Tyler's

The CLASSIC All American Hamburger Stand

Downtown on La Plaza / 149 S. Indian Canyon Drive

760 325 2990

11:00am-4:00pm | Closed Sunday

Lunch

This former little bus depot on the La Plaza has morphed into what is now quite simply the best place in the entire state for that great classic all-American "burger, fries & root beer float experience" - and (thankfully) without any silly high-concept nostalgic hooplah. Just scrumptious tasting food and fast friendly service - a handsdown favorite of both locals and tourists alike...
