“ The food was great. We tried a bunch of different burgers and a chicken sandwich. All were great. Huge patties! And our server was excellent. She noticed our daughter wasn't feeling well and took extra steps to take care of her. We were all really happy to have found this spot. ”
“ After eating seafood, rice and beans for a week, we wanted a little taste of home and they did NOT disappoint!! We got the Medalla battered onion pieces as an appetizer, The Shack Explosion burger and The 1/2lb burger with toppings of my choice and ugh it was soooo good. If you want something other than seafood and you just want a burger I definitely recommend this place. ”
“ The Pineapple Mojito was delicious. The Shack Attack Burger was decent. The fries were seasoned but lacked any salt. Charlene was great, very friendly. The owner was nice even though he didn't look the part. ”
“ 5/5 – A Flavor Explosion at El Jefe Burger Shack! From the moment I stepped into El Jefe Burger Shack, I knew I was in for something special—but nothing could’ve prepared me for the delicious ride I was about to take. I ordered The Shack Explosion Burger and fries, and let me tell you—they weren’t lying about the explosion part! This burger was perfectly cooked, bursting with juicy flavor, and piled high with all the right toppings. Every bite was a mouthwatering mix of savory, cheesy, crispy goodness. The fries? Golden, crispy, and seasoned to perfection—none of that soggy stuff here. And the service? Top-notch. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to love what they do. The good vibes matched the good food, and that’s a combo I’ll keep coming back for. If you’re anywhere near this place and craving a burger that goes above and beyond, do yourself a favor and hit up Happy Burger Shack. Trust me—your taste buds will thank you. ”
“ Watermelon mojito is amazing!!!!! Be careful it’s not Gatorade sip slow A++ food also ask for the secret hot sauce you won’t be disappointed ”
“ Stopped here for dinner on the way back from San Juan. The food was absolutely incredible — maybe the best burger I’ve ever had in my life and the wings were good as well. Julia was our waitress and she was absolutely amazing! Prices are very good as well. If you’re visiting the Kiosks or if you’re anywhere in the area, this place is a MUST GO!!! ”
“ What a delicious meal! We are carnivores who thrive on burgers. These burgers are hand made as ordered, so worth the wait! Delicious blend of flavors (sautéed onions and mushrooms and the burger was wrapped in bacon) and cooked just right. While we waited we sipped on deliciously cold coconut mojitos and Madella beers! Our bartender/owner Carlos and his wife and their baby boy Lucas were an added plus as they conversed about life in Puerto Rico and recommended other eating experiences to try. Carlos even took us on a brief walk to show us the restaurants of his choice to try. Don’t miss this awesome spot and food!!! ”
“ BEST BURGER and virgin MOJITO you will ever have, the portions were GENEROUS and satiating. We had the jalapeño stuffed burger, cravings fries, and regular fries. Carlos (the owner) was VERY nice, the atmosphere was AMAZING, food was FRESH, everything was a 10/10. They make their own buns, and that bun was delicious and didn’t get soggy like other buns do!!! The burgers’ meat wasn’t heavily seasoned, so you can taste a great burger, the jalapeños didn’t over power the burgers’ flavor but definitely made the burgers have a nice zing to it. The fries were DELICIOUS on their own, and they were generous with the sauce and the fillings for the craving fries too. Everything was juicy and wasn’t greasy which made it light on us. The lemon ginger mojitos were PERFECT, the ratio of ginger to lemon to mint to sweet was perfect. Bonus points: he gave us apples at the end as a gift :) ”
