Papi’s Smash Burger, from creator of Livin Comida Loca, is now open in downtown Orlando

From the same mind behind Papi’s Livin Comida Loca food truck is Orlando’s newest over-the-top burger joint, Papi’s Smash Burger.

Papi’s Smash Burger, new from Orlando’s own Chris Hernandez, is now in a soft open in its downtown location. And it’s ready to show up and show out with a unique atmosphere and burger creations made from 100% Florida grass-fed beef — plus a bar stocked with boozy shakes.

Perched on the corner of East Pine Street and South Magnolia Avenue, the spot is adorned with neon lighting and vivid Florida-esque decor to match its equally eye-catching menu items.

The menu isn’t out online yet, but you can check out photos on their Instagram.
