Both drinks were refreshing! We ended up eating in the hotel lounge and patio. Nice area but there were alot of plantains that had fallen onto the floor. Would come back for their burritos and drinks! read more

What a cool little breakfast burrito spot. Their menu isn't super deep - but they make up for that with high, consistent, quality on all of the items. I liked the brazed pork and horchata the most from what we sampled. read more

Bbad - Breakfast Burritos All Day - Chorizo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

Ok sorry to say I didn't really like this burrito at all. I actually tossed out the last bite. Which is unheard of for me. The customer service was outstanding. The horchata and the twice fried potato's were awesome. But the burrito as a whole did t have enough eggs. The sauce instead just did t do it for me. Bacon was run of the mill. I wanted to get another burrito from somewhere else.this is how I feel when the food sucked. But already ruined appetite. And money wasted. I did have a hunch not to go. But I was in the neighborhood for two appointments. And it was on my personal list to try. The hotel environment was cool kinda "shining" vibes. I don't like doing bad reviews but this is how I feel. May be good to some. I would still try it if you haven't. read more

Got the mushroom chorizo and it was good! Loved the vibe of this place! It was tiny, but the art was really cute and creative, and it's located in Pasadena hotel, so you can enjoy your burrito at the lobby or in their courtyard. Giving 4/5 bc while the burrito was good, i wouldn't say it was spectacular. The vibes and location were like no other though. read more

Best burrito, try the salsa verde it's unreal. Ambience was 10/10, service 10/10 go try it!

It's been three days since I went there and I'm still thinking about the breakfast burrito I had 10/10

tried their "Basic Bae-con" and "Chile Verde with Braised Pork" which were made fresh to order (and I appreciated having a little bit of time to relax in the gorgeous hotel lobby). While they are awesomely tasty (didn't even need the sauces, which were delicious too), I have never met a breakfast burrito that I haven't liked and it was a bit pricey for what you get, particularly given the size (around half of what you'd get a lucky boy). read more

Breakfast burritos all day definitely has a nice ring to it. The price range is comparable to nearby Wake and Late. My husband and I shared the mushroom chorizo and the chili verde braised pork burritos. While we're not vegetarians or vegans, we really enjoyed the flavorful mushroom chorizo. I was initially concerned that the chili verde might be too spicy, but thankfully, it had just a mild kick. The braised pork was tender and juicy, and the eggs were wonderfully pillowy and fluffy. The only thing I felt was missing? Tater tots instead of potatoes. I also personally prefer my breakfast burrito's tortilla grilled/toasted rather than just rolled and wrapped, which is why I'd choose Wake and Late over BBAD. A nice perk is that you can eat in the lobby of the Pasadena Hotel, where they have a self-serve water stations. Overall, it was a good spot to try, but I wouldn't call it the best breakfast burrito I've had. read more

The word is out on BBAD. I've seen the heavy hitters of the city plugging into the goodness of BBAD of late, and I cannot say I blame them. BBAD is truly a uniquely special joint for Pasadena and LA folk and should not be slept on. The beauty of the burrito here really starts and ends with the potato pave. The love that is put into these crispy, layered squares is noticeable, and is the star of the show here in all of their burritos. Personal favorite is the chile verde, with a pork so tender the juice just bleeds right into those crispy potatoes so beautifully. The mushroom chorizo is also a great get if you are wanting to go a bit on the lighter side/no meat journey. When the joint first opened, they also offered a vegan cheese sauce that I dream about weekly and hope they consider bringing back one day! Until then, we'll keep swimming in their addicting housemade hot sauce and savoring over those little pave pillows. Buy into the hype now... it's so real. read more

18 bucks for a toothpick burrito sorry but it's not worth that much the taste is decent but put some food in there make it look like a chipotle size if your gonna charge that much read more

I'm blown away. The only regret I have is I didn't have more food. Because the one burrito I had was damn near life changing. The service was amazing. The guy checking out gave his input and was super cool. The vibe was great. It's small but had a cool hop aura. The star tho, was the burrito. Pork belly, salsa verde, hash browns, and over easy eggs. What the hell. I'm from San Diego and I'm already trying to figure out how I can get back there to have it again. Also I stayed at the Pasadena Hotel and this is directly underneath. Easy access. Amazing. 10/10. read more

This is one of those funny places where you have to look to find it but when you find it, you'll get a pretty OK breakfast burrito.

Wish they had other proteins besides pork. The establishment is a quaint little section that's connected to the Pasadena hotel. Staff was fairly friendly and knowledgeable about their putine potato's. read more

Basically was scammed by this spot. Ordered a chile verde burrito with "braised pork". The breakfast burrito came with ZERO meat but that's not even the disappointing part. Decided to still try to enjoy the burrito and see if the $18 price point is justified. Immediately I noticed these mushy inedible "potato cubes" I guess you could call them. The breakfast burrito itself lacked any hint of flavor it was basically a flour tortilla with 2 eggs over easy. Chile Verde salsa was non existent or maybe it was not but because lack of flavor didn't notice it. Side salsa they charge for which is unheard of in most spots is EXTREMELY oily. Haven't really came across a salsa that consist of more oil than anything. The oil made it quite inedible as well. Salsa comes in a paper cup as well. Diabolical. All in all I had to call it quits after a couple bites and an attempt to try to enjoy it. For the 18 dollar price point there are probably 10-15 different spots within a 1 mile radius that would get you a WAY BETTER breakfast burrito for half the price. Shame this food had to go to waste. Update: since I left this review the owner of this establishment has since responded saying I didn't enjoy the burrito because it was delivered and cold. It was neither. I picked it up and it was not cold. read more

Bomb. They're very consistent. The staff are awesome to chat with or hang around. The environment is great even for just waiting when you're picking up food. They gave me the heads up about the app so I can gather points since I'm kind of a regular haha read more

I was really excited to try this place. It is located in a hotel that has amazing places to sit and have your burrito. The cashier was very helpful and patient. I ordered one burrito and after taxes and tip I paid about $19-$20, which I think is high for a small burrito. The ambiance felt a bit like they turned the full size kitchen into a smaller kitchen with a register. You will get better ambiance in the hotels lobby. Mushroom Chorizo- 4/10 This is the only non pork option on the menu. The mushroom chorizo and potato pave were both burnt. The famous potato pave tasted like burnt kettle chips. The habanero hot sauce tasted like Pace salsa but more acidity. Habanero hot sauce is what made this burrito hard for me to eat as it threw off the flavor. read more

Connected to Pasadena Hotel & Pool, Bbad is a small spot serving up breakfast burritos and drinks. I have nothing but positive things to say about the staff and service. The workers were all warm and welcoming, which is always deeply appreciated. I was really hoping to be blown away by the food, but my husband and I found it to be just okay. We ordered the chili verde with braised pork. My husband got the standard burrito ($17), and I got mine as a bowl because I'm gluten-free ($19). In my bowl I got over-easy eggs instead of the scrambled, and it cost $2 extra. To me, charging $2 extra for the way you want your egg cooked is absurd. They told us $1 is for the extra labor because the scrambled are made in bulk and $1 is for the increase in egg cost. I do understand that we all are facing expensive costs with groceries and eggs, but a whole two dollars extra because I want fried eggs over scrambled just doesn't seem right. The cubed pork meat was tender and had decent flavor. The chile verde sauce itself was not our favorite. It almost tasted like a thick, smoky gravy and was a lot different from most chile verdes we've had. It just was a bit lacking and mid. Our dishes also came with a side of a green salsa, which had no heat or real flavor. Their speciality potatoes were super crispy, which gave a good crunch, but hot damn they were so greasy. One thing about me is I love potatoes in all their forms, but the amount of grease on these potatoes was a little off-putting. Given the richness of the pork as well, it was just a bit too much. I enjoy the creativity of having a breakfast burrito option that is less traditional than other spots, but it just didn't quite meet our expectations given the hype. I will say their vegan horchata is absolutely excellent though! Bbad is definitely nowhere near our favorite spot for breakfast burritos. read more

I was super excited to try this place after reading about it while looking for breakfast places in Pasadena. I am rarely in the area but took a an early train to go to a work meeting and wanted to get breakfast. I got the mushroom soyrizo burrito and found it greasy, kind of flavorless, and forgettable. I was pretty disappointed. read more

To me, this place was ok. Not something I would go back again for just because of my first time experience of how inconvenient the parking was. I Got that chili verde burrito. I called in the order. So it was ready when I got there. Had mine Togo, so I don't know if there was a place to sit. Place is super small. (Don't blink) you'll miss it! If you're in a rush, just park out front in the loading zone jump out go grab your pre ordered burrito and leave. Would I go there again? Probably not. Kinda pricy for something a little too small in my opinion. But give it a try you don't have to take my words for it. read more

I've been doing this thing for months now where I get up on the weekends and take my dog out to the park. First stop is finding a breakfast burrito. Then we go to the park where I enjoy my breakfast while she rolls in the grass. I've been to dozens of different places over these months. I first visited BBAD a few months ago and I remember thinking it was pretty good. Good enough that I returned for a second try. I got the Chile Verde w/ Pork Belly and honestly, this needs to be considered as one of the best breakfast burritos in L.A.. For me, I dare say "The Best". I will be back again. And again after that. read more
