Aztec Burgers — Restaurant in Henderson

used to be fat boy... I don't know if that failed or just moved, but as someone who has lived around the corner for the past 10 years & who used to consult to far better restaurants, this food at this location at this pricepoint will never work... sorry to the new owner, but that's just true...

if you want to try it, I suggest you hustle on down, as everything fails in this location...

(& yes, unless this is a deliberate loser for tax purposes, I really am saying cut your losses and run... )

the patisserie - which really is phenomenal - works because of the volume of takeout... and ay ay ay charges crazy prices ($80 skirt steaks!), so they just need enough mcdonalds ranch raiders... (& that said, I expect ay ay ay to fail, too...)

point is, this location is crap, particularly for B+ hamburgers with no drivethru... there's no anchor store, limited parking, and competitors who will get nearly every dining group that includes a woman...

& it's just a badly filled little strip mall, competing with a bead store and used books - if anyone gets popular, there won't be anywhere to park - but no fear of that - in 10 years, at least 20 different businesses have failed in this strip mall!

& yes, we need a better burger place - and the burgers are pretty good for what they are - but the fries are just ok and the prices are way too high... and it's not fast... nor will it ever be convenient for take out or nice enough inside for a decent date... honestly, I don't think the folks who opened this understand the local situation, at all - nobody is asking for pricy, slightly elevated, slow fast food in an inconvenient location...

seems like freddys, zaxbys, habit, rudys bbq, canes, pizza ranch, culvers - there are so many obvious low level dining places that could absolutely kill in this area (because all we have is taco bell and arbys!) - but I don't think this is it...

that said, the aztec burger was tasty... the split sausage included is surprisingly spicy (and pretty much impossible to keep on the burger while you eat it)... and I liked it, too, but $15 just for the burger is just too much... I also had $4 fries and a $4 fountain drink... with tip, I spent $30... it really is just glorified fast food at casino prices...

other small fails (they are new so I expect changes) are no lids for the too small drinks, weak fountain drink selection, no napkins on the tables (even though the burgers are messy af), & the only condiment easily available is ketchup...

lady who served me was nice...

& yes, of course, aztec is far better than the huge chains (mcd, bk, carls, etc), and its an ok place to eat, but I think freddy's #5 tastes better than an aztec burger, and is also faster and half the price... (and they have milkshakes... )

anyhow, i wish there was an obvious fix, but if there is, it's the same as fat boy... they left...

(& yes, they probably deserve 3 or 4 stars for everything, but I'd like them to stick around as long as possible because we have such limited burger options...

Aztec Burgers offers a truly unique and flavorful experience in this neighborhood. It is a spot you don’t want to miss. The menu features a fusion of traditional and “Mexican Aztec” flavors. I tried the signature Aztec Burger and sweet potatoes with chili, and they were both delicious.

Let's talk first about the burger. It's absolutely fantastic! You can immediately taste the freshness of this hefty beef cheeseburger. It is juicy and perfectly flavored with Mexican seasonings. The included toppings of lettuce, grilled onions, guacamole, and grilled chili definitely add an additional vibrant kick to the flavor. The homemade chili is a must-try addition as a dipping sauce for the fries!

The portion sizes are generous and the place offers a great variety of options to suit everyone’s taste, including some creative twists if you’re feeling adventurous. Each bite is a delightful mix of flavors that leaves you satisfied but still thinking about when you can stop by again for more.

Overall, Aztec Burgers takes the classic burger experience to a whole new level. If you’re craving a burger that’s more than just your average, run-of-the-mill fast food, this is the place to go!

One of the most noticeable improvements since the days of the previous owner, Fatboy’s, is the Cleanliness of the establishment. The dining area is tidy, and the staff's attention to maintaining a welcoming environment is evident. The bathrooms, in particular are well kept Clean, which is such an important aspect that often gets overlooked in many places. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed.

Overall, Aztec Burgers sets a new standard compared to its predecessor: The unique twist to the “yumminess” factor and quality burgers. A clean and pleasant dining experience.

I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy a delicious meal in a...

Listen, I’m not saying Aztec Burgers changed my life… but I did start hearing angel choirs after the first bite of The Aztec. I walked in hungry and left wondering if I should write them into my will. That burger? Juicy. Flavorful. Stacked like it was built by a team of engineers who also love Jesus and cheat days.

This thing wasn’t a burger—it was a blessing. Char-grilled perfection, melty cheese, a little spice that whispered, “You’re welcome,” and a bun that held it all together like the mom who packed your lunch with love and a side of grace.

Atmosphere: Clean, cozy, and full of locals who know what’s up. If you don’t believe a place with “Burger” in the name can be sacred ground, you haven’t been here.

Service: Fast, friendly, and no eye rolls when I stared at the menu for five full minutes pretending I might order something else. Spoiler: I didn’t.

BUT… We gotta talk napkins. Look, when your burger is dripping flavor and blessings, a single-ply napkin from 1993 isn’t gonna cut it. I need something with absorption power. Like, give me a shop towel. Or a ShamWow. Also—where’s the ketchup pump? These tiny little packets? I’m trying to baptize my fries, not perform communion. Help me out.

Final Verdict: 4.5 out of 5. If they upgrade the napkins and set the ketchup free, we’re talking straight-up perfection. Until then, I’ll be back—with my own paper towels and a backup...
