If you like cheese and bacon,,,,, Porkey Delight is for you...if your really hungry and can eat a big burger get a Macho share the fries there good but you will not have room for a full order. more

Great greasy cheeseburgers! The fries are fresh cut with skins left on - I thought they were great. Glad we gave it a try while visiting San Antonio - will go back next time we are in San Antonio. more

Chris Madrids has the best burgers in San Antonio. The cheddar cheesy Macho is great. They would have gotten a 5 for the food, but they have soggy fries and I do not like them. If you're a fan of soggy fries, this is your place. The atmosphere is interesting. They do get busy for lunch, so expect a wait. more

The burgers are enormous and fairly tasty, but the enormous amount of rubbery cheddar cheese topping them is ridiculous. If you like In-and-Out burger, you might be a little disappointed by the cheese, but the idea is the same except much larger. The fries were disappointing (not very crispy), and the small portion (recommended for 1-2 people) could easily feed... more

Chris Madrid's is a San Antonio institution, and some people would consider it a "must-visit" on the same order of magnitude as the Alamo. They would be wrong. There are better places to eat here, even in the "casual dining" category. But if you are really hungry - and really in the mood for a great, greasy burger - then... more

Tripadvisor does it again!! I am not sure reviews on here have ever steered me wrong! We cranked up the old GPS last night; and headed for this little place. It's not much to look at; but OH MY GOODNESS, the food was amazing. The burger was huge, and oh so tasty, and the fries were fresh and hot. The... more

I don't understand why this place is rated so high on the list. Yes the burgers are huge, but they're just thin overcooked burgers with mounds of cheap greasy cheese. I cannot say that I would send anyone in their direction except for the novelty of eating a big (low quality) burger. I end up going there on occasion for... more
