This was an impromptu decision, for sure, but certainly not one I regret. I often find that if I am going to a run-down restaurant in a well-established neighborhood, I'm likely going to get some great food. This was no different.
You can pull into the parking lot where Burger Town is and everything has a familiar feel to it, for me. A taqueria or two, a thrift store, an AutoZone. And then, in the middle of the lot as a stand-alone building with no seating for dine-ins, is Burger Town.
I ordered the Norteña Burger combo with a Manzanita Sol. The lovely lady behind the counter was patient as I tried to finalize my order and they were very fast to serve up the dish. Under ten dollars got me in and out in less than ten minutes.
The sandwich itself was an interesting blend. The mustard and mayo mixed well with the avocado and the ham complimented the patty and the bacon very well. The patty itself was very dry, but that didn't turn out to be too bad of a thing because they got the flavor of the patty all in the sear from the grill! This is a skill-perfected sandwich. Had the meat been a little juicier, I would have given the entire thing a higher score, but I think that any attempt to do so might change the formula entirely and ruin it.
The fries were wonderful, crisp crinkle-cut fries dusted with a Cajun spice blend. Very good. I over-ate on the fries.
Overall, if you want a great, fast, cheap burger, this place will more than satisfy. There was more than enough food for me to get stuffed on and the flavor was amazing. I give it a solid four out of five.

Read moreI chose to check this place out. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am. Firstly, the patties are not made fresh every morning. Whoever said that , that’s a lie. I came for strictly hamburgers. Not ham and cheese. These were frozen beef patties nothing to be excited about. I ordered a double and it was cafeteria burger saying the least. Won’t be returning. Nothing attractive about the burger. She gave me no receipt. I am out. Save yourself trouble in Irving many great burger spots . Mainly whataburger for the price ! This is no hidden gem . I won’t...
Read moreTacos are just terrible, nasty & bland fajita meat. I took one bite and threw away 3 tacos because it was completely inedible. Burger combos are way over-priced for what it appears you are getting. The burger may be really good but I'll never know because the $8 combo is not a good value for the amount of fries and drink you get. Picture on menu shows only a few french fries in the basket, like less than 10. Drink is a canned soda not an actual fountain drink. Go somewhere else for food there's so many other places to get burgers and...
