Chris Madrids Review

Founded in 1977, this burger and nacho joint goes by the motto "Cook Each Item as if You Were Cooking It for a Friend," and it shows. The six varieties of hamburgers—which locals and tourists alike consider among the best in the world—come in two sizes: regular and Macho. The only other items on the menu are fresh-cut fries, nachos, chalupas (open-faced tacos), and a grilled chicken sandwich. Tex-Mex decor adorns the old gas station and cantina, which is a full-service bar with iced-down longnecks and frozen margaritas. It all makes for a fun, family friendly meal out.
