Really. This is a 7 stars, and clearly one of the best if Oakland. Perfect food, nice atmosphere, busy enough to be cozy. The staff is friendly and attentive. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
I met the owner: one of the nicest people I have ever met.

I have been hoping to have a NextLevel burger, but now I have tried Malibu's Burgers and it's fantastic!!!! The owner Danny Malibu is such a compassionate man. He became vegan for the animals. This past weekend he handed out over a hundred to SNAP recipients with his famous burgers. The establishment is 100% plan based. Don't let that stop you. Go eat there and meet Chef Danny Malibu. There is plenty of protein in those burgers!

Had to try it again just off the strength of the family. I love Casa la Borinquena & I want to support black businesses, especially vegan ones 💯 My last experience wasn’t the best & I wasn’t being fair with my review tbh. For that I do apologize & I really hope this family stays in business. Will be coming back for sure, anytime I am in the mood for burger & fries. Plus it’s local & convenient for me which is great!

The cashier (Andrea) was such a homie, she was so kind and helpful, cheery and thoughtful, she answered all my questions with patience 🥰 wonderful service.
And the food was DELICIOUS, like the burger was charred sooo well and the sauces were amazing, the chef really did a great job! What a great place to eat at 🥹💞

Life changing vegan burger. I was trying out of curiosity and it totally changed my perspective on vegan food. Super tasty. Fries could better seasoned.

Extensive and indulgent vegan menu - really delicious milkshakes! Burgers are a tad pricey for what you get but overall an amazing find for vegans.

First time we tried Malibu Burgers, the chicken sandwich was great but the signature Malibu Burger was over cooked. We decided to give it a second chance and ordered two burgers, two orders of fries, and a side sauce. Received three burgers that did not include one that we ordered, no side sauce, and very old fries. When we called, we were told that the chef decided to substitute the burger(s) but no one thought to contact us, and there was no explanation for the missing sauce. There are very few vegan spots in Oakland, so this was incredibly disappointing. Certainly seems like a service issue rather than a product issue. Hope they get it together as we'd like to see them succeed.
Shoutout to Amanda and the kitchen for taking an extremely late walk-in order from me 15 mins before closing ... hated to be that customer but Amanda was so kind about it! This was my first time here and Amanda went above and beyond, sharing their favorites, La Lula Chick'n Sandwich and the Ghosttown Burger ... both delicious!! Look forward to going back again!! 100% recommend!

Had unique, outstanding food here today as always. My non-vegan finance loves the food here too and he definitely tells me when a vegan dish is not great. Whenever I'm in the East Bay is make a point to eat here.

4 stars bc it's nice that it's an all vegan burger place, the fries and ube milkshake(with Oreo crumble) were really yummy! The burger was my least favorite, I think the sauce and/or the cheese on the burger I got was a bit too tangy and the burger overall was wet and could use more seasoning(salt, pepper,garlic powder, onion powder...). Not my best vegan burger, perhaps I will try their other menu options. Will def be back for the VEGANNN ube shake!!!
