"2016-05-10T00:00:00"^^ . . "Burger Mania is pretty damn good. I've been staying at the Motel 6 next door, so I've been frequenting Burger Mania quite often over the past two days. Long story short, I've been consuming some pretty decent burritos lately.\n\nI know this place serves everything from burgers to gyros, but it really gave me the impression of a fast food Tex-Mex restaurant. That isn't a bad thing by any means; it did the Tex-Mex thing very well, and I was thoroughly pleased. But for the purpose of this review, I'll be focusing on the Tex-Mex aspect of Burger Mania.One note on the name though, they really should serve a veggie burger. I find it manic that a veggie burger is not on Burger Mania's large and diverse menu.\n\nSo far I've tried the Vegetarian Burrito, the Breakfast Veggie Burrito and the Bean and Cheese Burrito. The Vegetarian Burrito was great. It was loaded with avocado and other goodies. I also enjoyed the Breakfast Veggie Burrito, as it had all the vegetarian breakfast staples I enjoy (including eggs). I also found it nice that they let me choose from the breakfast menu despite it being noon and the sign saying breakfast ends at 11am. That was very kind of them. Both burritos were decently priced, though you can get more for your money elsewhere. I'd say it's a good value all things considered.\n\nThe Bean and Cheese burrito sucked. It was just like the name implied: nothing but beans and cheese and it was very bland. Yucky. But at least it's large and cheap, so you get your money's worth. If you really want to save a buck, then there ya go I guess.\n\nAlso, a shoutout to the Horchata: it's on point. A fine beverage.\n\nPro-tip: Don't get the typical pre-bottled hot sauces that are sitting next to the ketchup directly in front of the register. Instead, opt for the homemade sauces that are off to the side. If you're facing the register, they're on the left. The homemade sauces are much better.\n\nSpeaking of the homemade sauces, you have a choice between the green sauce and the red sauce and some other fixings. I recommend the green (verde) sauce. It has a small kick and it's very tasty. I also want to give Burger Mania props for including convenient to-go containers with lids for sauces. This way, I can take them back to the Motel 6 and try to forget the fact that I'm staying at a Motel 6. \n\nThe staff is very friendly and helpful. The service is a tad on the slow side, but it's not unbearable by any means. The wait is definitely worth it though.\n\nAnd of course, I need to talk about the beverage options. You have alot. Like seriously, I don't think I've ever seen this many. Fountain soda, bottled water, lemonade, HORCHATA, cheap beer, decent beer, soda in freaking glass bottles, the list goes on. I think they even serve spirits (vodka, rum) in those small one-shot glass containers. You will not be disappointed with your options. Good job Burger Mania, you have mastered the beverage game.\n\nOkay, I've said all that needs to be said, so now it's time to give Burger Mania a rating. This is a tough one. It's a toss up between 4 and 5 stars. Like, it's very close. Unfortunately though, I have a policy that if I have to question whether or not to give a place 4 or 5 stars, it gets 4 stars. I only give a 5 star review if the establishment absolutely and undeniably earned it. So Burger Mania gets 4 stars.\n\nWhy does Burger Mania get only 4 stars? It ultimately comes down to value. Let's compare Burger Mania to other Tex-Mex establishments. At Taco Bell, I can get more for my money. And at Chipotle, I can get a better product for my money. So while Burger Mania is very, very good, it's just a little short of 5-star good. I can honestly say that Burger Mania, for me, is probably the closest an establishment has come to getting 5 stars without getting 5 stars. If I could do 4.5 stars, I absolutely would. So don't let this 4 star rating hold you back; Burger Mania is damn good.\n\nBottom line: I can recommend Burger Mania. If you're in the area and you're looking for a solid eatery, Burger Mania is a good choice. They have something for everyone, and they do a pretty decent job. It's definitely worth trying at least once."^^ . "4"^^ . "3"^^ . "1"^^ . . . "2"^^ .
