    La Tóxica burger with a side of tots.
    Aaron O.

    I've had El Brewjo burgers at various pop-ups and breweries around the OC and it's yet to disappoint. I usually get La Hot Mess since I like a burger with kick. I was skeptical about how thin the patties were at first but then realized their the perfect smash when doubled up, nice and crispy on the edges but still juicy af. So if you like a smash style burger these are on point.

    Super good burger! Nice & simple yet full of flavor. One of the best smash burgers out there. Tots also are fire. It's a little on the pricier side ($20 for burger & tots) but I'd say it's worth it. The fact that it's a pop-up makes it feel elusive & hard to track down, but when you're able to have it, it's super good. Wonder if a permanent location is ever in the cards for these burgers bc I feel like I would go more often.

    I really wanted to like this place since I've seen alot of hype behind it but my burger experience here was not the best. The good: Very crispy burger patties which gave good texture. The bad: The burger buns were cold and dry. Not sure if this is the style/choice but putting the buns on the grill to heat up just a little with some butter would've helped alot. From pictures on other yelp posts, it looks like the buns were grilled; maybe they forgot to throw the buns on the grill? Who knows.. The burger patties were very, very salty to the point where I could still taste salt on my tongue 30 minutes after eating it (whoever was cooking tonight must've had a heavy hand with the seasoning). Parking here is pretty hard to find since its connected to Green Cheek Brewery and other surrounding businesses (had to circle around several times). Not sure if this was just an off time or experience but I was fairly disappointed for my first time unfortunately.

    La Hot Mess ($15) and Tater Thots ($5). So good! 10/27/2024

    Wow... is this what a "smash burger" is supposed to taste like? I'm a fan! I've only had "smash burger" one other time and wasn't a fan. I didn't get the hype because it tasted so average and it made me want a regular burger more. El Brewjo came highly recommended by a friend and I was going to pass on them because of my prior experience with smash burger, but I'm glad I didn't. I'm not sure what a smash burger is really supposed to be, but the ones from El Brewjo is so darn good! The meat patty is what makes a smash burger a smash burger. They are thin and juicy with crispy edges. I think what really took it over the top is the type of meat blend they use - it tastes like I'm eating a steak! I honestly don't think you can go wrong with any of their smash burgers. There is only three to choose from on their menu and they occasionally have specials. Their burgers range from $14-$16. It's a simple menu, but that's all you need. Cesar is the owner and he was nice and cool. I really like that they keep it in the family (the cook, the prep, the cashier). This is a pop-up place that goes to different beer establishments so you have to find their schedule on Instagram to see where they're at. Also, it seems like they are only open Fridays-Sundays. They also offer their services for private events.

    You're not gonna want to miss out on El Brewjo's delicious burgers. Dropped by a brewery post work just for two basic bitches and tater thots. Seriously though, our intention at the brewery was solely for El Brewjo. The basic bitch is not too greasy and it tastes so yummy! Always eager to catch El Brewjo when they're around the area.

    I finally tried El Brewjo's award-winning burger pop-up and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Hot Mess smash burger and loaded tots. Both were served hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The burger had a great balance of savory, spicy, and crispy, while the tots were perfectly seasoned and generously loaded. You can tell the team puts real care into every order. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of their signature burger--la basic b.

    Loved having El Brewjo pop up for our baby shower! Organized, on time, friendly service, and excellent burgers and tots!

    La Hot Mess
    Susie O.

    I've had El Brewjo twice and I have to admit this is by far the best smash burgers I've had in Orange County! So flavorful! Great mix of ingredients! Patties are crispy! Tots aren't plain, they are actually seasoned! A must addition to your burger. Although La Hot Mess is spicy, I love it! It's like an addictive spicy kick to it lol By the way, you can ask for grilled onions, I did. And I can't end this review without mentioning how sweet the staff is even in the kaos of how busy they get. Great, great burgers and staff! *so much flavor and crisp in every bite!

    El Biter + bacon, La Hot Mess, tater tots.

    Experienced the pop-up venue while at Green Cheek Brewery this past weekend. Husband and I ordered El Biter, La Hot Mess, along with an obligatory side of 'tots. Everything tasted fresh and stupendous, from the crunchy edges of the smashburger to the super soft, yet durable buns. Not as messy as I anticipated, but I also didn't attempt a gooey egg either. I preferred La Hot Mess, it was a nice kick in the mouth, but nothing a crisp brew couldn't soothe. The tater tots were so perfectly crisp and fluffy inside, we could have eaten our weight in those. The accompanying sauce was like a loose thousand island/in n out spread sub chili powder for the relish. I was a fan.

    We had them cater for our son's one year birthday and it was a hit! Literally everyone couldn't stop talking about how amazing the burgers were. Also, the set up was very nice. The guys were respectful of our beautiful backyard and overall just the best experience. For sure we will be using them again for future parties!

    Two words.... AMAZING BURGERS! I was hooked after my first time trying El Brewjo. I constantly crave these burgers, so I try to go to their pop-ups whenever I can. I hired them for our neighborhood block party last year, and they were a hit! I even saw El Brewjo mentioned on KTLA morning news the other day. The smashed beef patties are flavorful, the Brewjo sauce is delicious, and the buns are a perfect compliment. I just tried the loaded tots this week... YUM! Portions are plentiful and the quality is great. You gotta try El Brewjo!!!

    Jennifer V.

    Literally the best friggin smash burger you'll ever have! From the buns, to the meant, the perfectly spiced sauce, to the fresh toppings El Brewjo will have you coming back again and again and again! And if the food wasn't perfect enough the El Brewjo Team are outstanding and so friendly and welcoming. If you haven't tried these guys before on the look out at the next pop up, you won't regret it!

    Incredible smash burger pop-up in the Orange area. I recommend the El Party Melt and a side of tots.

    From the outset, we were incredibly pleased to work with Brittany as our event specialist for our…read moreNovember wedding at Serra Plaza. Her transparency, responsiveness, attention-to-detail and professionalism consistently set her apart. Brittany was always proactive and reliable; we never had to chase for answers or run around in circles. One of the greatest advantages was her delivery of timely, updated quotes--something we deeply appreciated for effective budget management. Even before we booked the venue, Brittany walked us through detailed rain contingency plans, which proved invaluable when we encountered a once-in-a-blue-moon torrential downpour on our wedding day. As a bride coordinating family travel from across the globe--while also navigating significant challenges with an approved vendor--Brittany stepped in at critical moments and ensured the day ran smoothly from an operational standpoint. Our guests could not stop praising the outstanding, multicultural food (especially the bulgogi beef bao, dessert stations and confetti cake) and the thoughtful allergy accommodations, which were handled seamlessly. Guest experience was one of our top priorities, and Brittany's execution gave us complete confidence. On our wedding day, anything within her scope was something we never had to worry about - and the food was one of the TOP compliments received from guests. The only feedback we strongly encourage the business to consider is a thorough audit of its approved vendor list. Unfortunately, our greatest challenges stemmed from a vendor on this list. Brittany's efforts were instrumental in mitigating issues caused by this vendor that could have otherwise impacted the success of the event. The strength of Serra Plaza's internal team deserves to be matched by the same standard across all required vendors to protect future couples. Beyond this, our experience was exceptional, and we are deeply grateful for Brittany's leadership and support. Thank you to the full team for stepping up to the plate when we needed it the most to execute the best day ever. We recommend Jay's Catering and Serra Plaza to any couple for the food, professionalism, service and kindness!

First, the best dinner I have had in years. The food was prepared properly, temperature controlled, moist, excellent, and I can't say enough about the entire meal. I wanted seconds which is extremely rare for me. From the beautiful presentation to the excellent quality provided, this is a company I have put on my list as number one! and have shared with several others. If you haven't used them, I highly recommend giving them a call. I honestly would like to have more as I write this review.

I have used her before for corporate event with a headcount of 300+ and it was always phenominal! This time we were needing catering for a Celebration Of Life for my wife's grandpa, It was small ~100 people. We wanted just appetizers, drinks and desserts. After selecting our appetizers, drinks and cupcakes we were sent the invoice. She included full service for two hours, she didn't want us to worry about anything. We have someone who is allergic to gluten and Carolina was more than accommodating. The day of service the caterers showed up EARLY!!!! How awesome! They were ready to go and I showed them where to set up and reminded them about the allergy. The display was amazing, it was so beautiful and more than we could ask for (pictures). The servers were on top of it, the food was being plated as people took it to make sure it was fresh (no chaffing dishes)! When the allergy plate needed to be made they changed thier gloves and went above and beyond to serve. We got rave reviews on the food from everyone! 10/10 for these guys! They are rock stars.
