Another visit to Beasties. I decided to try their chicken tacos instead of of my usual smash burger. Definitely a unique concept, a chicken breast squashed inside a taco shell, served with Guac and Queso. Guac was spicey but very tasty. I did dine-in and found the tacos a bit difficult to eat but still enjoyed them. I ordered the combo, it's a great price to upgrade to combos. I haven't had their fries since my first visit, during their first week, and didn't care of the seasoning. They definitely learn from feedback. This visit, I loved the fries, perfect amount of seasoning, perfect doneness. I still miss the openess of the old EAT layout. The staff is behind thick glass (maybe that is needed in these times) and it's difficult for each of us to hear one another even with the mic and head sets. It certainly isn't as busy as EAT was but they are still new. There menu is much small then EAT's but still tasty options.

The smash cheeseburger. Sooo good!!! The Mexican seasonings had me in a chokehold.

This place will be in heavy rotation for us when we want an upgraded smash burger. They have all the flavors and seasonings of a taco but as a smash burger, then to top it off, they give you this yummy queso cheese sauce AND some sort of onion garlic blend to dip your burger (or smash taco) into! The taco is pretty much a smash burger patty inside of a taco shell so they reheat well the next day. I popped it in the air fryer and it was as if it were freshly cooked. Fries were crispy and also were so good when you dipped them in the cheese sauce. The inside is small but we went at night and to our surprise the outside patio was heated and was very cozy. They have clean bathrooms. Parking is free and it's right near AMC and Barnes and Noble. Both myself and hubby gave it 5/5!

Diet Coke!!!

We were looking for tacos and Beasties popped up. We brought the teen and ordered one of each to try: taco, burrito and burger. They were all good, but the taco that we had come for was our least favorite. The burrito and burger were really good -- we like the chorizo/beef smashed patties. They serve the combos with a queso sauce that is great for dipping, as well as spicy peppers if you're into that. The fries were cooked well. We want to go back to try the chicken specials, since we totally missed that menu when we ordered. And they have fountain Diet Coke, which you know is a must. There's just a little counter seating inside and then there are a number of tables outside. You order through one of those mic windows and honestly, the worker sounded like he was on Mars. This is not a light meal. It definitely sat heavy on my stomach that night. Might be better for lunch.

Their burger burrito

Beasties is a Mexican meets American food. They specialize in Mexican smash burgers and smash tacos. They also have burgeritos, fries made with tallow, and desserts. Although it's a unique concept I cannot say I am a huge fan. I came for lunch one day and ended up trying their burgeritos which is a burrito with smashburger meat inside. It came with a sweet aioli sauce. Although it was probably done right it just wasn't for me. I do appreciate that they use 100% USDA choice meats and tallow fries but it didn't go together well for me. I would come back and try their burgers though and the tallow fries separate. Their churros also looked good. The service was excellent. They were helpful, quick, and really nice about clean up. This place took over the old Eat Fantasic spot. Inside seating is limited but they have a good outdoor seating patio.

I mean, once you've tried a smash burger; you've pretty much tried them all. Same burger crispy taste; BUT! But! The touch of adding chorizo to these burgers def set them apart. Not necessarily a big wow factor, but a interesting and nice touch to the smash burger. Again, it's alright. Nothing crazy, def enjoy the queso dip.

MUST COME TO BEASTIES! Your next flavor explosion awaits! Perfect location in the Marina Pacifica Shopping Center next to the AMC theater LOTS of parking! Beasties has a simple flavor bomb menu which includes the tastiest fries Ive ever had! (Cooked in beef tallow) drool drool! We tried the tacos and smash burger with their cheesy queso sauce sooo tasty! Both were spectacular! Oh and their soft serve ice cream is amazing both the chocolate and the horchata have this hint of cinnamon BOTH AMAZING! What an awesome concept! I can't say enough other than get over there and try it all! (They have a burrito too!) Highly recommend! Definitely coming back!!

Uno Combo + Guava Jamaica Mexican Soda
Paola C.

Stumbled upon Beasties's opening weekend on the way to the AMC. The place had a cool brewery vibe so we stopped by to check it out. I ordered an Uno combo with no chorizo and asked to sub the fountain soda with a house made Mexican soda. Unfortunately, substitutions aren't available, but I was able to get the fountain drink canned so I opted to purchase the house made Mexican soda. The Guava Jamaica was a bit watered down and flat for my taste and the burger still had a kick of chorizo; however the fries were good and the side of cheese was a nice touch. Overall the food was of good quality and had good texture, but I'm just not a fan of chorizo which can easily overpower other flavors.

Uno combo
Kristina F.

If you only make one thing, you gotta make it right. And yes, they make it right. Soooo maybe it's sorta more than one thing. Burgers, fries, churros, and ice cream. All of their entrees are variations of their smashburger: single, double, triple, as tacos, as a California burrito, or as a hot mess pile of fries. We tried their burger combos, which came with fries and a drink. It was absolutely delicious. They totally nailed the texture and the flavors of the burger -- every ingredient played a role, and I think that's really how it's intended to be eaten for like maximum enjoyment. That, and you gotta embrace the indulgence: if you're counting calories, you're gonna have a sad time. This burger, while not enormous, is probably while this place is called Beasties. Cuz it's a beast. The fries were bomb, fried in tallow. The queso that came with the burger was rich and slightly spicy. And their soft-serve was HUGE. I got it swirled with both their custom flavors (horchata and Mexican hot chocolate), and horchata was superior by far. Everything was so good. I hope you check them out! Just bring your appetite..

Beastie Uno
Rudy M.

This place is great, but it has one weird design. You order at a window inside. I think they were trying to go for a similarity of another chain but they sure are different. This food was terrific and nothing I've had before. They definitely put a Latin twist on burgers and fries and I can't stress the deliciousness behind it all. We got the uno burger which is a smash burger with jalapeños and chorizo and white American cheese. You could feel the grease from the chorizo but it all went together so good. Next came the two tacos and they were as well. The tortilla tasted fresh and crunchy and the beef chorizo mix was about the same as the burger, plus it had green peppers at the bottom, which reminded me of food in New Mexico. Lastly, the beastie fries were very impressive. Guacamole, a smash burger with cheese, their special sauce and fries all put together. Every bite was better than the first. I even took it out of the paper boat, laid it flat on the table and scraped it for all it was worth. This is a spot for late nights. It's that perfect addition one needs after a long night of drinking where the grease goes well with your buzz.

Uno Smashburger Combo with Roasted Jalapeños on the side
Claire G.

Ordered the Uno Mexican Smashburger Combo will jalapeños on the side, a Smash Taco combo, and San Diablo Churros. The Smashburger was okay; definitely glad I ordered the delicious roasted jalapeños on the side because although they were delicious, they were spicy at the same time! I ate pieces of the jalapeños after every bite of the Smashburger. Was expecting a nicer crunch and better flavors of the fries since they're fried in beef tallow, but they were a bit bland. The Smash Taco was okay, it had similar flavors to the Smashburger. The flavor and texture of the churros were delicious, the cinnamon sugar was a bit too much though. Friendly service - Andrew took our order and was very helpful by carrying our orders to the outdoor seating area. Nice outdoor seating. Self serve soft drinks. Cool decor.

Bestie Uno $8.00
Denise J.

A hard no for me. The chorizo added in the burger just was not tasty to me or my brother. We both like chorizo but in our scrambled eggs. The fries I ordered were not crunchy and fried soft. Now the customer service when ordering my food and receiving it was great. Theres seating inside and outside. I'll give Besties another try and order something from their dessert menu.

Single smash burger with a side of queso
Paul L.

The interior concept is reminiscent of Win-Dow, with an ordering window positioned at the front of the building and only a handful of seats available, approximately around ten, making it a tight fit for larger groups. The menu offers an intriguing hybrid of Mexican and American flavors, highlighted by a Spanish chorizo jalapeño SMASHBURGER served with queso (cheese-wiz) on the side. Our order arrived fairly quickly. I admire the creativity, but the execution leaned heavily toward greasy, fatty, and oily, which made the burger OVERWHELMING. That same richness carried over to the BEASTIE FRIES, and the HEAVINESS of both dishes proved too much for me to finish.

I mean look at this bathroom art!
Christina T.

My first time touring around the marina on a boat and what a wonderful stop for street tacos! Reasonably priced and so tasty I was drooling. Definitely will be back. Not pictured was the delightful soft serve ice cream, the best ending to a beautiful night.

Any plans to add vegetarian options to the menu?

Hi Hanna! Thanks for reaching out. We don’t currently have vegetarian options on the menu, but we’re always exploring ways to expand. If there’s enough interest, something veggie‑friendly could be on the horizon.

Is there a vegetarian option!?

Unfortunately, they do not have any vegetarian options except for the ice cream and beverages. The fries are fired in beef tallow so even those are not an option.

We came all the way from Santa Clarita and we're not disappointed. Past all the namebrand places by the aquarium and came here and we're not disappointed. I had the work burger, which has fried portobello mushrooms. Others in our group had grilled cheese and poutine burger, and Italian burger and the hotdog and the breakfast burritos. No one was disappointed actually, we were surprisingly pleased with our selections. Sleeper items are the fried cheese curds by themselves. Make sure you get these. Also the onion rings are batter dipped. And beyond delicious! Only bummer is the drinks are cans, so if you need more than one drink, be prepared to pay for each can. The food was super delicious!!

It was really loud during our visit. I'm not sure if it's always that lively on Friday nights, but it was the weekend of Warped Tour, so there was a lot of music and energy. If you're looking for a quieter meal, this may not be the best night to visit. The food itself was good, but the wait was much longer than expected. We waited almost 40 minutes for our order. Unfortunately, my burger was also made incorrectly. I ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger but was served a different burger instead. Not quite sure what it was, but it had mushrooms and American cheese. Since we had already waited so long, I decided to just eat it rather than send it back. The burgers were flavorful, but they were smaller than I expected for the price, and they don't come with fries. To round out my meal, I ordered the poutine fries. They were decent. The fries were nice and crispy, which I appreciated. My husband ordered the Burger Don Chendo, and that ended up being the standout of the night. I usually don't like spicy food, but this burger had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but between the long wait, the incorrect order, and the portion size for the price, the experience was a bit hit-or-miss. I'd be willing to give them another try, especially for the Don Chendo burger, but I'm hoping for a smoother experience next time.

My friend and I went on a Monday during the day around 12:30 noon. Reservations are required, but after 4pm they accept walk ins. They make you out a credit card down for the reservation and if you don't show they charge you a fee. I was not aware until I arrived but there is a time limit of 2 hours for the table. Since my friend and I went during the day I don't think it was an issue as we sat there for closer for 4 hours. The hostess was very sweet. She informed us that we could take pictures, walk around and videotape as well. The server was friendly as well. Since it was so empty during the day we didn't really see her as much and my friend and I were talking a lot. Together we ordered 3 alcoholic beverages, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and 1 dessert to share. The first drink I got was the clown pear-noia and my friend got the liquid lobotomy. They were served in fun Halloween cups that you can also purchase there. Second drink I got was the severed sun. All drinks were really good but definitely want to give a hats off to the mixologists because the flavors were great together. If you don't like craft drinks you may not enjoy these. I really enjoyed the severed sun the most out of those three. For the food, we got an order of sweet potato fries and the hatch chili Mac and cheese. Sweet potato fries were as expected, and came with Parmesan cheese topping and a black garlic aioli. The Mac and cheese was not spicy at all, but every so often I did taste a hint of spice. For entrees I had the short rib and she ordered the butternut squash ravioli. Both entrees were good and we both were happy with our selections. The ravioli tasted exactly like butternut squash soup. The short ribs had a nice glaze, but I do wish there was a bit more to help with the flavor profile (carrots were yummy and fresh, but mashed potatoes were kind watery). So to be clear, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the food, it tasted good and we have no complaints, but it was not "oh my goodness this is amazing" good. So that is why I put 4 stars instead of 5. Overall I had a great time catching up with a friend. It wasn't crazy loud in there that we couldn't hear each other but it was pretty dark in there. I did also see a lot of children with parents, but after 9pm I believe there are no children allowed. This place is a must try at least once for the vibes! Will definitely come back for the Christmas pop up next month!

Their online menu does not indicate the sides available. It was at this time, 9 minutes later hung up. I tried to call back and the line was obviously busy. I placed my order online for burgers and fries and drove to pick my order up. It's not what I wanted but I knew what I was getting. When I arrived at the restaurant i asked her name. She said, Kate.

I ordered 2 burgers, a double cheeseburger and a bacon cheeseburger both with fries. To make matters worse the cheese was not even melted on the burger. Just a cold slice of cheese on both burgers. I had bit into the burger before realizing the cheese was cold and not melted or soft. I'm going to give Poly Burgers a rest. Today's experience was frustrating.
