What People Are Saying About Rick's Drive-In

In Short – Hungry patrons--local businessmen, teenagers, construction workers--wait patiently on the sidewalk for their orders to pass through the small service windows. Outdoor-only seating authenticates the old-fashioned hamburger-stand experience. The simple menu board lists staples like hamburgers, tacos and burritos. French fries can be folded inside the "Spuderito," a concoction of shredded cheddar, french fries and plenty of fiery hot sauce in an oversized flour tortilla.

Closed!

My husband and I were excited to try this place after checking out the other reviews. Well, it's closed and the space has been developed into condos. So, don't bother driving around looking for it.

A-Mex done right. Great Burgers and Burritos.

by wandernn1 at Citysearch

This little crowded burger stand on Walnut has been serving the masses for a lot of years. This is one of your ground beef burrito stands, so don't go there expecting authentic Mexican food. What you will find however, is an array of classic Pasadena cuisine. Burritos, Burgers, Tacos, Fries, and Shakes. The Spuderito is an interesting attention getter but I would recommend more of the French Bread Cheeseburger or a 'Combo E', a combination burrito with everything. (Tomatoes, Lettuce and Onion) Rick's hot sauce is great and goes well with their burritos and tacos and even on their fries. Their prices are still reasonable, the service quick, and the food good enough to keep this place packed at lunch and dinner, 7 days a week.

  • Pros: Great American Burgers, Burritos, and Tacos 'To Go'
  • Cons: Crowded at times. Parking is bad during peak times. Only a couple tables outside.
