Islands Burgers Happy Hour

Have you ever been to Islands Burgers for Happy Hour? It's a great local neighborhood spot to grab a drink, a bite and catch up with friends. Our closest locations are in Mira Mesa and Carmel Mountain Ranch. We were offered a tasting of their new happy hour menu so I took my madre and the kiddos last week. We had a fun time and enjoyed the new fare.

I was super happy to see the mojito on their Happy Hour menu. It is only $4.39 for this tasty cocktail. My madre got the Mai Tai which was a bit too strong for her. The nice bartender generously doctor'd it up with some lemonade to calm down the bite and it was good to go after that. We ordered the fresh cut island fries with cheese and the Beachside sliders for our appetizers. Cheesy fries are oh so tasty especially with a cocktail in hand. The sliders were pretty good too. My kiddo ate up those shoestring fried onions like they were going out of style. Seriously a 3 year old, eating onions. Who knew.

I had the fish tacos and my mom had the hoisin bowl for dinner. The kiddo got chicken tenders with pineapple and dipping sauce. We all enjoyed our entrees but the drinks and appetizers would have been plenty. I didn't realize how big the sliders and fries would be. The little missy ate up that pineapple super fast also.
