The breakfast tacos are to die for. I ordered two not know how small they are but more importantly how delicious they are. I had to place a second order for two more tacos and the owner actually asked my if I liked bacon and he said he would add some to my second order on the house. How kind is that. Great customer service . The breakfast tacos consisted of eggs cheese tomato jalapeños and a house sauce. This is a must try. I will be back. read more

Kids LOVED it. Said it was the best food in Pasadena! Highly recommend. Customer service was incredible! Super nice. Good food. Good service. GO! read more

Love Bobby's and have been going there since they were Rick's at the old location. This is yummy old school Mexican. My husband loves the Taco in a Bun, which is big in the Inland Empire, the mix of their taco meat with mustard is actually pretty good. My current fav is the combo burrito with lettuce, cheese and onions. The burgers are great and we get fries whether we're doing burgers or not. Very yummy, crispy and salty. Staff is great and currently we're waiting for them to reopen after a fire, fingers crossed because we are missing out fix! read more

Umm $10 for some baby breakfast tacos, I'm not even complaining. I stopped by here a few years ago after a hike nearby and those tacos got me in a chokehold. I do live a bit far from this area so I hadn't gotten the chance to go back but today I was in the area and I was so excited. The parking is located in the back and they have some seating inside. The tacos are simple, baby tortillas with a fried egg, cheese, peppers and your choice of bacon, sausage or ham. They also give you some hot sauce that comes in a container, if you ask for it. The line moves pretty fast, you can tell there's a lot of regulars. I will be coming back if in the area. Maybe I'll try something else one day but for now those tacos are my go to. read more

The breakfast burritos had huge chunks of potato and took up a majority of the flavor. It was wrapped pretty messily and the toppings kept slipping down. The bacon wasn't crispy or fresh either. However, we enjoyed their breakfast tacos! They tasted unique with fresh eggs and salsa. They were fun to eat instead of the traditional burrito read more

Been coming here for 30+ years! Combo burrito with everything! Best fast food in Pasadena. read more

Came to Bobby's because i had their breakfast tacos at an office potluck. Order three burgers with fries, and a beef tostada. They charged me for the Tostada and forgot it in the order. Customer service wasnt great. The cashier didn't seem too happy we were there for some reason. Like they were bothered by our presence. read more

Ate here today for the first time. Delicious old school Cheese Burger. Perfect! I also has the beef taco- tons of meat and delicious. French fries for $5.49 each order is crazy expensive. However I will be back a lot. Best burger I have had in a while. Gonna try the breakfast burrito next. read more

The food is good the place use to be Rick's tacos everything they have is good friendly customer service they keep the same customers that has been going there for years, it's a. Small area but you can dine in & it's not quiet but a happy atmosphere read more

They don't turn on AC when the temperature outside is more than 100. Need to think twice before entering.

The website has specials with prices they don't honor. Brought it to their attention and they don't care. Just said they lost access and can't change it. No price adjustment or refund. No updates to their website after a few months. Make sure you ask what the prices are, saw some other reviews with the same issue. read more

Came here specifically to try the breakfast burrito after hitting the gym just up the street. Did not disappoint. Pretty standard price now these days (around 15ish) for a burrito that has bacon and sausage. I hate hash browns in a burrito and thankfully this place did not serve. And there hot sauce was delicious, did not charge my extra for asking for 2 read more

BEST BREAKFAST BURRITOS IN TOWN! After being kind of disappointed with lucky boy's lack of flavor I really wanted to find another place that sells breakfast burritos. I came in here not really expecting much since lucky boy's breakfast burritos are apparently the best in town, but I was so wrong. This place is sooo good. I usually get it with bacon and man, it's really the best. The workers here are great and super fast! I usually get my burrito with a side of ranch and it just elevates it. This place needs to be more popular! Support this small business!! Keep it up Bobby's Place! read more

I was doing some work in the area early morning and was starving. Don't let the posted hours fool you, if the lights are on they're cooking and serving bomb food. The breakfast tacos with the jalapeño sauce are out of this world delicious. Looking forward to trying their lunch menu on my next visit read more

Food was delicious. Service was fast and employees are very friendly definitely a nice spot

It's difficult to not consider the value of the meal here, with spraling inflation of food prices now out of control, so let's set aside nearly $40 to feed three people. That aside, the food was fair to middlin', which make the overall experience disappointing at best. I ordered a Chorizo Burrito...$12, kind of high pricewise, yet half of the contents were potatoes. Yes, I live in one of the best places in the world for great taco stands, yet this burrito was the first I've ever had with potatoes without any disclosure about the inclusion of several of these starch bombs...and it was just under half the size of a standard North San Diego County burrito, at best. I admit that comparing any Mexican Taco Shop food with the best taco shops anywhere is unfair, but I can only compare what I know with what I had here. The burgers were rather a slopfest, and yet the onion rings made the three stars happen. The onion rings were solid 4.5+ and worth the $7+ price tag. I won't rush back. The main reason for the one and done here is counter staff who quietly made clear they really didn't want to be there. I wish them, the restaurant and the food improvement as there just might be a shot at turning this place into a silk purse read more

Great place if you're a meat and cheese type of guy or gal or whatever you want to be called. I read somebody's review that made the comment "white boy tacos", but they're just ground beef tacos.... and much more. "I'm like totally offended"... get a life. Seriously, the burgers and fries are great and although it's changed names, it's still a Pasadena staple. My old history teacher was the one that actually came up with the French bread cheeseburger here, so give it a try! read more

I've been here quite a few times and I've had the French burger, regular cheese burger, breakfast burrito and breakfast tacos... all delicious! They had a fire in their kitchen but they are back open! Definitely recommend giving it a try and supporting this small business that's been around a long time. read more

OMG..!! Found this little place on Google maps after a meeting up in Pasadena & BOY am I glad..!! NOT fast food..!! Big old school homemade cheeseburgers & fat old-fashioned French fries. Friendly service, bottomless drinks & unlimited free parking next door... What's not to like..?? Need a quick lunch in Pasadena..?? Give this place a try... read more

Awesome food!!! Stoped in with the wife and left full asf. Everyone behind the counter was incredibly nice and I would definitely recommend the double Ortega burger!! read more

Good burgers. A bit overpriced for side items. Also, the lady working there needs to work on her interpersonal skills. Doesn't seem to be a people person.It is required for the service industry. read more

Awesome hole in the wall. Nice and greedy burgers just how I like them. I def want to come back and try their other stuff. Very generous with the fries. Definitely will repeat and definitely recommend to anyone who likes their greedy food like I do. read more

We wanted breakfast burritos and found this place on Uber Eats. The food was delivered in less than 15 minutes! The burritos were also half the price of any other breakfast burritos I could find in the area. Pasadena is way too bougie for me sometimes, but Bobby's keeps it real. We ordered 2 of the bacon breakfast burritos, and threw in some zucchini fries and jalapeno fries for good measure. Why not? The burritos were dense and HEAVY. I usually eat half of one and save the rest, but I couldn't get through half. I loved the thick, greasy tortilla they used and it was loaded with bacon, eggs and cheese, with less potato filler. The zucchini and jalapenos came in a box of each with ranch dressing, and were great, too. If you had too much fun the night before, or just want a good, quality breakfast burrito, this one is solid! read more

I dunno why but I'm kinda hooked to this place. It's definitely fast food, but I don't feel like trash after eating it. I'm partial to their combo burritos with added tomato and onions. It's just ground beef, refried beans, cheese and house made taco sauce, but it's so good! Facilities aren't the best, but I always grab-and-go anyways. Staff is always friendly and fast. read more

I LOVE the breakfast tacos here!!! One of my coworkers brought it to work for me to try and I absolutely fell in love with them. I never even knew breakfast tacos existed. I have only heard about breakfast burritos. I personally do not like the burrito in general because its too big and too much for me to eat for one meal. So these breakfast tacos were perfect for my portion. I really loved everything about it; melted cheese, eggs, bell peppers/onion and a spice kick to each little taco was surprisingly satisfying. I didnt really need the hot sauce because it had a good amount of spicy/hot flavor. It was server in a good old palm size tortilla and its really a snack unless you eat like 5, haha. I am going to try to come here soon and try their burgers and maybe even a burrito. Of course, I am going to get me lots and lots of breakfast tacos!! read more

The food is very good here. They opened about 8 years ago and I don't think many of us expected them to survive with all of the competition in the area. But they have survived and i'm happy about it. What I'm not happy about was walking in there a couple of days ago, placing an order and seeing the buff, black man not only wearing his mask under his nose as he prepared food but also coming up to the front of the restaurant on two occasions during my visit to greet his friends, closely engaging with them as he touched his mask constantly and the mask was still below his nose. The virus is no joke and we all know by now how to safely wear our masks to protect ourselves and others. Wearing the mask below one's nose protects NO ONE. If wearing a mask incorrectly or wearing a mask at all makes you uncomfortable, choose another industry. You have no right to put others at risk. read more

Beware of "Bait and "Switch menu. They charged me $2.00 more for a burger and drink than the price clearly displayed on the in store menu. How does a $6.39 burger and a $3.19 drink with tax add up to $12.55? Apparently they raised the price but still have the old price displayed on the restaurant menu. Talk about a shady business. read more

BEST place in Pasadena! Breakfast tacos fantastic! Burgers are unbelievably good, can't go wrong, if you haven't tried it you got to try them!! read more

Love there breakfast tacos !!!!! The bomb! Been going there for years. No one has breakfasts tacos like they do!

Old school since 1964. We stopped by for dinner for a quick bite to eat before heading to the movie theatre. I ordered the Chicken Burrito, bean tostada, and huge onion rings. The food was good but nothing spectacular that stands out. They had a steady flow of customers coming in. read more

Excellent breakfast tacos, very tasty and the staff if very friendly. I've had their burgers here and I asked them to use sourdough dough instead of a a bun. EXCELLENT!!! read more

Found this gem one hungry morning. Decided to order delivery. We got the breakfast burrito and the cheeseburger meal with onion rings. Everything was so delicious! The burger was perfection. It was juicy, filling, and messy. The onion rings were so good, and they are not cheap with it. The give you a large portion. The breakfast burrito was eaten later. It was still delicious! We're definitely coming to this place when we're in the area again in the future. I wish we have burger joints like Bobby's in the Bay Area. read more

This place is a dump that can't update their business hours to reflect when they're actually open. Better off going to McDonald's or Taco Bell for better service. read more

Bobby's has been our family's go to place for delicious burritos for decades - starting way back when it used to be called Rick's on Walnut. You can't go wrong with the delicious burritos - especially their bean burritos with everything! They kept lots of the original menu and then added some great new additions. We are particularly impressed with the fried zucchini which is always light, crunchy and not oily. Great service and good food will keep us coming back many more years. read more

Stopped by here on a Sunday around 2:00pm and it was packed. Got in line and placed my order for 3 tacos and a drink. The people that work here are nice. Problem was there were only 2 people working so being busy some people were told that they might have to wait 20 minutes for their food. Everyone was cool with that. The taco meat is good and the shell is crispy. They have a simple menu but good if you want decent food. They do have something called a spuderito which is a burrito made with french fries. read more

Bobby's place aka Rick's is a Pasadena staple. I've been a loyal patron since I was little sitting on the old counters waiting for my beef and bean burrito. Burgers are also a must try. Actually everything is really good, I must admit. Staff is amazing, hit up Bobby's next time you're in Dena. You won't regret it. read more
