Tutu’s Burgers

This place is awesome! They’ll wash your car inside and out while you eat their fantastic burgers. The queso chorizo fries are amazing and they have an excellent selection of bottled beers, including my favorite, Well’s Banana Bread Beer (which is incredibly hard to find). I would wager this is one of the best burger joints in El Paso!

Let me start with this, this place is A M A Z I N G. I ordered the «New Mexico burger» and it was perfect. Perfectly executed, the meat wasn’t dry, and the bun was that baked nicely and warm. Seriously, no exaggeration this place was so good. Instead of cilantro I got the fresh jalapeños, and it was so so so good! I recommend this place 100%. Only downside was that I didn’t get anything to go so I could enjoy it again. That and the fact my burger was large and the bun didn’t cover everything. Literally no complaints. Must-​try!!!

This place was awesome! I literally have no other words for how good it was. You’ll just have to come and try it yourself. I don’t know how anyone could have any complaints. People always say «support local» but still go to the more ‘commercialized’ local restaurants in El Paso. More people need to be coming here!

Went here because my bf and I were craving burgers. We saw on Unilocal it got great reviews and it really did own up to it. On a Tuesday at 8 pm there was only one other family there. I got the Mediterranean burger and he got the Hawaiian burger. Both were cooked well with great flavors. One thing though… napkins. you need loads of them haha. It’s very messy but worth it!

The burgers looked great, but no taste. Only other thing I disliked the owner walking in and out of the kitchen from the car wash area and as he was passing by a Burger that was being garnished grabbed a pickle of the customers burger and ate it.

Burgers are the best in El Paso by far. Clean restaurant but the service is spotty. The employees are nice but not very knowledgable and are almost nonexistent sometimes. Go expecting spotty service and you will love the food

Stopped in for lunch today, and to have my husbands truck washed, service was good, no complaints there, the food we had there was decent, nothing to write home about, but decent for the price. Even with the waitress up charging us for a simple cheeseburger, I wasn’t upset, and informing us that the fry orders were big, but didn’t say they were single fried French fries, making them soggy, and loaded down with Parmesan cheese, I asked for regular fries that said it was just salt and pepper, as I don’t like Parmesan cheese at all. But the downer was, we ordered salads to bring home for later, when she put the order in, she stated there was only enough greens for 1 salad, so I said make my husbands for him, no big deal, however they should have said they were out of greens, because the amount of greens that came in the salad was enough for a side dinner salad, rather than what I assumed we were paying $ 10 for. (Picture will be posted) but then they added the normal amount of vinaigrette to the salad rather than on the side, and of course hot grilled chicken, supposed to have cranberry a and blue cheese, neither were on it. So that was a disappointment. Also they never came with our bill or to clear the plates off our table. Definitely something that should be improved on. However, the vehicle wash, well worth the $ 20 we paid for. Most likely would only go back for the car wash.

Awesome burgers! Great fries. Delicious craft beer. Cool aesthetic inside. Good service. Fair price. Will be back!

I found this place when I looked up «veggie burgers in El Paso» so considering my dining out experience has been limited after going vegan, we gave this place a shot.
We were one of three couples in this place on a slow Wednesday. The place was comfortable with a few TVs and a quiet casual ambiance. This is a welcome change considering most burger joints are ridiculously loud, busy and distracting. I enjoy conversation during meals so this was conducive to my appreciation of the place. Service was good but a bit slow considering the place was almost empty.
I tried the veggie burger of course with the zucchini chips (without the cheese) and my partner in crime tried the New Mexico burger w the spicy chips. Both burgers were good but we are used to more seasoning on the party. The spicy chips and the zucchini were excellent too. They both were served with a spicy salsa and cilantro. Sooo good!
They also serve craft beer so we tried the Bass and Banana Bread beer for $ 2! Can’t go wrong w that price. The Banana Bread sounds funny but it was actually very tasty! Not too sweet and no bitter after taste. Give it a try and judge for yourself. They also carry one called The Breakfast (double chocolate, oatmeal and coffee stout) so next time that will be the choice.
No room for dessert because the burgers are large; cut in half would have probably been a better serving for me but if you are a hearty eater (like my date) then you will be pleased.
The bill was $ 28 wo tip so we both felt it was well worth it considering the serving sizes and beer (we brought 3 in total). I will defiantly return and try a shake next time as well.

Delicious burgers, great beer selection, & fast and friendly service, and are the defining characteristics of Tutu’s. My fiancé and I went here for a casual date night on Friday, and had such a great time. He got the Lone Star BBQ Burger, and I got the California Burger. Both were absolutely fantastic.
Keep in mind that this is a burger joint, and a messy one at that– expect to leave the plates covered with burger juice. One cool fact worth mentioning is that the «plates» are actually these really cool cutting boards, onto which the burgers are fastened with a steak knife (shown well in the pictures).
The house-​made pickles that the burgers came with were a lovely touch, and were delectably tangy and crunchy. You also have a choice of fries or chips– served regular, spicy, or sweet. We got one order of the regular fries, and one of the regular chips. The fries were delicious– crispy, hot, and covered with parmesan cheese, which I love. The chips, though… were GAME CHANGING. First off, I literally don’t know how they were sliced so thin. They were so airy, crispy, and cheesy, all without being too greasy. I have never had chips that were this good. My fiancé and I fought over the last one! Although, we did end up being able to split it, since the chips are also HUGE. By that I mean some of them were the size of a russet potato sliced lengthwise!
Tutu’s is a great place to grab a burger and a brew, and wind down from the week. You won’t be disappointed with their unique and personal touches… or the price– we got out under $ 30 for two burgers and two beers! Love it!

One of my top 5 burger places of all time! We will definitely come back several more times! The menu is on a huge wall and changes regularly! A great selection of beers as well. Excellent service and they offer hand car wash while you eat!

I wanted to try the restaurant from the ratings and photos already on Unilocal.I wasn’t really impressed with the lamb burger I ordered. It was properly prepared but just bland compared to others.
They also had no baby changer in the bathroom which is really annoying.

I really couldn’t find anything that stood out but it was decent, middle of the road, hipster burger. Empty at dinner time is never a great sign. The wall of choices is overwhelming and hard to read due to the glare from the lights.
I ended up with the Pancho Villa, warned of the spice I was excited!
When you eat bunless there isn’t anything to hide behind. I would have preferred the chorizo patty to be more done, I was a little nervous to dig into pink sausage, but it was still tasty. The sweet potatoes chips could have been amazing but they fell short, the honey and feta was a nice touch though.
All in all I would probably try it again. Maybe they do a big lunch business?

The patty on the burger is one of the best I have had. Thick and not dry in the slightest, it’s definitely the best. The fried are good as well, they come topped with parmesean cheese and are perfectly crip yet fluffy. The only thing would be the price point. It can be quite expensive, but it is definitely worth it.

This was our first trip to Tutu’s, and we were stoked after seeing the commercials of these towering burgers filled with enticing toppings.
The combinations they have — 20 gourmet burgers in all — were really impressive. I would be down to try most of them.
My husband ordered the Original and I got the Protein, both to go. (This explains the lack of pics.)
Both of us eagerly unwrapped our burgers. Gotta say, I was surprised mine didn’t have a bun. Oh yeah, protein=no bread on menus. I sliced into it and took a bite. Nice romaine lettuce crunch, hummus was good — but there was something missing. Can’t put my finger on it.
My husband said his burger’s «secret sauce» had a different flavor he wasn’t used to.
The sweet potato fries were greasy but mostly crunchy.
It’s unfortunate the burgers didn’t live up to our expectations. I appreciate the staff’s friendliness and helpfulness, and how each burger was handcrafted individually.
We will likely go back to try either a different burger or a car wash.

Tutu’s Burgers is another spot I learned about via Groupon. The last place was a soul food restaurant in the Northeast that I spoke very highly of in a review so I suspected I’d be pleased with this. First, the menu placement is interesting: chalk write along a 20 ft high wall. Each burger has several items within it so it was hard to choose which ones were going to be on our table. Finally, my two friends and I settled on the Pancho Villa, Pastrami, and Mac n Cheese.
Pancho Villa was really good and had a nice spice. Pastrami was the standout in that it had an interesting Cali vibe with the Pastrami. Also, the sauce/​sauerkraut mix really gave it a distinct flavor. Sadly, the Mac n cheese was a bit depressing and didn’t live up to the hype but I really appreciated the intent. On the upside, their burgers are hearty and definitely worth buying. The spicy chips were flavorful, the zucchini was superb, but the fries fell short. Also, I wasn’t sure how to feel about the tinge of nutmeg taste.
Overall, it’s worth a visit. The staff was friendly, our server was a very personable woman who convinced us a road trip for steak was necessary someday, and the dine-​in area is neat. Also, they will wash your car if you go early enough. Really??? How can you not go?
Great work overall.

I’ve read through all the reviews on here and there’s one magical fact that everyone seems to be overlooking… LEBANESE FOOD! Does an American burger with a Lebanese flare work? Hell yeah! It more than works, it’s one of the best burgers you’ll find in the Southwest!
The outside of Tutu’s will make you skeptical… it might even make you think I’m full of dog doo. Tutu’s is not just a restaurant and bar, it’s also a hand carwash and the outside really looks like a hand carwash. Camo green walls with a patio that’s shaded by a huge sign that reads «Hand Car Wash $ 10». Needless to say, it doesn’t scream «Gourmet burgers inside!» Don’t let that discourage you, I promise you, Tutu’s is surprisingly good.
When my boyfriend and I found Tutu’s on the edge of a strip mall, we didn’t expect much. I reassured my boyfriend that El Paso does that a lot (serves diner food at a carwash) and if the food is good, it can be pretty nice and a little nostalgic.
We walked in and our eyes were immediately as big as saucers. Did not expect what we walked in to. So modern and open and beautiful. There is only one menu, and that’s the chalkboard wall by the register. It’s not the first time I’ve seen a restaurant do this, but I really dig the way they continue to add to the menu. Wood is used in everything from the wall décor to the tables to the cutting boards the food is served on. And it’s all so open. You can see right into the kitchen, turn around and get a drink from the bar, and there isn’t a bad seat in the house to watch a football game.
They had just opened only seconds before so there was no other patrons when we arrived. It was pretty obvious we’d never been there before, but the staff was so warm and inviting that we felt right at home. Our waitress came over within seconds and gave us the run down on how Tutu’s works (you can sit down and order) and even made some recommendations based on their best sellers.
Within a couple of minutes, the owner came over and we had a great conversation with him about the food and that’s when the magical moment happened… that’s the moment when it became immediately apparent to me that these weren’t just random types of burgers thrown together on a menu in hopes that people will like them. No, these burgers (actually ALL of the food) all get their inspiration from Lebanon where the owner is originally from. And it just works.
The owner was nice enough to bring over a plate of fresh vegetables and hummus. The hummus was the real deal. Earthy and delicious and topped with a type of nut that tasted like an almond, but looked like a pine nut… I’m still very confused by it. And not just that, the olive oil that it was topped with was top quality. I’m not sure if there is a hummus appetizer on the menu, but there is a hummus salad which would be pretty similar to what we were served. Tutu’s serves my absolute favorite hummus in EP.
I ordered the Lebanese Lamb Burger and my boyfriend got the Chicago Corned Beef Burger. Both are top of the line! The burgers can be served at the temperature you desire (well, medium, rare, etc.), but I chose to leave that up to the cook this time around and mine was served medium-​well which I found to be perfect. It was a good size patty that I can tell they season in house and I gotta say… yummm! The veggies on top included tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and cucumber which were all very fresh and plated beautifully. The yogurt (could’ve been Tadzhik sauce) unfortunately became a little liquefied and made it a bit messy to eat, but the patty itself with the feta and the veggies tasted so good that the messiness wouldn’t stop me from getting it again. Next time I’ll just ask for the yogurt on the side. I stole a few bites of my boyfriend’s burger and that thing could only have been made by divine intervention! Phenomenal! The corned beef was sooooo good. Now delicious burgers aside, Tutu’s serves the best, THE BEST, house-​made chips! Get the sweet potato chips! Drizzled with honey and tossed with cinnamon and feta cheese… these are the best house-​made chips I’ve had from anywhere!
Our meal didn’t stop there though! The owner clearly takes a lot of pride in not only his business, but also where he comes from. I love that and I love that he has found a way to introduce a different type of cuisine to the EP area (as far as I know Tutu’s is the only restaurant where you can actually get a full on Lebanese experience). The owner was nice enough to bring us out something that I know for a fact is not on the menu, but you definitely NEED to ask for it when you’re at Tutu’s… Bouza Ashta Ice Cream! You have no idea what that is, do you? I was just like you not so long ago. It’s a vanilla ice cream riddled with pistachios, some sort of crumbled cookie, and flavored slightly with rose water. Just do this!
I gotta wrap this up… but you should know that you’re paying for gourmet burgers ($ 10+). Service, food, ambiance, and price are all A++ in my book!

Here for the second time I really want to like this place but it’s just not getting there.
Salty & dry turkey patty. Salty burger. I want to taste the meat but all I taste is salt.
Chips are good. Get the regular not the spicy. Why would you put spicy sauce on your chips? It made the chips wilted and soggy.

Best burger place by far! I had the Mediterranean burger, such amazing, unique flavors. I also tried the homemade spicy chips and the sweet potato chips and they were awesome as well.
The owner made us feel like home and the service staff was very attentive.
El Paso needed a place like this. They also are going to start serving craft beer this weekend, the perfect compliment to these delicious burgers.
I will definitely be back every time I’m in town.

After hearing all the rave reviews about Tutu’s, I decided to stop by. As soon as you walk in, the décor just screamed burger joint. They do also have a car wash, but that process was a little confusing. I drove up to where people were wiping down cars and no one acknowledged/​greeted me. Everyone just stared at me, so I threw it in reverse, parked, and forewent the car wash portion of this experience –no biggie.
The first time I went, I was so surprised at how large the burgers were. I also loved how they present their burgers on a cutting board. It took me a while to finish the burger. What i really like about this place is that they actually do a good job seasoning the beef. Most burger places will rely on the sauces and toppings for the flavor and not put much effort in seasoning the meat. The problem with that is, sometimes I want a plain burger – just meat, cheese, bun and maybe bacon (no toppings) – so if the meat isn’t seasoned, it becomes extremely apparent and its too boring. Also, they don’t have traditional fries, but they do have chips. Regular, spicy and sweet. I tried all of them and I prefer the regular. At first I thought they were just going to season a bag of typical potato chips, but I was wrong. They’re thick chips with great flavor.
Now the second time i went, I was a little disappointed. I went with a Jr burger because I didn’t think i could finish a normal sized burger. This time I wanted it plain with just cheese and bacon. They brought it out and forgot the bacon, which happens all the time, so i didn’t mind that they took took it back to the kitchen. The problem was that they did a lazy job at cooking the bacon and they only put one tiny slice. I didn’t think one tiny undercooked slice of bacon was worth the extra cost. So if I could give this place 3.5 stars, I would have, but I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt.
