Enjoyed the foods, drink, and service Burgerteca provided our group. Our server Valeria was all over it. If we needed it, she got it. In the south of Southtown, there is a place... three places actually, depending on what you're hankerin' for. Burgeteca, Maragarita Garden, and Southtown Coffee are all housed under the same roof. So, you can practically stay here from dusk til dawn. On this particular occasion we went down for burgers or margaritas, but we found both were amazing. I ate the chile con queso burger with sweet potato fries. It was good. Liz took down a carne asada burger without even me getting a bite, so it too must have been good. The queso was delicious, but like all heated quesos... you have to eat it while it's hot, or it will harden - fine for burgers, less so for chips. Before and after food, we all enjoyed a variety of the margarita fare. I started with a pineapple paloma... i could have stayed with this one all afternoon, but I'm an adventurer. I had them make me an off the menu spicy margarita, which was pretty good, I should have stayed with the on the menu selections. The hibiscus blossom was refreshing and the Bee Sting was honey-licious - if you're into honey. All the drinks were unique in taste and presentation. The staff were super friendly, there was plenty of street parking closer to the venue, but not much, so make sure to get there during the off hours to secure close parking. All in all great time at the margarita, burger, coffee joint.
We had a lunch group of 12 people at this restaurant yesterday. It was my first time eating here. The service was great and superb. Our food came out fast. The decor was on point. They had great seating indoors and patio seating outdoors. This location is great for small get-togethers family or lunch date. They have a delicious menu to choose from and delicious drinks.
What a fun place for a meal; It's large, and bright & decorated with lots of cutesy stuff. I went for lunch but after the rush so the food didn't take long to come out. The food was beautifully presented. Everyone in my party was pleased with their food . I was bummed to hear that they're turning the place into a sports bar. I hope that it doesn't loose it's quaintness in the transition
My oldest son and his wife came down yesterday to hang out with me for Father's Day. We spent the day going from place to place trying out new breweries, brew pubs, and restaurants. We chose to visit Burgerteca because it was on the Burger Week list. They wanted to eat a couple of the listed burgers at different venues so they could both try them and support the fundraiser. There isn't a lot of parking right at the restaurant, but we got lucky and got one right across the street. That was fortunate, since it was so hot that a hike from parking would have been rough. When we got inside, there weren't any tables available inside. The server told us there would be about a twenty-five minute wait. Fortunately for us, there were exactly four seats available at the bar, so we ordered drinks and settled in for the wait. After a short while she told us that we could eat at the bar, if we wanted. We agreed to do that and ordered our food. About a minute after ordering, the server came back and moved us to a very nice table. The entire restaurant is pretty festive. They have lots of those beautiful Mexican statues. You can't help but feel like you are celebrating something. The food was really good. I had the Oaxaca burger, which was NOT the Burger Week offering. I couldn't settle for a bacon barbecue burger once I saw one with mole negro, black beans, pickled red onions, avocado, and queso fresco. It was a great choice and a great burger. I also ordered some mole french fries. They were amazing. My wife and I both had some of the venue-made ice cream. It was pretty good. They have about ten flavors to choose from. I had Kit-Kat. There were some tables that weren't being used, even though they were super busy. I think it was to make it easier on the two servers who were constantly in motion. This was one of those places where the AC was struggling to keep up. It was hard enough for them to keep up without adding customers. Our particular server seemed to be the boss. She not only greeted customers as they came in, she took orders, served food, helped clean up when guests left, and made drinks at the bar. She was awesome.
Can you say yummy! You had me at taco style burger. I'm at a loss of words it's so good! I'll definitely come back
Great service and atmosphere but food is nothing special. Pros: the bright and colorful restaurant creates a fun and family friendly atmosphere. It's welcoming and fresh. The staff are incredibly kind and helpful. They're friendly and make sure you're taken care of. Cons: the food is ok but it's nothing special. I think the highlight was the mole fries but the mole was a little one note. I was expecting more complexity. The red onion really helped bring it up a notch! The big disappointment was the chile con queso burger. The beef tasted almost unseasoned. I'm not joking I've had more seasoned patties from Whataburger. The queso was a little plastic like and I couldn't detect even a hint of chile. I was hoping for some spicy rich complexity but it really fell flat. The crunchy tortilla chips took away from the burger and only really added a bland somewhat crunch. The toasted bun was nice but I was hoping for more all around.
This was a fun find! I really enjoyed the food but the service was a little bit odd. The first waiter we had was awesome, he recommended I try the veggie burger which I really enjoyed. It's different because it's made out of beats, but I liked it. It comes with some slaw and sauce. A second waiter brought me my food asked me how it was and when I said "I like my burger" she replied with "I don't like that one". Her vibe was weird, but overall the location was really nice and the food was good. The star of the meal was the sweet potato fries, they were a 10/10. They have a dog friendly patio and sell ice cream.
I was so surprised on how good the burgers were. We shared the tuna burger and the vegetarian burger. We also shared sweet potato fries. The veggie burger was delicious. It had great flavor. It also had little crisp to it. I would definitely get it again. The tuna burger was huge. It had two good sizes of tuna and lots of fresh avocado. They have inside and outside seating. I love that you can bring your dog and they even have puppy ritas. Parking is available on the parking garage next to it and it's free. They do have happy hour on weekdays. Service was a little slow.
Burgers never disappoint when we hit up Burgerteca! Drinks and desserts are perfect for these hot Texas Summers! Homemade ice cream hits the spot every time! While the community dining is different it's a great ambiance overall! Service has been great every time we've visited! Family friendly spot!
Good food with a Mexican twist! Burgerteca is one of my favs now, I had the hot dog and it was 7/10, pretty good! The Chile con queso burger was a 9/10, and sliders were 8/10. I recommend this place for a quick and yummy bite to eat. The house margarita was to die for! So yummy and sweet. I will come back!
Even though my food came out cold. Very cold. I had to return it. I will never take a redo on my order just me. The lady at the bar however was so nice that that is how this review gets all stars. Everyone was great. The other plates were cold too but they chose to eat anyway. The sliders look really good. I will go back to try them another day. The tots were also really good. It's a good place. Go try them. Very festive inside. You will like it.
After a long day of traveling, I just wanted to go somewhere local for dinner. I want to say maybe a block or so away from our Airbnb was this cute restaurant called Burgerteca. So this restaurant is 3-in-1. In the morning, has a cute coffee show called Southtown Coffee, then in the afternoon and evening there's the bar and restaurant. Even before entering the restaurant, you're greeted with the immense colors of the artwork. You can tell the vibe was going to be so fun. There's seating outside and inside. If you do decide to sit outside, just let the waitress know. As soon as you open the doors, I was captivated by the vibrant colors and the piñatas that were hanging from the ceiling. It was really pretty and my daughter enjoyed counting the piñatas and trying to grab one LOL. Now the food! It's a simple menu, that has everything for your cravings. We ordered the chips and salsa, my daughter got the quesadilla kids meal, my husband got the Big Tex Classic and I gravitated to the Al Pastor burger. Back story.... I stopped eating burgers a couple of years ago because I got sick from eating one and kinda threw me off ever since. So back to the food... it's was amazing. The Salsa *chefs kiss*... not your typical tomatoes salsa. It was SALSA! although my daughter's quesadillas looked plain, I took a bite and the tortilla is knot your typical store bought one. It's as if they made it in house because it had some girth. But a good girth lol my husband loved his burger so much that he didn't even share with me LOL But yo, the Al Pastor burger is to die for. Literally the taco in a burger form! The pineapples were such a nice contrast with the juicy burger! Ah I literally wanna go back to order it and try all the other stuff

Some girls and I decided to try this place out. It's located in the BlueStar area but by the apartments. There's free parking on the street and in the garage. Since they don't take reservations, some of us got there early to try to get the big table in the back. Initially they didn't want us to move tables together bc they're extremely heavy, but once everyone was there, we asked again, and they allowed us. The service was great considering we had a big party. All the food came out hot and delicious. The servers were on top of our drinks. Everything was delicious! I wanted to try the ice cream but was too full. Would def go back for the food and to try the desserts. read more

Unique place, our experience here was great.The colorful decor made me feel like I was in land of the dead of the movie " Coco" and my little girl enjoyed looking at all "spirit guides". From the Mexican inspired burgers to the dessert bar, everything was delicious. Their side dishes are also a must. read more

This establishment not only cares about serving quality food, but offering a great dining atmosphere. I tried several burgers and sides yesterday at a pre-opening party and there was not a single thing I didn't like. The chef spices up an American classic like no other. In addition to that, the creative sweets at the ice cream bar were soooo good. The restaurant is colorfully decorated with alebrijes and sugar skulls and is likely to be a hit on that side of Blue Star! Loved it. Couldn't stop talking about it when i left. read more
Great service and awesome burgers. If you enjoy burgers and want a Mexican twist to it they have quite a selection of good burgers. The french fries are good too they are super crispy and good. Service is wonderful. My little one was crying about the alcoholic drink I ordered and they mixed something non alcoholic he could have. Great customer service read more

I came to eat here on June 8th and I forgot to post my review, but I was scrolling through my pictures and found the photo I wanted to post. Okay, now this burger was soooooo good!!! It's the chilaquiles burger.. I would also recommend the enchilada burger as well. (My boyfriend ate that one too fast that I couldn't get a picture) we had margaritas and some cucumber drink which was so refreshing and the service was great too! I wish I could remember the name of the girl who helped because she was awesome.. she even convinced my boyfriend and his friend to split another burger because of how good it was. I can't wait to go back! read more

This is my 3rd time visiting Burgerteca. It has potential however, lacks consistency. The Paicifica was over seasoned and under cooked the 2nd time The mole fries were crunchy the first time but not the 2nd. Also the sangria was wonderful thr 2nd time but not on the 3rd visit. I've brought two friends and they haven't been impressed. I'm really disappointed. read more

I was so impressed, everything tasted amazing! Will definitely be coming back & next time I'm bringing my pooch because they have a dog friendly patio! read more

Excellent burger! The fusing of a burger with authentic central and South American cuisine is impeccably achieved. The molé fries had a bit too much molé, but better to have too much than not enough. We split the chiliquiles burger and it was amazing. Just enough spice and the egg drizzled out the sides, giving you a bit of yoke with each bite. The price was fair and affordable. It was enough food to read more
Definitely a different twist on burgers and I like it! Tried the chili con queso burger w/ black beans and fried tortilla strips smothered in queso. I'm not crazy about black beans but it worked. My wife had the Big Tex Crispy Dog, surely brought back some childhood memories of frying a hotdog with a slice of cheese and a corn tortilla wrapped around it. This place is a must try! Oh, almost forget about their selection of fries, very delicious!! read more

Amazing restaurant just south of downtown San Antonio! Burgers were delicious and very creative. I had the Al Pastor burger, so good! Chile con queso fries were amazing as well! Best part was the staff. They all greeted us on the way in. Our server Trevor was ridiculously friendly and helpful! The decor was bright and fun! Great new place, great food, great location! I still need to come back for the ice cream though, I was too full the first time around. read more

burgers were big, which is nice but taste wise... not so much... odd after taste on both mine and my wifes burger... also fries are an extra charge of $2.75 which is a bit ridiculous considering most burgers come with a side of fries.... also for your typical fountain drink its $3 per drink... burgers range from $9.75 - $13 again without fries just burger alone! the fries had a very weird corn flavor and were caked in oil! kids meal though do come with fries but small portions! and lastly the adult beverages cost waaaaay more than your burger will... overall its a good place to eat IF you have that kind of money to spend... we all got waters and with that said for two adults and a toddler our food came out too $34 we got two burgers, a side of regular fries, and a kids meal.... read more

The ahi tuna burger is delish although I think the portion of tuna was small especially for the price of this sandwich..and I'm not a big plate either. The mole fries on the other hand is large enough for a small group! On a second visit I had the classic burger and it is absolutely delicious and tasty. I enjoy and appreciate the love that goes into Johnny Hernandez' Mexico inspired food items. Although I have not tried any of the specialty burgers, I was blown away with the classic. my other favorite is the chips w crema and onions in vinegar..available only on happy hour, again, one of those food items that is a simple Mexican dish but oh so good because of the right ingredients brought together. Had the hotdog also simple and yummy! Will be a regular here I'm sure. Reason for 4 stars is because service was very slow on one visit and because of the small portion in ahi tuna burger.. read more

Where can I get the best burger?
If you are just looking for a good ole fashion burger you can't go wrong with the Tycoon Flats or Armadillo's in my opinion. The Cove is great too.…
