17 Phoenix Restaurants With Fantastic Burgers

"Terry Bortin (husband and business partner to America Corrales of America’s Taco Shop) partnered up with his brother Randy to open this airy, upscale burger restaurant downtown. As the restaurant’s name suggests, burgers and beer are specialties here, although the menu features appetizers, salads, and tortas as well. There are 10 burgers from which to choose, all of them half-pounders fashioned from Angus beef and served on a Noble brioche bun. The Señor Al Pastor is terrific — a patty composed of chuck and ground pork amped up with a pastor marinade, which lends the citrusy notes characteristic of al pastor. The burger is then garnished with grilled pineapple, guacamole, white onion, lettuce, cilantro, and chile de arbol salsa. For something more savory but no less delicious, try the chorizo burger (combining chuck and Schreiner’s chorizo), topped with smashed tots, roasted poblano, white onion, mustard, lettuce, and pepper jack cheese. Pay $3 extra for a side of wispy-crispy onion strings." - Nikki Buchanan
