This place is fookin delicious. Best money for the best burger in my opinion as a professional chef. The have other food menu items as well like the shakes and my dads a picky eater, he got a turkey burger and wanted another to take home which was shocking cause he never goes for items like that. The nuggets were a good choice for my neice when we bring her here, way way healthier than fast food nuggets. Mom likes the teriyaki wrap which ive had before and it's bomb. There have a good selection of items I would deff come and check this place out. I've never not had a good meal from here. As a chef, I normally pride myself on saying "I could make this better at home" However Mojo Burger food has me humbly say "im going there to spend my money and eat the food, i cant do it better" Place is a solid 10/10 read more

I stopped here for some takeout recently and really enjoyed my meal. I had a standard single burger with all the toppings. The meat was cooked well. It had a good flavor and loved the toppings. I did the 1/2 fries, 1/2 onion rings for a side. The fries were hot and crispy. The onion rings were very tasty and the onion did not pull out of the crispy part. The staff was very friendly. Asked if I wanted ketchup and/or ranch. I took both. Food came quickly. read more

With the ever changing climate of food, somehow In N Out doesn't taste the same as it used to. Mojo has remained consistent, and I love that they serve grass fed beef. Their burgers are satisfying, their shake consistency is smooth yet thick, the fries are also the right texture and not overly salty. So addicting! Service has also been consistently top notch. On a nice day, it's great to enjoy outside on their patio. read more

The service was amazing! And I always get the teriyaki chicken rice bowl and it's absolutely delicious! The drinks are also very good and the food comes out really fast so you don't have to wait and while you wait there are speakers playing great songs. read more

If I could choose 0 I would. Ordered a classic burger with mayo, ketchup and pickles and cheddar cheese. Got home the burger had everything on it and no cheese which I paid extra for. Don't go there. read more

Hey there yelpers and looky Lou's. I wanted to share my experience at this local family-run business in California. When I'm in the area this is my go too burger place to visit. It's rare to find independent businesses here, so it was a real treat to visit and support them. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I usually order the #2 value meal double cheeseburger with the works. I hope to come back soon! read more

Mojo Burger - Burgers Near Me - San Jose, California

Very tasty burgers! Much preferred over the fast food machines, support your local small businesses!!

I was in the plaza on Monday, but they were closed. No problem. I again was in the plaza and decided to give them a try while I waited for my phone screen to be repaired. Friendly service. I was greeted as I entered. Wild West Bacon Cheeseburger: BBQ sauce, grilled onions, 2 slices bacon, 2 beer-battered onion rings, cheddar cheese. Burgers cooked medium well slightly pink in center (3/5). The patty itself was decent. Crispy/crunchy bacon strips along with the onion rings. At first, I was wondering if there was any BBQ sauce? There is, it's just not glopped on like some places. Fries: Crispy fries available in regular or large size (4/5). They had a little extra crunch from a light breading they added. Organic Milkshake (Pineapple 3.5/5): Indulge in a flavorful milkshake made with Straus Family Creamery vanilla soft serve available in Large, Regular, or Child sizes. Choose from enticing flavors like Orange Chocolate, Creamsicle, Salted Caramel, Oreo, Root Beer and more. It was tasty and a nice treat! Sorry, no pics as my phone was getting repaired. read more

Food was good but redhead lady with glasses was rude and doesn't just take the order without looking at you funny

Delicious food, service, and story, but pricy. The burgers are fresh and delicious and they never cut you short on food. Fries are a must have but I would skip on the onion rings next time. Lots of options for milkshakes which were great! Got two burgers, 2 orders of the half onion rings half fries, and 2 milkshakes for 54. I love the story of the family and the owner and his wife were working the front desk. read more

This burger joint just has a special place in my heart. I used to live extremely close to one of their locations and grew up with seeing the two owners in house, working everyday and delivering top quality burgers to San Jose. Service was straightforward, fairly quick and easy. They also do an amazing job at sharing the story of how the establishment was founded and the commitment to quality. Love Mojo Burger and would highly recommend it! read more

Came here for lunch today with a group of friend's. You order at the counter and the menu is right above it. I decided on the single burger. I loved that you have a lot of options for toppings and condiments for your burger. I also liked that I can choose how my burger is cooked. I chose medium rare with lettuce, tomato, pickles grilled onions with ketchup and mustard. I also ordered the onion rings. The burger was ready in less than 10 minutes. It was fresh and tasty. The meat was very juicy and the vegetables were so fresh. The onion rings were piping hot and crispy and they gave a generous portion. Overall, the food was good, but pricey. I also ordered a small drink and my total bill was $19.96. I do feel that they used fresh ingredients and good quality beef. I would come here again and would like to try the chicken sandwich. I also wanted to mention that they have great customer service. The employees were really friendly and happy to help us. read more

The Caucasian lady at the register and Hispanic man at the grill were super nice! I ordered the Thai chili bowl with two extra patties. Was surprised there was pineapple with the bowl but it was actually really really good. Burger patty was pretty good so I ordered three more patties to eat with my left over rice. An older man helped me with the extra patties. The man did not seem happy at all the entire time I was there. Ever felt like you weren't wanted? He made me feel like that. Unwanted. As for everything else would have given 5 stars. Baseball on t.v. Light pop music playing, read more

Written by my middle school daughter after our first Mojo visit: 10/10 recommend Mojo Burger. I love how everyone was so inviting and kind at the front desk, they made me feel really welcome when I walked into their restaurant. I think it is really cute how they are family owned and how they plastered the whole Mojo story on the wall so that you can look at it while you wait for your food. And the best thing about my experience with Mojo Burgers was their actual burgers. I will tell you that it was the best burger I have ever had. The patty tasted fresh and was cooked perfectly. I also love that they added toasted fluffy buns, lettuce, tomato, and a sauce that was in all ways perfect. I also got the beer battered onion rings and they were juicy, fresh, big, and didn't have too thick of an outer layer that I quickly ate. I love Mojo Burger and totally recommend it for a burger lover like me. read more

So we went back today so I could actually try the food, I had a classic with guac and swiss. Very heavy handed with the guac, it was way too much, but the burger was good. The onion rings were fantastic, beer battered and fried perfectly. It's so super loud in there though I could barely hear anything. We brought my diabetic alert service dog with us, this time (Last time she was getting groomed) she only had her collar tag on so they asked us when she came in if she was a service animal, and she is, but she's still being trained on her out in public stuff, So the flooring scared her cause she's not been on that floor before (weirdo lol) But after a few minutes she was handling it like a champ and spent the meal next to me , pretty much under the table being a very good girl. I bring this up because on the way out of the restaurant, a gentleman who works there told us not to bring her in again without a vest on. The ADA does not require this. She did not make one single sound, or pay attention to anything but staying where she could do her job, neither did she make a mess, beg for food or in anyway deviate from her job. The ONLY thing she refused to do, was settle on the floor because it was new floor and she is still learning. She did sit and she did not wander at all. For reference: https://www.ada.gov/resources/service-animals-2010-requirements/ I let him know that the ADA does not require that, and if we weren't welcome to have her with us, we would not be returning. Which sucks because those onion rings were really good and we were already planning what we'd be getting next time we came. read more

Think Little League Games on a Saturday morning Your group is starting to get hungry so you head over to the snack shack and order some burgers. Mojo burgers is what you'd get! decent burgers topped off with some nostalgia. A local business that embodies those summer cookouts. I tried some cheeseburgers and the mushroom Swiss burger along with some sweet potato fries. While the burgers stand-alone wouldn't be much to shout about, the SP fries are AWESOME and they're an iconic business here in SJ. read more

This was my first time here and I know I will be coming back. Charbroiled burgers are always yummy, but 100% organic grass fed beef really adds a delicious flavor! The onion rings and fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Service was great and friendly. The owner and founder was at the counter taking orders. The place is small, clean and cozy. You walk in and us greeted by the delicious scent of grilled meat. Don't forget to order a milk shake! Thick, delicious and full of flavor. read more

We just moved to the area and ordered 7 double cheeseburgers for us and our moving guys. Not knowing what to expect we were really happy with the quality and taste of these burgers. Would recommend and definitely have again. read more

I've driven by the place so many times but finally decided to give them a try. I ordered via Doordash which is a nice convenience if you don't want to go out. I read the great reviews about their fries so I decided to order a large size along with a regular cheeseburger. I also added a couple of sauces, honey mustard and ketchup. My friend is a vegetarian so it's nice they have two veggie burger options. I thought the cheeseburger was good! Their fries were as delicious as described. Their food reminds me of old school burger diners, which I love. I also liked that nothing was missing in our order, especially the sauces. It's usually the sauces in delivery orders that never make it. I recommend their business! read more

Mojo Burger - Regular cheeseburger with American cheese and a large fry. Delicious! - Burgers Near Me - San Jose, California

I used to frequent this place when it was in the other location on Bird. Have been going to this newer place for a while and noticed the menu changing alot. Decided to try a few things and wasnt happy. I stuck to my usual double cheeseburger n drink. Not a fry guy. Lately Ive noticed the burgers have gotton smaller and they smash all the juice out of them. I asked about it and was kinda rudely told by a short haired young lady thats how we do it. I finished my food and left without the pleasure of the ownerrs saying hi/bye. Such a great place years ago, I guess its how its done now. read more

Love their Mushroom Swiss Burger and Fries! Their Milk Shacks are wonderful. I really like that they offer out of the ordinary flavored shakes. Freshly prepared food to your specifications. It's really nice that Mrs Mojo remembers us and what we like. read more

Been to Mojo Burger a few times. I tried them ions ago at Christmas in the Park. They were selling donut burgers. My god, that was over 7yrs ago. When I moved to this area, we came here a few times. I have had their mushroom and Swiss burger, their fries, their nuggets, their onion rings, even their milkshakes. All are made fresh and very delicious. I love supporting a local business plus their meat is grass fed, free range, and their milkshakes are organic. What?! I love the feeling of "fast food" made w/ quality. I wouldn't call Mojo Burger a fast food restaurant though. It was my 1st week into my carnivore diet so I was not used to eating completely at home. I like going out to eat! Anyway. Came here to have a quick bite before his ice cream social at school and I was able to do so compliantly w/o sacrificing taste. Well, buns, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, mayo, ketchup, mustard, and fries would have been excellent, but I'm 7lbs down and feeling incredible. That day I ordered a triple burger w/ bacon and Swiss. Thanks for serving quality classics! Service is always excellent. read more

How have I never heard of MOJO Burger before?!?!? The wife and I had gone to Zanatto's to get some Italian groceries and I was hungry for lunch. We saw MOJO burger and the signs that said grass fed beef and organic shakes so we decided to check it out. The wife got a burger combo and I got the Western Bacon Burger. After a few minutes our burgers arrived and we dug in. The burgers were nice and charred and tasty but it was the fries that really got our attention. Super crispy on the outside and nice and fluffy on the inside. I ended up buying a chocolate shake and it was pretty much perfect. There is only one way to make a chocolate shake and that is by starting out with vanilla ice cream and adding chocolate syrup to it. Anyone that makes a chocolate shake with chocolate ice cream doesn't know what they're doing. I'm happy to say that MOJO makes shakes the right way and they're delicious. While waiting for our food we read the MOJO burger story on a sign on the wall. Funny enough the owners, whos picture is on the wall, (husband and wife), were working there. I told them we enjoyed the food and they seemed appreciative. Prices are a tad high here but I guess you're paying for the grass fed beef and all that. But the bottom line is the food here is indeed good. read more

Mr and Ms Mojo met at McDonalds and worked there for a long while. They started their own place here in WG and it's tasty. We had a classic combo with the upcharge for a shake. Burger was tasty charbroil and tasted like meat not cardboard. Cheese was real. We got onions and I liked the red chopped vs white. Fries were crappy hot beer batter style. It's a casual, fun neighborhood joint and super local. Owner was in the kitchen, a few local kids working. More people should come. You can also get a beer if you want. Yum! read more

The best burger I have ever tasted wowzers I never came here before but man I will be back again

Food and service is always amazing. I love their fries and great shakes. This is a family run establishment and they are always friendly!

School of Walk Walk From Home Challenge 5/10 Round-trip distance: ±3.5-miles (5.6km) Mojo Burger (MB) opened their first location on Bird Ave in 2003, and is the brainchild of McDonald's Hamburger University graduate, and avid surfer, Peter Favre (aka Mr. Mojo). This locally-owned, family-run burger joint was consistently named one of the Silicon Valley's "Best" burger joints by local publications. At one time they had three brick-and-mortar locations including the aforementioned OG, South SJ on Snell and this one. They also had a two counters located at SJC and another at SJSU--as well as a food trailer that they would take to outdoor events. This Foxworthy location is now the last of the Mohicans, so to speak. Are they victims of growing too big too fast? I can't really say, but I do know they serve up a pretty decent burger. The Good: *Fries have changed over the years but I must say this new variation is really quite good as they have some kind of seasoning on there that creates a crunchy, tasty bite. *Strauss Organic real ice cream shakes are always a winner here. *The A-1/Worcester sauce that comes with the mushroom-Swiss burger is frggin' fantastic. Totally wasn't expecting it but it really gave the burger a nice umami flavor to go along with the beef and mushrooms. *Outdoor covid-friendly dining area *Maybe once-a-month or so a bunch of old-timers in the area bring their classic cars here for a mini-show. The Meh: *They seem to only cook their 100% grass-fed Angus burgers one-way and they come out kinda dry. Grass-fed beef is already leaner than normal beef so cooking it to standard temps results in a dry burger. However, with that said, it was still tasty and the aforementioned sauce really helped keep it juicy. The Ugly: *Seems like every order is packed to-go regardless of dining in or out status. Not sure if this is a symptom of Covid or just the normal way they do business now? The could def save a few bucks--and the environment --if they asked if you're dining in or out and package it accordingly. TLDR: Tasty burger, fresh spuds and creamy shake. Pretty much all one needs, if I'm being honest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

Passed this location on my way to a friend's house. Normally chalk paint outside an establishment gives me fast-food vibes and I avoid, BUT the chalk-painted signs were boasting ORGANIC Milk Shake and GRASS-FED Beef. My salivary glands became curious/intrigued. Chose a Mushroom Swiss Burger with a turkey patty. Came out piping hot- perfect on a cold and wet Monday. Bun was lightly toasted and cheese was great Swiss that wasn't too sour. Very pleasantly satiated and loved the flavor. Will be back for another burger and onion rings- sadly they were out of stock on this visit, but made up for it with Halloween trick-or-treat candy. read more

Craving a burger decide to try a local spot, food did not disappoint. Honestly best old school burger I've had in a long time, and the double crisp fries - heaven! Coconut milkshake was a nice treat, will definitely be back! read more

I went here once, couldn't believe a burger was $15 and I was expecting the quality to be phenomenal, nope. Will never go back here again.

If you're looking for a killer classic American burger spot , MOJO BURGER. Their pattys have flavor and their food is high quality for fast food. I've tried almost every burger spot in the area from the "high ends" to hole in the walls. Mojo is on my list of weekly eats, I prefer my burger with no bun and they lettuce wrap it perfect. You can see how clean the back kitchen is over the counter and see your fresh food being made. A lot of burger chains can't take the quality control that mojo burger can, if you want a true American burger spot go see a family run mom and pop business and give Mr. And Ms's Mojo try. read more

TL;DR: Even just writing this review up makes me want to drive right over and get the meal again. I'm salivating at the thought of the next time I get the burger and fries again. I know I used the word 'perfect' a lot here, but the burger and fries really are perfect in every dimension. A no-frills place, I'm so appreciative of having a simple classic burger and fries perfected. I wish they had Dr Pepper and were a little cheaper, but that doesn't really matter. Every part of the burger and every part of the fries were so good, I wanted to just melt. I could die happy. Burger 5.00/5.00 Spoilers -- Mojo Burger is hands-down the best burger I've had in the SF Bay Area, and only second to my all-time favorite which is in the Denver Area. I literally have nothing bad to say about it; everything is just about perfect. The bun is perfectly lightly toasted, and it flattens out but keeps its integrity so I can fully mouth my burger without it dissipating or going too flat. The lettuce is shredded, crisp, and fresh. The tomato-the right thickness and right amount (one good slice is all I need; two and it's almost too much). The ketchup is present and textured without being too little or too much, and dispersed evenly, without getting absorbed by the bun. The bacon is not exactly perfect, but it is near-perfect -- crispy and a tiny fatty, deep-colored, and decently thick. Maaaybe I would have it slightly thicker and slightly crisper on its edges, but I'm being nitpicky here. I almost feel like I have no words for how good the meat and cheese were. The meat patties were bursting with flavor but weren't overpowering or heavy, and it was just the right amount of thickness and was perfectly cooked. The thick cheese has that old-school greasy flavor that was perfectly melty and meshed into the meat. I felt like I had a burger-gasm eating it. It was so good, it made me want to cry tears of joy ecstasy. I've been here several times and it's always been consistent. I think I've said all I needed to say. Fries 5.00/5.00 Spoilers -- Mojo Burger fries are hands-down the best fries I've ever had, and not only are they so good, but they're unique too. I don't know how they do it, but it's almost got like extra 'breading' on its edges to create more crispiness and texture. I also suspect they may use the J Kenji science hack of using baking soda? That mouthfeel is amazing. They are the perfect thickness -- not too thick, not too thin. It has that golden ratio of outside crispiness to inside soft but textured almost like mashed parts. Speaking of golden, the fries have perfect color and are perfectly cooked, and the flavor is so good that it doesn't even need salt. If there is salt, it's so well-integrated that I can't see it or know it's there. Soda 4.25/5.00 They don't have my favorite soda, Dr Pepper :( But at least they have Coke and not Pepsi (and Barq's Root Beer is also an option). It was syrup-y and carbonate-y, but not too much. Just a normal fountain machine so I was glad to not see a Coke Freestyle one. Price 4.00/5.00 I've only had Mojo post-pandemic so I can't speak to how it was priced originally, but during these tough economic times, the price still feels a little bit of a stretch. The total for the meal came out to $24.06 after tax. However, since they are perfect and consistent, I don't mind shelling out that extra cash, especially for a 'mom-and-pop' place. Service 4.50/5.00 There was no line when I went in. I've only ever seen a man and woman work there, so I think of it as a 'mom-and-pop' place. The pop usually takes my order and he always looks at me like I'm crazy when I greet him, but I'm assuming that he means well and that's just how he is. I don't think I've ever seen him look happy. Seems like a straight-shooter and just wants me to cut the small talk and get right to ordering and that's okay. The woman is a lot more warm and jovial. She usually is the one to call out the name and hand out the food, which I got in five minutes. She made absolutely sure I had all that I needed which was sweet. I've never had any issues here. It seemed to pick up in traffic with a variety of people, even though I was there at off-hours on a weekday. Ambiance 4.25/5.00 I'm a fan of places that don't feel the need to be flashy or frivolous, but still show a little personality in small ways. The non-updated interior and furnishing give a slightly nostalgic feel, along with the window-markered menu item callouts. It looks like it got a fresh paint job, but with a weird pastel but bright blue and teal, totally mismatching the brick-colored floor. They have some outdoor seating so I always end up there. Like other places with a similar vibe, I feel right at home here. Menu I was surprised to see a tilapia burger, teriyaki and thai chili wraps, and rice bowl here. Guess I'll try them at some point? lol read more
