A Legacy of Flavor
Now, let’s take a trip down memory lane. Chris Madrid’s first opened its doors off Blanco Road back in 1975, thanks to a local graduate who had just spent four years at the University of Texas. Initially marketed as “Tacos and Burgers,” the shop officially dropped that lengthy name in 1980, setting the stage for its identity as Chris Madrid’s. While the founder, Chris Madrid, sadly passed away in 2012, his spirit lives on in every juicy bite!
After his passing, the burger shop faced significant challenges, including a fire that tore through the building just 45 days later. However, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Chris Madrid’s made a triumphant return in 2019 and proved that their passion for delicious burgers could weather any storm, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Talk about resilience!
