Clean, friendly burger diner with a great Sonoran twist. Classic single or double patty smash burgers, and south of the border options. I had a single Sonoran combo; super tasty mix of flavors from the bacon, chilis, cheese, and unique sauce. Fries were on point too. Adequate selection of fountain bevs, and a good selection of beers as well. 100% would return. read more

Visited in a Saturday evening and I have to say downtown Mesa has completely transformed from what it used to be. The streets were lively with people and bands playing on almost every corner. Tried out this place and for the long line I was expecting to be blown away by the food but it was just a good standard burger and fries. I will say friendly staff and they were on top of making sure the eating area was clean. They had a dj outside in the seating area which was pretty cool. read more

Great location with plenty of parking, a spacious interior, and outdoor seating. The ambiance was really nice. I loved the music and how friendly the staff was. We tried the double bacon cheeseburger with pickles. I'm not a fan of sweet pickles and these were a bit sweet for my taste, so I would skip them next time. The meat itself wasn't very seasoned, but altogether the burger still had a good overall flavor. The fries are fresh-cut and really good. We also had the Sonora burger with house sauce, bacon, caramelized onions, and a cheese crust. It had a solid flavor; not an explosion of flavors, but everything worked well together. Overall, the food was good. Not the best burger I've ever had, but definitely enjoyable and I had a great lunch. read more

Ever since our first bite of the Chiwas burger, we've been hooked. It instantly takes us back to our trips to Mexico & enjoying those unforgettable street-style burgers. The meat is always cooked perfectly, and the toppings and spices are packed with flavor. The fries come out hot every time and are seasoned just right. And the horchata?! Pure cinnamony goodness - definitely a must-try. On top of the great food, the employees are consistently friendly & make us feel genuinely welcome every time we come back. Definitely a place to try. read more

Main Burger - Chiwas burger and classic burger - Burgers Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Downtown Mesa is forming into an "it" place for food. Opting out of the chain restaurants of most of vibey strips in AZ (DT Gilbert, Scottsdale, etc...). Instead are a bunch of small business owner making their stake in this world. Main Burgers is just that. Right across the street from one of the few chain restaurants "Pedal Haus" is this cool little burger joint. They have a nice musical vibe with a varied mix. Very varied. Super cool. My wife had the classic burger and fries. She said it was delicious. Ranking up there with anything else she likes... The Five Guys, 7 Brothers, or In N Outs of the world. Sesame seed buns are always a plus. I had the Chiwas Burger Protein style. The patties were cooked great with just enough seasoning to give the meat flavor but not take away from the flavor of the meat. The sauce was amazing. It added a sweetness that distract from the small subtle bite of the spicy peppers. Full disclosure, I've been dabbling in spicy lately but still very much overreacted to anything over a super mild. The kicker was the slice of ham on top. Something about mixing pork and beef together that just works. In all this a great burger spot. What you are looking for when you want to go out and have a burger and beer and just chill for a minute. read more

Not gonna lie, I had to come here two days in a row to give a solid opinion. The first day I got a classic double and it had caramelized onions on it. Now, I truly think it's a sin to put caramelized onions On a classic unless you're at a White Castle but that's me. Day two, I ask for raw onions and they were more than happy to make it that way. They literally cook this on a grill right in front of you so you know it's done exactly right. The patty is perfectly salted and fried by a master grill man. This is a burger to champion fat and drunk people. Do you want to call me a liar? There is literally a brewery right across the street... test me bitch!!! Also, not to mention... they also serve Cider Corps beer if you are lazy!!! This is a perfect sober day burger or a drunk evening burger. Highly recommend... read more

This spot is a great go to for a quick bite, especially when you want something easy but still really good. We love coming here for a quick dinner, and the food never disappoints. You can tell the owners know what they're doing. They also own several well known restaurants in the area, and that experience shows in the quality and flavor. The burgers are elevated with Southwest and Mexican inspired ingredients that make them stand out from your typical burger joint. They also offer wings and salads, so there's something for everyone. Everything we've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Definitely a solid option when you want a fast, delicious meal without sacrificing quality. We were so hungry I ate without taking a picture! Guess we need to come back read more

Hit up Main Burger on Sunday after seeing a food influencer showcase it on Instagram. We live in Mesa but way East so making the trek to downtown is rare. The husband has being doing keto so he hasn't had a full fledge burger in awhile. He got the Chiwas single patty burger combo. I got the salad, not a meat eater but was looking forward to some of his fries. The burger he said was in his top 5, loved it. The fries were tasty but were not warm (still ate them). I imagine if they were hot they would be damn good! The salad wasn't worth it, so unless you are doing as an appetizer don't bother. But the cheesecake while pricey at $10 was so good. I love that they have a parking lot right behind the building, cause iykyk. Overall the husband will be back for sure. read more

Nothing special. Burger and fries were both way too salty. This is definitely a great place for hangover food however, can't see it being worth coming back otherwise. Ambiance was cool and staff friendly. read more

This is my third review of this burger spot. I have to say, I have been a few times for lunch since my first review and this time just after 5 pm on a Thursday night really fell short. The burger was out suspiciously fast. The patties were dry, under seasoned, and the cheese was charred like it was cooked on the griddle top. There was a hint of heat from the jalapenos on the Sonora burger but it seriously lacked the punch that I came to love about it from past visits. I hope this isn't the new status quo. Service was great as always. Friendly and helpful. I will have to try it again during the lunch rush as I have in the past. Maybe the day shift just does it better? read more

We were in the area for an event and when I saw a joyful burger mascot I knew it was go time. WOW wow wow, first they were busy, but the service was amazing. The order taker knew the food, made recommendations, and even brought us our food. The big draw is green chilis. I love me some green chilis and woohoo. Their burger chiwas and breakfast burger were both amazing, juicy, spicy, and cooked to perfection. Their fries were crisp even with the cheese on top which was a big win. I want to come back and try their other options. Nice little burger joint vibe, great place to eat while in downtown Mesa read more

Was in Mesa for a conference and stepped out for lunch. Looked up a few different places and ended up here at main burger! The menu is very simple which is nice because you don't have a million decisions to make. The service was great and despite being busy, they were really prompt on every order placed. The burger was very smash burger style but with house sauce and sautéed onions, it was the perfect amount of crispy and moist. The flavors were on point. The fries were hand cut style and crispy which I love but a few were just a tad too hard. Soft drinks and free refills really made this place shine. It is a tiny place so if you go right at lunch time you might wait for a table. Would definitely come back here again. Happy to have stumbled across this place! read more

Went to Main Burger shortly after it opened up in downtown Mesa. There was a ton of hype around it so I had to check it out. It's a cool little spot, inside vibes are very much like an old time burger diner, which I loved. The staff were friendly and helpful. I got the Double Chiwas (roasted green chile) burger. It was pretty good! It was definitely worth a try but not a jaw dropping experience. Scale of 1 - 10, I'd go back but not going out of my way to make it happen. read more

I had to try this place and see if it was worth the hype, and it was good. It reminded me of a classic mum and pop burger shop. Shredded lettuce, yummy sauce and cooked fresh to order. There isn't much seating in the inside, and I felt it was a bit overpriced. read more

I am glad we finally made it out here. I had a tough day after work last week, and my husband ended up not making dinner so we got some burgers! They have their own parking lot, but right behind them is public and free parking with many more spaces. The inside is a little small, but there is a plenty of seating outside. They make everything to order, so you can smell the grill once the order goes in. We ordered the Classic burger, single patty, the hotdog, and a cheesecake. The classic burger was pretty good - loved their pickles! Next time, we will try the other burger styles as it might give us the little oomph we were hoping for. The hotdog though was TOP TIER. It came with beans, cojita, chilies - it was just a dream. This was a great spot to try out, and the aesthetic was pretty cute too! read more

Wanted a quick but quality burger. Found this place and decided to give it a try and was not disappointed. It has a relaxing diner vibe.

Stopped by for dinner and it stayed busy the whole time we were there. We were helped a few mins after we arrived and the cashier was friendly. I ordered a plain double cheeseburger combo with toppings on side and my sister had a double Chiwas burger. We sat outside on the patio and the cashier brought us our food. The burgers came out hot and smelled delicious. My cheeseburger was good. The meat was cooked well, juicy, and had a lot of flavor. The chiwas burger was really messy and the bread quikcly became very soggy and it fell apart after a few bites. The flavor was good though. In total paid $43 for two burgers, one drink, and order of fries. read more

New burger joint in DT Mesa, used to be the old Subway sandwich shop. This is an upgrade for sure but I really wanted to like it more. Came in wanting to give 5 stars. Starting with the positives- it's very cute now, it was quick, and food was decent. I ordered the Chiwas burger -- single patty. Shared some of my friend's fries. It Was good, but not great. I thought I would be wowed but I just wasn't. I am a self proclaimed burger lover, and so I enjoyed it but I thought given the new place, higher prices, and mention of award winning chef it would be one of the better burgers I've had. It wasn't. And the connection to tacos Chiwas set my expectations higher since I love them. I might give it another try next time I'm over in the area. Not opposed to it. I actually see this place as 3.5/5 but Yelp doesn't do half stars (even though they should) and I don't want to down rate a new local place trying to get business going. So it's 4 stars with that in mind. read more

Caught some sunshine this weekend and stopped by Main Burgers with my spouse -- and wow, the Chiwas burger was the real MVP. I also tried the Sonora, which was solid, but that Chiwas? I'm already planning my next visit just for that one. The fries were crisped to perfection (the way fries should be), and the patio seating made it a great spot to chill and people-watch near the light rail. I wasn't blown away by the cheese sauce, but that's minor -- there's so much more I want to try from their menu. Service was quick and friendly, though I wouldn't have minded a little more energy from the staff. Still, overall vibe was chill and inviting. If you're in the area, this spot's definitely worth checking out. Bonus points for the bright pink baskets and that ice-cold Jarritos to wash it all down. read more

Main Burger - Chiwas burger, Fries, and Tamarind Jarrito. - Burgers Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

A definite upgrade from the old Subway that was here previously! We stopped by one night just before a big crowd came in (lucky!) There is some parking in their lot, but not a lot. The menu is simple (basically, burgers, dogs, salad, fries and cheesecake) and ordering is easy. I got the burger, double, Chiwas style. That's the one with cheese, green chiles, ham, onions and more. It came out with the melting cheese slowly sliding down the side of the burger, telling me to eat it NOW. The patties were very flavorful and the combination was tasty--ham on a burger, who knew? The chiles that evening were not very spicy, but still good. Overall, the combination worked for me even though it was really messy. I shared a side of fries with my wife and it was plenty with the double burger. Service was fast and the place was clean. read more

Main Burger - Double Chiwas burger - Burgers Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Good burger, many different types of varieties of burgers, I firmly recommend this place.

We have made an attempt at eating at Main Burger a couple weeks ago, but there was such a long line and no seating because of the crowd that we decided to wait a couple weeks. It was still busy, but we didn't have trouble getting a table for four inside at around 5:30. It did look to be picking up a little with people having to sit outside by the time we left. I'm a huge fan of restaurants from the Chiwas group. I especially love Espiritu and Santo Arcadia (the birria dumplings are amazing!!!). I've had the burger at Espiritu, and thought it was fantastic. I kind of had the same hopes for Main Burger. There's not much to the interior. White walls and a counter to order at, some basic tables and chairs. There is a pretty cool neon piece on the wall, and a painting of the main burger man on one wall. That's just about it - - cute enough but nothing special. I'm a little surprised at some of the reviews saying it's very instagrammable. Maybe I'm missing something? We ordered the Chiwas burger and the classic burger, both with fries. I wanted to be blown away by these burgers. They were fine. They were burgers. Again I'm kind of surprised at people saying these are mind-blowing burgers. There's nothing especially fantastic. They're just burgers with various toppings. They seemed to fall someplace between fast food burgers and full-service restaurant burgers. I didn't care for the fries. By the time I got them they were room temperature and kind of chewy. Don't get me wrong, I did not dislike this place. It was fine. I just can't help but wonder if people are jumping on the bandwagon and playing into the hype because of the talent that the Chiwas group is known for. People jump on these bandwagons all the time. I think that if this place opened and did not have their names attached to it, it might go unnoticed. Again, not bad, just not as fantastic as I keep hearing about. Will I be back? Probably - - I work in downtown Mesa and there isn't another place to get a burger downtown. Would I make a special trip to come here if I weren't in the area? Nope. I'll save my special trips for their other restaurants. read more

Went here several months ago, but it was on a Sunday and they close at 4. Guess what time i got there? Yup, 4. Got around to getting back there a couple days ago and, why did I wait so long! The buger was awesome! Very short menu so I went all out and ordered the double Chiwas burger. 2 charred patties that were some of the most flavorful I've had in a long time! Caramelized onions, cheese, green chillies, ham slice, sauce, pickles and lettuce . It was a big, beautiful, messy, tasty burger! I will definitely be back! The place is bright, clean and cheerful. Lively Mexican music playing and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. There's outdoor seating under umbrellas. Tables were clean and so was the floor. No complaints from me! read more

Finally got to try this new burger spot in downtown Mesa. The place itself is cute, with a nice atmosphere, but the food was just okay. The burgers were decent--not bad, but nothing special. The fries were a bit too greasy for my taste, though the loaded fries were definitely better than the regular ones. Overall, it's not a bad option if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. If I happened to be driving past, I might grab it again, but it's not a must-visit spot for me. read more

Our first visit to Main Burger was a wonderful experience. We went for dinner on a Saturday and were slightly worried that we wouldn't be able to get a table, but one table opened up right after we ordered. I really like how they redecorated the space. We enjoyed the music and the atmosphere is clean with tiled walls and pops of pink in the baskets and decor. We really enjoyed the food. The burgers were juicy and flavorful. The fries were hot and crispy. The cheese sauce I dipped my fries in had an excellent flavor but was a bit thin and didn't stick to the fries very well. This is a wonderful addition to the growing downtown Mesa food and beverage scene! read more

A la madre, where do I begin? Ok, so Main Burger is the kind of place that makes you question every burger you've ever settled for before (including OG's like In N Out, etc). Equal parts burger joint and flavor lab... this DT Mesa gem blends classic American comfort with a confident chingon Mexican flair, and the results are insane. Every bite feels intentional. The seasoning is perfectly balanced, the toppings are layered with purpose, and nothing is there "just because." You can taste the amor in the way flavors are built, not stacked... and it's clear the kitchen genuinely cares about pleasing the customer rather than rushing plates out the door. And then there's the pinche horchata. Calling it "decent" would be irresponsible y mal. It's unworldly, silky, perfectly spiced, and easily one of the most chingon horchata recipes around!! If you don't order it, you're doing yourself and your crew a disservice and quite possibly committing a small culinary crime. Don't let the location keep you away... Main Burger isn't just a great stop if you're in Mesa, it's an absolute must if you're anywhere within a 100-mile radius. Come thru hungry, come curious (try all the burgers), and be prepared to recalibrate your burger palate and standards. The only change I would consider is going from Main Burger to The Main Burger... one word to reclassify that status. Hamburguesa con puro amor, fuerte, y respeto! Gio read more

I have been wanting to try Main Burgers and it sure lived up to its great reputation!! It was packed on a nice Saturday at 2:00! It's clean, great energy in there and loved the cute pink baskets they serve the burgers and fry's in!! If you're a burger lover, this is the place you need to try! Every bite is packed with bold flavors, high-quality ingredients, and the perfect balance of textures. The Classic is exactly that-- a timeless favorite done right! The juicy all-beef patties, melted American cheese, crisp pickles, and rich caramelized onions come together beautifully with their signature house sauce, all on a soft brioche bun. The Sonora takes things up a notch with a crispy cheese crust (costra) that adds an irresistible crunch, plus smoky bacon and a spicy kick from chiltepin. It's a must-try for those who love a little heat! And then there's the Chiwas--a masterpiece of flavors. The rich queso asadero, fire-roasted green chiles, and a savory slice of ham make this burger unforgettable. It's a perfect fusion of flavors that will keep you coming back for more. No matter which one you choose, you can't go wrong. These burgers are juicy, flavorful, and absolutely crave-worthy! We got all three burgers and everyone loved theirs! I got to split the Sonora burger and the Chiwas burger both were AMAZING but my FAVORITE IS THE SONORA ONE JUST BECAUSE IT HAS MORE OF A SPICY KICK!! You won't be disappointed when you try this place out! read more

Very nice looking Burger place. Clean and bright inside. Great parking and location. Not convinced the burger is so good as to make it a usual thing for me. Rather smaller burger and fries for the price and going from a single to a double adds $5 bucks seems a little high to me. Service was fast. I like that they bring out your order to the table after counter Service. read more

Been waiting for this place to open as the notoriety of the chef has proven to to provide great food in the valley. The sonoran burger was good, bacon with finishing salt was a little too overpowering but they're still in soft opening and will probably get it fixed. The chiwas burger with the ham was a nice touch of flavor as the green chile added some slight heat. Fries were crispy! And they give you alot! Portion overall were good. Definitely glad to have another downtown Mesa restaurant that will soon become a staple forsure. The interior is nice and lots of seating but due to the popularity it's packed! Def would go back to try other menu items read more
