The Tostada Burger—a half-pound patty crowned with refried beans, crushed tortilla chips, and a molten pile of cheddar—put this San Antonio institution on the map when Chris Madrid opened the doors in 1977. What started as a taco-and-burger joint evolved through the '80s when Madrid noticed burgers were flying out faster than anything else, prompting a full pivot to the Tex-Mex burger concept that still packs the Blanco Road location today. Every burger arrives sizzling, messy, and unapologetically indulgent.
