Day 73: Lucky Boy Drive-In Restaurant

Lucky Boy Restaurant is hands down the best place to get a huge, tasty, greasy breakfast burrito in Pasadena!

Day 73 of 365 Things To Do In Pasadena™ invites us to Lucky Boy Restaurant where major heart burn is WORTH having!

This place is home to all the teenagers around Pasadena. Every kid, and a kid at heart, in and around Pasadena wants a Lucky Boy breakfast burrito!

The burrito is filled with a perfect amount (tons!) of everything including eggs, cheese, bacon, sausage, and hash browns. If you are craving greasy, inexpensive, and LEGENDARY food then Lucky Boy is extremely satisfying!

WARNING: This breakfast burrito can hardly be finished by one person… from my experience it is best to split with a friend or two… unless you have just come from an extreme workout, and can’t resist eating a HUGE burrito all by yourself!

When you are in the Pasadena area, there are so many good reasons to have a LB breakfast burrito one morning:

1. It is a massive burrito (what could be better!)

2. It is extremely affordable for the size, meats, etc. ($5.20 for one breakfast burrito)

3. Choice of salsa, home-made ranch, or ketchup

4. Loads of meat! Bacon, sausage, or ham…. or a combo of 2, or the famous triple threat!

5. And I saved the best for last… this burrito is so delicious that it can put you in a food coma for the rest of the day!

So, I think after having this burrito your tummy will be full of content! This baby is definitely worth trying at least once in your lifetime for a heart melting (and burning!) experience. 😉

They are open Monday-Friday from 6 A.M. – 2 A.M., and they accept only cash.

So come on down to Pasadena’s Lucky Boy Drive-In Restaurant, and get a taste of the comfort food that local Pasadeneans love!

They are located at 640 S. Arroyo Pkwy in Pasadena right across from Trader Joe’s.

Secluded beyond lush hedges and a private gate, this distinguished 1923 estate by celebrated and important architect Reginald Johnson embodies timeless elegance and is located on a full level acre just north of The Huntington Library. Spanning over 5,000 square feet, the home’s gracious interiors begin with a wood-paneled central hall which opens up to a light-filled living room with three French doors, an elegant dining room and a chef’s kitchen with generous island, butler’s pantry, and breakfast nook. Its grand staircase leads to two of three spacious guest suites and the primary retreat offering abundant closets and a marble-clad bath. The already stately colonial revival style home transcended its own stature with a massive neomodernist Main Room addition in 1991 with a commanding presence that sets up long views up and down the giant herringbone brick patio, sparkling pool and landscaped gardens, serving as a library, art gallery and/or primary indoor/outdoor entertainment area. A lighted championship north-south tennis court with gazebo, multiple patios and an orchard allows for refined entertaining and expansive play. Fenced and hidden from the street by dense greenery, the estate affords both total privacy and the capacity to be an alluring social hub. Down the street from Caltech and South Lake Avenue with easy access to Greater Los Angeles, this complete property is absolutely one of a kind and on the market for the first time in nearly half a century.
