EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Burger’s signature red stand and local flavor are now part of Downtown El Paso.
The El Paso Downtown Management District (DMD) welcomed Burger with a ribbon-cutting celebration on Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 15, at 209 East Mills Avenue.
What began as a surprise pop-up known for its bold red stand and crave-worthy smash patties, and after opening its first permanent location in Horizon City, Burger returned to where it all started, DMD said in a news release.
DMD said Burger built its reputation by keeping things simple: “a focused menu, high-quality ingredients, and perfectly seared smash burgers that quickly became a local favorite.”
KTSM spoke with the owners of Burger, Anthony Ortiz and Ana Trevizo, who further explained what makes their burgers extra special.
“Starting off our buns, there’s no high-fructose corn syrup. They’re made with milk, eggs, and butter, and we don’t freeze them. We don’t freeze out meat. We hand-slice our pickles, then we add tamed pickled jalapenos so they’re not spicy. We’ve got two slices of American cheese and an 11-part house-made sauce that we add to it. All of them coming together with fresh ingredients, natural,” Ortiz said.
“Plus, we care about every customer, so it’s important to us that everyone who comes to Burger feels at home,” Trevizo added.
In addition, the new location brings that same energy and flavor back home, featuring the iconic red stand as part of its storefront design.
“We’re thrilled to see Burger bring its signature flavor and personality back to the heart of the city,” Ivan Bernal, marketing and communications manager for the Downtown Management District, said. “Their return shows how local businesses continue to grow, invest, and believe in Downtown El Paso.”
