Came here Sunday morning after a bike ride on the Riverwalk. They're right on the bike path. Plenty of outdoor and indoor space and seems like chill vibes all around. It wasn't too busy when we got there.They have a pretty extensive caffeine menu. I got the churro latte and my wife got the horchata latte. They came in GIANT mugs and was not too sweet so brewed to my liking. Would like to try other drinks in the future.We also got good there at a reasonable price. The burrito bowl was bomb. The al pastor burger was a little too greasy imo but still tasty overall.Service was a bit slow but that's because they only had one wait staff working. She was a champ.

What a fun place for a meal; It's large, and bright & decorated with lots of cutesy stuff. I went for lunch but after the rush so the food didn't take long to come out. The food was beautifully presented. Everyone in my party was pleased with their food . I was bummed to hear that they're turning the place into a sports bar. I hope that it doesn't loose it's quaintness in the transition

While I do like Chef Hernandez's other concepts, this one just doesn't live up to what I've experienced at his other establishments. It is a convenient spot for me to grab a drink when family comes to visit Southtown, but it's outweighed by the lackluster food and all the other restaurant choices within walking distance of Burgerteca. It just doesn't make sense to eat here to me, not to mention management has been fairly rude. Great ambience though.

We had a lunch group of 12 people at this restaurant yesterday. It was my first time eating here. The service was great and superb. Our food came out fast. The decor was on point. They had great seating indoors and patio seating outdoors. This location is great for small get-togethers family or lunch date. They have a delicious menu to choose from and delicious drinks.

Enjoyed the foods, drink, and service Burgerteca provided our group. Our server Valeria was all over it. If we needed it, she got it.In the south of Southtown, there is a place... three places actually, depending on what you're hankerin' for. Burgeteca, Maragarita Garden, and Southtown Coffee are all housed under the same roof. So, you can practically stay here from dusk til dawn. On this particular occasion we went down for burgers or margaritas, but we found both were amazing. I ate the chile con queso burger with sweet potato fries. It was good. Liz took down a carne asada burger without even me getting a bite, so it too must have been good. The queso was delicious, but like all heated quesos... you have to eat it while it's hot, or it will harden - fine for burgers, less so for chips.Before and after food, we all enjoyed a variety of the margarita fare. I started with a pineapple paloma... i could have stayed with this one all afternoon, but I'm an adventurer. I had them make me an off the menu spicy margarita, which was pretty good, I should have stayed with the on the menu selections. The hibiscus blossom was refreshing and the Bee Sting was honey-licious - if you're into honey. All the drinks were unique in taste and presentation.The staff were super friendly, there was plenty of street parking closer to the venue, but not much, so make sure to get there during the off hours to secure close parking.All in all great time at the margarita, burger, coffee joint.

Had to visit based on what was being offered for restaurant week $20 LunchFirst course: Mac and cheese with baconSecond course: BBQ Bacon cheese burgerFried red onions smothers in BBQ sauce Dessert: churrosSandía loca: Titos Vodka Watermelon (keep reading)What's a steal, right?! Mac and cheese w/bacon was cheesy and had bacon for every bite. If you're a bbq sauce fan, expect a finger licking meal (or try to ask for bbq on the side so you could control the amount you'd like in your burger). There was another type sauce on the bottom... a bit sweet but couldn't pinpoint was it was. The churros were perfectly warm, crunchy, but super soft in the center. Unfortunately the drink was not included as their menus had a handwritten $10 on it (I assumed it was the value, but confirmed it was not included with the lunch deal and was an addition $10 charge if we wanted it). Understanding it is still a good cost, and may have been a clerical error when they made the menu. The meal was large and had left overs (but man, I really wanted that drink included lol) Staff was friendly, service was smooth as there were many people. Our server was on point and very professional. The place was clean, and music was popping (but not too loud) $20 was a good value - a very flavorful meal

Great service and atmosphere but food is nothing special.Pros: the bright and colorful restaurant creates a fun and family friendly atmosphere. It's welcoming and fresh. The staff are incredibly kind and helpful. They're friendly and make sure you're taken care of.Cons: the food is ok but it's nothing special. I think the highlight was the mole fries but the mole was a little one note. I was expecting more complexity. The red onion really helped bring it up a notch! The big disappointment was the chile con queso burger. The beef tasted almost unseasoned. I'm not joking I've had more seasoned patties from Whataburger. The queso was a little plastic like and I couldn't detect even a hint of chile. I was hoping for some spicy rich complexity but it really fell flat. The crunchy tortilla chips took away from the burger and only really added a bland somewhat crunch. The toasted bun was nice but I was hoping for more all around.

Amazing burger place. The menu has just the right number of items. The place is clean and I love that the outside area is mostly shaded. The staff is friendly. The food was amazing. Parking can be confusing since the signs say residents and the restaurant, but there are some spots designated for Butgerteca, you just have to pay attention to the painted signs on the street.

My oldest son and his wife came down yesterday to hang out with me for Father's Day. We spent the day going from place to place trying out new breweries, brew pubs, and restaurants. We chose to visit Burgerteca because it was on the Burger Week list. They wanted to eat a couple of the listed burgers at different venues so they could both try them and support the fundraiser.There isn't a lot of parking right at the restaurant, but we got lucky and got one right across the street. That was fortunate, since it was so hot that a hike from parking would have been rough. When we got inside, there weren't any tables available inside. The server told us there would be about a twenty-five minute wait. Fortunately for us, there were exactly four seats available at the bar, so we ordered drinks and settled in for the wait. After a short while she told us that we could eat at the bar, if we wanted. We agreed to do that and ordered our food. About a minute after ordering, the server came back and moved us to a very nice table. The entire restaurant is pretty festive. They have lots of those beautiful Mexican statues. You can't help but feel like you are celebrating something.The food was really good. I had the Oaxaca burger, which was NOT the Burger Week offering. I couldn't settle for a bacon barbecue burger once I saw one with mole negro, black beans, pickled red onions, avocado, and queso fresco. It was a great choice and a great burger. I also ordered some mole french fries. They were amazing.My wife and I both had some of the venue-made ice cream. It was pretty good. They have about ten flavors to choose from. I had Kit-Kat.There were some tables that weren't being used, even though they were super busy. I think it was to make it easier on the two servers who were constantly in motion. This was one of those places where the AC was struggling to keep up. It was hard enough for them to keep up without adding customers. Our particular server seemed to be the boss. She not only greeted customers as they came in, she took orders, served food, helped clean up when guests left, and made drinks at the bar. She was awesome.
