Ok, I know that's not a typical burger joint order but I was totally blown away by both of these items. I don't have any delusion that the sweet potato fries are low fat, maybe they have a few more antioxidants. Whatever, I order them on occasion and feel less guilt. The ones at Smashburger are awesome (if you like that sort of thing). The other thing I tried at their media grand opening was the lime shake. I would never order a lime shake normally, but it was pretty darn good. I'm not the only one who thought so. Speaking of that event, our meals were comped but I have spent plenty of my own money there since then as I live in La Jolla.

Smashburger is very active in social media, as am I, and I think they've done a great job earning loyalty because of it. I see people tweet them all the time, and their tweets are returned by Smashburger.

The menu has other stuff besides burgers. I like that you can sub in a chicken breast in lieu of a beef patty. There are also salads and hot dogs, though my order would be the 1/3 lb Smashburger with cheese. It's pretty good. My only complaint is that it can sometimes feel pretty dark on the inside. It tastes way better if you eat it there fresh though.

DROP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND TRY THIS PLACE IMMEDIATELY!

My new favorite Hamburger. It really feels good to see a new business open in the Del Mar Plaza. After eating there I know they will make it. The food and service is outstanding. If you haven't tried one, I would recommend you do. I like that they also offer Chicken Burgers for people that stay away from beef. After you can go to the Sunset Yogurt and Ice Cream store next to the Harvest Ranch Market they have it all. Ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt AND smoothies. I luv there Gelato. Hope you enjoy Del Mar while you are there.

We were just there two weeks ago for the first time and we both thought our burger was superb! I got the sweet potato fries and loved them. When eating in La Jolla I would def go back here as a top choice again.

The food was ok, but it was so hard to order my burger. The guy behind the counter wasn't much help either. I might give it another go soon tho.
