    Next time well done
    Leslie E.

    They fixed the bathroom problem. When you leave the bathroom there is sanitizer. The new owner is keeping the food good. I just need to remember to have the burger cooked less.

    Background On Visit: Finally patronized the shop after driving by this place many times. Credit Cards: They're accepted. Restroom: Restroom are available. Don't know about the women's restroom, but there's an area that is uneven when you step in. So be careful when you walk in. Location/Parking: Located on Workman Mill Rd.. Plenty of parking available. Ambiance/Decor: Mom and pop shop. Kinda reminds me of Jim's Burger with plenty of modern furnishings to sit and eat. Service: Esperenda, staffer, was very nice. Attentive, friendly, informational about the shop, and offered great suggestions. When I asked her if she preferred the express burger or the turkey sandwich, she said she would recommend the Xpress burger. Food didn't take to long to come out. Food Of Choice: I got the all day Xpress burger lunch special, which came with fries and onion rings, but you can get all fried zucchini, and a drink. Loved the burger. It came with with guac, bacon, cheese, tomato, lettuce, and onions. Thought it was cool that the lunch special came with fries and onion rings, or all fried zucchini. Other places offer fries by default. Note: They charge 1 ranch container for $.35 cents or 3 ranch containers for $1.00. You save $0.05 if you buy 3. Hamburger Express For Thought: Wouldn't mind coming back to try other items on the menu.

    Taquitos no meat included.  Just a tasteless rolled up tortilla

    Taquitos had just a sliver, not even sure I could call it a sliver of meat. Basically a rolled up tortilla. Very disappointed. Paid $9 for crap

    Double bacon cheeseburger with fries and onion rings

    Been quite some time since been back here and a few things changed. Doors are closed now, thank goodness. They also got rid of the salad bar that was in the middle, RIP salad bar. Prices are modest compared to other places now but my bill still came out to $50 for a colossal burger, double cheeseburger, tender meal and chili cheese fries, so still on the higher priced side. They gained another star as everyone was very friendly and also the taste, for me, was better than before.

    Nothing fancy, but you always know what you're getting. We love the club sandwich here! Wanted to update this with a new pic of the menu, so here you go.

    Colossal burger
    Sean Z.

    No issue with parking. Every close to Rio Hondo. Their menu is huge with a variety of selections. The indoor decor for sure was not impressive at all. But it was clean. The price is slightly higher than expected, avg about $9 to 12. I ordered a colossal burger without any sides now drinks. They do charge for other small thing, including credit card fees of 3.75%, and ranch. It just seems the owner is trying to nickle and dime every customer. Not a good feeling. $4 for fountain drinks, a bit expensive. I had friends who shared their onion rings and fries with me. I was not impressed at all. The onion rings was overly fried, and the fries were mehhhh.... The colossal burger was not too bad itself. The vege inside were fresh. The burger meat was slightly on the dried side, and the pastrami was ok. The service was barely existent. The counter cashier takes the order, one of them delivers it to your table, and you bring your own plates back to the disposal area. Overall, it is not good nor bad. I'd give it a 3.1 out of 5.

    Hard shell ground beef tacos
    Kenneth S.

    This is such a great place for all different kinds of food. I especially love the hard shell ground beef tacos which are so good and tasty. They are not shy with how much they fill up the hard shell taco with ground beef, lettuce and cheese. The french fries are good as well and you get plenty. I usually will come on Sunday afternoon to have lunch here. Nice place, staff and food.

    Turkey club come with fries and onion rings
    Rudy V.

    The place is clean. It's your typical burger joint. The service is great. They are fast and get the order right the first time. The food is delicious. Shared this plate and it was plenty of food for two (or three!). You do have to pay extra for Ranch dressing as that is only free with zucchini orders. Otherwise, a great place to eat. Oh, the burgers are fire!!!!

Today I was feeling adventurous and willing to try a different location. Parking was easy during a late lunch and queue to order. We used the screens to order and it was weird to be asked for tip when you placed your order and you grab your order to take to the table. Nevertheless, I ordered the ahi tuna sandwich as it sounded interesting and I wanted seafood. From the sides, the onion rings were my favorite followed by the green beans. Onion rings were big and freshly fried so very crisp. The green beans were also very crisp and tasty. The fries were just ok, not my favorite. My burger was really good with the ahi tuna slightly cooked but a little pink in the center. I would definitely get this again! The reason for the missing stars in my review is to do with the lack of cleanliness in the dining area. There were multiple dirty tables inside and outside. We had to kind of clean our table before we got our food which goes back to why ask for tip? They have 2 gender neutral restrooms and both were not great with missing paper towel and kind of dirty. I'm glad I had them again, but wouldn't dine in here.

The Guadalajara burger is a favorite--packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned with chipotle sauce. The Nashville burger brings just the right amount of flavor with onion rings and BBQ sauce without overpowering the meat, and the California burger is fresh, balanced, and super satisfying. Each one feels distinct, not just a basic burger with a different name slapped on it.

When I first came in I asked to use the restroom because I was with my 7yr old and she was about to pee her pants. The guy just looked at me and was going to say no but then he processed what I had asked and he said yeah but gave me a look. I told him I was going to order but my kid needed the restroom first and he then told me where the bathroom was. When we came out I went to the register and the guy came up and just stood there. I then told him it was my first time and looked at the menu. I then asked him if there was a favorite burger and he quickly said "argentine" and just stood there again. He took my order and honestly it seemed like he was checked out or zoning out consistently. The order then took 20 mins to complete and it was To Go. I also was hearing as the lady cooking the food was just slapping the burgers on the counter as she finished them, without any care or decency. When I looked at my order I saw the fries were just in small paper boats covered with another paper boat, not something I expected for $6-7 for fries but I digress. First off, I got 3 burgers and 2 fries plus 2 Brazilian lemonades. While I was paying the screen gave me the option to enter my phone number and register to save points, well I wasn't even done registering when the cashier just processed the order and asked me to pay. I told him I was trying to register my phone and if he could get the option up again and he said no I can't. So he just said I had to pay for it and that he was sorry I couldn't get the points. This was extremely rude and felt rushed. I was the only person there ordering too and I told him it was my first time being there so I didn't appreciate the fact that he did that and didn't offer to fix the issue. Secondly, the lemonade was disgustingly bitter. It was gross and I had to throw both out. It tasted like they had blended overripe limes into the drink and they didn't even bother to see that the limes had gone bad. The burgers themselves were honestly average even with all the different flavors or toppings. I got the Nashville, Guadalajara and the Argentine burgers and they all tasted the same. Nothing special and actually tasted quite flavorless. The only difference was that the Guadalajara bun was soggy due to the juices that leaked to the bottom and it tasted mainly like cilantro. The Nashville burger tasted like bacon and that's it. Nothing special. The Argentine one had some flavor in the arugula/chimchurri sauce but aside from that again, the patty was bland. The Parmesan fries lacked flavor and the bacon/cheese fries were just sad. It felt like the just microwaved velvetta on top. Luckily the guy at the register disrupted my registration process because I will not be coming back. If you want plain burgers you're better off going to BK or McDonalds down the street.

On the other hand, they serve up a heaping plate of inconsistency. Three different items from their already small menu weren't available. No Al Pastor? Multiple beers tapped out? And this was early in the evening, not closing time. It made me wonder: supply chain problem, or did they just forget to go shopping? With only one server and one cook on duty, the whole place had a vibe of "we're trying, but please don't look too closely." Service was friendly, but the overall atmosphere felt a little uncomfortable, like something was just... off. As for the food: the Pumba tacos were excellent, the Gobernator shrimp taco was also good, and then there was the "side salad." Calling it a salad feels generous. It looked like someone raided the burger garnish tray and charged me $8 for it. Full iceberg leaves, a few tomato slices, a browning avocado, and purple onion just sat there staring at me, daring me to fight it. It was such a disaster I almost had to set up a GoFundMe page for it. The space itself is modern and vibrant, and the menu ideas are creative -- if only you can actually order them. Unfortunately, the potential doesn't outweigh the frustration. We won't be back.
