    90th Birthday w/Badas Burgers!
    Colleen C.

    I live in San Juan Capistrano, but was throwing a 90th bday party for my Mom in Canyon Lake...Badas Burgers was a Huge Hit! Everyone loved the food & I loved that I didn't need to stress! Service was outstanding & everyone had a good time! Would definitely use them again...they are indeed, "BADAS"!

    I'm not sure how to pronounce Badas Burgers, though I think the name may be missing an "s" - on purpose. One thing's for sure, this place will surely keep you guessing!! We drove out to Santee, not knowing what to expect, but this spot, in scorching weather, bringing to mind the fire-y flames emblazoned on the truck was tip notch! There was shade, around back, soda options in a cooler, and a menu packed with flavor, a full range of options, and all the makings of a fiesta in your mouth! I had their bestselling, double Patty, spicy burger option and boy was it a treat! The flavors were bold, like the glorious bull painted by the flames on the truck, and packed full of flavor with caramelized onions and the perfect helping of melted cheese. The Buffalo chicken fries were downright decadent with a light sour-cream dressing, chives, and crispy, flavorful chicken tenders. Really the best burger I've had in a long time!! Stop by this spot when you're in Santee, they make burgers like no other!!!

    Buffalo Chicken Fries
    Steph L.

    Went here quite a few times as they were conveniently located for me at the time. Tried quite a few different things. I highly recommend to either call in or order online. If you order in person it will take 45 minutes. They work on each order individually from start to finish. They will not take a new order until they have finished their backlog. Half of the wait was waiting in line to order and the other half was waiting for the food. Blue cheese burger - very messy, most of the blue cheese was outside of the burger, not sure if it was only placed on one side? The patty itself was dry and overcooked. Sat like a rock in my stomach after finishing. FYI you can save $2 by asking for just one patty instead of 2 (the standard). Chicken sandwich - unfortunately it was over cooked on multiple occasions. Bun on burgers was nice, wasn't too much and didn't overpower the burger. Fries - standard crispy crinkle cut fries. Buffalo fries - I would pass on these. It was soggy even eating them 5 minutes after getting them. Chicken pieces were also overcooked. Ranch and the buffalo sauce seemed at odds with each other/didn't quite strike the right balance. Ended up throwing these away. Hot burger - it was okay, jalapeños could have been cut a bit smaller. Burger patty was really small and overcooked. Bacon chorizo - these were really good. Skip their burgers and just get this! I will have to say after these a few times it's fairly inconsistent. There was one time I got it and it just tasted like pure flames. It burned my lips and mouth and I could barely eat it Side salad was fine, when they remembered to give you salad dressing...there were times they forgot. Make sure to check your receipt. Also make sure to ask for one! Half the time they didn't give one. They were charging full price for their specials and also didn't discount the burgers when asking for one less patty.

    My husband and I came here on a Friday evening to grab some burgers because the burgers just looks so damn delicious. It's definitely an interesting setup with the food truck but that didn't stop them from making some really good burgers. My husband ordered the blue cheese burger and I ordered the chorizo and bacon fries. My husband loved the burger he ordered and the fries I ordered was really good but a tad salty (but that's my fault- chorizo and bacon are salty). Anywho, definitely would come back here!

    Regular fries

    My hubby and I checked out this food truck and had a hard time finding it because there address was incorrect LOL. Luckily we were only a few blocks away. I ordered the "hot at fork" burger with sweet potato fries and he opted for the Bourbon bacon jam burger with regular fries. The burgers were huge and juicy. There's no place to sit, so we brought our food home to enjoy. My burger came with a brioche bun, half a pound of natural beef patty, iceberg lettuce, tomato, pickled onion, pickled jalapeños, cheddar cheese, and smoked chills arbol aioli. It was pretty spicy, but so good. Both fries were very tasty as well.

    I thought it said Badass Burgers

    My friend said that Badass Burgers was parked over by the original Mary's Donut location in Santee. I had an opportunity to actually stop and grab something before they closed for the evening. The gal asked if was my first visit and she recommended their chicken sandwich. Sounded good. She mentioned leaving the box open as she handed over the to-go bag so the fries wouldn't get soggy. Bonus points for crispy fries with easy access while driving. The kiddos also approved. Tasty sandwich. Marinaded chicken, fresh veggies, and a soft brioche bun. Bacon too? Win! I got a generous serving of iceberg. Felt like a side of wedge salad. In my sandwich. I need more greens in my diet, so that worked out. When we got home I still had a decent amount of fries after the drive while snacking. Check out the chipotle aioli if you get a chance. It has a mellow kick, without an overwhelming spicy finish. Goes great with the sandwich and something to dip the fries. I'm glad she put an extra cup in the bag. I will be back to to Badas Burgers to try an actual burger next time, or as my friend put it, Badass Burgers. I can say the chipotle chicken sandwich is pretty badass.

Pros: I got the half-pound burger with fries and it was really good overall. The burger was super juicy, well-cooked, and had that classic hearty, satisfying taste you want from a solid burger spot. The portion size was generous, especially with the half-pound patty, and the fries were a great side to round out the meal. The location in Pacific Beach is also a big plus. It's in a great area with lots going on, so it's easy to grab food and walk around afterward or make it part of a beach day. The overall vibe of the spot feels casual and fitting for PB--nothing overly fancy, just good comfort food done right. Cons: Since it's in a busy beach area, parking and crowds can be a bit of a challenge depending on the time you go. It's more of a casual grab-and-go or quick dine-in spot, so don't expect a sit-down restaurant experience with a lot of space or quiet seating. During peak beach hours, it can also get pretty busy. Verdict: Overall, Rocky's Burgers is a great spot in Pacific Beach if you're craving a juicy, satisfying burger in a fun beachside area. The half-pound burger and fries hit the spot, and it's a solid choice for a casual meal before or after hanging out in PB.

It was mostly toppings of chopped up bacon, fried onions and veggies. Next were the tots, they were a HUGE portion (which I would've appreciated in the burger) and covered in what I can only imagine was that fake nacho cheese in a can. soggy and disappointing. The tots by themselves were delicious and crispy, but covered in the cheese they end up soggy and falling apart. I guess that's on me though to order cheddar cheese, I should've clarified what kind of cheese it would've been. Service was slow, only one person working the front helping people order, cleaning tables, grabbing condiments and bringing food to the tables. They definitely needed another person there to help out. I watched my burger sit under heat lamps for at least 5+ minutes. I had heard good reviews about this place, so I'm glad I tried it but overall just ehh.
