There\u2019s something about home cooking. A meal made by your mom, possibly using a recipe handed down from her mom, and maybe her mom\u2019s mom \u2014\u00a0it just feels like love. That\u2019s what\u2019s happening at Susan\u2019s Burgers N More<\/a> over on the far edge of the Design District.<\/p>\n This small spot serves up burgers (obviously) and more (as advertised). The \u201cmore\u201d includes a lot of Tex-Mex, such as street tacos, burritos and tortas. There are also sandwiches, including ham and cheese, a Philly cheesesteak, grilled chicken and a BLT.\u00a0<\/p>\n This is a family-owned-and-run place<\/a>, and the recipes reflect that. Susan Alvarado worked in restaurants around Dallas before opening this restaurant in December 2021. She wanted to be her own boss, and who can blame her? <\/p>\n I ordered the burrito with beef fajita meat ($10.50) and a bacon cheeseburger ($13.50) with steak fries ($3.75).\u00a0<\/p>\n Sign up for the Food Alerts newsletter to get the latest stories delivered to your inbox<\/p>\n THANK YOU!<\/p>\n You’re all set.<\/p>\n CLOSE\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n A Stand Out<\/p>\n What makes all of this unique is, of course, that the Design District is one of the hot spots for Dallas restaurant real estate. Town Hearth opened its over-the-top steakhouse about a decade ago. Then, out-of-towners like Carbone, the New York City-famous Italian restaurant, converted a warehouse-like space into its bougie restaurant. Delilah from the Hollywood Hills opened early this year with $29 chicken strips<\/a>. Humble local spots like Mama\u2019s Daughters\u2019 Diner, Slow Bone and Susan\u2019s are just down the road, keeping things in check for the lunch-and-dinner crowd that needs a hot plate at a reasonable price. Sleek showrooms and jackets are not required. <\/p>\n The burrito alone is a lot of food. It\u2019s about the size of a footlong sandwich and is stuffed with refried beans, rice, meat, lettuce, and tomatoes on a flour tortilla. And it comes with red and green salsa (the red is just a smidge hotter), which it needs for a punch of heat and to help the interior ingredients, which are a little dry. They grill that tortilla shut, Taco Bell-style, and wham bam, none of your ingredients are falling out.\u00a0<\/p>\n A Burger from the \u201980s<\/p>\n The burger is straight off the grill at my parents\u2019 house in the \u201880s. It is exactly the kind of thick patty my stepdad cooked with the fixings my mom laid out, down to the leafy Romaine lettuce and sliced dill pickles from the jar with that electric green color. The meat hasn\u2019t taken a butter bath in the back before it\u2019s cooked, like at many burger places, which is why I recommend getting mayonnaise and mustard on yours. I am typically a yellow mustard-only person, but this burger needs the extra oil and fat from mayo.<\/p>\n The steak fries are cut thick and coated with spices, with a nice, crispy outside. That said, they were not my cup of tea. The potatoes were a little hard, not giving that mushy interior you want from a steak fry, possibly due to undercooking or an uneven fryer.<\/p>\n![\"a](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Susans-Burrito-Photo-by-Courtney-Smith.jpeg\")
