"Don’t be fooled by the cheeky acronym: BBAD is very good. The name stands for Breakfast Burritos All Day, and this daytime counter excels at packing full breakfast plates into tightly wrapped flour tortillas (Lucky Boy who?). Fillings include soft scrambled eggs, pork belly chile verde, chipotle aioli, and crispy potato pavé. The hotel’s breezy courtyard is open to customers, so you can leisurely eat one of the four burritos on the menu (including a vegetarian mushroom option) while sitting on cushy patio furniture and sipping a flat white." - brant cox, sylvio martins, andrew ryce

"Don’t be fooled by the cheeky acronym: BBAD is quite good. The name stands for Breakfast Burritos All Day, and this daytime counter excels at packing full breakfast plates into tightly wrapped tortillas. Open until 2pm, this Pasadena spot’s four-burrito menu features eye-catching fillings like fatty pork belly chile verde, potato pavé so crispy we initially thought they were bacon, and lots of velvety soft scrambled eggs so you’ll never end up with a mouthful of plain tortilla. The only unusual aspect of the experience is its location inside the lobby of the four-star Pasadena Hotel—an interesting choice for a grab-and-go counter but a handy place if you need somewhere to sit. The hotel’s quiet courtyard is open to BBAD customers, so you can enjoy a hefty burrito and latte with just your thoughts.

This burrito’s big chunks of pork belly and shoulder look snug next to the soft eggs, and it comes with a side of tart tomatillo salsa that balances out the rich meat. photo credit: Jon Demorest Basic Bae-con The Basic Bae-con is elevated, not basic. The undisputed star of this burrito is its crispy potato pavé that packs a loud crunch. Think of this burrito as a BEC stuffed with spicy aioli-drizzled patatas bravas." - Sylvio Martins

"BBAD is quite the name for a restaurant, but, fear not, it’s an acronym: Breakfast Burritos All Day. The pop-up turned brick-and-mortar inside a Pasadena hotel lobby serves—you guessed it—breakfast burritos, with fillings like braised pork, sauteed mushrooms, and twice-fried potatoes. You can also grab a coffee here to pair with your wrapped breakfast." - sylvio martins
