    Brisket tacos order of three
    Rick M.

    Wow, this place definitely makes some tasty food. The first time we ordered wife had the tacos de piccadillo and I had the gorditas, tacos are nice and crispy, doraditos, picadillo with delicious flavor and that spicy salsa, so good, gorditas are tender flavorful, with the same tasty picadillo filling. The second time I tried the double cheeseburger, Woah, huge patties, soft buns, definitely for big appetites, and you will want to eat every last bite, my wife ordered the brisket tacos, oh man let me tell you, those brisket tacos are to die for.

    I've been looking for a place like Happy Burger the entire time I've been in El Paso. It's an unassuming, family operated, no frills with delicious inexpensive food kind of place. As a matter of fact, those hole in the wall places are my favorite places to eat from. I was driving to KLAQ's Halloween parade at 2pm and figured I should get some food to tide me over as it was our first Halloween parade and they're usually hard to get in and out of. I felt like gorditas or tacos since they're good handheld food. The kids already had Sonic $0.50 corndogs so this was strictly for me. I saw that this place had a drive thru and once I saw the pictures of the deshebrada tacos I was sold. I wanted the gorditas as well but the tacos were a must have. The pricing was amazing as well. I was used to paying $3 for Rivas tacos (even though they're worth it) the family meal deal was a STEAL in comparison...$17+tax for 12 hard tacos with all the fixings and rice and beans. It came out to be $20. Now, the restaurant only operates their drive thru and no inside dining at this time, which kinda sucks because it made the lines longer and the all you can eat menudo is intriguing and only dine in. Bring your patience because everything is made fresh so it took 15-20 mins from ordering with 2 cars ahead of me. When I opened the tacos at the parade, everyone gawked at me. Yes I was going to try to stuff 12 tacos down my gullet. Well that was the plan but I got distracted, so only had 3 there to tide my hunger pains.  It was glorious, the tacos had a corn meal texture, which reminded me of gorditas, so it was the best of both of my choices, the texture of a gorditas, but the crispness and thickness of a fried taco shell. The beef inside was plentiful and the shredded lettuce, wedge of tomato (genius) and melted government cheese was divine. The salsa wasn't the best (Rivas still is king) but it was just enough to help the tacos slide down easily.  I didn't end up finishing until much later after the parade was done at 3pm, and I originally ordered them at 1pm, so it was cold, and a little soggy, but the cheese had hardened and made it hold it's shape and it was still delicious! I ate 4 more and when I got home at 6pm after not only doing the parade, but also the Park and Recs event, AND the Game Vault Halloween/Pokemon party, hubby finished everything and declared it yummy. I'm both sad and happy it's far from me. Sad because I know I'll crave it and it's so inexpensive I'll probably put it on my rotation weekly. Happy because it probably is better for me healthwise not to eat greasy tacos weekly, meh, but I do anyways. For my East friends, you lucky ducks, go check them out if you haven't and if you already knew about them and didn't tell me, shame!

    Great food, great prices. Happy Burger has been owned and operated by the same owners for years. The kids just recently started to help out more. Got to love and support family business's. Burgers are good. Burritos are awesome. Mexican dishes, good. I always get flautas but my family members prefer tacos or gorditas. Overall, not a bad place to pick up food in a hurry. It's always consistent which is why they get a four star. If you're craving something from here, you'll be happy to know the craving you had will be met. I'd pick this place any day for the price. Definitely worth it. Could you find better? Sure, but not on this side of town. Should you drive here to try? Nah, don't make the special trip. But definitely remember this place if you're near by.

    This is nasty and is not like anything I thought it would be. Char anything u expect flavor as to which this doesn't have. The bun is big and hard, the lettuce is soggy and the meat isn't flavorful. There's French Ketchup which is also nasty as well. The large pop is a great size but ask for light ice or you will get a 1/2 cup of ice. Fries are good and the customer service is great

    Correct way to form a burger.

    Won't order the burgers anymore, there's a reason why vegetables go on top of meat patties. If you be out your veggies on the bottom bun when you put the Pattie's on top the lettuce will cook from the heat of the still hot patty, causing the lettuce to wilt an turn into rubber, also the this creates a lot of moisture and will make your button bun soggy. So gross, I think cooks are getting lazy and think a few seconds to make them right, is not worth it. I see this happening more and more. Pic of burger done the right way.

    Lunch time. Cheeseburger with bacon and mushrooms
    Jackie S.

    I love going here for the tacos and enchiladas great good prices. I had the cheeseburger recently and i love that i could add mushrooms and bacon yum yum a little too well done but the taste was so good. They have family packs and that's always a plus. Quick pickup and on the way home with supper

    Disappointed. Paid $$ for the "deluxe" combo" and here's what they send you home with. If you think driving through is faster, it ain't. Took them 20 minutes. If you're hungry, pick another place. They're dining room is closed for obvious reasons.. Long story short The food is slow is pooly prepared and slow. Need I say more? This was my first time but surely I wont be back.

    Charbroiled double cheeseburger comes w/ tomato onion lettuce and a little bit of BBQ sauce .
    Robert F.

    Been coming here with my family since 2003 and its always had the friendliest staff which is the family of the owner. They serve the best round hotdogs and charbroiled hamburgers on the east side of El Paso! The burritos and other menu items are good too but if your a first timer you have to get a round hotdog meal if your not into hot dogs then get a charbroiled hamburger they are legit . If you've never been here don't judge this place from the outside its really good quality stuff...

    Two stars for the Gorditas and tacos. The loss of three stars because the burgers are dry and don't have much flavor.

I had just flown in from the airport, and my brother arranged it as a special family gathering. Everything started normally: we were seated, ordered our food, received our drinks, and enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. Then my sister (who is LGBTQ+) stepped away to use the restroom. When she returned and sat down, a manager approached our table and loudly told her--in front of other diners--that "MEN cannot use the female restroom." My sister was mortified and humiliated by the public confrontation. The manager's tone and assumption were shocking and clearly discriminatory. We immediately got up and left without eating. This wasn't about enforcing any legitimate policy; it was rude, insensitive, and targeted. My adult sister is perfectly capable of reading the restroom signs herself--no one needed to police or shame her in such a way. The incident felt rooted in homophobia and transphobia from management. We will never return to this place, and we will actively discourage others--especially LGBTQ+ individuals and allies--from patronizing it. What should have been a joyful family milestone was ruined by bigotry. Avoid this establishment if you value respect and inclusivity.

Unfortunately, that loyalty came to an end after a recent experience that was both disappointing and unacceptable. My family and I chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. Every guest paid separately, and there were no issues during the evening itself. However, as the event concluded, multiple attendees, including family members and in-laws, overheard servers making derogatory comments about our party. Among the remarks were that we were "ungrateful," "cheap," and "broke," along with other inappropriate comments that no customer should ever have to hear. I brought the matter to the attention of ownership, hoping for a meaningful resolution. While I was told the employees had been reprimanded, the proposed remedy was a $25 gift card. After nearly 18 years of patronage, the response felt dismissive and only added insult to injury. What disappoints me most is not simply the behavior of the staff, but the lack of accountability and concern shown afterward. This was a place I once considered a reliable and welcoming destination for family gatherings and celebrations. Sadly, that trust has been lost. As a result, I will no longer be returning or recommending this establishment to friends, family, or colleagues. Respect for customers should be a fundamental part of any hospitality business, and in this case, that standard was not met.

Had multiple thousand Google reviews and they were all close to five stars. So I knew I had to check it out. It was super close to my hotel, so I popped in the car and found it without trouble. Trouble. Again, there is pretty limited parking so it's kind of hit and miss whether you'll find a spot or not. Fortunately, I did. When you walk up to the place, the building itself is pretty nondescript. They have a nice selection of outside seating, and your window to order is outside. Very nice lady at the counter gave me helpful suggestions and so I ordered three tacos and an amazing lime and cucumber fresca. Went in and sat down inside and was pleasantly surprised by the interior. It definitely had more of an upscale bar vibe to it than a Taco shop. The waiter that brought out my tacos told me that it turns into more of a nightclub after hours. I may have to go check that out. The tacos themselves were absolutely off the chain! The tortillas were blue corn and everything on it tasted so fresh and so wonderful. The carnitas was fantastic, the brisket Taco was to die for and the blackened shrimp Taco was one of the best I've ever had. Had.

It's about 10 hours drive from Las Vegas to El Paso. And this Taco shop will give me a great reason to do a road trip anytime. Do yourself a favor and go check this place out!
