The parking lot was like what I remembered but inside was a different layout so I am not sure if it was the same spot. Anyway, prices were very reasonable! When the food came out, we could immediately see it passed the eye test--cheese drizzling, real meat, grilled bun. First bite was excellent--I could taste the grilled bun, the flavor of the burger and even the crisped grilled parts of the meat. All other bites, just the same. Had me audibly saying "yum". On top of that, they offered horchata to drink and it was delicious. The fries weren't only well seasoned but they also had an usual kick of heat. This will be my go-to burger spot when I'm in the Garland area. Thanks for being great and charging fairly!

Lots of drink options from the standard soft drinks, iced tea, fruit drinks and horchata! The service is fast, friendly and helpful! The burgers and fries are the stars. I had the Big House combo (Massive, 3 patties with American cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo and mustard). it includes a drink and fries. Really good fries. There are more reasonable big burgers, but my hunger was unreasonable and I needed a burger that was too big to eat, a knife and fork burger. The flavor was absolutely spot on! I'm guessing each patty was a 1/2 pounder. perfectly caramelized, moist, beefy. Price was VERY reasonable. Yes, no burger was left behind. I did go home and take a long nap afterwards :)

The burgers are consistently delicious. The fries are hand cut. My favorite burgers are the classic and the chili cheeseburger, which is not a big gooy burger you have to eat with a fork but has just the right amount of chili and chili sauce on it and just a delicious flavor. You can pick it up and eat it with your hands. You can either get a seeded bun or a plain one. Everything always tastes fresh and hot.

This unassuming restaurant tucked in a corner of nondescript row of stores has stood the test of time. My first review of the place was in 2013. Here it is 13 years later then it is still going strong. I went for lunch with the family on a snow day. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. No numbers, they just remember who you are. I always get combo number 1 and add sweet potato fries. The prices are great and not much more than McDonalds but the difference in value is significant. The burgers are not thick but this time I noticed the double burger (#2) is just a couple of bucks more than the the single patty in #1. Note to self for next time. Although the patty is thin, the flavors work. The burger comes with lettuce, tomato, onion, and mustard. No ketchup, you add that yourself. The bun with sesame seeds always comes out piping hot. Sweet potato fries are crispy and not greasy. The combo comes with a drink for $10.99. That's a deal. I hope they stay in business another 13 years!

You can't beat the price at $11.08 for a full meal with a drink. Give Burger House a try!

Felt like I was sitting inside a rich friend's house that also had a full bar with beer and liquor. Not to mention a kitchen with chefs serving up my deepest desire. Went with the loco moco fried rice. This was a huge dish that I probably should've shared, but I was on vacation so forgive me! My son ordered the buffalo chicken nuggets and enjoyed them a lot. Large portions so he couldn't finish. He did the Cajun fries too, although he liked them I found the seasoning to be more like takin than Cajun so I only had a few. For a late lunch crowd on a Saturday the service was fast and orders correct. I definitely need to check out their Sacramento/Folsom location asap with the family.

The tables are normal height, meaning for somebody in a power wheelchair like myself, it was a tight fit. They didn't speak english but that's fine and I managed. I got a full meal for 10$. 3 tacos (pick any 3 from their quite big menu options), along with a side of rice and beans, and some onions and lime to add to the tacos. I got a potato and scrambled egg taco, a ham and scrambled egg taco, and a chorizo and scrambled egg taco. The potato and the ham ones were good, although the chorizo wasn't my favorite. It was pretty early so I obviously went breakfast with my choices, but they had a variety of options ranging from barbacoa to chicken. Their creamy hot sauce was really good, although the red sauce was too thin for my taste. I'll be back again to try some of the non-breakfast tacos. Pretty good, authentic tacos that won't break the bank.

My husband and I love trompo tacos, tacos, Mexican food in general but every Mexican restaurant that we've tried near our home has been just okay or not good.

We're very picky about cleanliness in the flavor and when we say cleanliness we mean the ingredients they use and how fresh everything was when you open your meal and that first bite.

When I opened the first container of menudo, I must say I was beyond disappointed- it was mainly liquid with a few pieces of tripe - no hominy at all! Then I reached for the other menudo which looked more full but when I stuck the spoon in to scoop it into a bowl, I hit something hard. With some effort I pulled up what looked like teeth! There was no way I was going to eat any of this. I called and asked why they didn't call me to let me know they didn't have hominy in their menudo especially since I specifically asked for it, and they shouldn't just stick teeth or whatever pig product it was in people's food. It all went into the garbage. After Uber fees etc - I spent over $45 on this garbage that I couldn't eat. I think a report to the health inspector is warranted.
