This is their current location, but I don't think it's their permanent place of business. Just for the time being. Google maps will take you to a parking lot entrance that's closed, blocked by a chain, so make sure you enter the parking lot on Locust Street. I ordered online, and the wait time was a bit long (20+ minutes) but not terrible. And once you arrive, there's a sign near the parking lot directing you to walk down an alley-like path. No signs at the door, just a dumpster outside. Yup, that's where you pick up. It feels like you're walking through the back door of a restaurant kitchen. Actually when you step inside, it indeed IS the kitchen which doubles as a pickup spot (no seats, no signs, I just showed the guy my order on my phone and he handed me my food packed neatly in a paper bag). I got the perro loco which comes with fries on the side, and an arepa with cheese. I didn't like that customers can't customize items when ordering online for pick up. Also wasn't a fan of the pineapple sauce, though I think that's one of the things they're known for. But the hot dog was still good, generous with the toppings and certainly unique. The sausage was plump and juicy with a mild flavor. The fries were delicious as well, and didn't taste cheap. And the mini arepa with cheese was buttery and had a nice texture. Altogether it made for a filling meal.

The menu is extensive with a mix of options (including a vegetarian burger). I ordered El Apto which came with a beef patty, bacon, shredded chicken, lettuce, tomato...all between a brioche bun. This came with fries and a side of pineapple sauce and apto sauce. I dipped my fries in the apto sauce and it was so good! The pineapple sauce goes well in the burger and also on the fries. The beef patty was perfectly seasoned and so juicy. All the flavors were amazing and tasted so fresh. I loved the crispy bacon and the shredded chicken. The chicken was well flavored and they put an ample amount on top of the burger. Wow! What a great combo. I also tried the maracuya (passion fruit) drink and it was so good! I like that it wasn't too sweet. It's fresh and refreshing. They are pretty busy because it's their opening so there might be a wait but it's totally worth it. There are tables around for you to sit so it's casual. The owner is so nice and you can tell he is very proud of his food. Highly recommend!!

It was delicious and even though we were full the food didn't feel heavy. Even the location is small and you can miss it while on the main road. The inside can hold up to about 20 - 30 people. Not a big place, but you can bring a group of friends here for quick bite to eat.

I've driven past ini Burger for a while now but never stopped in--until recently. I was craving a…read moreburger and honestly bored with my usual spots, so I decided to give it a try. First impression: clean, which already puts them ahead of a lot of places. I went about an hour before lunch, so I had the place to myself. Ordering was simple with the kiosks, but if you prefer talking to an actual human, that's an option too (always appreciated). I went with the two mini burger option so I could try more than one. I ordered the Classic Americano (Angus beef, ini sauce, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions) and the Hawaiian Spice (Angus beef, spicy ini sauce, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, pineapple, jalapeño), plus fries/onion rings and a drink. Let me just say--the Hawaiian Spice was hands down the winner. It was so good that I already know next time (and yes, there will be a next time), I'm going straight for the full-size version. They also offer wings and salads, which is a nice bonus if you're not in a burger mood. If you haven't tried ini Burger yet... what exactly are you waiting for?

The hostess was very friendly and showed us to our table. We had a table inside, which was an intimate upscale casual area with a bar. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms for a starter. It was so hard to pick one because everything on the menu sounds so good. Alas, I have a small appetite. The mushrooms were very tasty and a nice start to our meal. For entrees, we had the halibut and prime filet with a side of broccolini. Everything was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Drinks are on the pricey side- I had a Hero Old Fashioned and the Taylor Made, $20 each. They were nicely crafted, so worth the price. They brought out a Carmel Popcorn Sundae for my husband's birthday and even gave him a birthday card which I thought was a nice touch. Service was slow and steady. We had ample time to enjoy our food without feeling rushed, but never felt like our server forgot about us. We spent about 2 hours for dinner. Probably not a place to go if you're in a hurry. I'm eager to return and try some more of the starters. It's the kind of place I'd love to take out of town guests - high quality fine dining in a casual and relaxed environment.

Great attention to detail, and asked questions that helped make our dinner special. The food was good, especially the beet salad for me really stood out. I love beet salads and the ones with no frill, so I asked to take the cheese and dill out. I heard the other salads were as great so am excited to come the next time! But the no corkage fee and really fair pricing on their wine is really appreciated and almost unimaginable. The bday boy loved his entree of butter noodles and ordered it twice. He also finished a side of chicken tenders. He thought they were so good and saved one piece for his sleeping sister (the next day she asked for seconds!) Ambiance is suitable for a date night and the fancy Saratoga downtown. But I didn't feel too out of place with two kids either. Overall, great experience!
