Recommendations

"Pasadena’s own Lucky Boy often earns nods as the best around, and it’s not hard to see why. Size matters here, with portions big enough to feed an army — without skimping on the technique."
"This burrito, a savory beast that would fit comfortably in Shaquille O’Neal’s massive hands, comes with griddled potatoes, molten cheddar cheese, and a choice of meat (you’ll want bacon) in a toasty grilled flour tortilla."
"The walk-up stand and diner has been making this beast, overstuffed with eggs, what seems like an entire side of bacon, potatoes (either homefries or shredded) and cheese for years. It is pretty damn good - if not the best of all - and it easily feeds two, to boot."
"Is it the burrito nazi who yells at you, the oppressively long lines, or the perfectly cooked bacon that make this one of the best breakfast burritos in LA? Yes, it is all of those -- and the size of this monstrosity, which, for many people, could count for two or three meals."
"These burritos are chock-full of eggs, hash browns, cheese and your choice of ham, bacon or sausage. While they're not reinventing the wheel here, they do what they do well."
"Consider yourself lucky if you’ve tried Lucky Boy’s famous breakfast burritos with sausage, bacon, cheese, egg and hash browns. Add a little avocado if you’re feeling fancy, and put the hype to the test."
"The crispy diner-style hashbrowns, loads of melty cheddar, eggs, and bacon make the breakfast burrito at Lucky Boy the absolute platonic ideal. If you only eat one breakfast burrito for the rest of your life, it should be this one."
"While you can get it made with bacon or ham, the regulars know it’s the dense and rich chorizo that’s the biggest draw. Mounds of potatoes and indulgent wads of bright orange cheese intermingle with fluffy scrambled eggs, and the burrito is served with a few cups of tangy salsa."
