Living in the Los Angeles area, I’m surrounded by great food—but every time I travel to Houston, there’s one spot I never skip: Burger Bodega. It’s not just a burger joint; it’s a must-stop experience that lives rent-free in my head until I’m back in town. The vibe is always welcoming, and the staff is friendly, helpful, and just plain cool—exactly the kind of energy that makes you want to keep coming back.
My usual order is the Smash Burger Double—two crispy-edged smashed patties, melty American cheese, grilled onions, housemade pickles, Bodega sauce, all stacked on a soft potato bun. It’s a flavor bomb. And no visit is complete without the Screwed Fries: thin-cut fries loaded with cheese sauce, onions, and more of that signature sauce. Just thinking about it is making me hungry.
Honestly, I think it’s time to plan another trip. If you’re ever in Houston, do yourself a favor and check out Burger Bodega. Whether you’re a smash burger fanatic or just want something unforgettable, it’s absolutely worth the stop.
