Amazing place to get a breakfast burrito. They were giving away free burritos to the first 100 people back in July which is how I found out about them. Their burritos are delicious! The OG cholula burrito has brown sugar bacon which mixes perfectly with their cholula sauce that they make. Thrilled to have another breakfast burrito place nearby. read more

Bad Ass Breakfast Burritos is located in Kitchen United Mix, a shared space that houses 9 other takeout/delivery businesses in the middle of Pasadena. It's a nice concept as it allows you to order various types of food and pick it up all in one spot. Parking is street, however, so good luck if you're picking up during lunch hour. I ordered a wurst burrito. It's pretty hefty, stuffed with three eggs, tater tots, cheese, and caramelized onions. You can also choose from several types of sausages, including impossible alternatives for the vegans. The flour tortilla is crisped so it gives it a nice texture. I've tried a lot of breakfast burritos in and around the LA area and I'd say this probably falls into the middle of the pack. Although solid, nothing really stands out. It's just your average breakfast burrito with your standard ingredients. The caramelized onions are a bit of a twist, I suppose, along with the ability to choose different types of meats and sauces. But it's not enough to stand out from the crowd. Also, from a price point perspective, it's a bit on the steep end for what you get. Still, if you've got a big appetite and are in the area, check them out. read more

Ordered $100 worth of food, burritos, and tater tot's, and requested delivery. When I received my delivery there were none of the condiments that I had specifically requested. I'm assuming, like myself, let hip is essential with tots. In the end we didn't eat them. None of their food is cheap so you'd hope it be worth it and a good experience. So simple to just pay attention and read the instructions. I'm not returning. read more

Ordered from here when I was looking for a new breakfast burrito spot. With a name like Bad Ass Breakfast Burritos, I figured I had to try them. Prices are reasonable even through delivery apps, so I appreciate that. The portions are generous and food quality is quite nice. The menu isn't huge, but they do offer a lot of meat options, including Beyond and Impossible meat. This is a huge bonus, in my book. I ordered one of their Impossible options. The burrito was quite big, and the three eggs took up lots of space. I appreciate that they actually give more eggs (three total) than cheaper filling like potatoes. Wasn't the biggest fan of the American cheese, which had a strong greasy taste. I would ask for this to be excluded next time. Highly recommend the onion rings. They have a light crispy coating that reminds me of tempura batter. The extra 79 cents for the garlic aioli is also worth it! read more

This place sent me the wrong order. I don't even know what this burrito is? So I can't eat it.I ordered the haus burrito with a sunny side up Egg , bacon and add avocado. I cannot get a hold of them because they have no phone number listed. Waited over an hour on Postmates. Which is only offering me a six dollar refund compared to the $23 I spent for nothing.

Picked up a couple of burritos. Burritos were huge. Big enough to be two meals. Beyond Breakfast Burrito was way better than expected. It actually had everything right and we both enjoyed this one quite a bit. It was my first time trying the beyond sausage and was quite impressed how good it was. Bronco Burrito is the reason they don't get more stars from me. It was good, but there were just way too much very strong flavors competing. Too much bacon. Too much cotija cheese. Too much picked jalapenos. Overall it was wayyyyy too salty. My tongue literally felt numb after eating this burrito. I'll stay away from this one in the future. read more

The cali burrito had arugula and a green creamy sauce in it, which created a fresh twist to the burrito. Had a bite of the wurst burrito and it was really yummy. It was a good sized portion. Both were very good size and tasted great. My husband finished his and was very full. I was only able to eat half. We also got an order of tater tots. read more

Just ordered a couple of burritos to help a friend after a night of fun. What better to order than Worth The Hangover burritos! This was a really good burrito, filled with all you need to sop up leftover fun - over easy eggs, tasty potatoes, sausage and cheese. It also has caramelized onions and spicy maple mayo which made it a little on the sweet side. All of this combined to make a large, tasty burrito that definitely did the job. For me personally, I like the Haus burrito a little better because it isn't as sweet. That didn't stop me from totally devouring the Worth The Hangover burrito and I would gladly do it again. read more

Ordered delivery through Uber eats so I don't have info on parking. These burritos are amazing! They're a little on the spicy side so if you have issues with that maybe ask for no spicy Mayo. Love that they have vegetarian options with impossible "meat." One of the best breakfast burritos I've had in a while. I ordered the Haus, wurst, and pastrami burritos. They were all great, you really can't go wrong with any item on the menu. The crispy tater tots are VERY crispy, to the point where there's hardly any potato inside . If you're looking for a tasty quick breakfast this is the spot. I recommend everything on the menu, but be sure to try the garlic aioli. read more

* My current FAVORITE BURRITO * My most searched words when it comes to food = Breakfast Burrito Where do I go when I want to treat myself? Bad Ass Burritos. I remember thinking that it can't be that good with that name...must be a joke... But then I tried it and was hooked. I don't like Kitchen United in general. However I have to get my Bad Ass Burrito from there. I did appreciate that the staff of Kitchen United was looking to see who walked in the door first to pick up their orders. It is an efficient process. They do get your orders correct. Tried several burritos but my go to order is the wurst burrito. I just love the overeasy egg with the sausage, crispy tater tots, cheese, caramelized onions. Burrito composition is on point. Deliciously full of flavor. If I could get more of that spicy mayo, I use it in my breakfast meals to reminisce about my burrito. This time I did measure it. It was 7.5 inch x 3.5 in x 1.5 in. It's a burrito meant to be eaten by two people. If I'm by myself, I eat half in a sitting. Ask me what I want to have for a meal, I'd be quite happy with a wurst burrito any day!!! read more

Huge burritos that are practically build your own. Nice and juicy which is how I prefer a burrito, not dry and boring. They are pretty rich so make sure you're ok with that. If you wanted. Boring burrito with just eggs and bacon, this ain't it. Once in a while the delivery takes too long (not their fault) but what is their fault is the tater tots box not being closed when out in the bag or the sauces you add on or pay for are missing. There are two similar sauces that the cook sometimes mixes up and gives me two kf the same when I request one of each. All in all recommend. read more

Bad ass burritos succeeded in taking breakfast burritos a step up. Got the bronco the first time and most recently tried the chaachi. - the menu finally adds fresh ideas to the breakfast burrito world. The proteins and fillings are unique. I loved the bronco because the bacon, jalepeno and cotija cheese played well together. The chaachi's sausage + pastrami filling made each bite meaty; so satisfying for my inner carnivore -Tater tots inside the burritos add crunchy texture. Really recommend you order takeout, so you can keep the tots as crispy as possible. Time is precious! - Hot sauces are awesome. Really like having spicy mayo as an option, for another layer if richness We've ordered takeout here twice now and definitely will be back. read more

After being presented with this place as an option for food today, I ordered the Wurst Burrito. As someone who had gastric bypass and a tiny tummy... this is easily 5 - 7 'meals'. Heh I love that it has 3 eggs, my voice was sunny side up, and a good portion of sausage; instead of being completely filled with the taste toys as a filter. It is filled with flavor layers! However, if you are similar to me (having Fibromyalgia) and being hypersensitive, PAY ATTENTION TO THE INGREDIENTS!! I saw that they included sides of the spicy mayo and hot sauce (packets of tapatio). What I missed is that they also include the spicy mayo inside the burrito. As a result, I had to add a lot of sour cream to be able to enjoy my burrito; my fault, not theirs! Can't wait for the next time we order from here and, hoping I remember to ask for no condiments inside. Hehe But, if you like the heat, GO FOR IT!! I used to love it and am sad that my tongue has become so sensitive, even table salt can cause it to burn. read more

I was in the area and the name alone reeled me in. I'm a huge fan of breakfast burritos and I had never seen a place dedicated solely to breakfast burritos. I decided to get the wurst burrito. It has cheese, caramelized onions (my fave), eggs, and the sausage of your choosing. I chose Polish kielbasa. Absolute perfection. The caramelized onions brought a sweetness to it. The sausage saltiness balanced it all out. Also, it was huge, like twice the size of my hand. I easily could have only eaten this whole thing for the day and been fine. My boyfriend got the Mongo's tacos which had green Chile sauce and chorizo on them, PACKED with flavor. I wish we had one of these locations where I live. read more

I LOVE breakfast burritos and was so excited to try this place. Unfortunately instead of "bad-ass," it was just "OK." My biggest complaint? The cheese. Who puts freaking (and frankly disgusting) American cheese in a burrito? Today I thought I'd give them one more chance by asking for different cheese. But the menu lists American cheese on EVERY burrito they make, and NO other cheese is ever mentioned, which suggests that they have no other types. So I thought I'd call them, except I can't find a phone number ANYWHERE. Not on their web site, not on Google, not on Yelp. So, apparently, they don't welcome communication, unless you're placing an order. Bummer. With a sensible cheese option (cheddar, anyone?) I likely would have become a very regular customer. read more

You could close your eyes and pick an item off the menu and have it easily become one of your new favorite dishes. Everything I've tried here I've loved. My favorite is their breakfast plate -- the hashbrowns ?! INSANE. Pure delicious buttery cheesy ooey gooey goodness Their eggs are pasture raised and top tier. I always get mine scrambled and dash it with their house made hot sauces which you can purchase (I did) Their burgers are amazing, the avocado fries are the bomb. The service is always pleasant! And it's cute and quaint inside. They also offer outside seating which is nice if you have any fur babies. Any excuse to come to Cos & Pi, I'm running over

I've heard some good things about this place and from other fellow yelpers friends, it must be…read moreworth it. Had a dinner reservation with some girlfriends celebrating two of their birthdays. The restaurant itself isn't too big but it does a pack a nice punch. Cute patio out front that takes some of the sidewalks and streets. Plenty of heat lamps which helped with the chilly nights. We got seated at one of the tables on the patios which was nice. Didn't really utilize inside area except for the restroom which it's quite cute in there. The rooms were pretty well decorated and executed. Nice bar area too. Like mentioned, we got seated on the patio and the heat lamps were great. Down to the menus, it's quite limited on dishes. Seemed like there were more shared plates versus the entrees. Drinks, it was fairly decent with their cocktails and wine. Service at the beginning was great. The staff were amazing and very friendly. We didn't order right away as we were still waiting for the last one to show. But did start off with some drinks. It didn't take that long for the first round which was nice. Food wise, the shared plate was a mixture of everything. Some of the olives, which is exactly what it is. The Belgian fries, nice thick cut fries with shredded pecorino cheese and a nice aioli sauce. We ended up getting a second order of it. The albacore tuna crudo was a hit which was really tasty. Chili ginger relish, mint and shallot, can't go wrong with that. Lastly the meatballs, tasty and very great for sharing. Entrees, the pan seared sea bass which I loved. Portion is pretty tiny which also seemed like they were a shared plate. Almost tapas styled. Nice chimichurri sauce and a side salad. The chicken Milanese also with a side salad of arugula. Simple dish but quite tasty. One of the salads that was somewhat hyped up by the waitress but it was just a salad. Decent but nothing major to rave about...lol... also the confit oyster mushrooms was major hit. Something that simple but quite tasty. And lastly the pan con tomate, rustic sourdough with tomatoes and burrata. Tasty as well. Overall the meal was good. From there, the second round of drinks did take a long time to arrive and with then plates that we shared, trying to get someone to clear the plates was another thing. Took a long for someone to clear the table before more items came. Even when the entrees came, all the empty starter plates were still there. And if someone did clear the plates, some was still left on the table. Finishing off the night, we did have the dessert which we tried all three. As it was two of our girlfriends birthday, they brought out a little bubbly for us to celebrate with the dessert. That was quite sweet and nice. Honestly opinion with the dessert, they were just ok. Nothing major to rave about. We tried all three on the menu and they were just ok. Overall, the food was great. Service was nice and the staffs were all very friendly. It did take a while for plates to get cleared from the table and second round did take a while, but it was manageable. It was a sweet gesture with the bubbly with the dessert which was greatly appreciated. The place is nice and great for catching up. Menu is limited and portions are quite small. You would have to get a good amount for sharing. Entrees, depending on what you order is small as well. But we enjoyed ourself.

Service: 5 stars, our server Kiana was outstanding. I troubled her for a glass of ice, she…read morebrought me a glass of ice and filled it with water for me and said I filled it with water for you! She read my mind and knew without me saying. They serve lukewarm water and the a/c was on but was not on ..if u catch my drift. The front hostess was also phenomenal, I had reservation for outdoor seating but since she saw that the sun was like glaring, she asked if I wanted to change to inside. Very obliging and accommodating. Food: 5 stars, surprisingly good, right amount for us. I was full but I can see where other reviewers say portions are small. It's small if u're a heavy eater. But the quality is definitely there. Ambiance: trendy, high energy, casual vibes where u can lounge and have a beer while munching on fries...or u can choose to be poshy and have a glass of wine with a salad and Chilean sea bass. It's flexible to accommodate both as there are different sections. Parking: street metered 1 hour parking. 3 stars, not their fault but 1 hour is simply not enough. It can get super busy and the server can be pulled left and right, so cut them some slack during super busy hours. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended .

We were seated quickly on the roof, right by the fire as the sun set, which created a warm and relaxed atmosphere perfect for a memorable visit. Sammy, was our server she had the best recommendations and delivered attentive, friendly service that made the experience extra special. We started with cocktails, all fantastic, with the White Lady and Gran Sour standing out as favorites among the group. For starters, the Brussel Sprouts, grilled cheese dippers, and the bread with whipped duck fat butter were all delicious, the bread and butter being especially indulgent. For entrees, the Stroganoff was amazing--comforting and perfectly seasoned, and served in a cute Dutch oven. The pork chop with mango chutney was also outstanding, pairing well with Cajun spices. I'm already planning a return visit to try the miso brown butter chicken and to explore the dessert menu. Overall, Granville offered a superb combination of superb service, strong cocktails, and standout dishes, all enjoyed in a stunning rooftop setting. I'll definitely be back to see Sammy again and to continue exploring the menu.

This time my husband got the Granada which was recommended to us by Henry and I got my usual Legendary. Both sandwiches were packed with meat/ chicken and on top of that they both came out hot and ready to devour. The bread was succulent and a good amount of mayo and ketchup was added. All in all this is the experience we had been wanting to have and I'm so glad we went back. Thank you to Henry, again, for going out of his way to make us feel welcomed and well attended. He was happy to have us back and we felt very appreciated as customers. Can't wait to come back and try other sandwiches!

Plus, when you have cheese, the juice from the meat, and other sauce in it, Mayo is just confusing and unnecessary. The sandwich itself tasted good, but it was a lot of bread for the meat and toppings served. I would've appreciated having some of the bread hollowed out. But if you like lots of bread, then this is your jam. Price is decent for this day and age, and it was a big sandwich. I might come back and try the patty melt. I love Patty melts
