Once a burger joint enthusiast, always a burger joint enthusiast. Burger Bar in South San Jose has got me hooked on its food selection. Great stuff and a solid recommendation!
I got myself a Deluxe Cheeseburger ($4), a Taco ($2.30), and a Churro ($2.50). The churro is requested with the jam filling.
The Deluxe Cheeseburger is a burger that has a well-done beef patty topped with lettuce, onions, relish, mayo, and American cheese. Love how every ingredient worked together, without one being too dominant over the other. Very tasty! This is definitely the item to get, and the price is appropriate for the portion size.
Hard tacos are my guilty pleasure food. I can speak on the tacos here being tasty. Same explanation as the cheeseburger: great combination of ingredients and worth it for its size. I can taste the juiciness of the fried beef and the crunch of the tortilla shell is present.
It might not be listed clearly on the menu, but the Churro is a food item you can get here, and I have a lot of great things to say about it. It's crunchy, it's sweet, it's got delicious jam inside, and it made me smile. It was smaller than I had imagined it to be, but it was tasty nonetheless.
Ten minutes for my entire order with only one person in front of me. Good outdoors seating. Friendly staff. Extremely hard to access the parking lot at night for some reason, so come during an afternoon. The parking is a breeze.
If you need yourself a good burger (or a good taco or churro), Burger Bar will satisfy that craving like no other. I am glad I took the time to visit the place while I had the chance to. Sure enough, I can hold these relics of the past to heart knowing they will continue to hold up for decades to come.
