The restaurant is located across the street from the East LA Civic Center. They have a variety of food including burgers, hot dogs, chili cheese, fries, sandwiches, and a variety of other types of food. Customer service is great, people are friendly and knowledgeable. If you pay with debit or credit, there is an up charge of I believe 50 cents. I purchased a jr cheeseburger and seasoned fries. The burger itself was very tasty, the secret sauce I think honestly was thousand Islands and maybe another type of sauce mixed with it. But it definitely tasted like a thousand Islands dressing. The lettuce, tomatoes, and onions were very fresh. Next time, I may ask for the onions to be grilled rather than for them to be raw, but that is just my own preference. The bun itself was very nice and fluffy and did not taste like it was days old bread. The burger itself was pretty big, even though it was their Jr cheese burger. I definitely would not be able to finish a regular sized burger, but I don't eat quite a lot. The seasoned fries were seasoned very nicely and most of them had a good crunch, but I continued to bite into some that were a bit stale. Maybe they had been sitting around for a bit. From 1 to 5, I would give them a 4. Maybe next time I can order them fresh, that would probably make them a 5. I did ask for ketchup and ranch. The ketchup was your average type of ketchup, no comments. The ranch dressing itself had a more watery consistency. I tend to enjoy ranch dressing that is thicker. But that is my own preference, if you prefer a more watery ranch, this one is still tasty. They do charge for extra sauce, but they did give me ketchup and ranch for free, so I'm not entirely sure how that works. Their yellow peppers come pre-wrapped, which I thought was very convenient and sanitary. I did not try their beverages, but they do have sodas, water and some sort of juices. They do have aguas frescas, but they are not actually aguas frescas. They are those aguas frescas that are premade (not what I consider an actual agua fresca). I don't believe the location has a public restroom, but I did not inquire about that. The dine-in space is very small, and on a warm day it can get a little stuffy inside. I ended up sitting outside and it felt fresher outside, keep in mind it is summer at the time I am submitting this review. There are not too many tables inside, so if you are thinking of purchasing food for your family, I would suggest eating outside at the benches, or taking the food home. There are some tables outside of the restaurant. I would suggest to take some napkins and wipe them down. I did wipe down the chair I was planning to sit on and it was not dirty. Which leads me to believe that they probably clean them on a daily basis when putting them out. I did not test the benches for cleanliness, but I would probably ear on the side of caution and take some extra napkins to wipe them down. Overall, I had a good experience. Will definitely return to try the rest of their menu.

Mixed feelings... Who doesn't like a good burger? B If you do, and you stop here, it'll come with a price. Around lunch time, a friend of mines suggested burgers. We were in the area of SoCal Bugers and conducted a quick google search for "best burger near me". This place popped up. I read some of the reviews and it as appeared there was a love/hate relationship with this place. People either loved it hated it. Well... I had a burger on my radar so we went anyway. I ordered the chipotle turkey burger or was it the turkey chipotle burger, lol. Anyway, a single stack (I'll call it) chipotle turkey burger, fries and a drink. (Let me say this... I was told by a worker that the small fries was really small so I ordered the large. Get the small fries as the large was seriously enough for three people. And the drink came in only one size--a medium styrofoam cup like you'd get at a party, lol. Kinda went old school which is fine by me. No free refills and a medium size styrofoam cup, Hmmm... I was actually surprised since they fill the soda for you.) OK, back on track. The burger was fantastic. It's kinda hard to mess up a turkey burger but with the flavorful chipotle sauce, and crispy toasted bun, this made for one of the better turkey burgers I've ever had. That says a lot. The fries were great, but it was a HUGE serving that could feed several people. And now, this kind of explains the love/hate relationship as previously noted by past reviewers of So Cal Burgers. How much was this turkey burger special? My total amount was over a whopping $21.00. Did you hear that? Over $20.00 for a burger meal. It was a fantastic burger but it was only a turkey burger, not some exotic meat. Anyway, great turkey burger and tasty fries but no way can I justify the hefty prices. Because of the prices, I'll give it three stars.

This is my first visit, and i was blown away by the taste of the double cheese bacon burger. It is a little pricey, but to me, it's totally worth it! The burger is so good and very similar in taste to burgers. I've tried from The Yard House, which is another restaurant that serves good meals. I came with my wife, she got a salad and she was also happy with her food and expressed how great it tasted and how the chicken was grilled and served hot vs other salads where the chicken is cold. Not here, everything is Fresh! We will definitely be coming back, we live in Highland Park, so we aren't that far from here. I've never been to a restaurant that would make me want to come back like these guys. The combo you saw in the pictures i added was a regular size seasoned fries. This is a solid 5-star meal.

12/27/2023 So-Cal Burgers 203 S Mednik Ave Los Angeles, CA 90022 This was my first visit in search of chili dogs. It's on the border with Monterey Park in a small strip mall with some parking in the back. There is some indoor seating and most is outside. I ordered and paid at the counter, then waited for my number to be called. The chili dogs were assembled with bun, mustard, lightly seared flat top foot long dog, chili and chopped onions in that order. The dog was on the salty side and complemented the flavorful meaty chili with hints of chili powder and cumin. The service staff was very friendly and helpful. This was one of the better chili dogs I've had and So-Cal is definitely repeatable.

Freaking awesome garage style diner. Awesomely decorated with a sick motorcycle displayed on the inside. Delicious burgers and crunchy on the outside soft on the inside fries. Prices on the menu are for each item. No combos sadly so it's pretty pricey honestly. You can call in your order and pick it up. If you are a business owner. You can leave your business card to enter it into a raffle to win yourself a free "combo meal". There are two tables with four chairs and three with two seats each. There are three extra tables outside with two chairs each. They have flyers for events on top of the tool cabinet that's filled with stickers.
