I don’t even know where to start with Malibu’s Burgers. This place seriously surprised me. The burgers are really good, like shockingly good. If you didn’t tell me it wasn’t meat, I honestly wouldn’t know. The texture is right, the seasoning is on point, and there’s somehow more flavor than a normal burger spot.
The tater tots are to die for. Perfectly crispy, impossible to stop eating. The milkshakes are phenomenal too, thick, creamy, and exactly what you want with a burger and tots. Captain Crunch and cookies and cream are always good.
Overall, this is the kind of place you try once and immediately want to bring friends back to. Whether you’re vegan or not, Malibu’s Burgers is absolutely worth checking out.

My bestie and I were starving and looking for a cool place to eat and didn’t even know that there was a vegan place 2 blocks from my new home! We ran into the owner who was really sweet and shared with us about the gradual shift they will be doing to include animal products in the store. I was a bit hesitant at first but after hearing his commitment to keeping animal meat from cross contaminating with vegan food it really made me feel a lot better. I love the care consideration and compassion Malibu burgers is trying to have as they make some important transitions. Now for the food, it was very flavorful and yummy! Ask for extra crispy fries, and you have to try the area shake, it was vegan and so so good! They seem to have a lot of really great gluten free items too. If you really need a great tasting burger, give it a try

This was just a damn good burger shop from texture, to flavor, to service. The burgers are loaded with all sorts of great things to give you a creative flavor profile, but then everything is plant plant based and much less guilty feeling cause I know it was healthier for me. Highly recommend the breafast burger sandwich and the chicken sandwich.

The cashier (Andrea) was such a homie, she was so kind and helpful, cheery and thoughtful, she answered all my questions with patience wonderful service.
And the food was DELICIOUS, like the burger was charred sooo well and the sauces were amazing, the chef really did a great job! What a great place to eat at

The food here is made with love. I had a long day and was just dragging along to get home. Made a quick stop, and I’m so glad I did.
I ordered the Needy Meaty, and my date (non-vegan) ordered the Patti Mayonnaise Melt. We shared an order of the Bottom Fries.
– The buns were so soft and buttery.
– The caramelized onions are literal heaven, so sweet.
– Lizard sauce is fantastic and tangy.
15/10 would eat here again.

First time we tried Malibu Burgers, the chicken sandwich was great but the signature Malibu Burger was over cooked. We decided to give it a second chance and ordered two burgers, two orders of fries, and a side sauce. Received three burgers that did not include one that we ordered, no side sauce, and very old fries. When we called, we were told that the chef decided to substitute the burger(s) but no one thought to contact us, and there was no explanation for the missing sauce. There are very few vegan spots in Oakland, so this was incredibly disappointing. Certainly seems like a service issue rather than a product issue. Hope they get it together as we’d like to see them succeed.

Love this place. The food is consistently good and I always enjoy the shakes which are vegan but you honestly wouldn’t know. Everyone I take here loves the energy and laid back vibe. Just grab a table and enjoy a bite. You can also tell the owner cares about providing a quality experience. In every location, from their days making burgers on a bus to their previous location it’s been about quality and customer service in the community. I recommend!

Facebook feed said today that being a vegan being part of the world’s biggest family and I am glad to share the vegan family experience with y’alls. They will also share restaurant space with Fungi Foods so we can indulge in deep fried battered mushroom items that most people aren’t going to make at home with all the setup involved. I’m sitting outside. I have to try a shake next time I come here. I should venture out and get other items. I really like the La Lulu chick’n sandwich. The fries are crinkle fries. Come on 6% of the population. Forgive my bites in the photos. I wanted to show a realistic side view of the chick’n sandwich.

100% vegan burger shop in Oakland with plenty of indoor seating. As a vegan, I’m so glad that this place exists! It’s situated in a nice, upscale-feeling neighborhood that’s well-lit and busy at night.
I got a double Ghost Town burger and a cookies and creme shake on the side. The burger tasted good, but mine was missing the onion rings, which I honestly felt a small pang of disappointment about (since I specifically came here to see the novelty of an an extremely stacked burger), but it’s also a bit on me since I was too socially awkward to ask the server about it. Nevertheless the burger was good and filling.
Also the cookies and creme shake was excellent! The size is smallish but the quality is great. Would definitely come back again for the shakes!
For dine-in, the tray doesn’t come with liner – so maybe line it with napkins and get utensils before eating, since the large burgers can get messy and fall apart near the end.

Had to try it again just off the strength of the family. I love Casa la Borinquena & I want to support black businesses, especially vegan ones My last experience wasn’t the best & I wasn’t being fair with my review tbh. For that I do apologize & I really hope this family stays in business. Will be coming back for sure, anytime I am in the mood for burger & fries. Plus it’s local & convenient for me which is great!
