I was excited to order a burger with bacon at this new burger joint. I was bummed when the guy in charge told me they didn't have bacon due to a vendor problem. I ordered a double hamburger with lettuce. Bun was soft and had a mild flavor. Lettuce is fresh and crisp. Beef was nicely seasoned with salt. Pretty good burger. 2nd visit I came by a week later to try a burger with bacon and onion rings. Sadly I was greeted by a for rent sign in the window. I wonder what will occupy this space in the future. read more

Is this place still open? They were closed this past Friday night and their instagram is gone. Previously, I tried their Tasting San Diego cheeseburger which has jalapeño poppers on top. It sounds like something I would really like but unfortunately I found the burger to be dry and pretty bland. The service was very friendly though. read more

Smash and Stack - Tasting San Diego burger - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

With a gaudy color scheme, Smash and Stack has set up in the heart of PB where an empanada vendor used to be located. The suite was redecorated with aliens and pastel pink that you can't miss from the streetside. The business was operating as a mobile food truck for a while before setting up these new digs. Countertop seating was available inside and outside on the sidewalk. There were also a few small tables across from the service counter. The menu featured three kinds of smash cheeseburgers... Single, Double, and Tasting. The last one included chopped jalapeño and two house made sauces. A grilled cheese sandwich and a puppy patty were the other main items. Fries, onion rings, and jalapeno poppers were offered as sides. Two desserts and soft drinks rounded out the menu. I selected a Single which was a quarter pound 80/20 ground beef patty topped with cheddar cheese, grilled onion, lettuce, tomato, and Out of This World sauce. A side of Onion Rings was also a part of my order. While I sat on a stool at a countertop, a worker brought out cups of Out of This World Sauce and Hot Honey Chipotle Mayo for dipping the onion rings that came as a quantity of ten pieces. I liked the chipotle mayo better because of the hot and sweet flavor profile. The burger was served separately in a cardboard dish lined with waxed paper. The edges of the patty were crispy from grilling. I thought it was a good product, but there is a lot of competition along Garnet Ave for Smash and Stack. read more

Place was good! Other than the bun being a bit on the heavier side...the patty was juicy and the loaded fries were outstanding! Chipotle sauce was a def stand out too! read more

Flavor, service, vibes: all 10/10!!! My boyfriend and were looking to grab a bite to eat after the beach. We wanted something good and quick so decided to stop at this place. The pink alien was eye catching so it grabbed our attention! It ended up being a great choice! The burger was made so well and had great flavors. Perfect ratio of ingredients. The owner even brought us 3 different sauces to try with the burger. Great experience, we will be back read more

Had lunch at Smash and Stack today. Found it based on the reviews, and it did not disappoint. I had the Taste San Diego and the softness, combined with the crunchy and the cheesy, was so perfect. I absolutely loved their burger!! I would definitely go here again and highly recommend if you're looking for a good place to eat. Also, their sauces were really good. One more thing, the customer service was exceptional. You can tell that they genuinely appreciate each customer that walks in and they treat you like you are the only person in the room while you're there. Overall just an awesome experience. read more

The universe aligned tonight and guided my friend and I to Smash and Stack. We were walking down Garnet talking about how we were craving a good smash burger, and no more than a minute later we stumbled across this large pink building. We were greeted by Joel and Geraldo, and after a few minutes of chatting we decided to give it a try. The amazing menu options made for one of the hardest decisions in my lifetime, but after some heavy contemplation a decision was made: Tasting San Diego burger with a side of waffle fries. After placing our order, we took a stroll around the premises - beautiful artwork on the walls and a patio with tables out back for some fresh air. I plan on coming back with my computer sometime to work from the patio. Maybe it will make the work days a little more tolerable if I'm catching up on some emails while enjoying a great burger... Anyway, the food arrived and I can genuinely say my socks were blown into outer space. Perfectly toasted bun, great crisp on the patty, and perfectly seasoned fries. The "Out of this World" sauce lived up to its name - whatever they put in that, they're doing something right! I will definitely be back, and can't wait to see this place take off as one of the highest culinary establishments in PB. Keep up the great work, Smash and Stack team! read more

Food and service great. 5 out of 5. 4 out of 5 for table setting, it would have been amazing to sit out back for the meal but there was mad flies. Overall, the burgers, the jalapeño poppers and onion rings were delicious!! Even the sauces, my favorite was the hot honey!!! Would definitely come back again!! read more

We found them outside Las Mujeres Brew House in Logan Heights. We ordered a grilled cheese and the space fries. The sauce that came on the fries and on the side of the grilled cheese is out of this world ;) Think animal fries but cheddar cheese and on top of waffle fries. SO good. Service was impeccable. My son was thrilled with the sticker we were given. I would definitely go out of my way to order from here again. read more

My girlfriend and I planned SaturDATE and we chose this spot to be the first meal of the day. MAJOR HIT! Our service animal was accepted to sit with us and the service we received was "attentive" to say the least! I am a major UFO fan so the interstellar ambiance + the smash burger was everything we could ask for to start the day. The burger was overly enjoyable and the CHIPOTLE MAYO added a flavor punch that was out of this world; pun intended. The owner's cousin Heraldo was there and he was very genuine and welcoming. Will be returning, welcome to Pacific Beach! read more

The Smash and Stack smash burger truck is the latest smashalicious burger in town. Like their logo states, "Just a great burger," which is an under statement because it's a great burger! The double cost $12. Joel uses Brisket and Chuck for the ground beef, and wow, what a delicous and juicy combination! The flavor of the beef was fantastic. The signature sauce is great, and I loved that they toast the buttery brioche bun. You can add items to your smash burger at no extra charge. I added grilled onions, tomatoes, and lettuce. There are no pickles yet, but I hope they are coming. If you're a smashed burger aficionado, you have to check this place out. They offer outside seating with umbrellas. read more

Great burgers. I've only ordered the Tasting San Diego Cheeseburger and I did not need to try any others. The jalapeños poppers take it to the next level. Their sauce, along with the crunchiness, is a great combo. read more

Smash and Stack - Single Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

A random lunch for me as they were parked on 30th. Super friendly and helpful staff/ownership. Really fit a North Park vibe... I see they serve a tiny patty for the pooch friends in the neighborhood. I was hit with a remarkably good burger. The bun (often overlooked by smash style locations) had an amazing texture. I'll try out the grill cheese next round, overall a recommend in my book. read more

This place has great hamburgers, and my kids loved them. The curly fries were also crispy and well seasoned. Service was great. Very quick.

I placed an online order with them on September 18, paying at the time I ordered. I went to the location to pick up my order, and the storefront was closed. I have tried calling, with no response. Fingers crossed my credit union will refund the charge! read more

Absolutely the best burger we have ever had! This is my daughter's favorite place to go on Thursdays and North Park before she goes to her swim team practice.

Smash and Stack - Eating a double!!!! - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

10/10! I'm always on the hunt for a good SMASH burger, this one did NOT disappoint. The bun was so soft and it had a secret sauce that I could not get over. The meat was so buttery and tender it just melted in your mouth. Will absolutely visit again. On top of the burger being delicious, the hospitality was top tier. As soon as we approached the truck we were greeted and felt at home. The owners introduced themselves and were very helpful with the menu. Can't wait to go back! read more

Smash and Stack - The cutest pink truck - Burgers Near Me - San Diego, California

For once in my life I tapped out. I can normally polish off any burger, but this double was so big I gave up with 3 or so bites left to go. I wouldn't necessarily qualify this as a traditional smash burger and that's not a bad thing. I love a good smash burger, but sometimes you want a nice full patty and this bad boy is thicccck. The meat is tender and full of flavor. If you haven't had a chance to try this place, it has my seal of approval and a great addition to the neighborhood. read more

Thinnest burger I've ever had in my life (i know smashburgers are supposed to be thin but this was on another level), it was burnt and no more than 1cm thick. Would not recommend ever. We ordered a few burgers, even a double double, and all patties were barely any meat. The fries were good but overall would not recommend. No ranch either read more

amazing food! exceptional service!! Fun atmosphere!! you can definitely tell in each unique flavor that the chef knows what they are doing!! we left with full bellies and even fuller hearts thanks to the amazing staff. read more

Good burger fries were so so Unfortunately my biggest gripe is inconsistency in their location I have "missed" them 4 times I go to the location when it says open on here, and they're not there. I called before heading over so I won't wast my time and whoever answered said to look at their instagram unfortunately I'm not a a teen anymore so I do not have an IG and the link won't allow until you login, so they've missed my business multiple times, i unfortunately won't ever try again, it should not be too hard to update your website read more

Genuinely THEE best burger I've ever had. The patty is juicy and flavorful, and the toppings taste very fresh. The out of this world sauce was the perfect compliment to the burger. My fiancé and I got a double smash burger, their tasting San Diego burger which has chopped jalapeño poppers inside it and the space fries. Out of the 3, the space fries were by far the standout. A lot of new burger joints that have loaded fries seem to try and copy in-n-out's animal style fries and this is the first place I've been to that outshines them. One thing I will say is that their burgers are absolutely incredible however adding pickles to their base burger would take it into the stratosphere! As for service it could not have been better! It wasn't too busy when we went and we were immediately greeted by the manager who made us feel like automatic friends instead of just customers, and we felt very welcomed. He seemed genuinely interested in getting to know us and introduced us to the other manager and the chef and continued to check in on us throughout our meal. Highly attentive and personally curated service. The ambiance inside is also great, the bright pink exterior definitely makes this place easy to spot and the uniquely decorated inside makes you immediately understand what this company is about and that they're just here to put out great food and great vibes. We will DEFINITELY be coming back and we have already told all our friends and family that they need to come. 10/10! read more

This is my new favorite spot! Such great food, the staff were so nice and friendly, and the decor/ambience is so fun. The portions are also SO generous. We got the double burger, grilled cheese, space fries, onion rings, and jalapeño poppers, and I couldn't pick a favorite bc they were all delicious. They also have a cute back patio. Can't wait to come back! (They also do discounts if you're local!) read more

My boyfriend and I tried this place tonight and not only was it delicious, the owner and staff provided some of the best service I've had (even better than fine dining!). They greeted us at the door, welcomed my dog with big smiles, and even asked us if they could get us something to drink while we were eating. The double smash burger was soooo good, the fries were perfectly seasoned, and the out of this world sauce was so yum I could drink it read more

So yummy. Walked in and was greeted with the most joyous smiles and a positive attitude. Asked how we heard of them, and to be honest the bright pink aesthetic and silly alien graphics was enough to draw us in! We sat outside in the back patio and the music was pleasurable as we waited a short time for our food. Clean and comfortable seating was enjoyable! We only waited a few minutes before our food arrived and it was DELICIOUS! Flavorful and filling, just what we needed for a great day of shopping and beaching! Great experience and great food! read more

First off, I was pumped to hear that a local smash burger food truck was opening up in Bonita. Close to the golf course right in the parking lot of the old La Finca de Adobe restaurant that closed down. More burger spots especially smash style and good ones are needed down south. I was able to go during grand opening weekend and came around lunch time. Lots of parking and the ambiance is like what you'd expect for a food truck. Luckily there was no line when I arrived but all the tables were full. So the kitchen was busy and I had to wait a few minutes before I could place an order. The owner was super nice and apologized for the wait. I order a few of their smash burgers and fries. When the food was ready, I was excited to finally try it. Unfortunately as much as I wanted to love the food, the burgers and fries were a little underwhelming. My thoughts: - I felt the proportions of meat to bun to ingredients to condiments was off. It was a lot of meat which usually is a plus if you care about portions but I think the amount of meat just overpowered everything else. Meat quality was good though! - There were barely any onions on all the burgers I ordered. - The house sauce was bland and tasted too much like straight mayo - Although I did like the flavor of their waffle fries, they were all lukewarm which told me they maybe had been sitting out for a while under a heat lamp that maybe couldn't keep them at a good temp I definitely plan to go back again and hopefully some of this could be that they're still trying to work out the kinks. Regardless it's a plus that there's another food option in Bonita! read more
