This meal satisfied my hunger well! I left extremely happy! The burger itself was made to perfection, every bite was amazing. I haven’t had a burger that tasted this good in such a long time. I almost went back for ten more! I couldn’t get enough of it! The ketchup was so tasty and complimented the burger perfectly. I will be returning regularly for this excellent meal. Thank you all for crafting an amazing burger!

Best burger in the greater Los Angeles area right now. I got the Smashie combo and added the pasilla rings. The burger is perfectly cooked. I especially like the sesame seed bun. And the pasilla rings are a revelation... Kinda like spicy onion rings, but so much better. You gotta get em.

I can't believe there aren't more reviews for SolRád. A few months back I was at Blvd Market and my kid ended up getting a burger from here, I took a bite and it was really good, so this time while I was back I decided to grab a burger for myself. I must say, it's one of the best burgers I've had in a while, the pickles are perfection, slighty pickled cucumbers that just compliment the classic burger so well. The fries are great as is their pasilla rings, and the dip they give with the rings, *chefs kiss*

The breakfast barbacoa burrito was delicious. I'm sad to hear that it's their last day at this location. I'm happy that I got to try their food. I'm wishing this restaurant the best of luck on their new journey. I hope I find you guys again soon.

The burgers are so good. It's probably the best burger I've ever had. Also, the breakfast is amazing. It's definitely worth a try.

One of the vendors at BLVD. I ordered the breakfast burger. I expected them to whip it out real quick but it took 15 minutes. So it tells you that they make everything to order. One of the better burgers that I have had recently. Price is a big high but definitely justified.

Stop what you're doing. Do a good thing for yourself and order some beer battered pasilla rings. Cooked perfectly with a tiny kick, this sharable dish will make your day. I came for Vchos, but couldn't resist this dish and now I'm hooked. I'll definitely be back to sample the rest of the menu.

TL;DR: Tasty burger, but slow service. Yearning for more? 1/2 Ordered a Smashie burger with fries and thought it was pretty good. The fries taste kind of like the ones from In n Out, but crispier. Next time I'll have to try one of their specialty fries. The quality of everything tasted good, my only complaint was that it tasted like it had been sitting for a bit (the bun). The bun had been toasted but wasn't warm by the time I took a bite. They offer impossible burger patties and also serve breakfast burritos on Saturdays and Sundays from 11AM-3PM. Going to try to make it back here to try that burrito out! Expenses: 0/1 Burger and fries came out to about 15 bucks, which is sadly the standard nowadays in LA. Despite the overall good quality of the ingredients, the meal wasn't worth the price on this visit, unfortunately. The food took about 25 minutes to come out, and when it did the bun wasn't even lukewarm.` Location: 1/1 Thought this was in a cool area. Several options for outdoor seating and it is located in small outdoor food court with other options. I noticed a pupusa spot as well. There was free public parking about half a block away (good for two hours). There is also a small cafe right next door if you like a coffee after your meals. Only thing to keep in mind is that you may need to wait a bit, they didn't seem to have a very efficient system in place. May not be an ideal spot for a quick lunch. Tables and floor were clean for the most part. They also have a handicap accessible dining area in the front. They had a sign that says they are cashless here. Be prepared to pay with card. Staff was polite. Possibility of a Future Visit & Recommendation: 1/1 I definitely want to come back. The burger and fries were good quality, just had a few hiccups (it happens). I want to try their specialty fries and breakfast burrito.

Love that there's a new spot at BLVD Market! Sad that it took the place of the now closed Nola Cajun, but this menu looks unique and I'm excited for it to come to Montebello. This is a review just for the breakfast burritos. I came on a Saturday around 11:30 AM and ordered 1 bacon and 1 chorizo burrito and a Besitos drink. I didn't need to wait in line to order but apparently the kitchen was slammed. I waited for about 20 minutes to get my order then went home. When I got home, I realized I was given a rajas burrito instead of bacon. It was a fairly pricey burrito and I had waited so long, so I decided to go back to get what I had ordered. I called to let them know the problem and I was coming back soon. They had the bacon one ready for me pretty quickly and let me keep the rajas one! Which meant I got to try all 3. This was a very good breakfast burrito. For starters, the portion size is pretty generous and I was satisfied after eating it. It's unique in that you can taste the freshness of the tortilla and egg. They talk about them being locally sourced and it's obvious it was. The beans add a nice heartiness to it and the caramelized onions add some different sweetness that I wouldn't expect from a breakfast burrito. Their salsa is bomb and I felt one container of it was enough for one burrito, although I may not have minded 2. Bacon by far was the best. The chorizo and rajas didn't add much to the flavor and sort of just existed. Additionally, that Besitos drink is special. There's definitely a spicy kick to it. I appreciate this different option because I looked it up online and it seems the only place people know to get it is at Vallerta (meaning can't get it online). This place is still new and definitely has some kinks to work out, but I believe it has a lot of promise. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!

It is so rare that I actually get around to yelping the same day I visit a place, but had to come on here to tell u to RUN DO NOT WALK to get you some pasilla rings!!!!!! Omg soooo incredibly amazing!!!! We went back for seconds they were so good. The business is inside of BLVD Montebello, super chill vibe, good service, u can't lose!! Wanted to try the quesa-burger but went with a group and we just got sides/apps type stuff to share, will b back to try that quesa-burger!

Came in today after work looking a mess. It was a rough day but this burger seemed to hit the spot and an ice cold beer at alchemy i think that's what it's called I ordered their simple burger. And wow it was nothing simple. This place has house made pickles, they were not your average pickles. Nice touch and the chilitos were spicy and crunchy. The bun was sesame. Each burger comes w these nicely seasoned mojos. Omg the ketchup was tasty and spicy. The customer service was nice. They were apologetic about giving someone my burger. But I waited only an additional 2 minutes. Great smash burger for $15 w fries and house made pickles It's a steal

The newest gem added to BLVD MRKT, SolRad is an absolute creative masterpiece led by native Angeleno, Chef Teo Montoya. Inspired by his childhood upbringing living in Southern California, SolRad's menu and brand brings elements of Chicano culture, mixed with Baja California ingredients, and Southern California Diner food. Eating one of Chef Montoya's Smashie burgers with a side of mojo potatoes will immediately take transport you to an imaginary world in the 70s where you'd pull up to an InNout in a champagne colored Chevy Impala convertible. Even though SolRad operates in a small kitchen, Chef Montoya has managed to pack MASSIVE flavor into all of his food. Everything in scratch made, from his burger Pattie's, all the way to his tomato ketchup. Each dish has a custom artisan feel to it. One of my favorite dishes is his Pasilla rings, Chef Montoya's twist on a classic diner favorite, the Onion Ring. The flavor of it is a cross between fried zucchini fries and beer battered onion rings, a dish you def don't want to miss. In addition to amazing food, where SolRad really stands out is in their amazing customer service and brand promise. Justin, one of the business partners manages one of the best bars in the world, Death & Co. Justin believes in delivering the best experience to his guests and you'll often find him hand delivering food to guests and chatting with them about the food. Such a stand out experience. This place is so authentically Cali diner that I wouldn't be surprised if they had a secret menu also.

We loved the customer service, the lady that took our order was very nice. Ordered two of their burgers ( #1 & #2) a slice of their cheesecake, and two mango con chile sodas. We got the food to go, when we opened our food everything looked good but my first thought was "damn these burgers look very small". I tried them and omg I fell in love Super delicious I really loved them and the mojos were perfectly seasoned. Now I know that I prefer a slightly smaller burger that is delicious than a bigger one that is The cheesecake was really good too it has bacon if you like the contrast of sweet and savory you're going to like it. (The crust was a little burnt for my liking) The mango sodas are good they definitely have a kick to it) Overall it was amazing I 100% recommend it.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST BURGER IVE EVER HAD. Found this place on accident since I was in the area and damn been craving to come back. Too bad I live about an hour away! Fuuuh

I keep forgetting to take photos but everything's so good! The literal best mojos I've had + their pasilla rings are insane. The burgers are always on point too, but their cobb salad is also perfect when I want something a little lighter.

Went here yesterday for the first time to support an old friend and as always, the food was delicious! I got the quesaburger and my husband got the smash burger. The ratio of burger to bun was perfect! And speaking of the buns, they were so soft and complemented the burger so well. I really enjoyed the pickled jalapeños on my burger. My husband gave me one of the pickles from his burger and I was a bit jealous because it was so good! The potatoes had an amazing seasoning and went well with the homemade ketchup. We also shared an elote, which was packed with flavor. All of this paired nicely with a beer from the tasting room. I might be slightly biased in terms of the service but considering how busy it was, the team was on top of it and serving customers with a friendly smile The dining area is great for summertime lounging. I've never been to Montebello and it's a super cute area! We definitely will be back.

Best breakfast burrito I've had in a minute! Ordered the bacon con queso and it was absolutely delicious. Perfect amount of filling. Green salsa on the side was fresh and complemented the burrito so well. The flour tortilla *perfection* and the hash brown inside *amazing*. The attention to detail was great (May seem small but the wrap on the burrito was on point! No leaks!). There are a ton of places in SoCal and East Los that do breakfast burritos, but these stand out for real! I've also had their burgers and pasilla rings (seriously gotta order the rings!) and everything has been so flavorful. Service was great - polite and warm folks running the business! Def will come back again and again.

Great food, great people. Love their smash burgers. Quality ingredients. Service was excellent and very accommodating. Location is nice. There is a taproom next door so you can grab a beer and enjoy an awesome smash burger.

Yelp
5/5 Although the wait is a little longer than some places, they don't advertise as a "fast-food" establishment. The food comes out fresh every time and service is always top notch. You can tell that the workers really enjoy and take pride in their work! The smash burger was awesome and one of the best I've had. The bacon and barbacoa burritos are also amazing. I'll definitely be back for the their weekend BBQ!

Yelp
Wanted to update since we went back again this past weekend - as we do often - and breakfast burritos are still fire and customer service is still amazing. I do miss the turkey chorizo, but we love the bacon con queso and rajas as well. Also just truly kind and authentic people working at/running SolRád! It's always a positive experience with the owners and their staff.

The owner of this place has a problem with some people. I believe he is a racist. I tried to order food but was treated like I was from mars.

I decided to go to Sol Rad specifically because I heard how good their Pasilla Rings were. They were AMAZING!! I never knew a pasilla pepper would be such a good contender for a fried snack, but they were delicious. They were perfectly fried and the batter was crisp and light. They serve with a jalapeño ranch that got big compliments from my friend. I loved them with one of their salsas though. Service was great and quick. I definitely want to come back! Blvd Market is a really cool place to eat with friends in general. There's something different for everyone!

Their bacon con queso breakfast burrito is FANTASTIC. Tasty and flavorful. Portion size is good as well. Def will be coming back to try the barbacoa.

I wanted to come on here and really give SolRad the raving review they deserve. We've been visiting The Blvd since it opened and I was excited to have a burger spot. Keep in mind the burgers are on the smaller side, so don't come expecting a giant burger. But man do they pack in flavor. My kids love them, my husband loves them and to top it off they're always so nice! I can taste the love, thoughtfulness and work they put into the burgers and even the fries (think Mojo's but better). They even make their own ranch and chipotle ketchup, both are yummy. Do yourselves a favor and grab a burger when you visit The Blvd.

Wow! One of the best breakfast burritos I've had!!! Honest review... first bite blew me away. Quality ingredients! Food has good hearty home-feel like mom made, if Mom was inked up. Ted, Justin, and Team really made us feel welcomed. Be patient if there's a bit of a wait, trust me it's worth it. I had the breakfast burrito with bacon and it hit the spot. Potatoes were awesomely seasoned. And the ambience and vibe for a Sunday spot is the epitome of a Sunday Afternoon in LA. Great spot to hang out with friends, family, the pups.... Or come and meet new friends. But make sure you try that burrito. I'll be trying more the next time I'm here, and trust me, I'll be here again (Probably this week!) These guys are about Community and how can you not support that?! Oh and the green salsa is flavorful and has a kick.

This new place has amazing food! You need to come and try it! We had the burgers and fried potatoes (similar to Shakey's mojos). And wow the flavor in the burger was amazing. This is gourmet quality food in a fun atmosphere. The service was great too, even on days when they are super busy. This team truly cares about all aspects of their business.

Good and Straight gas! Didn't catch the dudes name but he had glasses was a cool down to earth man and giving good food man. The environment was great too definitely coming around again.

Located at Blvd Marketplace this is one of 6 shipping containers made into Little Restaurants. Ordered food,no other people were ordering so our order was out pretty quick. Burger, Patty Melt and Rings were delicious. Not your typical burger place. My favorite was the Pasilla Rings. We initially drove out this way because the reviews and pictures and the old menu said mojos and I love mojo potatoes. I was disappointed not to see this on the new menu. I didn't care for the papitas they were basically like potato chips. Another downer they had no water to give or sell. I gave this spot a 5 star because it looked clean, food was decent and hot, workers were pleasant, great atmosphere.

I never leave reviews, but this is the best burger I have ever had. I'll be thinking of it in my dreams.

Yo Homie coming through with that flame. Smash burgers on deck, and they gas too. And the rittos and sauce smacks. Yo big ups to this guy doing it big and treating the customers right. Always a good time to get some good food and a nice chat! It's in a dope little food mall with out door seating you can walk a few feet and get some suds as will if you like some beer.

Top contender for the best burger in LA. The papitas are so fun, fluffy and crispy! Ketchup tastes homemade and has a nice kick. 10/10!

After trying a few smash burger famous locations in Los Angeles during the past few weeks, I have to say SolRád had the best flavor by far.. I'm updating my review. They truly deserve 5 stars.

Great Smashie Burger was perfect size. It came with mojos and spicy ketchup. Wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend BLVD Market.
