Las Vegas has more than earned its beef reputation. Our smashburger joints have all but taken over, and high-end gourmet burgers still shatter expectations. But Henderson’s Aztec Burgers operates in a league of its own.
The Mexican-American fusion restaurant took over the former Fat Boy burger space on West Horizon Ridge Parkway in late 2024. Since then, it’s had time to really dial in its menu. Aztec serves everything from smashburgers to chili cheese dogs and fries, but its signature Angus beef burgers are where the Mexican inspiration comes through.
The Chilaquiles Burger ($13) might sound outlandish (it’s basically brunch on a bun), but it works. The beef patty is perfectly seared, with tortilla chips tossed in tangy salsa verde and Mexican crema. The fried egg on top drives the concept home—and all the way into your mouth. The fan favorite Aztec Burger ($13) takes a simpler approach, but the burger’s secret house spread, paired with a pair of cheddar sausage links, hits just as hard.
And it only gets tastier from there: There’s the chorizo burger ($12), a fajita burger ($12) loaded with Chihuahua and American cheese, a BBQ Bacon Burger ($13) and more. Aztec even has its own Philly cheesesteak ($13) and a California chicken sandwich ($12) with hatch chilies. Smashburger lovers can also get the best of both worlds with the Half & Half Smashed ($13), a double helping of chorizo and Angus beef with munster cheese and jalapeños. With great beef and bold flavors, Aztec Burgers gets the fundamentals of fusion right.
AZTEC BURGERS 1570 W. Horizon Ridge Parkway #160, 725-204-5528. Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-7 p.m.; Saturday-Sunday,11 a.m.-7 p.m.
