wow, they actually serve fried plantains

The plantains are phenomal, if you order something strong in spices, this side item is perfect, otherwise the burgers are great, and the staff very friendly and extremely acomodating, Omg, my vegiterian friend went with me, and no matter how much they tried he was hard to pleased, so not recommended for veggie eaters.

Best Burger Around

What's not to love about The Vortex? The atmosphere is fun, the service is great and the burgers are the best. Probably not the place for the reserved or tradition burger crowd. But if you're willing to explore, try something wild from here; you won't regret it.

Good Food

Best burger around. Awesome wall art. Dozens of burger types to choose from with all sizes. Original home of the Laughing Skull Beer. 18+ so no worries about annoying little ones.
