Genna SpeedJuly 26, 2015The porky burger was delicious, but seating can be a bear.1 person will try to claim 8 seats. Go when it's cooler out so you don't have to deal with the seating shenanigans. Mango margaritas are yummy
I been eating here since it was a lil taco stand and still think its the best burgers in town !they are big and made to order and of u ask for the veggies on the side they do have ranch if u ask
SelenaOctober 23, 2014Chris Madrid's Bean Tostado Burger is my go to and has been since I was a tiny tot. SAN ANTONIO BEST BURGER!
A macho flaming jalapeño is my burger of choice here and I promise that no matter what u settle on it is sure to please. Eat outside on a spring day and life just seems to taste that much sweeter!!
Daniel BlakeJanuary 15, 2018Got my favorite, the Macho sized Tostada burger... a san antonio original bean burger with meat patty and smothered in cheese
Megan KaiserApril 4, 2015Super fast service, friendly, clean... GOOD EATS!!!! If you are looking for a burger joint this is the place. :D Can't wait to come again.
Raven Carrington 🔫August 19, 2015The macho cheesy is my favorite! I was first here in 1982 and I was so hungry I actually ate TWO of these giant cheesy macho burgers!
Everything food is very yummy! Burgers are the best even though they should add onion rings to their menu....
Meagan CummingsJune 11, 2012Make sure to find the front door. If you go in the side door, the employees will sit on their butts and watch you look around the room lost, until you find the room where you order from.
Ginormous hamburgers. The regular size is more than enough. They also like to push the melted cheese on you.
Serious EatsJuly 30, 2013Chris Madrid's excellent thin-pattied burgers are the stuff of cheeseburger legend.
Art Gomez TagleSeptember 8, 2015Porky bacon Burger was amazing and the fries are just okay. Must get a burger here, make it macho.
Sol SalamancaSeptember 25, 2011you HAVE to try this burgers... they're in the category of one of the 15 burgers to try before die... those words explain everything!!
There's only one thing to eat here, the Macho Jalapeño Cheddar Burger! If you don't try it you're cheating your taste buds!
Adina SanchezJuly 13, 2010Tostada Burger is delightfully delicious. FYI: Their homemade salsa is a little watery so you may want to drain some of it before adding it to the burger as it will make the bun kinda soggy.
Roy Eckhardt Jr.December 4, 2015The cheese burger is humongous, get a fork and a knife. You are gonna need it.
Order tostada burger. Go to bar and order mango margarita. Sit on patio. Sit back and reflect on how awesome life is.
