The Mish Mash space in Barrio Logan has been turned into a burger shop. Barrio Burger has been open for less than two weeks on the SE corner of Newton Ave and Beardsley St. The latter road was directly off the exit from I-5 South which made it a convenient straight shot from the highway. Parking was all curbside in this neighborhood which may feel uncomfortable after sunset as it's not a well lit block.
There was some outdoor seating on the front patio with a countertop bar and about five small tables inside. On the menu screen, three burgers, three sides, two salads, and four snacks were the food offerings. Bottled or fountain drinks and three kinds of milkshakes made up the beverage choices. La Trompuda was the first burger listed which I chose. Al pastor pork, mixed cheese, grilled pineapple, red onion, and guacamole were the ingredients. It was topped off with a bacon-wrapped, cheese-filled serrano pepper.
I definitely had never tried a pork burger dressed this way before. The cheese was prominent while the pineapple was less so. The pork was cut into small pieces as opposed to a patty. That made some of the meat fall out while I was eating the burger. The serrano pepper was not spicy at all. The bacon and cheese on the pepper made it an unusual garnishment. I also ordered onion rings as a side. It came as six rings that were fried well. The service was pleasant as they were not busy at all during my visit.
