    Breakfast Burrito
    Michelle T.

    I tried the breakfast burrito with sausage, egg, cheese and bacon! It was $14. Burrito was large enough to feed 2 people. The eggs are cheesey and there's a generous amount of the bacon. There's a free parking lot. There's outdoor and indoor seating available.

    This is our first time at Lucky Boy and we our trying their delicious items on thier menu especially their famous pastrami. Friends were telling me go to Lucky Boy in Pasadena and try their burgers and especially their two popular items their breakfast burrito and their famous pastrami. Then I heard pastrami I told my wife let's go Lucky Boy and try their delicious mouth-watering pastrami. We arrive there and step in the restaurant and look at their menu displaying on the screen,we look and found what we looking for the pastrami we order it and side salad and two drinks. The interior of the restaurant is really nice with awards and pictures of Pasadena and pictures of Lucky Boy through the years. Couple minutes later they our number my pickup our meal,I notice the pastrami was pretty big but the aroma was overwhelming smell of pastrami. Unwrapped the pastrami smell fantastic it was cut in half then I give the other half to wife. I took a bite of my half pastrami I say to my wife OMG so much flavors in the pastrami and very juicy. The juices of the pastrami is so good,the meat was lean and have some fat but fat is good it bring flavor to pastrami that make so good. My wife love the pastrami and enjoy it. The side salad was very good. Overall we enjoy the pastrami at Lucky Boy we will come back for more pastrami sandwich or try different items from their menu.

    Nostalgic, comfort food is what its giving. I used to gather with my friends when I was a school girl and we used to put money together to share a burger and chili fries and this took me back! We had a cheeseburger, chili fries, taquitos with guac and of course classic milkshakes! They were so delicious. Lucky Boy is known for their breakfast burrito but there's so much more!

    Lucky Boy A patient of mine was recommending this place as a good breakfast spot for breakfast burritos. I am a big breakfast burrito advocate. I do like them a certain way, though. I gave this place a try early in the morning. Plenty of parking before 8am on a weekday. It had very retro diner vibes and the service was very quick. The burrito was massive, and it was pretty good. I only wished I could choose more than one meat, I ended up with bacon, which was extremely crispy. The potatoes were a bit overwhelming for me. You'll definitely be full after this meal!

    Bacon breakfast burrito

    Breakfast burrito is absolutely massive and a good deal for $12. I only ate half for breakfast and had the other half for lunch. Order came out 3-4 min after ordering which is pretty quick considering how many people were there. Very generous on the bacon and it's super crunchy! The potatoes were a little soft for my preference, tots would've made this thing perfect! The salsa was just mid.

    I visited this location on a Sunday. The venue has a small private lot so parking is doable. There is also street parking if the lot is full. Ordering is done outside via a window. The menu is vast as it has breakfast & lunch options. I opted for the famous breakfast burrito with bacon & a lemonade. I was not prepared for that burrito. Size is comparable with chipotle. The burrito comes with a side of salsa which was nice. Indoor seating is also available with traditional diner booths. Self serve ketchup, pepper, napkins, & peppers are available as well. The burrito was a 9/10 for me as I felt it needed a bit more seasoning. Overall, a very yummy burrito. The staff were open to questions & very kind. It can be a bit loud as the venue can get packed however the venue has a nice selection of music ranging in genres which was a plus. I def want to come back for the zucchini fries & to try one of the burgers.

    ​This is an iconic Pasadena location that's been around longer than I've been alive. While the fries are good and the burger is solid, there is nothing special here to set it apart from other local spots. ​The staff is standard and the vibe is your typical retro stand. $20 for a burger, fries, and a drink. The value doesn't justify the hype. It isn't a bad meal, but it certainly didn't earn my praise.

    Ordering came on a Friday around 10:15am you know this place is loved heavily by the community! Their breakfast burritos live up the size hype especially in this economy! The burrito is legit as big as my face elongated! Food came out fast too! The inside tells so much history! The burrito its self was pretty bland definitely recommend adding a side of ranch or another salsa!

    Breakfast Burrito avocado
    Leonard K.

    This morning, I saw a breakfast burrito online and wanted to eat a breakfast burrito, so I made a commitment to come here and drive up through the wavy 110n freeway to get a burrito I haven't had for close to a decade. I gotta breakfast avocado burrito and the person I went with got a sausage breakfast burrito. It felt like they put an entire avocado in my burrito. It was hot and steamy all the way through and the salsa just makes it so delightful to eat. The sausage breakfast burrito came with 5 whole pieces of sausage. In addition to the main ingredient, there were crispy hash browns, eggs and cheese in the burritos. Plus they were like maybe 3 times bigger than what you'd find at a typical breakfast burrito joint. All for $11.90 in this economy? I feel that pricing is better than practically anywhere in LA for a breakfast burrito nowadays. The service was quick and attentive. There is a diner to eat in with a patio. If I could've ate more, I would've got more things. But it's definitely worth going here to get some extra large, hot and steamy breakfast burritos for sure!

    We came by in the afternoon and got a bacon breakfast burrito and a sausage breakfast burrito. We wanted to try the chorizo one, but we came after 10:30am -- next time! The burritos were huge. Lots of potato. Fillings are not evenly distributed so each bite is a mystery. Straightforward diner experience. The booths were cozy. Seemed like a nice place to sit and yap.

    Inside of Carne Asada Burrito
    Cher B.

    First time here.... Been wanting to come since I saw them on IG. Didnt realize you ordered at a window and hoped for seating inside. My mom was really craving a hot dog and they had them on the menu, so she got that. I ordered the carne asada burrito with guacamole and cheese. I thought I ordered the breakfast version but I did not. We also ordered a med French fry. The fries were bomb! The hit dog was a good size, and she really liked it. Ok, the burrito was huge and stuffed! It had rice, beans, carne, cheese, guac and pico. I could only eat about a quarter of it. The carne was sliced, not chopped as I thought it was be, but good flavor and tender. The gentleman at the window was very nice, but I felt rushed...especially since it was my first time- I had questions. We went in and grabbed a table and waited no more than 10 minutes for our food. Overall, great place and delicious food. Will definitely go back.

    Famous burrito w/ sausage
    Pamela K.

    Breakfast burrito craving net. Though maybe there's more egg and potatoes vs. sausage.... Still yummy and giant. For what you pay plus the salsa, Ismael this a regular spot. Super simple inside an outside, it's definitely a smaller party situation. Or as always, pick up! Parking is alright. Not a ton but enough. Service is fast and friendly. Perfect for a super simpler hole in the wall local joint.

    Zipporah M.

    Thought I reviewed this sometime ago! I've been here at least 4 times in the last year. It's been consistent every time- clean, quick, fresh & hot food! You can order at the outside window. There's seating in or outdoors. It's a bit pricey- regular sized fountain drink is $3 and side of fries $5. Zucchini fries very bland. Would be good with seasoning salt & garlic, but you get a very big amount. Fries are good standard ones.

    It's a HUGE BEAST!!!!

    Ask the Community - Lucky Boy

    Do they have beer battered onion rings?

    Lucky boy has their own recipe for their onion rings which are famous since 1961. They do not use beer.

    Did the bacon change? The last couple of times getting the breakfast burrito the bacon had a sweet taste to it

    I ordered the sausage burrito but don't think they change out the bacon.

    How's the rueben sandwich? I was just at the arroyo Pkwy location and I was informed they don't have it?

    It's actually a Classic Rueben. And it's very good.

    Will you be open the morning January 2nd 2023?

    I've eaten there on New Year's Day after the Rose Parade in past years, so I'm almost certain they will be open.

    Wait, so can we order breakfast burrito's all day or only until 10:30am??Thanks in advance🙏🏼☀️

    Breakfast Burritos should be available all day, only Chorizo stops being served by 11am.

    Are dogs allowed?

    They are allowed in the outdoor seating area.

    Help me decide, fellow Yelpers - for my first time, should I go for a breakfast burrito with pastrami or pastrami chili cheese fries? Are the burritos still served all day…

    Get the breakfast burrito HALF BACON/ HALF SAUSAGE and pastrami fries on side!! The burritos are served allday, the signs just old like the owner lol!! Get an orange bang or horchata while you're at it!!!

    Does anyone OG from Pasadena know if this is the same Lucky Boy from the late eighties/early nineties that made bomb ground beef tacos? I'm headed down south next week and I need to know if I should detour!

    yes it is original lucky boys

    Are breakfast burritos all day? my life depends on this answer just FYI

    Yes, all day! And it's not cash only. They accept card. I paid with card today. Chip and all.

    Can you get the breakfast burrito without meat or are they pre-made?

    Made to order. If u want no meat ask for no meat.

After visiting the Huntington Library in the grueling heat and hordes of people, looked for somewhere closeby to eat on co-pilot, and was suggested this place with a patio which was one of my requirements. Arrived and parked on the street on a Sunday which is free, and could not find the place it's kind of tucked away. After walking up a block found the charming little passage way with some patio seating. It seems like it's a family-owned and operated restaurant as always a great indicator of things to come is the complimentary chips and salsa. They were perfectly thin crispy non-salty and warm, paired with a nice salsa that seems house made but was a little too tomato/ketchupy but by no means bad. I had crispy taco with shredded beef and chili relleno combo. It was pretty good. ($21 )I enjoyed the rice and beans and it was a filling portion. Wife and mother-in-law split a carne asada plate the meat was flavorful and tender ($30) came with the cheese enchilada was also very enjoyable. They have a really large patio so it's hard to fill but people kept coming in and out so the locals know something. It won't blow you away but it is a very solid Mexican spot and I'm glad we stopped by. Dos Equis bottles were really cold, gracias para mi bungholio.

    We were seated right away when we arrived, great service, the margaritas were delicious !!…read moreMy daughter and I ordered the " Cochinita Pibill " it was delicious came with black beans and Rice, we had ordered Guacamole it was home made Came with "Chicharrón Never had it served that way, it was delicious.
