My husband and I stopped by this small, locally owned hamburger place on a rainy afternoon. The…read moreowner wasn't there at first, and a woman who was helping run things greeted us and took our order. She was very direct and told us upfront it would be about a 20-minute wait, which I appreciated. While we waited, I sat in the car listening to the thunder and rain. There was something peaceful and simple about that moment and I loved it. My husband stayed inside to wait for the food. During that time, a couple came back in upset about the wait and asked for their money back. The owner had just returned from a family event and was clearly trying her best to make things right. Even when the couple was rude, she handled it with grace and empathy, saying, "I'm sad that we failed you." It was such a human moment. One that showed how much she cares about her customers and her business. And our hamburgers were absolutely delicious! Definitely worth the wait. I enjoyed everything about this experience. Support small businesses like this one, friends! It's a hidden gem where real people work hard and care deeply about what they serve.

Think old-fashioned burger stand from many yesteryears. I doubt there has been many updates on the 93 years since this place began. The place had a vintage diner kind of ambiance to it. These folks have been slapping burgers in front of folks since 1932. So if my math adds up, that is 93 years of burgers and fries from these guys. Knowing that fact, I had to give them a try! After walking in, I approached the counter. The person who took our order was friendly and super efficient. She was helpful in explaining how things worked to these two first-timers. Walking away from the counterfeit , I in in had gone full steam ahead having ordered a Chili-Cheeseburger and Fries. I was taken aback when the counter person informed us it might be about 20 minutes but I went with it as they were busy. It took all of 20 minutes to get our order, but let me tell you, the wait was worth every second. This burger is not being over-hyped, it's amazing!

I could tell when I looked at the patties I would be disappointed. They weren't really smash patties at all, more like the size and shape of a McDonald's quarter pounder. They tasted like the prepackaged patties you would get out of a box or bag. I can't say for sure, but the quality was just not great. I've eaten my fair share of burgers around the metroplex, so I know good quality when I have it. The kid enjoyed his food and the fries were really good, hence the 3 stars. At $11 for the basic burger, I wouldn't visit again. I hate leaving reviews like this!

She got home and started pulling out said sandwiches and sides only to discover they had not included my intended pork sandwich. I asked the wife to call back up to them and let them know I was coming back into town to get my sandwich. $5 is $5 at this point and I wouldn't have anything but sides if I didn't head back into town. Got told when I got there by the female manager on duty tonight that I was lying and I had probably ate it already so was coming back to try and steal another from them. Long story, finally got my pork sandwich the wife paid for and, thankfully a little later I found out, a burger too. Got home, opened the pork sandwich and pathetic pork sandwich is a better name for it. Literally one small spoon size line of pork meat in the center of the otherwise dry bottom bun and four pickles with a swipe of some red sauce that smells like cheap bbq sauce on the top bun. Found out as well that they never picked up the phone the whole time I was gone to correct the issue that way so wife got a constant busy signal for over thirty minutes. Also, at least half of what we did get at first was cold (cheesy fries), burnt (onion rings), or chewy/undercooked (wacky pack chicken tenders) depending on item. Overall, the pathetic pork just cost me $5+ gas because no one wants to eat it with how it looks and wasted gas driving back and forth from Cleburne for this pathetic pork sandwich. Moral of the story: Don't waste your time or money.

I was really excited to try this place out after reading all the great reviews on Yelp. My husband and I went friday night. We didnt known it was a sit yourself when we walked in. The hostess asked us how many and we told her 2. It kinda went downhill from that. We just kinda stood there for a minute not knowing what to do...so i asked, so do we seat ourselves? Yes she said, which confused me because why did she need to know how many?! The chips and hot sauce were really good. That was all that was good. Where I was sitting, I had a perfect view of the area where they refilled drinks and hot sauces. They had this white 5 gallon bucket that contained the hot sauce. It was the nastiest bucket! Dried hot sauce splattered all down the side. Made me ill to look at it, mainly because I've seen restaurant stakeout and mystery diners too many times. The food was just ok. I have had better from a frozen mexican tv dinner. Definately not worth going back for if anything other than chips and hot sauce. I was so dissapointed with his place. I wouldn't go back or reccommend it to anyone the way i do Antonios in Burleson, Tx. read more

If I could give ZERO STARS, I would! This place is a place of discrimination and hate. The absolute WORSE customer experience EVER.

Any service served out with the kind of flavor these people dish out is disgusting. read more

Since I didn't feel like cooking tonight, we finally decided to give it a try. We ordered online and pickup was a breeze. First off, La Mesa does a fantastic job with packaging--takeout can be a gamble, but everything was packed perfectly and was still nice and crispy when we got home. We started with the queso, chips, and salsa, and were super pleased. The salsa has a nice kick without being overwhelming, and the queso was the perfect consistency (and a great price for the portion!). We also tried their jalapeño sauce, which was so good I could honestly put it on anything.For our entrées, the Chile Rellenos were a bit different than what you find at other places, but we loved them. Instead of the usual heavy egg batter, the coating was thinner and beautifully crispy, and topped with fajita meat. We substituted the rice for their street corn, which was an amazing decision--it was absolutely delicious! We also ordered the Valentin Pizza, which had a great flavor combination. Their chicken was perfectly seasoned and paired beautifully with their pickled purple onions (I could eat a whole bowl of those onions by themselves!). Overall, this was an excellent takeout experience. We will definitely be back to dine in next time!
