    This place was a nice surprise. We decided to have lunch and seen this new burger addition. The burgers bun alone was 5 star. Nice and toasted bun with each bite. I asked for extra mayo, but it came with its own special sweet sauce. Nice size burger we are stuffed! My only compliant is where you order. It's not easy to find a little confusing. We just asked for help, but the food was worth it.

    Single patty cheeseburger combo w/ seasoned shoestring fries.

    Rey TJ Burgers is part of a collaborative indoor food court which it is part of a half-dozen or so other separate eateries (i.e. taqueria, sushi, taco stand, seafood, etc.). Despite being located indoors, my dog was allowed in their food court and it was very clean and comfortable inside. We came during the late lunch time (Thurs 1:45pm) and the dining area during our visit was pretty quiet (less than 15% capacity). I assume it's much busier than this during peak lunch or dinner time. NOTE: Rey TJ Burgers does not sell beverages. But you'll be able to purchase sodas, water, juices, or alcoholic beverages at any of the other eateries right next to RTJB. I had a single patty cheeseburger (minus mayonnaise & pickles) and an order of seasoned shoestring fries. The lady taking my order was nice enough to charge me for a double patty to accommodate a single patty w/ no salt for my dog who was with me. PROS: service was great, dining area was clean, food tasted fresh, prices were reasonable. CONS: I love burgers! I was also hungry so I finished this single patty cheeseburger with no problem. I just didn't think it rated among the best burger spots I frequent. That's no knock on Rey TJ Burgers. It's middle of the pack, would I eat here again, yes. If someone asked me to list my top 5 burger spots in town, would Rey TJ Burger make the list, no. That said, I am happy that new burger spots are opening up and giving choices to us patrons. It's a solid 3++ stars for me.

    I heard about this spot on IG, and everything was looking delicious. I came early for the grand open, and it's a very chill spot, and they have corn hole on the side. I got the double burger with fries, and I was blown away. I'm not a big fan of Thousand Island sauce, but theirs was very tasty!!! The fries were also delicious because they were very well seasoned. I was very impressed with my meal!!! I'll be back for sure!! Thank you, Rey Tj Burgers!!!!

    Double cheeseburger with fries
    Ian B.

    Well we came here with high expectations. It was listed in an article on the top three burger places in Chula Vista, alongside one of our favorites, a stand-by, the Balboa South. So I really came with some high expectations. And they were not approached. The burger was ok. It wasn't awesome and it wasn't horrible. It was ok. I might well say somewhat above average, but not by much. The fries were actually pretty good. The folks were reasonably friendly. If that was all there was to say here I would probably be giving it 3 stars and with some other good notes it might have made 4 stars. But there were enough downsides to take a 3 and push it over the edge to a 2. First off, it was expensive. I won't say that I've never paid $19 (plus tax) for a 1/2lb burger with a dash of fries. I expect that at the Hyatt. Or the Parc. I just don't expect it in an open air on a picnic table with a walk up order next to a parking lot. Our picnic table was not clean when we sat. Not normally great sin at a place with open air picnic tables, but it was only 5:30 and the place was empty except for 2-3 staff, so this wasn't dealt with before we got there because? If there was a usable bathroom, nearby my wife wasn't directed to it to wash her hands. Instead it was washbasin, without soap, emphasizing the somewhat sketch level of cleanliness throughout. The best seating in the place also happens to be right by the entrance, right by the parking lot. That particular evening saw a series of about seven to ten V8 Mustangs slowly backing and filling in front of the entrance dumping exhaust gasses onto the front table--ours. The disappointing thing is that there was no response by the staff, so I assume this happens a lot. A lot more often than I would want to face in the future. I've got no issue with a cheap, good hamburger joint being a cash only place. But at $19 for an average cheeseburger not accepting credit cards seemed shocking. Minor, I know, but I can't remember the last time I paid $19 for a cheeseburger and couldn't buy a beer. So we left unfulfilled. It started at average and worked its way down. Too bad.

    The best burger and fries ever

    There is a part of me that doesnt want to write this review. That part comes from the greedy desire to keep this place my secret. With that said, HOLY SHIT this burger slaps! Best burger I have ever had. Ordered the double cheeseburger with bacon and onion. Presentation: 10/10 Taste: 11/10 Price: 9/10 Overall satisfaction 11/10 Geeezus H I want another one asap Ughhh I hope they prosper, but I guess ill wait in long lines. It will happen. Ordering in this food hall type space can be a touch confusing, but now that I know, im good to go for my next visit. Thank you for existing

    It's a small Mexican burger place with a few big and small tables. They accept Cash only, you can do Zelle or Venmo too. The burger is pretty good; the beef patty is fresh, tender, and juicy. The fries are good as well; not oily nor salty, just crispy right amount. They have some sodas and juice. The watermelon & strawberry juice is good. I will come back again.

    BBQ Brisket Burger

    Burger super juicy and gourmet. The meat was definitely fresh and all ingredients that structured this burger. Great place to have a drink enjoy a burger and watch your favorite sports with friends and family. Great service specially when it comes to placing your order.

    The burger was made fresh on the spot flavor was amazing I was quite happy with the portion size everything about it was spot on and to top it off the costumer service was great

    Bacon Onion Burger
    Sydney B.

    New favorite burger spot! Had the Nachos, bacon onion burger and fresh fruit drink. Burger was to die for, the sauce is tangy and delicious with the onions cooked perfectly on a toasted bun. Fresh fruit drink was a definite repeat! Our child loved the nachos(no jalapeño). We will definitely be returning

    1 single burger , 1 double burger with bacon added, and a  watermelon strawberry agua frescas.

    1st time trying this spot and everything was very delicious/tasty. Haven't had a burger that tasted this good since I moved here to SD. Meat was very juicy and the bread was grilled with a little crisp on the edges which gave it a great texture! The fries were crispy which I loved. I also enjoyed the Watermelon with strawberry Agua fresca. This place will definitely have much more business coming to them once more people find out of them. Owners were very nice and welcoming. We will be coming back!! Very relaxed ambiance and accessible parking.

    Rolled south to Rey Tj Burger's on Main Street in Chula Vista with my sultry shawty yesterday for a couple of the tastiest cheeseburgers around. This outdoor joint provides a friendly welcoming vibe, solid tunes and comfortable seating. Ample parking with an easy walk up to order situation. Relax, take a chair and quickly brought to your table are fresh, savory, juicy hot plates of heaven with all the trimmings. Fresh crispy condiments are well balanced with perfectly crafted patties and topped with abundant cheese between pillowy buns that will cause true burger bliss to rain down upon all your senses. French fries are fire. Sporting a huge watermelon grin, my gorgeous girl devoured her sandwich in short order with sincere gusto....Oh boy, a sure winner without any doubt. Outstanding, efficient, and thoughtful service is provided by team familia Rey which elevates this dining experience to the next level. Special place with a load of love this is. I highly recommend Rey Tj Burger's for locals, visitors or anyone hankering for a satisfying solid meal. Stoner Grub Rank: 9.0

    This placed was really hyped up on instagram so figured I'd give it a shot at the new Broadway location. Wanted to try the brisket burger but they were out so got the onion burger. I don't know if they dipped the burger in grease before serving it but damn!! It was dripping grease or butter or something. The bun was saturated in whatever liquid was oozing out of the burger. I could only eat half of it. The picture shows part of what dropped out of the burger that wasn't soaked up by napkins. The bacon was also not cooked. For the price approx $20 and the size and the flavor this burger spot is not it.

    What a wonderful establishment! It truly was the best burger I've ever had.
    Tamara M.

    The food was delicious! Possibly the best burger I've ever had. The service was on point. The vibe was great too. They had music playing and lights strung throughout the patio area. Even down to their "bamboo" plates. I will definitely eat here again when in the area.

    I wish I could give zero stars, which I don't like doing but what happened here is inexcusable!…read more Through their automated system, we ordered the hamburger kid's meal. We paid for it (on the right side of the car and left - no waiting. Mom can't eat while riding in the car, so she waited until we arrived at the vet's office. She opened her burger, only to find cheese on it. Since she can't stomach milk, I tried to call the phone number on the receipt to resolve their mistake. Unfortunately, whatever mailbox was full and/or I couldn't leave a message. So now she has to wait until the vet appointment was done before we could go back. This is when I really started to get angry. We used the same line as before, and there were two cars ahead of us. Instead of talking to the automated "lady" again, we just pulled up behind the last car. We waited, and waited, and waited - 20 minutes (at least) until we were at the window. We watched the employee take one walk up person after another, after another, while we waited watched her without even acknowledging our presence. She took three people, plus exchange quarters for dollars. Well, I guess that's where the one star can go. When we finally had her attention, I had to interrupt her as she listed the order from the car behind us. I alerted her to the problem and she apologized and took the whole bag from my mom. When I realized I told her the wrong toppings and got her attention to tell her. That's when I got a dirty look. I understand under pressure and I was the one who made the mistake so that one I'll let slide. Then when we were only handed a burger only, I got her attention again, to let her know there were fries in the bag she took and didn't look into. Then I got another dirty look. That one took it too far. It could be that someone called in, quit, or the other person was new to the job. That said, management needs to learn how to handle whatever staff issues are going on because the average customer simply doesn't care (even though they should!); they want their food in a reasonable amount of time for "fast" food. This visit didn't qualify.

The order arrived within minutes. When I received all of the food, I noticed that neither myself nor my family member got any Cane's sauce. Why would they not place it in there in case someone liked the sauce? In this case, neither my family member or myself liked the sauce, but it's the principle of the fact we may have liked it and it was not in either of our boxes. I ordered a four-piece chicken strip, two coleslaws, and bread for my family member. And, just two chicken strips and a coke slaw for me. When I opened my box, I noticed I received the smallest chicken strips. Whoever was placing the chicken in the box did not seem to be detailed or mindful if I got the biggest pieces. They did not take the time to place the meatiest chicken pieces in my box. I have no idea why. It was pretty disappointing and annoying. Hopefully, when reading this review, positive improvements can happen. I did, however notice they took pride in keeping the place clean and they were very friendly. I never come here because I enjoy grilled chicken and stay focused on a healthy diet, but tonight since I was picking up the food for my Dad and I had not eaten yet, I decided to order two chicken strips and eat it here quickly. It did not hit the spot, but then again I am not surprised because I don't order deep-fried chicken. I did like the coleslaw however, and I enjoy their toast, but did not order any for myself tonight.

We pull up to the drive thru and are met with a teen saying, "yeah, we have that going on but the people at the window can help you." So, we ordered 1 box combo and 1 box combo free. We get to the window and another "teen" says, "I don't know how to do that." So, she gets the lead or whoever they have. She comes back and says, "yeah, sorry I don't know how to help you with that and I just know you need the card for that." Our response was, "seriously?! The teen back at the order station said you would help us. We waited in line just to be told sorry it's full price for the 2 box combos." Long story short, we left. I've worked in the food industry and the branch manager or store manager needs to do better. You hire teens who are rude, disrespectful, and clueless. I know you're probably just collecting your check but that's poor management. Do better. There's a reason why so many other reviews are similar to this review. My spouse was really looking forward to having a free box combo on Mother's Day and you screwed it up. I'd advise anyone reading this please go to another location with staff who actually care. Don't support this location. In a world where most people are rude... you don't want clueless teens being rude as well.
