Jewboy Burgers was founded in 2016 by Mo Pittle, who grew up Jewish in El Paso, Texas, where he was nicknamed “El JewBoy” in his bicultural community. The restaurant fuses two culinary traditions he grew up with: the US/Mexico Border cuisine of El Paso (Hatch green chile, burritos, picadillo, barbacoa) and Reform Jewish comfort food (potato latkes, pastrami, schmaltz, Hebrew National hot dogs). The result is a menu unlike any other in Austin -- or anywhere else.

The Jewboy Cheeseburger (The Jewboy) is the foundational item and most-ordered burger -- a 1/3 lb hand-smashed patty double-cheesed on a Martin's potato roll with lettuce, pickles and mustard, priced around $13. The Yenta (topped with a crispy potato latke) is the most photographed item. The Oy Vay Guey (Hatch green chile and pepper jack) is the signature Border-fusion burger. All three are widely recommended by reviewers.

Latkes are traditional Jewish potato pancakes -- shredded potato mixed with onion and egg, then pan- or deep-fried until crispy. They are associated with Hanukkah but eaten year-round in Jewish cooking. At Jewboy Burgers, latkes are a signature item because owner Mo Pittle grew up with them as a staple of his Jewish heritage. The restaurant serves them both as a standalone side (Bubbe's Original Latkes from $8, Hatch Green Chile and Cheddar Latkes $9) and as a burger topping on The Yenta ($13) and as the “buns” on The Mensch ($13).

Yes. Vegetarian-friendly items include the Bean and Cheese Burrito ($4) (made with refried beans and cheese -- confirm no meat is added), both Latke options ($8–$9), Crinkle Cut Fries ($5), Tater Tots ($5), Onion Rings ($6), and Refried Beans ($5). The queso and guacamole in the Homeboy Chile Con Queso can be eaten vegetarian if you ask for the queso without ground beef. The menu is not primarily vegetarian, but there are solid non-meat options.

Burgers run $13–$14 for most options; the chicken sandwich is $10 and burritos range from $4 (bean and cheese) to $12 (barbacoa). Hot dogs are $7. Sides (fries, tots, latkes) are $5–$9. A typical meal -- burger plus a side -- runs $18–$22 before drinks and tax. Multiple reviewers note the average tab is under $30 per person.

Hatch green chile is a variety of roasted chile pepper grown in the Hatch Valley of New Mexico -- a staple ingredient in the food culture of the US/Mexico Border region where owner Mo Pittle grew up in El Paso. It has a distinctive roasted, mildly spicy, slightly smoky flavor. At Jewboy Burgers, Hatch green chile appears throughout the menu: on the Oy Vay Guey burger, The A$$hole From El Paso, the Hatch Green Chile and Cheddar Latkes, and in the refried beans. It is one of the three signature flavor pillars of the menu alongside queso and latkes.
