    double burger with bacon onions & thousand island wrapped in lettuce, fries
    Hiroshi S.

    Easy parking, friendly service, clean, old school burger joint with a full grill menu. It was just what I wanted: the burger was exactly what I was hoping for. I originally gave Pharo's three stars... but I am still thinking about that burger 3 hours later, and grateful we didn't go to in-n-out

    One of Alhambras staple American style diners. I've frequently pass by but never had a chance to stop. Pharos open up pretty early, so they are definitely ready to serve up breakfast before work. Nice quiet, with the news playing on the TV. This particular morning I woke up craving a breakfast burrito, it was going to be cold so the situation also calls for a large coffee. I got myself a large coffee (it's about 8 ounces not that big) the combination burrito isn't listed but it contains all 3 meats. Very hearty sized heavy burrito, it's about 7-8inches long about 3inches thick. Very dense. Make sure you get some sauce, I forgot to get some before I left.

    Place very clean. Bathrooms spotless. Parking limited. Covered outdoor parking. Staff very friendly. 5 stars on Customer service. They have 3.75 cash discount. Which is great if you have cash. Highly recommend this spot. Having the hamburger and orange bang. Hamburger quite tasty and worth it.

    Jr cheeseburger

    They make very solid breakfast burrito. Yum. Not too much potatoes (or at least doesn't taste like it's all potatoes). Everything taste really well together & bonus, it's not a messy eat. $10.39 Junior cheeseburger is junior size and comes with onion. It was yummy too, but, onion! $4.99 Fried mushroom is very good. Crispy on the outside and plump. Not too salty or oily. Don't see a lot of places selling this item. $7.99 Small fries is decent amount. Fat fries, typical burger joint. $4.35 They're located in the east-er end of Alhambra so a little far! Otherwise I'd be coming by more often.

    If you're looking for an alternative to In-N-Out, just look across the street. Pharo's Burgers is old school in the very best way: the people here are friendly and will actually talk with you like a neighbor, the regulars come in and the cashier knows their names and orders, the dining room looks vintage but clean, and the food is good and reasonably priced. And you never have to wait in a horrendous car line. Come support this neighborhood joint!

    Breakfast Burrito with Bacon $10.39 (Cash Price)

    What I Ordered: -Breakfast Burrito with Bacon $10.39 -Gyro $9.29 Pro Tip: Pay cash and Save $. If you pay with your card, you'll pay approx. 3.5% more than cash. It is in your best interest to pay cash! This was my first time coming to Pharo's. I read in an article in SFGate about how Pharo's has stayed in business for several years despite be open directly across the street from a very busy In-N-Out. I always love supporting local mom-and-pop joint. I knew I had to give it a shot. I love their unique lighthouse sign as well! I didn't know what to order per usual. I was told that the Breakfast Burritos, Burgers and Gyros are popular. I was bit hungry. I opted to order the Breakfast Burrito with Bacon and the Gyro. The Breakfast Burrito with Bacon was very good and good sized portion for price. The cheese had a nice sharp cheddar taste to it, which was nice. They didn't skimp on the Bacon. My order was too much food even for a big guy like me. I ended up eating the whole Gyro and 1/2 of the Breakfast Burrito. I heated up the Breakfast Burrito the next morning and it still tasted great. This might be my new go-to breakfast burrito spot close to home. The Gyro was good. The tzatziki was good as well. It was stuffed with onions and some tomatoes as well. The pita tasted very soft and fresh. This Gyro is real deal. I don't think you can find a better Gyro anywhere else in the area. I really wanted to try the Fried Mushrooms as that's apparently a bestseller as well. I will have to try a burger as well as they are Pharo's Burgers after all. I always say order the food that's in the name of the restaurant and you can't go wrong. My only complaint is the lack of salsa and hot sauce with the burrito. I'm a newbie to this place. Perhaps, I didn't look in the right place as I'm not one of their regulars who know where to look for it. Other than that, this place is a great no frills kind of joint! I will be back very soon!

    Breakfast burrito + green sauce = happiness I haven't been to Pharo's in years so I can't speak to the customer service, location, or the other food items, but my mom has recently been bringing me their breakfast burritos and they're so good that I've started to crave them. The burrito itself is solid and filling with the perfect ratio of potato, egg, bacon (which I don't feel like they skimp on), and cheese but it's the salsa (specifically the green one) that brings it to the next level. For me, it's the perfect amount of spice--the kind that adds lots of flavor with minimal heat. As someone with a moderate spice tolerance, I would say that it's not even spicy. It's so good, I would drink it straight. Would definitely ask for a second or even third container if you get the burrito--trust me, you'll want more.

    Bill and Tas are the best!! They've been here forever and for good reason. Everything is made fresh! I have to stop myself from getting the zucchini fries everytime I'm in the city. Definitely get Zucchini fries, fried mushrooms and the classic cheeseburger!

    Cheeseburger special 7.84$ including tax. It's a cheeseburger and a small fries and a drink.

    I love this place ! I have been coming here since I was in elementary school with my parents and now my daughter gets to experience the food here too! When I was younger I would share the bacon breakfast burrito with my dad because it's huge! & now I get the pleasure of doing that with my daughter , this morning we got the bacon breakfast burrito and my husband got a small chili cheese fries. Everything was great as always. The burgers are tasty, the fried zucchini is a favorite of mine as well! The owner has always been friendly. They have lots on the menu to try and it doesn't disappoint.

    Sometimes I crave a cheese burger, but don't want to stop by a fast food franchise. This was a perfect time to try Pharo's Burgers. I stopped by on a Friday at around 6:30 pm. There was a parking lot, but it's shared with other businesses. Despite being busy, I was able to order and get my food within 10 minutes. While I didn't eat in the restaurant, I enjoyed the vintage interior while waiting for the food. It really has an old school diner vibe. There were also some benches outside as well. I got the bacon cheese burger with everything and a side order of small chili cheese fries. The burger had a nice char taste to the patty. The bacon had a nice crisp and the tomato and pickles were soaking all the burger juices up! The burger had a good ratio of everything, which balanced the taste. As for the chili cheese fries, there was obviously a lot of cheese and chili. However, it didn't taste overwhelming compared to some other places. Keep in mind the fries will be a bit soggy if you wait a bit before eating. I also think the small size was definitely a lot and shareable for two people. Note: American Express is accepted.

    Have been going here since I was a kid, always a must-have whenever I'm back in town. I'll be honest, I didn't actually know it was called Pharo's BURGERS until recently because we only ever get the gyros, the mushrooms, and a salad haha - all of which are so excellent. Have tried plenty of gyro places elsewhere, but I always come back to this as the standard to meet. And the fried mushrooms are a bit of a craving every once in a while too. Miss the pickled carrots in a bag, not sure if they still have those! Busy with good business, and glad to see it, classic vibe and family owned (I think?) - have been seeing the same faces for years, and they remember too even when it's been a while.

    Taquitos and fried mushrooms are BOMB!

    I was so excited to eat this again I forgot to take pictures both times I went back (back-to-back)…read more I want to update my review to 4.6/5! Genuinely so yummy!! Still not in love with the parking situation but I got the food for takeout both times. It's easier to park at the top during non peak hours (weekdays) or after 8 pm in the plaza. Th first time I went back, I got the combo for 2 (2 sandwiches, 2 chicken gizzard skewers, 6 wings, 2 sodas, and fries), a taiwanese sausage, and an extra chicken sandwich for 3 people. This was so much food and all of it was so good. I will say the Taiwanese sausage was a little small but it was sweet and decent. I probably won't get it again though because I expected it to be a little bigger for the price and it was a little hard. The chicken sandwiches were delicious and super big. The patties themselves were well seasoned (both spicy and non spicy) and huge (sticking out the bun)! The wings were also nice and crunchy. The skewers were also pretty yummy to eat as well. I will say I still don't love the fries as they aren't that seasoned. I even order extra cumin ($.75) and for them to add it to the fries, but they were still pretty plain. I wish they made shake fries or seasoned them better. The second time I went it was already 11 pm and I was happy to see they were opened so late. It's nice to see something opened after 9pm in the SGV. I ordered popcorn chicken, fries, and a sandwich that came out fairly quickly. The popcorn chicken was yummy per usually and my sibling enjoyed the sandwich. I also got regular fries with my free points and although they had pepper seasoning, it was still plain. The fries also weren't that crunchy so I won't order fries from here again. I think they're just not that good here but the chicken is still a go to. Overall, I usually have pleasant experiences at Macho burger and I'm slowly becoming a regular!

    Chicken was very crispy and juicy. Massive burger/sandwich for $10-$11 and they use brioche buns…read more My friends and I ordered online and the food was ready when we arrived. Spicy chicken sandwich and burger, popcorn chicken highly recommended I think I wasn't used to the style of chicken tenders. I'm used to it looking like big fat pieces but it was more skinny and it comes with different flavors too Clean and there were tables to eat inside Nice atmosphere
