Look at my last review two years ago. It was five stars. We went yesterday and the food quality has gone way down. The fries were homemade but soggy. The tater tots were not hot and not tasty, not like when we were there two two years ago. The burger wasn't even hot enough to melt the cheese. The water was pink. Evidently the punch up above the water was leaking into the water. That needs fixing. They used to have hot, fresh, crinkle fries, but not now. They also gave you a generous quantity of tater tots, but that's gone down too. The white door in the seating area has black greasy large marks all over it, and it needs a fresh coat of paint or at least a good cleaning. The employees are nice and the dining area is relatively clean and has lots of windows. We probably won't come back. read more

It's changed for the worse the burgers are smaller the flavor ain't there I mean they give u a smashed burger what it looks like now I understand things change but WOW this place has lost it most definitely read more

Hand down one of the best burger places in-town. The hamburgers have amazing flavor cooked perfectly friendly staff and great service.

Salas Burgers is exactly what a local burger joint should be. No frills, no fuss..just solid, homestyle burgers made right. The fries are so good!... What really makes this place shine is the vibe--laid-back, welcoming, and the employees are super chill and approachable. You won't get any attitude here, just good food and good people. If you're looking for a classic, satisfying burger without the hype, this is the spot. read more

I love Salas and have been coming here since I was a kid. I get the junior cheeseburger and share the jumbo fries with my family because they are huge. They never get my order wrong either which I appreciate because whenever I ask for no onions at other places they always get it wrong. The restaurant is always clean and you can see them wiping the tables after the occupants leave. read more

Saw Salas Better Burger on social media and had to try it. It was very good! I would say a better version of Whataburger. The fries were really good too, more like steak fries but still very good. I wish I would've ordered a double! read more

Outstanding burger And the fries are worth the visit. Good service Fair price. Not from there so miss not be there to go again read more

The fresh burgers are delicious and hot with fat patties that taste homemade, like you'd get if you made them yourself. They come with all the usual condiments. The crinkle fries are crunchy and hot. They have delicious tater tots too. The employees are always nice too. They will come out to your car to take your order and your payment method. They do have indoor seating now too. read more

I found Salas Better Burger to be overrated by enthusiastic fans. The burger was good but comparable to What-A-Burger in size and taste. The patty is much thinner than the pictures on the menu suggest. The other ingredients and bun were very good. So while the burger IS good, it is not gourmet nor exceptional, but fairly normal for fast food. The regular fries were a disappointment, substandard and soggy. If I return I will try the curly fries or tater tots and hope they're better. Other reviewers seem to like those. The restaurant is a local business with a 37 year history. They have many loyal local fans. The building may not have been updated in all those years. It doesn't have any curb appeal. If I were the owner and wanted to continue at this location I would add a couple of potted plants and antiques and take advantage of the small town mom and pop shop feel. The employee who took my order was friendly and competent. Based on my visit, you should be prepared to wait a while for your meal to be prepared. The drink station had typical soda pop selections, and iced tea made from concentrate (not fresh brewed). The outdoor seating is one picnic table right outside the front door under a roof (you'll be thankful for that as the Summer heat is exceptionally hot). The indoor dining air conditioned room has two sections: there is an additional room in the back painted pink. I do believe in supporting local businesses, so I will return. They are good but there is room for improvement. Their prices are comparable or better than their chain competition. read more

Fast service, home style burgers, great prices, small town homey feel. Bacon Cheeseburger is great choice if you're visiting

Consistent with the other reviews, the burger was very good, practically outstanding. The way a roadside burger should be. The fries... I'd prefer them more crispy less mushy, but for that style of fry also very good. Sit in your car, phone in the order (phone number is on the door). They bring you your order. If you like real, honest to goodness diner style cheeseburgers, this is the place to get one. Cheeseburger, fries, and a coke. The only way to go. read more

Burgers are good. Prepared when ordered. Just wish I had not seen the cook holding his cell and showing the others something. Dirty phones. Dirty hands. Not cool. read more

So far this place is 3.75 stars out of 5 stars. Location 4 stars. I took my order to go. Enough parking, open space inside place was chill not hot specially with all this heat. Place was empty. Customer service 4 stars. Person took my order over phone was nice but did miss double cheese. Person at register no concerns. Little bit chat or smile would have make it better. Food 3.5 stars. Disappointed in portion size of large fries. Fresh cut fries are always better, that what we had. I was told later from coworker they have a jumbo serving. Burgers don't look appetizing due to lettuce. Also meat was dry over cooked. I am sure that can we fixed by requesting medium rare. Yes, i will visit this place again. I would love to try onion Rings. read more

Great burgers and try steak sandwich. Fries are large and tasty. Save 39% versus Other hamburger places.

Best burger in Del Rio- a gem of a find. But calling ahead can be difficult because this is a local favorite!

Lived in Del Rio from 1999 - 2002. It has been awhile since I've been here. So glad I made the trip! Burger and French fries were fresh and hot. Burger big and great taste. Fries were big and meaty. Due to coronavirus utilizing curbside service. Two young ladies coming out to your vehicle to take your order. They were friendly and professional Great food and great service! read more

Must try these burgers especially if you're from out of town, these burgers have a unique amazing taste you will not regret coming here for lunch or dinner !! read more

If you love greasy fries this is the place. In the future I will have to start requesting that cooks not burn patties.

Good food. Stopped by when I came down to visit my hometown. This business has been around for a long time and is a favorite for many

I thought Salas Better Burger was a pretty good place to have lunch. The burger is grilled, the tater tots were crispy, and the jalapeño bombers delightful. I like simple burgers: meat, bun, mustard, onion, and jalapeños. That's what we got here. Note: simple doesn't equal bad. Personally, I don't think one has to reinvent a hamburger to make it taste good; It's something that has worked well for a long time. The menu is straight-forward and reasonably priced. Everything is a la cart like In-n-Out which is awesome. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone in the area. I wish they would toast the hamburger bun but other than that everything was pretty good. read more

The spot for HOMEMADE style burgers not your typical fast food burger. Not gourmet. But just comfort food. They have burgers, fried fish, tacos, grilled cheese, fish burger, chicken burger, jalapeno poppers, onion rings, tater tots and the best freakin fries you will ever eat. Its always been del rios only REAL burger joint. read more

Salas Better Burger - The best in all of Del Rio Tx. - Burgers Near Me - Del Rio, Texas

The people were great but the food wasn't. It wasn't bad, just was worth the 4.5 stars here on YELP. I had tacos and they didn't offer flour, lid they were store bought. There was very meat inside and it was piled with lettuce, tomato and cheese so much so that you could not taste any carne. The salsa was in packets, even for eat-in!!! I could go on but I don't want to beat a dead horse. To be fair, my colleagues had burgers and were very please and this part of my score, otherwise it would have been lower. read more

Tastes like Whataburger and have pretty bad ass fries. I would definitely recommend this place

This is it ladies and gentleman. This is the finest dining establishment in Del Rio, TX. This place is really a four star, but I'm giving it five to balance out the reviews below. So first, the burgers. Amazing. They really have it figured out. I have never ordered a disappointing burger here. Two patties with bacon and all the fixings, you can't go wrong. And cheap as too. You can feed two people here for $10 easy. The fries, curly fries, and tator tots are all excellent as well, although I'm partial to the curly fries. Second, the atmosphere. This is small border town dining at it's finest. A small, greasy establishment with a few booths in the front and the back and a friendly staff. You can't beat it. You can't get a better burger within 150 miles, so why even try? Hit this place up for lunch or dinner and you won't leave hungry. Great quality burgers and sides for an awesome price is a winner in my book. Trust me, coming from the east coast where good food is in abundance, I have been disappointed so many times dining out in Del Rio. This place does NOT disappoint. read more

At SBB they serve burgers and not much else, though it's not necessarily a bad thing - speciality usually produces a superior product. Located South of the train tracks in downtown Del Rio, this burger joint is as understated as you can get - a small little building on the corner with some booths inside and some tables outside; it possesses that greasy atmosphere that lets you know that all diets need to abandon all hope once passing through the door. Upon ordering one of their titular "better burgers", I was presented with a thin, flat patty of no more than 2-3 oz on a plain white bun. The meat was juicy and just a little crispy around the edges - a very nice thing, indeed. Topping the burger was a couple of roma tomato slices and chopped lettuce and onions. A slice of American cheese also adorned my bun. For my side I enjoyed what was possibly the crunchiest onion rings I have ever put in my mouth. I doubt they were homemade, but at the very least they were well-cooked. I wanted to like SBB more than I did - several recommendations from friends combined with the local atmosphere of downtown Del Rio made me excited to find another great local eatery, but when it comes down to it, the product was very ordinary - aside from the adept use of the grill, the burger was more similar to what I would expect to get at a cookout, not a restaurant, right on down to the Wal-Mart napkins they put into your take-out bag. It's good, but I think there are other, better burgers to be had in Del Rio. read more

I had complained that I couldn't find a mom and pop shop for burgers until a friend introduced me to Salas' today. I had driven by it before and wondered if the place was even open, so don't let that deter you! The people taking our orders were so nice and we got our orders (bacon cheeseburgers + fries/onion rings) in way less than 10min despite the crowd! If you're looking for healthy, keep looking... Their burgers and side items are quite greasy! It's all so yummy though!! I'll definitely be back!! read more

I feel previous reviews were a bit harsh. I'm a del rio native and everytime I'm in town I stop by. The burgers are not extraordinary but they are of the freshest ingredients. I came with some of the pickiest eaters and they raved about how great the food was. My favevorite are the fries, they are a fried goodness with mashed potato insides..(drools). In all my years coming here the place hasnt changed much and it is pretty small but finding seating has never been an issue. read more

Salas Better Burger - Burgers Near Me - Del Rio, Texas

Stopped in and grabbed lunch while in a road trip. We picked it from yelp because of the outdoor seating because we were traveling with our pup. The outdoor seating is just one picnic table out front in the parking lot. Now into the food...ordered the #2 which was 2 burgers, 2 fries and 2 drinks. The total was under 15 bucks. The burgers VERY closely resembled TX famous burger chain restaurant in look and taste. The fries are big steak fries, not my personal favorite but that's just a matter of taste. For a quick bite while driving across TX and at a great price Salas fits the bill. read more

Quick review: this place is definitely worth a try. Good food, good service, nice home style atmosphere. Salas can be busy during lunch time. Reasonably priced, good portions. Long review: Let me start out with the actual establishment/employees: it's a nice family owned business with surprisingly good hours of operation. The employees are nice and courteous and, to my liking, very to the point of serving you and getting to the next customer promptly. Food: the food here is quite good and I completely recommend it. The burgers are made after you order it so no McDonald's or Burger King style burgers here. And the fries.....I can't say enough about how AMAZING the fries are. All in all the food is delicious with that home style feel to it. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. The burgers are excellent with plenty of options for sides. I love to go here when I'm hungover for some greasy food. I usually get the jalepeno cheeseburger, and side of cheese stuffed jalapenos (I think they're called jalapeno bombers) - stuffed with cheddar cheese instead of cream cheese. The food is very inexpensive, while the atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. There are only a few tables, and they're relatively small. The place looks like what you would expect from a small, greasy burger joint. read more

I wish I came to Sala's sooner - this place is easy to miss down the road. I always order the hamburger with french fries and it's absolute heaven. Golden Peak tea is also available! Once I got sick from eating here (not sure what happened) but I still continued to eat there and it never happened again. Yes ladies and gentlemen, I got sick and I still ate there. It's that good. Or I'm just insane. Have I mentioned how delicious the french fries are? HAVE THE FRIES! If you don't have any cash on you they allow credit/debit card. Forget the three McDonald's and and two Sonics they have in Del Rio, go to Sala's. read more

Stick with the burgers! We decided to order try the grilled chicken sandwich but it wasn't a hit. The hamburger however is thin, nicely seasoned and tastes similar to In-N-Out. We ordered curly fries which came out nice and hot. The service was fast but didn't lack a friendliness. At an affordable price you can enjoy a quality burger dressed with jalapeños, green onions and more. read more

This came recommend by a guest at the hotel we were staying at. Burger came and fries came out in about 15 min. Good flavor on the burger, curly fries came out warm. I didn't taste a wow factor from the burger, meat was over cooked and curly fries you can tell they came from a frozen bag. Nice little place with a good size menu, but for a place that specializes in burgers, I've had better. read more

Excellent burgers in Del Río TX. Highly recommend a visit if you're in town! Burgers are delicious and made to order!

I ordered ahead of time, a grilled chicken sandwich that is all . 11:40 am, 25 minutes before my lunch. i went ahead and went it was 12:25 my order was not given, stood in line this whole time just so the cashier can tell me, " i'm sorry, i can't find it, we gave it to someone else, would you like to order something,"?? POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE read more

Awesome little burger joint! Cheap, and the burgers are simple and awesome! Super casual. The french fries are homemade, and so good!

Great little burger joint, reminds of Glass Kitchen in Laredo. This Salas place was recommended for a good burger, and it did not let down. The beef patty was packed full of flavor, and the cheese was rich! Their Salas' fries are thick cutting and tasty. Certainly need to get an extra walk in afterwards, but very tasty. Jalapeños extra*** Great job, recommended for anyone traveling by Del Rio, as I was. read more

Before you leave the store check your order cause no one there is paying attention to what they're fucking doing, almost every time I get something there it's messed up in one way or another. HONESTLY HOW STUPID DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO FUCK UP A BURGER I CANT BELIEVE THE LEVEL OF INCOMPETENCE AT WORK HERE read more

I had the junior burger and was pleasantly surprised because it was HUGE. Old fashioned burger and great curly fries. My only complaint would be the people working there looked so unhappy. A smile goes a long way. read more
