Love this spot. I've only had their breakfast burritos, but that's all I've ever needed to find happiness in my tummy. Great and friendly service. read more

Came at 8:57pm Friday night. Yelp and their website say they close at 10pm. Was already closed when I arrived. I understand if you close a 9pm but it says 10pm. Annoying, wasted my time. Get your hours straight. read more

Here's my obligatory review for the new location listing on Yelp. Do yourself a favor, and try one of their TACO ON A BUN's and their SPUDERITO's. You won't find these anywhere else. Taco Bell used to sell Bell Beefer's many years ago, but I haven't found one that will now, as I don't think they have bun's anymore. Del Taco still sells BUN TACO's, even though they are not on their menu for some reason. But these do not compare to the TACO ON A BUN at Bobby's Place. Completely different animals. It may not sound like much, but try one and you'll see! Their regular burrito's are really good also. I think I've only ever tried their hamburger once, and thought it just average. But having only tried it once, don't go by my judgment. Once I discovered the Taco On A Bun many years ago, that's all I ever get there now. That and an occasional Spuderito. read more

I ordered food online from here on a Sunday at about 7:30pm. They use a 3rd party company (order hero). But when you call Bobby's they know nothing about them. What a joke! When I went to pick up the order, they were closed. But there was still a hold on my credit card for about 5 days. To my surprise the charge was posted. I called Bobby's and they nothing about it. I called order hero and they confirm they are affiliated with Bobby's and will refund me if I did not pick up the order. We'll order hero can't confirm it with Bobby's place since they know nothing about this company and suggested that they speak to the owner. I still have not seen my $40.00. Will lot be ordering from them again! Beware! read more

All I can say is "MMMM-MMMM GOOD!" There is something about their burgers that makes my mouth water and they are the perfect place for late night feasting! I absolutely love the dining room, but, as usual, I get my orders to go so I haven't actually eaten there. It's good to see that the cooks have plenty of space to move around since the last location was super tight. I do miss the late night window, but I the food hasn't changed which is great! Parking can definitely be tricky because you can really access the back lot by cutting through Ralphs. You have to go down Walnut, pass the Ralph's, and hand a right at the next street. Be careful, though...it's a one way street. I am pretty sure that street is Mentor, but don't quote me. :) read more

PLEASE HELP ME CHANGE THIS REVIEW. My uncle grew up in Chicago listening to Steve Dahl talk about this place on the radio/podcasts for the past 40 YEARS. He visited me for the weekend from Kansas and when I asked what he wanted to do his first time in LA the one thing he said was try a beef burrito from Bobby's Place. He even knew the directions about how to best reheat a frozen Bobby's Place burrito from listening to Steve so much. We made the trek from Long Beach to Pasadena for this burrito, I even ordered it online to make sure they were open, and we got there and it was inexplicably CLOSED. We had already paid for burritos and there was no explanation about why they were closed, online it said they were open. We headed back to the airport burrito-less for my uncle to return home. All I want is for my uncle to try this burrito he's been anticipating for 40 years. Bobby's Place, can you help? read more

I've been coming here since I was 5 years old with my dad and he's been going here since he was just about a teenager with his dad. I remember hearing a long time ago ricks was closing and I was devastated because I loved getting the beef burrito and that spot meant a lot to me. But thankfully Bobby has taken over the spot and has kept it alive since. Their food is so simple but it's so much better than your average burger joint. If you're ever in Pasadena and are feeling a little hungry stop by Bobby's you won't regret it. Thank you Bobby for keeping ricks alive read more

This place is that burger joint you use too look for back in the day before all that McDonald's and burger king etc. takes me back to that old feeling when times where original read more

Love this place, been coming for years when it was on Walnut. Note to YELP: Bobby's Place is open from 8AAM to 5PM at the present time. read more

No mames!!! This place has made me a fan and for those who hate, well then, I appreciate that you won't be holding up the lines. Let's be clear this is a cut above the other fast food chains of Del Taco, Taco Bell and Alberto's. Also, my review is on the beef burrito with hot sauce and beef taco combo. I have not tried any other items but when I have a craving for those two items I know exactly where to go. Prices are reasonable, staff has been friendly each time and since I've been here often they now ask "the usual"! This will eventually become my "Cheers" so long as they do not disappoint. read more

After a long day of hiking near Pasadena my friends and I decided to grab some immediate food as soon as we were down..decided on this place because of the different options they had..I choose there burger forgot what it was called but your basic cheeseburger..I definitely enjoyed it..would I come back if I was in the area possibly but overall it was a great experience food didn't take long..bathroom was towards the back..somewhat hard to find was the only downfall read more

Bobby's Place - Double cheeseburger - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

Parking is in the back off of Mentor. Do not be discouraged! The food is delicious. Support a local small businessman who works hard. Bobby ran Rick's, a Pasadena institution formerly on Walnut for years. Bobby bought the business and relocated when the Rick's lot was developed into a trendy new building. The food is the same it has been for years - great. The burritos are stars. The beef burrito is top flight. If you want a change of pace, the Spuderito (made with french fries) is for you. The cheeseburgers are fine - the mayoish dressing provides just the right distinguishing note. For a different take, try the French Burger on grilled french bread. The fried zucchini is a favorite - perfectly done. The french fries are good, too. Good food. Good price. A business worth supporting. Go to Bobby's today! read more

New location makes it even better than before... worth the trip just to see the great Pasadena mural on the wall! And indoor plumbing too! Combination Tostada is the best, and their homemade hot sauce is an exce;;ent enhamncement to dip their french fries in! Burritos are great, as well as the tacoburger.., it's harder to find a genuine tacoburger than you might think. Just imagine a taco on a hamburger bun. And they do it "old school" style... with mustard! Odd as it may sound, it really completes the flavor symphony. read more

The best burrito period. was Ricks then sold but kept the recipe then moved to a new location its still all good. tacos are good too love the season in the meat they use great place for a quick lunch or carryout. Great breakfast burrito also read more

A staple of my city. Get the beef spuderito. Bomb! Also the bacon breakfast burrito will knock your socks off. I know there are a lot of other places that serve breakfast burritos, but do yourself a favor and really commit to having one from HERE! YEASSS... MOST UNDERRATED BREFFAST BURRITO around! I feel like having one now, gotta go... read more

DSP GO NO PIC TACO X HOT My order for 40 years. At Ricks or Bobby's. Double Special grilled onions no pickles taco extra hot sauce I haven't even lived within 400 miles in 30 years and it's still what I compare all burgers to. my family knows 1 thing to be true when I visit. I'm going to Ricky Bobby's. LA has so many amazing local burger joints, I can't claim to know that many but I've been around. This is the elite. The staff are great people who love their restaurant. It shows. read more

Bobby's is pretty great! Being a non-meat eater it's sometimes hard to find places the whole family can eat at. But Bobby's has a great veggie burrito. I was a little iffy with mayo in my burrito, but it was GREAT. And of course I had to get a side of fries. The only downfall was the soda machine wasn't working, but I don't drink soda, so who cares. read more

Bobby's Place - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

Stopped by for a breakfast burrito because I was tired of another breakfast burrito business (with multiple locations in Pasadena). Bobby's was very good and worth the stop. The ROI is much better. The burrito was large enough to satisfy my large tummy and small enough to leave me hungry for lunch without a carb overload (think no hashbrowns). I purchased the breakfast burrito with bacon and my wife selected the cheese burrito. There were plenty of eggs, salsa cheese and tasty bacon. The size was about the size of the largest tortilla you could find a standard supermarket with several eggs. Both burritos were flavorful but the bacon was much more tasty. I look forward to returning for lunch in the future. Don't take my 4stars as a less than great place, I do recommend you stopping by. But the food is not on a 5star level. That said they get 10 stars for value. Parking is very easy. read more

Food sucks priced way to high. Fries have a weird taste. I wouldn't recommend this place. Don't mention to the lady at the cashier that your looking for vegan or vegetarian options she will give you a disgusting look and is very condescending when she tells you that they don't carry any vegetarian option. If your looking for a place to go try mcds atleast you know what comes with your order. read more

Had an appointment across the street and felt hu gry on my way out. I am a lover of burgers so decides to stop by at Bobby's. Place is nice, it's small and decently clean. I ordered a cheeseburger combo and sat down. Food came out pretty quickly and was nice and hot, fountain drink had plenty of carbonation and ice. Burger looked ok but needed more of a char for my liking, it also lacked seasoning. Fries were got but also rather bland. It was around lunchtime when I dropped by and there were plenty of people coming in and out of the establishment. Overall would rate this place a 3.5, I heard many people ordering the breakfast burritos, I'm and out of town-er and would stop by again but not for a burger or fries. read more

Chicken taco salad for the win. Best taco salad I've had in a decade. The hard shell tacos and burritos are also on point. Chicken burrito. Beef hard shell taco. read more

Bobby's Place - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

I only wish I knew about this place sooner! Man, their food is really good. I wanted to try a new breakfast burrito spot so I just yelped "breakfast burritos" and Bobbys came up with good reviews. Since then (4 months later) I have been coming here at least 2-3 times a month! Their breakfast burrito is sooo good - it has fluffy eggs, chunks of potatoes, salsa, cheddar cheese, and your choice of meat (I usually get bacon). My next favorite thing on their menu is their 1/4 cheeseburger and their jalapeño fries. Omg their jalapeño fries are perfection and you must try (to me it's not that spicy). It comes with a side of ranch. I also called in and ordered fries with my one of my meals and the guy was nice enough to wait till I got there to pick up my order to make my fries (so that it wasn't soggy)! Customer service is great here. You can park in the Ralph's parking lot or there is another back lot (entrance is on Mentor). They take cash, card, and Apple Pay. Bobby's is definitely a gem in Pasadena. read more

Bobby's Place - Bacon Breakfast Burrito with Bacon (side of ranch)! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

Best breakfast burrito ever!! The perfect ratio or protein and carbs yumm. I also love their spicy sauce, one of the best I've had a lot of breakfast burrito but this one my favorite of them all read more

The location is nice and clean. Bright space n lots of flat screens. I had a breakfast burrito with crisp bacon and they didn't skimp on portions 4 stars My husband had a burger and was disappointed. The fries needed another minute in the fryer too Overall a decent lil fast food spot read more

Bobby's Place - Breakfast burrito with bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

Damn good breakfast burrito and even better breakfast tacos. Breakfast burrito taste fresh and bacon was crisp. Red hot sauce made in house. Medium spicy chipotle flavor. Taste good. Breakfast tacos were like little street taco size. With corn tortillas and house jalapeño sauce. The sauce really makes it! I could eat those all day. Good friendly vibe and service from the day crew. This is my fave spot now more quick breakfast. My friend told me the Ortega burger is good. With the green chili. I'll try that for lunch next time. Glad I tried this place. It's a winner read more

Maybe I put too much stock into other people's reviews. I was excited to try this place because I love me a good breakfast burrito. And for the price you couldn't beat it! I don't like disparaging restaurants, particularly in the time of the Rona. But this wasn't good. Putting the salsa in ahead of time made it mushy. The sausage was kinda generic and bland, the jalapeño fries were so greasy we could see them thru the white opaque bag. It was just altogether bad. There are better breakfast burritos out there. read more

Just started working in the Pasadena area and this place is really close by. Decided to check it out for myself. Here are the highlights: Service: Customer service is "okay". Everyone is friendly enough for a fast food burger joint. Food comes out fairly quickly Food: Ordered the bacon cheeseburger combo- It was as I expected it to be. The burger is delicious and the fries are as well. However there is nothing that stands out about the burger or anything. It tastes like all charbroiled burgers should taste like. Price: Bargain! All in all, I had a pleasant experience and the food was good. So if you're in the mood for a good burger and fries, you should come here. Just don't upset the cashier woman with the tattoos, she can be a little....ummm..dry. LOL! read more

Great breakfast burritos! They use french fries in the burritoand that adds a good texture! I always get the bacon one; it's loaded in every bite. It's the perfect size at a great price point. Order over the phone for pick up! read more

I saw an LA Times article that said this was one of the best "gringo" tacos (hard shell). I was disappointed. First, there is no salsa of any kind on the taco. I got some beans for my daughter and it came with this amazing salsa. Why not put some of that on the taco? The taco meat was pretty bland, and the amount of cheese was inadequate. Not comparable, in my opinion, to Tito's Tacos. There are much better hard shell tacos out there, that actually deep-fry their own taco shells. These are not pre-fab hard shells like at Bobby's or Tito's. The best home-brew hard shell tacos are: El Coyote in LA, La Fiesta Grande in South Pasadena, and Los Tacos in Pasadena. The filling is better at these places too. These are all amazing hard shell tacos. I will continue to seek out the best Gringo tacos. And I will try other items at Bobby's that look really good, and have that sauce... read more

Been going here since it was Rick's on Walnut and it's always bomb, that's over 25 years. French fries are always perfectly crispy and the portion is very generous. French burger with grilled onions is huge and juicy, split it with someone so you could get a crispy taco with extra hot sauce, it's just always good. It's the perfect comfort food and it's consistent. Thank you Bobby! read more

Came here for the 1st time to get breakfast burritos and it was BOMB! I got the sausage burrito and it was so big I had to save the rest for lunch! Definitely recommend this hole in the wall spot! Forsure coming back to try the jalapeño fries! read more

Awesome place with super friendly staff. Good food for cheap prices. I love their breakfast burritos, beef burritos and hamburgers. read more

Alright so I come here very often to get either breakfast and lunch. No matter what time of day it is, they're there to serve you and make you feel important! Great burger joint! And for the 2 ladies that work the front, much love from up the street!!! P.s. food is bomb! No questions asked read more

The fact that they still remember who I am after many years is quite amazing! I have been coming here since they were Ricks over on Walnut: they are always amazing, fast; and delicious! Bean burrito with fries for the win! Fast and cheap lunch on the go! read more

Absolutely delicious breakfast tacos and burrito! No frills, no hype, friendly service and super fresh food. Hits the spot!

Bobby's is a Pasadena legend! We love this place. They make all their salsas in house and the beans too - the beans from actual hard beans! My favorites are breakfast tacos, bean and cheese burritos with burrito sauce, and onion rings. Owners and staff are kind and generous too! read more

I love the breakfast burrito here; tough to compete in the same town as lucky boys but I think this is better - and it's that hot sauce they have. It's not that spicy- but very tasty. Try it out; sort of under the radar but you will thank me. read more

Hands down the best breakfast burrito anywhere! I've tried others and I'm always disappointed because they just don't compare to this one. I usually order the breakfast burrito with bacon and ask for well done bacon. I get the hot sauce on the side because it already comes with an amazing salsa-ish sauce inside. The burrito is huge and impossible to not eat every bite. The best part is they never fall apart! I've also tried the chicken burrito and the French cheeseburger. Also delicious! But the breakfast burrito keeps me going back regularly. read more

Formerly known as the iconic Ricks, Bobby's place kept the same great taste of all of the classics and even expanded the menu. If ever you get a chance, stop in for a combo burrito hot and some fries with a coke to wash it down. Until then, you haven't really experienced Pasadena. read more

Consistency is king and Bobby's has always delivered. You know what you're going to get when you order. We've been going to Bobby's since the Rick's days on Walnut. Btw, get your burgers with the French bread. Makes them that much better! read more
