Smashed Up is a pop up burger spot in the city of Whittier. Operating only Friday nights from 8:30 pm to 1:30 am or untill they sell out. Owners Chris Villaseñor and Isaac Huerta run the stand alone in Villaseñor’s backyard . The two men running the stand are very professional and have great customer service making sure every customer’s meal is served to the best quality possible.
The menu consists of juicy burgers, crispy tater tots, handspun shakes, with refreshing sodas and lemonades as well. All burgers have options such as fried mustard, grilled onions, pickles and chilis free of charge. Their menu also includes specialty items such as loaded tots with cheese, their own special dressing and grilled onions or their new Cali burger with avocado, bacon, and tots in the burger.
Going on their fifteenth week of business selling out of burgers almost every time however, last Friday the 15th seemed to be one of the busier nights with 150 Burgers, 25 shakes and 30 tots all sold before midnight. Though there is a wait time the burgers and/or tots will have you understanding why.
When asking owner Villaseñor why he started the stand he said “i really wanted to revive the late night cuisine here in Whittier especially for those who aren’t 21 and still like to go out with friends”. And he did exactly that with great music, tables and chairs, and a gaming system set up for customers. For the address direct message and follow @smashedupburgs on instagram.
