[GIVEAWAY] The Habit Burger Grill Brings Back The Jalapeño Tempura Charburger!

Kevin and I recently went to the Habit Burger across from CSUF a few weeks ago to try their new Jalapeño Tempura Charburger! Okay, actually it's not a new burger but apparently an old fan favorite that they are bringing back for May only! (Try it before it's too late!)

*Note: We were invited as media guests to try the new burger. No worries though, all opinions are our own and will not be swayed!

Kevin and I both made it a habit, to go to the Habit. LOL Okay we honestly really like this place and think it is better than In N Out because the patties are bigger and juicier for just another buck more compared to In N Out! It's not that expensive for more choices! But of course, In N Out is always a California Classic to us. 

Anyway, what we usually get is charburger, tri tip sandwich [so good!] or the mushroom swiss [my personal fave because I looooooooove mushrooms!]. 

This time, we had to try their limited time burger of the month: Jalapeño Tempura Charburger! It basically is the charburger with fried Jalapeños added! We also ordered onion rings too. Kevin doesn't like onions or onion rings... but the onion rings here at the Habit are actually really good and crispy! I prefer it over their fries. (I like In N Out fries extra crispy better!)

When I made him take cute-sy photos with me... hehe...

What exactly is in this burger?
Crispy tempura battered jalapenos, spicy jalapeno ranch mustard, cheese, lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and pickles on a toasted sesame seed bun.


Jalapeño Tempura Charburger Review:
We were so excited, but unfortunately were left a bit underwhelmed. I really like the spicy jalapeno ranch mustard sauce. It had a slight kick to it and added a nice spicy flavor to the overall burger. However, I felt like the amount of tempura fried jalapenos was... well nothing to rave about. I had maybe like 3 or 4 fried Jalapenos? But the problem is even though they are fried, they end up being soggy and aren't crispy anymore from being squished inside the burger with the juiciness of the patty and the sauces. I think, maybe it should be fried.... longer? For more crispiness? I don't know. And another thing... I found it to me more flavorful by adding my own jalapenos from the toppings bar [that is free! Woo!] to my burger. Although they aren't fried, at least I could add more jalapeno flavor to it. And because of this, it might not justify the $4.99 price of the burger when a charburger with added (free) jalapenos is only around $3.

Overall, I would probably just stick to my usual which is the Charburger with cheese. I already add a ton of jalapenos to it too which is free from their toppings bar! It's cheaper and you kinda get the same effect except  for that oh so delicious spicy jalapeno ranch mustard sauce. I wonder if we could ask for that sauce on the side... or substitute that sauce... HMMMM....



BUT DON'T JUST TAKE IT FOR ME! IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN TRYING THE NEW JALAPENO TEMPURA CHARBURGER YOURSELF, GET INTO THE HABIT BY MAY 30!
