    Limp and stale shoestring fries.
    Tina T.

    What happened to Beef N Bun's French fries? They used to be crinkle cut and now that are the limp shoestring fries! I am so disappointed! I came today because I was craving those awesome restaurant style crinkle cut fries and was so disappointed to get the limp shoestring ones and they were COLD & STALE! I am NEVER coming back again, they aren't what they used to be!

    Nothing really crazy is just burgers and fries and shakes if you're in the mood. Prices are a little out there and while I know they are a single company dealing also with inflation the cost just wasn't worth it to us door subpar food. Burger was cooked well though and fries are well salted though portions are small. Overall I may come to try the other burgers or a shake but I'll likely just keep passing it on my way home.

    If you haven't ever visited this place and you have lived in San Diego for a long time , you really should stop by for a bite to eat ! Beef n Bun has been here forever and their food is always good ! But their shakes are the BEST in town !! Clean location , friendly employees ... you can't go wrong here !

    Fresh flat top burger & fat onions rings that stayed crispy for hours. I enjoyed the simple beefy bacon burger patty. Super friendly & fast service!

    No more fresh meat, this is frozen, even the bun tasted frozen and was cold.

The fries were acceptable, but eh, okay. NO cole slaw at all was included in my meal. F A I L!! Geez...I was looking forward to the 'homemade' cole slaw they tout, which costs $4.49 separately. I didn't even get the one that's supposed to come with the order. The second dinner meal ordered was fried fish (1piece) and shrimps (4 pieces) for $15.00, which came with french fries. My daughter said the taste was 'just okay'. For $30, I was expecting much, much more satisfaction from this place, based on their almost 5* rating. Money is too hard to come by these days to waste it on mediocre food and complacent quality control. It's a one and done for me.

The concept is definitely unique. Their menu includes burgers, wraps, shawarma wraps, and street corn, with the option to add Hot Cheetos or Doritos to several menu items. I ordered the: *Doritos Grilled Chicken Breast Wrap: it comes served over a bed of French fries tossed with Doritos seasoning. The fries were flavorful, fresh, and definitely the highlight of the meal. The wrap itself was good, but I was expecting a much stronger Doritos flavor. There wasn't much of that signature taste inside the wrap, so it felt like a missed opportunity considering the concept. You can also upgrade your order with street corn mixed with Hot Cheetos or Doritos for an additional $2.99. My total, including tip, came to a little over $18. While that's a bit on the pricey side, the wrap was massive and easily enough for two meals. My food was ready in less than 10 minutes, and everything tasted fresh. Overall, it's a fun and creative concept with generous portions. I just wish they'd lean into the theme a bit more by adding more of that bold Doritos flavor to the wrap itself.

What really makes them stand out is their use of Hot Cheetos and Doritos throughout the menu. We decided to try the Hot Cheeto Beef Burger ($12.99), which comes with a smashed beef patty, pickles, caramelized onions, arugula, Swiss cheese, Rizzo sauce, and fries underneath the burger. I ordered mine without pickles and added avocado. Presentation-wise, it was just okay. It definitely looked better on the menu. The burger came out looking a little rushed and the bun wasn't centered. Not a huge deal, but it didn't have that wow factor I was expecting. Service was pretty transactional from start to finish. Nothing negative, but there wasn't much interaction beyond taking the order and handing out the food. As for the burger itself, I have mixed feelings. It wasn't bad at all, but it didn't quite live up to the concept. The beef tasted fresh and good quality. I really liked the avocado addition. It added a nice richness and freshness that balanced everything out. I just wish there had been more caramelized onions because they were barely noticeable. Oh and no clue where the arugula went. My biggest issue was that the Hot Cheetos didn't really do much for the burger itself. Most of that flavor ended up on the fries, so the burger never really delivered the wow factor I was expecting based on the name and photos. Ironically, the fries ended up being my favorite part of the meal. The Hot Cheeto flavor came through much more there, and I liked that there was melted cheese underneath with their signature sauce throughout. They felt more like loaded fries than a side dish and honestly stole the spotlight from the burger. Everything tasted fresh and the portions were fair. For me, it landed right in the middle. Decent, but not something I'd specifically go out of my way for again.
