The 15 Best Breakfast Burritos In Los Angeles - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"BBAD stands for Breakfast Burritos All Day, except this casual counter closes at 2pm and, as you can guess by the title of this guide, its burritos are far from bad. This Pasadena spot has a short four-burrito menu filled with eye-catching ingredients, like pork belly chile verde, chipotle aioli, and potato pavé so crispy we initially thought they were bacon chunks. Plenty of thought (and time) goes into these giant burritos, and it shows, from the five-hour slow-cooked pork shoulder to the tart, low-and-slow tomatillo salsa. One of these portable breakfasts will run you about $17, but it’s stuffed to the brim with soft, velvety eggs, meaning no bites of plain tortillas." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder

"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

BBAD - Review - Pasadena - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"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. Food Rundown photo credit: Jon Demorest Chile Verde Burrito Most of us lack patience in the morning, so a slow-roasted pork burrito for breakfast is an indulgent treat. 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

Good spot for breakfast burritos. A little pricey and I wish the portion was bigger, but the burritos are definitely good. The green salsa is very mild. Ask for red for more spice. Simple interior with a few stools for seating. Service was good. Friendly staff. Street parking or there's a structure around the block on Mentor Ave.

Best burrito and best vibes in Pasadena. You can get your amazing breakfast and eat it in the hotel lobby. Truly the best way to start a morning in the city.

Staying at the hotel and decided to give this place a try since it’s attached to the hotel. Ordered my food and was told it would be about 10 minutes and that you can wait in the lobby or courtyard since it’s very tiny and crowded inside. When I ordered there was nowhere to stand so I went and watched the clock and returned 10 minutes later. The girl who took my order was then incredibly rude and chastised me for not waiting there and that she had called my name several times. I tried to be extra polite since she clearly was taking misplaced anger out on customers. She continued with her aggressive behavior when I asked about forks and argued with me when I said there were no forks put out. The coffee is very burnt and everything is extremely overpriced. The food doesn’t taste fresh and was very very salty. I rather go anywhere else for $40 for two coffees and two bowls. Truly regret leaving a tip and terrible way to start a beautiful spring morning. This was around 11AM, Sunday March 9th 2025 just in case management wishes to teach this staff member some basic customer service manners.

So far this is one of my 2 favorite burrito places. In Pasadena . I enjoy the food and the best part is you could chill and enjoy it at the hotel lobby. Bring your laptop and make it a day. Staff at the restaurant and hotel are super chill. And will bring it out to your table at the lobby. Free Parking with validation ! Easy to walked threw from parking area Nice outdoor patio or pay a fee by the pool area on the rooftop. Clean and reasonably priced food. Good service and great food.

It’s a good day to bbad - breakfast burritos all day. I love a menu that is short and sweet because that means that’s their specialty. There are 3 items and this place absolutely delivers. Definitely one of the top breakfast burritos I have ever had. Comes out fresh and hot! Absolutely delicious.

Basic Bae-con Burrito is my new all time favorite! Every component was made to perfection. We liked the food and coffee here better than Erth cafe hands down. Basic Bae-con had crispy bacon, crunchy potatoes pavé, housemade hot sauce, delicious chipotle aioli, sour cream, light cheese & fluffy scrambled eggs on a flour tortilla. Ask about the beautiful patio and enjoy your order with a little slice of paradise.

I saw this place mentioned in the LA Times as one of their favorite breakfast burrito places and this place lives up to the reputation and recommendation. The potatoes on these burritos are amazing and unique. The salsa isn't too spicy. Customers are allowed to use and sit in the lobby and courtyard of the Pasadena Hotel which is quite a gem.

Amazing breakfast burrito!! So yummy, fresh, and super filling. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and Jack made me a lovely horchata latte! The courtyard is a beautiful and serene place to eat and there are clean bathrooms in the hotel to use.

So delicious! I tried the horchata, chile verde burrito, and bacon burrito. The flavors are delightful, and the quality is top-notch. Everything I tried tastes rich in flavor and fresh ingredients. The slow-cooked meat in the chile verde burrito was generous and tender-- and paired great with an earthy sauce that's made with it. The fried potatoes (potatoes pavé) in the burrito are a highlight-- they're so tender on the inside and crispy on the outside... I could eat a bunch of those. It's deserving of the hype! Despite its simple trappings, Bbad makes elevated breakfast burritos that are reflected in its quality and craft. Breakfast burritos are a casual and homey eat, but I think the price of the burritos here reflect what you're paying for. (Just take a good nap after you finish your meal!)

Got the mushroom chorizo burrito. A few bites in, and I was already tired of eating it. I appreciate the time and care in making those potatoes, instead of using run of the mill tots like everyone else. But inside a burrito, those potatoes made the whole thing a grease bomb. They doused the burrito with the chipotle mayo ("aoli"). I couldn't taste anything else, especially not the mushrooms, and I tried so hard to taste those mushrooms. Why not just let me add the mayo if I want to, instead of drowning everything in it. I didn't notice on the menu, and found out days later that I had an option for how I wanted the eggs cooked. The woman who took my order did not ask. My coffee took forever, I think the order was never put in. Put in means immediately to the right of the woman who took my order. The mayo burrito was getting colder by the minute while I waited for my coffee. But the burrito is huge, so there's that for the high price.

After seeing a post on IG about BBAD, and being a fan of breakfast burritos, I had to try it, so I got a couple of friends together and drove to Pasadena. We ordered bacon burritos and chile verde burritos. Both were very tasty, but VERY greasy. I've never had such greasy burritos. The restaurant is a hole-in-wall next to the Pasadena Hotel. There are a handful of counter stools or you can eat in the hotel lobby. The staff was very friendly. Parking is on-street or BBAD will validate if you park in the hotel lot.

A tiny little store front adjacent to a lovely hotel doesn't look like much from the street. $18+ tip at the counter when ordering seems steep for a breakfast burrito with no beverage. However, the four star rating is all about the ambiance of dining in the adjacent courtyard of the hotel which is accessed through a side door leading to the hotel lobby. Seems like a very symbiotic relationship as I would recommend this hotel for out of town guests visiting Pasadena. Also giving a 4 star rating because just as we were getting up after 5 minutes to go back to the shop after securing a table, a staff member brought us our food! So good to have that experience which must be attributed to adding to the tip jar! The pork with chili verde was delicious and held me over until dinner!

Background On Visit: Caught up with a elementary school friend. We decided that Bbad would be a great place choice to do so. Credit Cards: Credit cards reign supreme at this shop. Location/Parking: Located inside the Pasadena Hotel on the corner of S. Mentor Ave. and Colorado Blvd.. 2 hour street parking can be found along S. Mentor Ave. or free parking in the hotel's parking lot with validation. Ambiance/Decor: Ambiance is okay with a few modern furnishings to sit on. Note: You can use the hotels' courtyard to eat and drink. Service: Service is alright. The staffers were friendly, attentive, offered great suggestions, and were quite informed about the shop. Breakfast Burrito Of Choice: 1) Basic Bae-con: Burrito consists of bacon, potatoes cubed and pavé, habanero hot sauce, chipotle aoili, sour cream, cheese & eggs (scrambled or over-easy) on a flour tortilla. 2) Mushroom Chorizo:

This spot is all the hype right now! We parked in the hotel underground structure which was confusing to navigate. Once you get into the lobby, turn left twice. While it was crowded, our burritos took 20 mins which wasn't bad! Our order was kinda mixed up but they fixed it. Taste - this burrito is just okay. We tried both the bae-con and chile verde. I feel like both were just missing something ya know?? At $17 a burrito, I honestly rather pay a few dollars more and get wake & late.

I liked Bbad enough to make a return visit. Great burritos. Great service. A unique option to enjoy your visit at the Pasadena Hotel. Although Bbad technically isn't part of the Pasadena Hotel, they practically are. Patrons can park at the hotel and eat in the courtyard. They seem to compliment each other really well. CHILE VERDE WITH BRAISED PORK This is my favorite item here. I like the flavors and the nice balance of ingredients. The Salinas-style chile verde starts with a 6-hour pork stock. Then, tomatillos stew for 4+ hours caramelized onions, garlic, cilantro, lime, serranos, and butter are blended in BASIC BACON The eggs and potatoes really stand out. The potatoes aren't the typical ones you see in ordinary breakfast burritos. The potatoes pavé are dozens of thinly sliced potato layers baked at 270° for 2 hours and 40 minutes compressed overnight cubed and deep fried to order. SERVICE Great people work here. It's always a good time. PARKING Limited street parking. Hotel parking garage (validated)

I am a fan of burritos and Bbad was next on the list to try. Had it not been for Yelp, I wouldn't have found this place, as it's tucked away in the Pasadena Hotel. The burrito was well made and held together easily. The meats (chile verde and bacon) we plentiful and the salsas were flavorful. But man oh man, those crispy potatoes were stellar! I only wish they sold them as a side. Staff were friendly and helpful. You can eat your burrito in the hotel lobby or in the courtyard that has around 10 tables. Still thinking of those potatoes!

I got the chile verde with braised pork burrito for brunch, and it was honestly a bit too salty for my liking. It was also a little pricey for a breakfast burrito. I also got their horchata, and that was delicious! I would definitely recommend trying it out, as it was very refreshing!

If you're a fan of breakfast burritos, you *have* to check out Bbad as this place is hands down one of the best in town. From the moment you walk in, the smells alone are enough to make you crave one of their massive, perfectly wrapped creations. They've got some solid options, including a vegan mushroom soyrizo that we I decided to go with The burrito itself is an art form: warm, soft flour tortillas packed with fresh ingredients that don't skimp on flavor. The eggs are always fluffy and perfectly cooked, and the burrito itself was juicy without much greasiness. What sets Bbad aside is the attention to detail--each ingredient tastes fresh, and they're generous with the fillings, so every bite is a delicious explosion of flavor. Plus, the staff is friendly, and the place has a very hip vibe. Whether you're in a rush or have time to sit down and enjoy, this spot never disappoints. I would recommend going next door to the Pasadena hotel as it is gorgeous. You can even have your food in their amazing gardens.

Located inside the Pasadena hotel, this place feels like an underrated spot easy to pass by. Heard that they have one of the best breakfast burritos and wanted to try. You can either order on the kiosk or with the cashier. I got the basic bae-con, and it was prepared promptly. There is a nice lobby area or courtyard to enjoy on the spot, which we did. The burrito was neatly packaged and hot. I was impressed by the potatoes, which were nicely crisp and flakey. The scrambled eggs were fluffy and executed well, with a melted cheese pull. Overall, a really solid breakfast burrito!

Top notch breakfast burritos nestled in an historic pasadena hotel with a 1920's ambiance and less than one block from Colorado & Lake! Easy free parking and definitely one of the best breakfast burritos if not the best I've had!! So I've only had the basic-bacon but that's because it's sooo good! The potatoes are killer - eat this burrito there or shortly after you pick it up for the best BBAD experience - those crispy crunchy Madeline thin layered potato dream!! If I could I'd order a side item of just these so good! The horchata is delicious and good deal, but who can say no to a Mexican coke! They have plenty of options of if you want a espresso out of there la marzocco machine.. The place is busy - it's good so if you have to wait walk around! So many places near by, I'll be back many times! Best new bburrito in town!!

Talk about delish! Yes yes and yes I would order this pork rib burrito again. Now there is a long line on Saturday morning so be prepared parking at the green curb won't work. Every customer is leaving happy however. Now the chile verde braised pork burrito....the best breakfast burrito I've EVER had. Crispy pork bites nestled in a tortilla with tons of scrambled eggs (in the middle of US egg shortage). I am super satisfied and appreciate this perk so much. Thanks for the delicious horchata to wash it all down too. See you soon

I never heard about Bbad until a social media food blogger mentioned this place and did a giveaway for it. I decided to enter and was one of the winners! (Thank you, KH!) Parking can be a little tricky. I ended up parking in the wrong lot because my navigation brought me there. Side streets would've been the best option (for me). Anyway, upon arriving, I was greeted by a very nice man behind the counter. I gave him my name and he instantly knew and said he was expecting me. I redeemed my winnings of a breakfast burrito and a cup of iced horchata. The place is inside The Pasadena Hotel, facing Colorado Blvd. You most likely wouldn't see the place because it's small and the signage doesn't stand out. However, inside was clean, welcoming, and small. After you order, your "dine-in experience" would be the hotel lobby. There's plenty of chairs and tables to enjoy your meal at. The breakfast burrito was delicious! The eggs were fluffy, the meat was nicely marinated, and the potatoes, although slightly oily, were still crunchy. It definitely pairs well with the horchata, which was very refreshing. I really enjoyed trying out Bbad and will stop by again in the future. Thank you!

The food was good but the vibes were great. Tucked inside the historic Pasadena Hotel, Bbad serves up some tasty brekkie burritos for early risers. I got their bacon, egg bowl and my husband opted for their vegan mushroom chorizo burrito. Service was slower than expected but they were really busy. I love more than anything enjoying our food in their quaint courtyard as it truly felt like a hidden gem.

Wow! This place is really tasty. If you want a GOOD and FLAVORFUL breakfast burrito, i suggest trying this spot! I ordered the "basic bacon," and they were not stingy with the bacon. The potato's weren't cut super big and unseasoned, they were cut nicely and it wasn't biting into bland potato... the sauces were good. I tried the salsa verde which was probably my favorite and the aioli i tried as well. I also tried the horchata which was yummy. I think they use coconut milk which was different and again, yummy. I will definitely try this spot again when i am craving a GOOD breakfast burrito.

My family and I went to this place last week and I have to say we LOVE their burritos!!! The best breakfast burritos I ever had! made with love and fresh, quality ingredients--perfect for both meat lovers and vegans alike! * Chile Verde: A rich, flavorful pork stew made with a 6-hour pork stock and slow-cooked with tomatillos, caramelized onions, garlic, and more. * Mushroom Chorizo: A wholesome vegan chorizo crafted from mushrooms, garlic, olive oil, and vinegar--so delicious! * Basic Bacon: Fluffy eggs, crispy potatoes, and smoky bacon all wrapped to perfection. My favorite part? Everything is homemade--an amazing way to start the day! They also serve drinks like lattes and horchata. We got a latte and a strawberry horchata, both made with healthy, high-quality ingredients. Can't wait to go back again! Located inside the Pasadena Hotel & Pool, accessible through the street-side door. Parking is available on the street or in the hotel lot with validation.

Greeted warmly and friendly...I've never been there so I asked for some suggestions and I got the chili Verde burrito! I just took a bite and there is so much flavor in my mouth is so happy right now and my stomach is even happier! I'm working in the area in the next couple days. I'm gonna come in and try the bacon one. Super cool vibe spot kind of connected to the Pasadena pool and hotel. This place is clean, cool and it's got a record player. You can play some tunes while you're waiting for your burrito. This spot has got it going on. Will definitely return.

The restaurant is on the right side of the hotel. Easy to miss if youre walking fast. my wife and I came an hour before they closed and they were very welcoming. We ordered two burritos: chill verde and mushroom chorizo. Got two drinks: horchata and espresso tonic. Burritos were good but a bit small. They had these potatoe clusters in them that were good. Would definitely get tbe mushroom chorizo burrito again. Both drinks were refreshing! We ended up eating in the hotel lounge and patio. Nice area but there were alot of plantains that had fallen onto the floor. Would come back for their burritos and drinks!

OMG! I just discovered this place and I am sorry I didn't know about it sooner. The Chile Verde burrito with Braised Pork was the BOMB! Super delicious. generous size and the bonus is they make the eggs fresh the way you want them. A jammy egg makes a burrito so tasty and gooey instead of the usual scrambled rubber eggs. Espresso - oh man! You can tell when you walk in that the Espresso is serious. They have the gold standard for espresso brews and the barista, Jack, knows what he is doing. The espresso tonic was beautiful and had the perfect balance of flavor. The latte was so smooth. Don't choose betwen the espresso or burritos and get them both. Bonus is they are connected to the lobby of the Pasadena Hotel and the lobby is "old school" ambiance and beauty.

Must try. I ordered the mushroom chorizo and Chile Verde with Braised Pork. The online order was quick and easy. Out of the two, mushroom chorizo was the winner, crunchy, savory, just heavenly. The chile verde with pork was also good, very meaty and definitely for someone who enjoys their protein in a burrito, but compared the two, the chorizo's flavor was just fantastic. Interior is small. Staff is very friendly and the entire process of ordering and pickup was a breeze. A bit on the pricier end but I may include this place in my regular breakfast burrito rotation.

### 2024 review 28/100 ### After the most horrible (post election) week, it's been challenging to look for the little things that bring me joy... Thanks Jason & team for this little hidden gem of an oasis inside the Pasadena Hotel & Pool -- where it feels soooooo good to BBAD and the perfect escape on a Sunday afternoon! After we got our order of elevated burritos & choice of caffeine, we made our way to the lush backyard where we thoroughly enjoyed a couple hours filling our bellies with delicious generously stuffed burritos while listening to birds chirping and the babble of the fountain. I discovered BBAD when their crispy fried pavé potatoes caught my eye on IG a couple weeks ago and couldn't wait to visit. WOW those crispy pavé potato cubes are like crack! So fun to get to chat with the owner Jason Hobbs and was thrilled to even get to sample the crispy pavé potato. Since it was our first visit, we decided to try 3 burritos: 1) Chile Verde with braised pork 2) Mushroom chorizo 3) Basic Bae-con Both me and Hubs top pick was the Chile Verde with braised pork!! It was hard to share that burrito... LOL. I was in the mood for a dirty horchata and Hubs tried the Espresso Tonic that was def insta worthy, unique and surprisingly so good. 2-hour parking validation in the parking structure attached to the hotel, entrance on Colorado Blvd. We'll B-BACK to BBAD!!!

I was super excited to try this place after reading about it while looking for breakfast places in Pasadena. I am rarely in the area but took a an early train to go to a work meeting and wanted to get breakfast. I got the mushroom soyrizo burrito and found it greasy, kind of flavorless, and forgettable. I was pretty disappointed.

Basically was scammed by this spot. Ordered a chile verde burrito with "braised pork". The breakfast burrito came with ZERO meat but that's not even the disappointing part. Decided to still try to enjoy the burrito and see if the $18 price point is justified. Immediately I noticed these mushy inedible "potato cubes" I guess you could call them. The breakfast burrito itself lacked any hint of flavor it was basically a flour tortilla with 2 eggs over easy. Chile Verde salsa was non existent or maybe it was not but because lack of flavor didn't notice it. Side salsa they charge for which is unheard of in most spots is EXTREMELY oily. Haven't really came across a salsa that consist of more oil than anything. The oil made it quite inedible as well. Salsa comes in a paper cup as well. Diabolical. All in all I had to call it quits after a couple bites and an attempt to try to enjoy it. For the 18 dollar price point there are probably 10-15 different spots within a 1 mile radius that would get you a WAY BETTER breakfast burrito for half the price. Shame this food had to go to waste. Update: since I left this review the owner of this establishment has since responded saying I didn't enjoy the burrito because it was delivered and cold. It was neither. I picked it up and it was not cold.

I was really excited to try this place. It is located in a hotel that has amazing places to sit and have your burrito. The cashier was very helpful and patient. I ordered one burrito and after taxes and tip I paid about $19-$20, which I think is high for a small burrito. The ambiance felt a bit like they turned the full size kitchen into a smaller kitchen with a register. You will get better ambiance in the hotels lobby. Mushroom Chorizo- 4/10 This is the only non pork option on the menu. The mushroom chorizo and potato pave were both burnt. The famous potato pave tasted like burnt kettle chips. The habanero hot sauce tasted like Pace salsa but more acidity. Habanero hot sauce is what made this burrito hard for me to eat as it threw off the flavor.

Super good. I'd heard about this place continually and was following them on the 'gram. So late this morning, I headed up the 110 to check it out. It's an odd set up: you park in the (free with validation) hotel's lot, navigate a maze of elevators and corridors, walk through the 1920s lobby (maybe not quite spectacular, but very vibey just the same) to find BBAD. And then you order, wait a hot minute, and devour what you got in the hotel's lobby. Because what kind of weirdo would drive all the way home with a fresh breakfast burrito. That thing is earin It took about ten minutes to get my burrito on a Saturday morning just before noon. That's pretty quick. The gents behind the counter are communicative about the wait time and genuinely interested in you having a good experience -- example, my flat white landed well ahead of my burrito apparently and without me asking, the gentleman working there made me a fresh one so it was hot. 'It's probably like melted ice cream, he said,' -- pretty awesome level of care. The burrito was great. Not light but less heavy than most, and nuanced and delicious. They gave me extra salsa and aioli, which came in handy. And chilling in the hotel lobby was definitely a cool experience. It's not cheap -- it was close to $30 for a burrito and a flat white with tip -- but what are you going to do? LA is expensive and it was fun and quality costs,. Recommended.

I had their pork chili verde breakfast burrito (pork shoulder, crispy potatoes, scrambled eggs, chili verde salsa). It was delicious but a bit greasy. All of the ingredients were great in terms of quality and quantity and, the chili verde salsa was terrific. Service was great, and although BBAD doesn't have tables, it's attached to the historic Pasadena Hotel, and you are welcome to eat in their beautiful lobby or their terrific courtyard.

Delicious burritos. It was cool that their set up was inside a hotel lobby so we were able to just hang out inside there to eat our meal. The guy who took our order was really nice and helped clarify what we should order and it was a better recommendation than what I was going to pick. It didn't take too long to get our food. I would definitely come back here for a breakfast burrito.

You can access the restaurant via the street or through the hotel! Food -- delicious -- i got the pork burrito which was properly seasoned -- although I think it was fried a bit too much -- no meat and all crunch. The burrito consists of eggs (choice in how you want it cooked), the pork, and the sauce. The total for this burrito and tip came out to be about $20. Although the burrito was good. I felt like it was definitely more on the expensive side -- especially since there was no salsa or potatoes or pico de gallo or any other ingredient given. There were sauce packets offered -- ketchup and tabasco sauce, if there was salsa that would def been the cherry on top. Service -- people were friendly, and its a walk-up to the counter to order/pay type of place so definitely was quick to be seen. We came at a busy time so we waited about 20 minutes to get our burritos. Definitely not a grab and go. Ambiance -- There are no seating inside, but there is a bit in the street-facing side. There is also a courtyard in the hotel that you can eat at. Keep in mind there is no water -- so definitely bring your own water or buy the water bottles they offer. I think the hotel may offer water, but I wasn't sure where to find that. Parking - there is street parking, and I'm not sure if the hotel offers free parking. it seemed like a place that locals would walk to!

Wow! What a great stumble to this new breakfast burrito spot! It's located in the Pasadena Hotel and it's a small shop! Such a great vibe inside. Initially we were bummed they didn't have anywhere to sit inside but later come to find out we can eat inside the hotel lobby and courtyard, which was so cool! Hubs and I got the basic baecon burrito and the mushroom chorizo burrito to share with iced vanilla latte with oat milk. Let me start by saying I do not like mushroom nor do I eat it but when the worker told me some guy thought it tasted like meat and didn't know it was mushroom, I had to try it. It was AMAZING!!! There was crispy potatoes in there too and I'm not a big fan of crispy but wow the flavors complemented really well! The iced latte was also delicious!!! Will definitely be back :)

Got here around 10am on a Saturday and got the pork belly breakfast burrito to go. You can choose either scrambled eggs or over easy eggs. The burrito is pretty big and stuffed with goodies! There's definitely a good proportion of pork in there and the potatoes are yummy as well! Everything was great except it is a little bit too salty but that's just personal preference! Pro tip: In case it's hard to find street parking, they also validate for parking (2 hours) at the Pasadena Hotel - entrance on Mentor Ave. Staff were super friendly and they also have a small selection of snacks at the back. It is mostly a to-go place but there is some seating at the hotel lobby.

This photo isn't proper justice for how absolutely amazing there burritos are! Mushroom Chorizo is a 10/10 and my favorite. All burritos are flame, can't go wrong, especially with their incredible sauces. You also have the option to eat within the beautiful hotel lobby. Shoutout to Justine for the great service! It's definitely a good day to be bad

Amazing breakfast burritos! They put in extra effort in the prep with elevated ingredients to make a truly unique, delicious burrito. The owners are the nicest people! They have a background in visual art and design and the restaurant has a cool, retro, Classic rock vibe. Will definitely be back!

Really wanted to like this spot and their burritos either those magic looking potato's. I went with my bff who was also excited to try. Neither of us could finish our burritos, not bc they were extra large - but because they were so greasy. Really bummed.

A kind of a hidden spot, but a good place to grab a burrito! It is a bit pricey but the taste and the sauce is packed with flavor.

I can see why this place is called Bbad. Literally just picked this up 20min ago and instantly regretted buying into the hype. Chile verde burrito is a 1.5 at best. No flavor whatsoever. Idk if it was an off day, but the only thing that was decent was the tortilla. What a waste of 40 bucks.

This was my first time trying this spot and it was good! The mushroom chorizo burrito is a clever and delicious creation. The chipotle aioli paired with the potato crunch was fantastic and the burrito itself was generously sized. I also loved the outdoor dining concept at the hotel, it created a lovely atmosphere, and there were plenty of chairs and tables, making it feel less crowded. I would suggest adding avocado or some veggies like pico de gallo to take the burrito to the next level!

The spot is located on the corner of the Pasadena Hotel. While it's not affiliated with the hotel, you do get access to the courtyard--which I'll get to in a moment. I received my burrito in a reasonable amount of time, even though there were plenty of walk-up and pickup orders. When we asked if there was seating, we were directed to the courtyard, which was spacious with plenty of tables and shade. Strolling through the Pasadena Hotel, you'll notice everything is well-maintained and clean. Now, onto the burrito! We unwrapped it, and wow--those potatoes were delicious! The way they prepare their potatoes is noticeably different from what you'd find at most local spots. Typically, other places that use potatoes in their burritos rely on frozen hashbrowns, but not here! This place uses freshly prepared, layered, crispy potatoes that add a whole new level of flavor. Don't forget to drizzle on some sauce--it really takes it to the next level.

Ordered the chile verde, extremely flavorful and excellent contrast in textures. I wanna try their side sauces next time but only out of curiosity, not necessity. Great customer service and the eating area outside is classic. Feels like I am at a resort...will come back for sure. Prices are normal for location of restaurant.

My lord. That's a glorious breakfast burrito. I was a bit annoyed at how expensive they are...but they deliver on their quality, so it's worth it. Killer sauce too.

The service is well! I haven't had a good breakfast burrito like that in a long time. The price is worth it. I'd put this on my list of "hole in the wall" food places. The atmosphere is very friendly.

THE BEST breakfast burrito I've ever had. Very friendly staff and quick service ! It's connected to the Pasadena hotel and there's a really pretty and quiet courtyard area that you can sit at. I got their bacon burrito and I'm still thinking about it the next day. Definitely coming back !

Overall thought the burrito was pretty good. Had the green verde pork with eggs, pork and potatoes. All three sauces on the side were good. Only complaint, the burrito was greasy and I only had 4 potatoes in my burrito. Could've used more. I would say that the pork was skimpy also but I'm thinking the grease that I was referring to was from the pork. More pork would've meant more grease. A bit pricey but that comes with the area. The highlight for me was the strawberry horchata. Chef's kiss to the young lady who made that.

Today, a miracle occurred. I visited Bbad for the first time and, shortly after biting into the Bae-con-a burrito recommended by the staff on-site-I died and went to heaven. In heaven, the Lord Almighty herself appeared to me and asked me, "Why are you here so soon, child? I wasn't expecting you for some time." I looked at her adoringly, partially because she acknowledged I had yet a life to live and because, well... I was at the pearly gates, and then replied, "Lord, I bit into the best breakfast burrito I've ever tasted and my body knew that it would never find a better breakfast burrito in all the land, so it was ready to depart. And now... well... I'm here." I returned from this out-of-body experience and, fortunately, still had more bites left of my tasty Bae-con burrito to enjoy. I suppose what made this experience so other-worldly, after some prayer and contemplation, was that finally, finally... a damn breakfast burrito place offered burritos with over easy eggs. It wasn't just that, though. It wasn't dry and nasty as "insert pretty much every LA place". It was fresh, filled with golden caramelized onions, fine potatoes cut with the sharpest blade that would make Samwise repeat on loop "Po-ta-toes" with dead meme yearnings the internet craves each week, everything was homemade (even the sauces!), and it was worth every penny. Miraculous. One day when I'm old and need to share stories to the children after me, I'll tell them of the day I saw the Lord at Bbad. They'll rejoice, we'll cry together, and then they'll say, "Sure, grandpa. Let's get you to bed."

My Girlfriend and I tried this spot after being let down multiple times with other breakfast burritos. It's likely due to our lack of experience because we did not grow up here. With that being said; this is one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had!! i'm from Houston Texas so I'm used to breakfast tacos; I'm familiar with what the vibe of a breakfast burrito should be and this thing absolutely smashed my expectations!! The potatoes, the bacon and the eggs were all cooked to perfection. The potatoes were crispy and seasoned, the bacon was plentiful and savory and the eggs were mind-blowingly juicy!! Also the staff were super nice!! We will absolutely come back to this place and i'm so glad we tried it!

Where to start!? The burritos are delicious and you can really see the time and effort they put into making them. I get the braised pork with scrambled eggs. The potato pavé is really an amazing touch to the burrito! Don't be scared of the habanero salsa because it's not spicy. If you want something spicy to add to your burrito they do offer hot sauce packets. The coffee is also amazing and you can tell the barista loves his job and truly wants you to enjoy your drink. The vibes are immaculate! There is indoor and outdoor areas to eat within the Pasadena hotel and if it's not too busy they will even deliver your food to you with a smile. This place is a must visit. Trust me you won't regret it!

Some of the best breakfast burritos in LA, chef Jason Hobbs has crafted a superb breakfast menu including a new strawberry horchata that is a must-try! I can't wait to go back to bbad!! The ambiance was very cutesy and very mindful, with plenty of seating options inside the Pasadena Hotel! Wonderful Service, the whole staff was so kind!

Awesome craft breakfast burrito shop located adjacent to the Pasadena Hotel & Pool. A bit pricey but an excellent option when staying nearby. Potatoes in the burrito were fantastic!
