My Family and I would like to
THANK YOU for your support!
Established in 2009
American Burger was started in August of 2009 by the Miguel family. Prior to this, the Miguels ran a Mexican restaurant before recognizing the need for a high-quality, easy-going burger joint on Lighthouse. Proud immigrants from El Salvador, they named the new restaurant "American Burger" in honor of their own pursuit of the American entrepreneurial dream.
Meet the Business Owner: Jose Miguel and Family.
My family moved to the United States from El Salvador when I was young and we have been working hard to own our own business ever since. I have been working in the restaurant business for years now because I love making people smile.
American Burger is my piece of the American Dream. I hope you come in and try us out.
We look forward to being part of the Monterey landscape for many years to come and we are eager to meet you and your families. Have a great day!
Jose Miguel
