San Antonio's Favorite Burger Styles for Your Next Event

San Antonio doesn't just serve burgers—it invented some. These are the styles that define the city's unique burger culture.

🌮

Tostada Burgers

San Antonio can claim the Tostada Burger as its own—a culinary creation as singular as the Philly Cheese Steak. Born at Chris Madrid's in the Beacon Hill neighborhood, this Tex-Mex masterpiece tops a burger patty with refried beans, cheese, and tostada chips. Often imitated, but less recognizable the farther afield you find it.

🧀

Cheddar Cheezy Burgers

Chris Madrid's jumbo half-pound Cheddar Cheezy burgers have been a San Antonio institution since 1977. Thick patties smothered in melted cheddar, served with hand-cut fries. This style has inspired burger trucks throughout the city to go big on cheese and portion size.

🫘

Bean Burgers

The bean burger tradition runs deep in San Antonio—long before plant-based became trendy. Institutions like Ringo's and the fondly remembered Sill's Snack Shack made bean burgers a local staple. Today's trucks carry on this tradition, offering hearty, satisfying patties that locals grew up eating.

🌶️

Green Chile Burgers

New Mexico's influence shows up in San Antonio's love for green chile cheeseburgers. Roasted Hatch chiles, melted pepper jack, and a juicy patty create a Southwestern flavor profile that fits right in with the city's Tex-Mex heritage. A crowd favorite at events.

🤠

Classic Tex-Mex Burgers

This is San Antonio—where Tex-Mex flavors find their way into everything. Expect burgers topped with jalapeños, queso, pico de gallo, or guacamole. These aren't fusion experiments; they're authentic expressions of how San Antonio eats.

🌱

Plant-Based Options

San Antonio was ahead of the curve—Earth Burger opened as the city's first plant-based fast food restaurant in 2014. Today's burger trucks offer Impossible patties, black bean burgers, and veggie options that satisfy guests who skip meat without sacrificing flavor.
