*** 2025 review #22 *** The rare find of a Perfect Trifecta: big flavor + fresh ingredients + best service with a smile -- deserves 10 stars! We've been chasing UFO burgers at their usual Hollywood location but kept missing them. On this sunny chill Sunday, we were thrilled to finally catch Less Mess Burger parked at Common Space Brewery in Hawthorne. Ruben the owner of Less Mess Burger is the epitome of amazing customer service, with a big smile. We both love their famous UFO burger that is truly out-of-this-world! A table of guys sitting next to us while we were feasting - asked us where we got our cool looking burgers and loaded fries. And they went right away to get their own burgers & fries! I had to get the UFO Inferno Blaze Burger that set my mouth (happily) on fire! LOL! Don't sleep on the chicken bowl. It's so loaded with juicy chicken bites that I had to dig for fries, no complaint tho! read more

Cool concept -- the UFO burger idea is fun and different, which I appreciated. The fries were very delicious and probably the highlight of the meal. That said, I don't think the price matches what you get. It was about $20 for a very thin piece of meat and a small handful of fries. The burger patty was wafer-thin and seemed more filled with condiments than actual meat. For the portion size, $16 would feel more reasonable. It tasted good, but not great. It also needed a little more salt. I wasn't blown away, and I was still hungry afterward -- I literally went home and made tacos. Not trying to slam them -- just being honest. If I were starving and nearby, I might order again, but it's probably not something I'd go out of my way for. read more

If you're in LA and craving a burger experience that's out of this world, you've got to check out Less Mess Burger. Their UFO-style burgers are on another level -- perfectly juicy, packed with flavor, and uniquely crafted so you get the perfect bite every time. I grabbed the bacon and cheese fries on the side, and wow... absolutely addictive. Crispy, cheesy, smoky, and impossible to put down. read more

Let me just say: I've had my fair share of burgers, but this little food truck parked right on the street in Hollywood? It might've just served me one of the most fun and flavorful meals I've had in a while. We came looking for the viral UFO burgers I kept seeing online, and there it was Less Mess Burger, parked on Vine by Trader 's Joe. I orderd the Alien Style Fries, fries loaded with chicken, cheese, and bacon. It was hot, cheesy, crispy, and yes... a total mess but a good mess. I would suggest don't wear white. Then I had the Mushroom UFO Burger that UFO shaped bun was toasted to perfection. The burger was juicy, loaded with sautéed mushrooms, and full of real-deal flavor. You can tell they care about what they're serving even from the back of a truck. But here's what surprised me most: the UFO dessert. Strawberries, bananas, and warm Nutella wrapped in a crispy, golden bun. I wasn't planning on dessert... but I also wasn't planning to finish the entire thing. Parking is street-side and it's a food truck, so don't expect tables and tablecloths. Just grab it hot, eat it curbside, and savor the experience. The vibe is street food but out of this world street food. The truck is very clean and the worker was very nice and friendly. read more

been seeing this viral UFO burger all over my feed and I finally gave in. a burger that doesn't fall apart or drip everywhere?? say no more. Less Mess Burger lives up to the hype: juicy, flavorful & actually stays together. the loaded bacon cheese fries & healthy(ish) chicken bowl are bomb! dreaming about them til now. the lemonade was super refreshing too - perfect pairing with all the savory bites. Less Mess is a food truck so they rotate locations & hours, but if you spot them near you... don't walk, run. read more

I happened to see this food truck on a random afternoon in Burbank, and boy am I glad that I did! I ordered the beef bowl with fries and bacon. The fries were well seasoned and crispy, the bacon wasn't a strip or two; it was chunks of pork belly/bacon - so delicious. The house sauce was a thousand island type of aioli with lots of creaminess and flavor. The beef patty was well seasoned and was paired with a gooey cheese that completely compliments the flavor. The whole thing is topped with cilantro (?) which I wasn't sure about at first, but once I got a taste I understood why it was added and I'm sure you will, too. If you're lucky enough to be around this food truck, do yourself a favor and try them! read more

At the Dana Point Maritime Festival I came upon the Less Mess Burger food truck. With the weather perfect on Sunday, it seemed like a good day for burger at one of the outdoor tables that was set up. I looked at the video that was playing on the truck and the UFO burger (so called because it looks like one) seemed different than an ordinary burger and the sealed in shape, according to the video, locked in the juices. So I ordered a Less Mess Swiss Burger. Sure enough, after a little wait it arrived in a paper bowl, the first burger I've had that was shaped like a UFO. However, when I bit into the burger it wasn't all that juicy and I couldn't taste the Swiss cheese. Rather than be loaded with ingredients, the way I like burgers, it seemed to be light on them. The bun was also bland. The burger definitely delivered on its "less mess" claim. But, as a burger that was indulgent and filled with juicy taste, it really didn't deliver. It was good burger but not a great one. read more

If you're craving a burger in the Hollywood area that's not in m out definitely give this a try. It's right in front of Trader Joe's. The only thing I didn't like was parking, but you could always park at the Trader Joe's parking lot and get your parking validated or buy something there. Burgers were 8/10 for me and good customer service Burgers look like a UFO I think it's cool read more

They've found their niche, and in a social media driven culture, they're running with it. I don't live or work near where they set-up, but they've been on my radar for a bit and with time off for the holidays, I made it a point to finally stop by and check it out. Knowing they're usually busy, I ordered ahead thru their website and I knew what I was getting for the price (Loaded fries and Swiss burger +tax/tip was approx $30); Small businesses don't have the luxury of quantity buying to drop overhead costs, and with everything going too high, just pay or don't, but give em a break because they're just trying to survive like most people. There was no line or customers when I arrived, but since I ordered ahead, my food was ready about two minutes after I got there. The staff was pleasant and everything was packaged and prepared with care. The Swiss burger was good and didn't get anywhere except in my belly, so the UFO worked as intended. I decided to get the loaded bacon fries and while they were just ok, I wouldn't get them again. There was plenty of bacon, but it was room temp or even cold, so it would've been nice if he did it up to get the juice is going to provide a better flavor and the fries also needed to be cooked a little longer, so request your fries be well done. The packing is unique and actually works well to keep any mess down, but the overall flavors didn't stand out where I could rave about it being different than anywhere else. Overall, it was worth the trip, but I wouldn't go as far out of my way again, however, I would go again if it didn't require the mileage. read more

Been seeing them all over social media so I decided to try them out. The food truck is parked next to Ralph's so there is plenty of parking options. They also have two tables outside so you can stand around and eat instead of being in your car or taking it to go. The service was great. The guy was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. He answered all my questions patiently. Now on to the food. I ordered the burger combo which includes a burger (double patty) fries and a drink. The burger was so nice and juicy, probably one of the best burgers iv had in a while. The fries were nicely seasoned and the portion size was really good. All together was a little over $20 which is a good price for their serving sizes. Overall i liked everything and will definitely be back PS: Check their ig for accurate times. I tried to come a few times based on google information but the truck wasn't here read more

We had the inferno burger at a level 5 out of 6. If you love spicy food, GET.THIS.BURGER!!!! It's perfectly spicy and the spice does not compromise the flavor. The enclosed bun allows the flavor to infuse all the components of the burger, which makes it truly unique. The owner is passionate about his craft and absolutely wants you to enjoy his food. Although everything is cooked to order, the food comes out quickly and it's nice and hot and definitely fresh. Can't wait to go back! read more

This truck is parked outside my building all the time on Vine street and I'm gonna come buy food here JUST BECAUSE OF NICO! Thank you!!!!!!!!!

You can say it's a 10 out of 10 UFO Burger experience with less mess Burger.from staff to successfully executing burgers

My boyfriend and I decided to try this viral UFO shaped burger. A food truck located right in front of Ralph's and across the street from a Baskin-Robins. Less Mess Swiss Burger - Good and savory. I expected the burger to be more sealed like a crustable, but maybe it was just my luck today. My burger was more like a smash burger (as shown in my photo). But true to its' name..less mess. Actually, there was no mess even though mine was not sealed all the way! Grilled chicken bowl - We probably did not need to order this, but of course we were ordering with our stomaches. This was packed with a TON of cheese and bacon. Quite heavy, but really good. I like whatever their secret sauce is! Lots of flavor! Overall rating would be 4/5. I would definitely get it again if I am in the area. Total wait time was about 15-20 minutes to get our food. read more

Concept was interesting so I gave it a shot but this did not give me the satisfaction of a burger at all. All I tasted was salt. read more

Not the best experience. Believe it or not, they claim they sell hamburgers. It's the tiniest thing I've ever seen.. It's like a dumpling stuffed in some type of pita with hamburger like ingredients on the inside.. the flavors are definitely not that of a typical American burger. I love Armenian food and kebabs., but I really can't describe the odd taste of this thing. They Charge about $15. For this dumpling/burger.. I understand why there wasn't a single person in line when I arrived at 7 PM read more

Less Mess Burger - Believe it or not, they claim this is a hamburger. - Burgers Near Me - los angeles , California

It's very easy to find, right outside the Trader Joes. Parking is easy because they have that huge underground lot. The food here is really good even though I had no idea what to expect with a bun that is sealed shut. The nice part is your food doesn't get all over the place and you can enjoy it without needing many napkins. I enjoyed the flavor the burger and chicken sandwich. They don't taste like the kind of charbroiled burgers you get in most restaurants but remind me more of something you get from a Mediterranean, Armenian or Persian restaurant. It's worth trying if you like burgers and especially worth trying if you like new things. Plus, you're supporting a small business which is a win-win for me. read more

Good burger. Street parking only. It's like a pita burger almost. The bun was shaped like a UFO. It tastes homemade. Unfortunately they use the 4 oz, I think, smash burger patty. So kinda small. The burger alone was 13. Wouldn't have it again unless I'm doing a pub crawl near by and need protein stat! read more

Incredible under or burger and the fries were the best I've ever eaten, worth the 30 minute drive. Will definitely be back! read more

Less Mess Burger - Ordered the inferno burger. Was the best burger I've ever had! The fries were incredible. Worth the 30 minute drive, would come again! - Burgers Near Me - los angeles , California

It was pouring out and so I was really looking forward to something comforting and special. The burger was small and the compressed UFO style bun robs the bun off its pure essence and fluffiness. The innards were warm and tasty but there was a sweetness that was slightly off putting. I also enjoy the crunch of some crisp lettuce which was absent and not feasible for this type of burger I suppose. The fries were treated with a heavy handed paprika based rub which was undesirable. Overall, no mess, but a less enjoyable burger than I was hoping for. I shall not return read more

I work at the Ralph's across the way and was really skeptical of this place. After getting food there a few times I can say that the food is pretty solid. I really enjoy the chicken fries the most. A really nice layer of cheese, sauce, bacon bits, chicken, all put together over some fries. The thing I like about them the most though is the ratio of meat and such to fries. Most of these sorts of fry dishes leave you with way more fries than everything else so it gets old fast, but I never feel it with these. Pretty cool place. Will continue to order here. Owner is also very friendly, I have never had to wait very long to get my food. read more

i saw this place on tiktok about a week ago and desperately wanted to try it! my boyfriend and i went to their address listed on apple maps -- 1600 vine -- and when we didn't find it realized there that this wasn't a storefront restaurant, but a food truck! i followed them on instagram after that to be able to catch them, and last thursday, we did to another (slight) stroke of bad luck: they were closing up! thankfully, the crew for this food truck were gracious and opened back up just to take our orders when they realized we had come up just for them. we got two of the ufo burgers (double meat) and the beef bowl. the burger was exactly like we expected, but better! the cheese was fully melted into the whole thing, the meat was tender, and the buns were nice and fluffy!! the beef bowl was also so good!! it lived up to the expectations!! they also gave us a housemade lemonade on the house, which was super fresh and not super tart like my usual dislike for lemonade. overall the workers were extremely kind in serving us food even after they'd closed up shop. 10/10 food and service, and i'd 100% come to them again!! read more

Wanted to like this so bag. Saw them featured on instagram I got mine to go and if I was there I would have asked for a refund. I got the chicken slider and asked for no tomato. There was tomato in mine. I also asked if the "special sauce" had a chipotle taste (because I HATE that flavor). The dude working told me it didn't. Well, it does. I took two bites and threw this in the trash. What a waste of money and now I have to go spend more money on something else to eat. read more

I was sitting in my car inside the Ralph's parking lot, and I saw them pulling up behind me. Got out of the car and went to try them out. Thank God I did. Wow, where do I begin. The owners are the most friendliest people I have ever met. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of the food so I can post it, but you all can look them up on Instagram. Whatever you see on the gram, it's exactly the way it is in real life. I had the beef burger and the beef bowl. The burger looks like a UFO, but don't let the size fool you. It's delicious and full of nutrition and other healthy stuff. And oh my god, the beef bowl is so big and full of stuff that no matter how hungry you are,you will be full after eating it. Believe me when I tell you you must try this place.I did not catch their names, but they are super sweet and friendly. Thank you , thank you for your amazing and delightful food. God bless you. read more

Another update! Got to try the food! And the owner remembered my name, was super apologetic and honored the free meal offer.
