RAHHHHH GOD BLESS AMERICA THIS BURGER WAS SO GOOOOOD. The buns were perfectly toasted, reminded me of smash burger buns. Applewood bacon was absolutely amazing, the sweet flavor was very needed and they give quite a lot (tasted some in every bite). Patties were FAT, overall moist but can be dry in some areas. Onions were really well caramelized and sweet. Not sure what crack cocaine they put into the sauce but it was amazing too. Fries were very crispy and very well seasoned. The family workers were super nice, excellent service, and just very fun to talk to. The overall vibe is very cozy and the decorations were really cute. Also had cornhole. AMAZING SPOT
This place was a nice surprise. We decided to have lunch and seen this new burger addition. The burgers bun alone was 5 star. Nice and toasted bun with each bite. I asked for extra mayo, but it came with its own special sweet sauce. Nice size burger we are stuffed! My only compliant is where you order. It's not easy to find a little confusing. We just asked for help, but the food was worth it.
Rey TJ Burgers is part of a collaborative indoor food court which it is part of a half-dozen or so other separate eateries (i.e. taqueria, sushi, taco stand, seafood, etc.). Despite being located indoors, my dog was allowed in their food court and it was very clean and comfortable inside. We came during the late lunch time (Thurs 1:45pm) and the dining area during our visit was pretty quiet (less than 15% capacity). I assume it's much busier than this during peak lunch or dinner time. NOTE: Rey TJ Burgers does not sell beverages. But you'll be able to purchase sodas, water, juices, or alcoholic beverages at any of the other eateries right next to RTJB. I had a single patty cheeseburger (minus mayonnaise & pickles) and an order of seasoned shoestring fries. The lady taking my order was nice enough to charge me for a double patty to accommodate a single patty w/ no salt for my dog who was with me. PROS: service was great, dining area was clean, food tasted fresh, prices were reasonable. CONS: I love burgers! I was also hungry so I finished this single patty cheeseburger with no problem. I just didn't think it rated among the best burger spots I frequent. That's no knock on Rey TJ Burgers. It's middle of the pack, would I eat here again, yes. If someone asked me to list my top 5 burger spots in town, would Rey TJ Burger make the list, no. That said, I am happy that new burger spots are opening up and giving choices to us patrons. It's a solid 3++ stars for me.
I heard about this spot on IG, and everything was looking delicious. I came early for the grand open, and it's a very chill spot, and they have corn hole on the side. I got the double burger with fries, and I was blown away. I'm not a big fan of Thousand Island sauce, but theirs was very tasty!!! The fries were also delicious because they were very well seasoned. I was very impressed with my meal!!! I'll be back for sure!! Thank you, Rey Tj Burgers!!!!
Well we came here with high expectations. It was listed in an article on the top three burger places in Chula Vista, alongside one of our favorites, a stand-by, the Balboa South. So I really came with some high expectations. And they were not approached. The burger was ok. It wasn't awesome and it wasn't horrible. It was ok. I might well say somewhat above average, but not by much. The fries were actually pretty good. The folks were reasonably friendly. If that was all there was to say here I would probably be giving it 3 stars and with some other good notes it might have made 4 stars. But there were enough downsides to take a 3 and push it over the edge to a 2. First off, it was expensive. I won't say that I've never paid $19 (plus tax) for a 1/2lb burger with a dash of fries. I expect that at the Hyatt. Or the Parc. I just don't expect it in an open air on a picnic table with a walk up order next to a parking lot. Our picnic table was not clean when we sat. Not normally great sin at a place with open air picnic tables, but it was only 5:30 and the place was empty except for 2-3 staff, so this wasn't dealt with before we got there because? If there was a usable bathroom, nearby my wife wasn't directed to it to wash her hands. Instead it was washbasin, without soap, emphasizing the somewhat sketch level of cleanliness throughout. The best seating in the place also happens to be right by the entrance, right by the parking lot. That particular evening saw a series of about seven to ten V8 Mustangs slowly backing and filling in front of the entrance dumping exhaust gasses onto the front table--ours. The disappointing thing is that there was no response by the staff, so I assume this happens a lot. A lot more often than I would want to face in the future. I've got no issue with a cheap, good hamburger joint being a cash only place. But at $19 for an average cheeseburger not accepting credit cards seemed shocking. Minor, I know, but I can't remember the last time I paid $19 for a cheeseburger and couldn't buy a beer. So we left unfulfilled. It started at average and worked its way down. Too bad.
There is a part of me that doesnt want to write this review. That part comes from the greedy desire to keep this place my secret. With that said, HOLY SHIT this burger slaps! Best burger I have ever had. Ordered the double cheeseburger with bacon and onion. Presentation: 10/10 Taste: 11/10 Price: 9/10 Overall satisfaction 11/10 Geeezus H I want another one asap Ughhh I hope they prosper, but I guess ill wait in long lines. It will happen. Ordering in this food hall type space can be a touch confusing, but now that I know, im good to go for my next visit. Thank you for existing
It's a small Mexican burger place with a few big and small tables. They accept Cash only, you can do Zelle or Venmo too. The burger is pretty good; the beef patty is fresh, tender, and juicy. The fries are good as well; not oily nor salty, just crispy right amount. They have some sodas and juice. The watermelon & strawberry juice is good. I will come back again.
Burger super juicy and gourmet. The meat was definitely fresh and all ingredients that structured this burger. Great place to have a drink enjoy a burger and watch your favorite sports with friends and family. Great service specially when it comes to placing your order.
New favorite burger spot! Had the Nachos, bacon onion burger and fresh fruit drink. Burger was to die for, the sauce is tangy and delicious with the onions cooked perfectly on a toasted bun. Fresh fruit drink was a definite repeat! Our child loved the nachos(no jalapeño). We will definitely be returning
The burger was made fresh on the spot flavor was amazing I was quite happy with the portion size everything about it was spot on and to top it off the costumer service was great
1st time trying this spot and everything was very delicious/tasty. Haven't had a burger that tasted this good since I moved here to SD. Meat was very juicy and the bread was grilled with a little crisp on the edges which gave it a great texture! The fries were crispy which I loved. I also enjoyed the Watermelon with strawberry Agua fresca. This place will definitely have much more business coming to them once more people find out of them. Owners were very nice and welcoming. We will be coming back!! Very relaxed ambiance and accessible parking.
Rolled south to Rey Tj Burger's on Main Street in Chula Vista with my sultry shawty yesterday for a couple of the tastiest cheeseburgers around. This outdoor joint provides a friendly welcoming vibe, solid tunes and comfortable seating. Ample parking with an easy walk up to order situation. Relax, take a chair and quickly brought to your table are fresh, savory, juicy hot plates of heaven with all the trimmings. Fresh crispy condiments are well balanced with perfectly crafted patties and topped with abundant cheese between pillowy buns that will cause true burger bliss to rain down upon all your senses. French fries are fire. Sporting a huge watermelon grin, my gorgeous girl devoured her sandwich in short order with sincere gusto....Oh boy, a sure winner without any doubt. Outstanding, efficient, and thoughtful service is provided by team familia Rey which elevates this dining experience to the next level. Special place with a load of love this is. I highly recommend Rey Tj Burger's for locals, visitors or anyone hankering for a satisfying solid meal. Stoner Grub Rank: 9.0
The food was delicious! Possibly the best burger I've ever had. The service was on point. The vibe was great too. They had music playing and lights strung throughout the patio area. Even down to their "bamboo" plates. I will definitely eat here again when in the area.
Store front is still being built so there is only one picnic table under a canopy. Parking is limited with maybe 4 spots so you'll need to find parking in the neighborhood. The kitchen is also outside so it's similar to a farmer market set up. I ordered an onion bacon cheese burger and was surprised but how juicy the burger was. The caramelized union and crispy bacon paired well with the burger and gave great texture. Fries were covered in a Cajun seasoning was fried well done. Recommend you order ahead and pick up while the storefront is still being built. read more

My two hour workout probably didn't make much of a dent in the decadence of this meal, but it was worth it! I came down here because I have a friend from up north who's come down here a few times and suggested this place. He said it's one of his favorite places when he's in town, so that's saying a lot if it's a top place for him and the family. He was right. This was a juicy and incredibly tasty burger. I'd say it's up there with Amboy in Chinatown (Los Angeles) or the newer Amboy spot at Haven City Marketplace in Covina. This place is a gem. Ordering can be a little misleading; hence minus one star. This is a food court setup, and there are menus for each restaurant in these individual stands that are placed on top of a snack wall. If you're going to order from Rey TJ Burgers, it'll be to the left of the main restaurant/register that's directly in front of you when you enter. The main line is Mexican (and seafood I believe?), so I was standing for a while until a lady realized I was holding the Rey TJ burger and called me over. Ordering was easy. Rey TJ's didn't have drinks, so I hard to order from the Mexican food line. The cucumber aqua fresca was AMAZING. Definitely one of the best experiences since I've had since I've moved to the San Diego area. I'm loving it here more and more. I've also had the opportunity to practice a lot of Spanish which I absolutely appreciate. The people here are amazing and much warmer than many of the parts of Los Angeles. Buen dia! read more
This place fell short of my expectations. My coworkers brought it up to me, therefore we wanted to try since my son & husband lovessss burgers. It's a food court with its own shared parking lot. When we went in there was a huge line to the door. As you go up the line, there are multiple menus placed to your left in which they have multiple different food options to choose from. Gave me anxiety as I felt rushed coming here for the first time. A line gathering up behind us, ppl in front of me, didn't want to be rude reaching over ppl to grab the menus. So just waited as we moved up to look at them. There's so many options it's overwhelming. Once we got to the front, we were trying to place our order only to find out we waited in line for nothing. The burger line was the empty line to the left which there's no signage or nothing to explain. We did order 1 adobada taco, a horchata, & a sprite. The girl forgot my sprite, told me to go order in the left line for burgers. So when I was placing our burger order, I asked for the sprite I never received. The cashier for burger spot said I have to go back into the other line to order that. Confusing af. Luckily it had 2 customers & not a line out the door like when we first arrived. I ordered the smoked brisket burger, my son the Russel cheeseburger, & my hubby the "burgers & fries." My son did not touch his burger, literally went to waste. My husband said his was ok. As for my brisket burger, I did not like mine at all. It was super salty. It came with a meat patty & CHUNKS of cubed brisket? When I got smoked brisket I assumed it would've been like a pulled pork texture. Quite the opposite. They were chunks of cubed meat. I didn't finish mine. We took everything to go & didn't eat the leftovers once home. We paid around $50 for some less than mediocre burgers that I could've done better at home. I liked that the food court had a self serve salsa bar with plenty of salsas, ingredients, etc. The presentation of the food was good! But the food just wasn't it for us. Probably would never return tbh. Also, when we were wrapping up - the server was hovering over us to finish so she could take the boards/fry basket back. Not like we're gonna steal them. Lol. But I get it, maybe previous patrons have put them near the trash or thrown them away. As the burger place may be its own individual business aside from the food court. read more

This placed was really hyped up on instagram so figured I'd give it a shot at the new Broadway location. Wanted to try the brisket burger but they were out so got the onion burger. I don't know if they dipped the burger in grease before serving it but damn!! It was dripping grease or butter or something. The bun was saturated in whatever liquid was oozing out of the burger. I could only eat half of it. The picture shows part of what dropped out of the burger that wasn't soaked up by napkins. The bacon was also not cooked. For the price approx $20 and the size and the flavor this burger spot is not it. read more

Just came here with my hubby. Just looking for a good burger. We did not get that. We got a GREAT burger. Legit best one I've ever had. His homemade sauce was so good, burgers cooked to perfection. Just the right amount of everything. The fries were simple and perfect too. Don't let location fool you, you won't be disappointed. I ate a single, and I couldn't eat it all, not for lack of trying tho. read more
