We headed here for burger week to try out the El Caliente burger. The price was great as well as the size of the burger. I was disappointed however, there was very little jalapeños and onion. I never got a spicy bite. The burgers were juicy but lacking in flavor. The tots were amazing, the seasoning they put on them was great! The staff wasn’t rude but wasn’t very welcoming either. Overall, sadly to say, it was a mediocre experience.

We brought my mother in law for a bite to eat here on the establishment. It had two names for the restaurant “papa’s burgers” and “The Good News”. We didn’t know which door to walk in. It’s the same place and doesn’t matter which door you walk in. The parking lot is rough. It’s not completely paved and has caliche pavement. The place in side in nice, but it was a little humid. For payment they except Cash App and have an ATM.

Best burger I’ve had in San Antonio so far. The toasted bun on both sides is a great technique to really make the bugers stand out. I had the mushroom and onion burger and it was outstanding! And the tots were crispy and delicious!

Real good. Bun are nice and toasted. Bacon was crispy. Patties had good taste. Crinkled fries were real good.

What a great Yelp find! I love mom & pop restaurants. We came for a very late lunch so it wasn’t busy. The woman at the counter was very friendly & helpful. We got the Original & the bacon cheese burger with fries. It took about 15minutes to get our food which is pretty fast for a 1/3# burger w lots of toppings. They were delivered hot to our table with a smile. Both burgers were outstanding. Thet came on a homemade bakery style bun that was toasted to perfection. The bacon was just a little less than crisp (perfect in our book). Jalapeños were the right spice & the tomatoes were very crisp & fresh. The only down side is that I added avocados, so I expected it to come with avocado slices. Instead it came with a light layer of avocado smash. For someone who LOVES avocado, that was a bit disappointing. The fries more than made up for that though. Big, fat, hot crispy crinkle fries with a dusting of salt & pepper. Sooo good! My only other disappointment was that they didn’t have diet coke, just coke & Dr Pepper. The small disappointments are greatly outweighed by the highlights of the place. I highly recommend it & will definitely go back for more!

Don’t eat here, this place doesn’t give you any quality for the price you pay. I ordered a pork sandwitch, and it was absolutely the worst sandwitch I’ve ever seen and ever tasted. The pork sandwitch was dry and had very little meat. The meat that was on the sandwitch was so chewy that I literally had trouble bitting thhrough the meat. I finally got through the meet and the flavor tasted like it was frozen meat. The flavor and the texture. The onion rings were really greasy and oily. The oil seemed to have soaked into the batter a bit. This leads me to believe that the oil their fryer was not brought up to correct temperatures.

This is a very good place to eat for burgers. It’s ranked #4 in the U.S. and #1 in San Antonio believe it or not. This place does crowded quickly and sometimes you will have a long wait. Luckily with this Covid-19 going on, I was able to go early and get my order within 15 minutes. Everything is cooked and seasoned very well. The bun is toasted top and bottom and the bun has a sweet taste as well. It’s better than your normal burger place for sure. Check the menu for other items. It’s not too expensive but either way it’s worth the drive,time and money. Only thing missing is some fried pickles and a ice cream shake. A+ rating!!!

Stopped in for lunch. Ordered the #2. A little pricy, but what isn’t today? The burger was fresh and hot. The fries were crispy and seasoned. The burger comes with fresh cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion. You add your own mustard, ketchup and mayo. The burger was good. The bun had a sweetness to it that some may like. Others not. Interesting with ok flavor. Fountain drinks with free refills. They even have Hawaiian punch! Note: this is a cash only business. However, they do have a no charge atm.
