The new Mr. Juicy at the corner of West Hildebrand Avenue, across the street from the original Taco Cabana, has already exceeded expectations, with 3,000 patties gobbled up in a single weekend, Weissman said. “We bake our own buns, we hand cut our fries and double blanch them. Everything is homemade, inhouse,” he added. The no-nonsense menu keeps it basic: hamburgers, cheeseburgers or double cheeseburgers with add-ons available, including bacon, mushrooms, fries and egg. Mr. Juicy also is home to the Wet Burger, which adds a specially crafted peppercorn sauce topping. Shake lovers can choose chocolate, caramel, vanilla, peanut butter, strawberry or Nutella. Dessert options are Key lime pie or “House Famous Cookies.” Hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
