“A Retro Gem - Hamburger Hut is a Must-Visit!

Hamburger Hut is an absolute throwback gem! From the moment we walked in, the vibe and ambience were awesome—such a cool, beachy atmosphere.

I’d rate the vibe a solid 9.1, and the burger? Easily a 9.2!

An awesome smash burger with crispy edges, full of flavor, and everything you’d want in a great burger.

The staff were super friendly and wonderful, making the experience even better. The only minor hiccup was that the fries were a bit cold, but I’m a big fan of shoestring fries, so I’m giving that a pass given how amazing everything else was.

Can’t wait to go back and enjoy it all over again. Highly recommend!“

“Food is amazing! Everything we got was so so tasty. They also have a DJ, but the music is not that loud, so you can still talk to the other person.

Indeed, the portions are small, especially compared with the typical American portions, but they are so tasty, healthy, and unique. You should definitely try it if you are passing by.

One of the best restaurants I have been in US.“

“I totally forgot to take photos because I was enjoying myself so much!You need a reservation if you aren’t a guest at the hotel. We sat by the glass overlooking the ocean with a fire pit lighting our table and keeping us warm.Great atmosphere! Listening to the waves below.We had the prawns with shisitos, the clams, and the fish tacos. All of it was amazing. My favorite was the prawns with the chimichurri sauce. Divine!Server was super sweet. We were there near closing (6pm closing for food) and she was helpful to make sure we knew to order right away.

Parking: If you don’t want to valet your car, you might need to park a couple minutes walk away. It’s easy, but may want to account for it with your reservation time.“

“This is another great local dive bar. I stopped in for a drink and was impressed by their well-appointed small whiskey selection. Despite the place being busy, the bartender was friendly and very attentive. The atmosphere was enjoyable, and the service was excellent. It’s definitely worth a visit.“

“Delicious brunch at Cocina de Barrio! We are big fans of the chain and this was our first time at this location and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Tia Chata drink which has a coconut popsicle that was a lot of fun as well as a blonde ale. For entrees we had the salmon hash and sopes benny. We sat on the dog friendly patio. The service was very friendly and quick, water always getting refilled. The restrooms have changing tables. Recommend, everything on the menu tastes amazing.“
