Fresh local ingredients, great service, and supporting our community, and flavors that are tasty.

“There are just 12 stools in the new Vinton eatery where beloved Angelo’s Restaurant stood for 30 years. Yet — even though FarmBurguesa’s official opening is not until July 24 — every one of them is full.

Plus, there’s a takeout line four orders deep.

Jimmy Delgado, co-owner and grill master, doesn’t let the crowds shake him. He’s been testing the waters for his burger joint for about a week now and he knows what he has to do: flatten and flip the fist-sized balls of Virginia-raised beef, sizzle the waffle fries, toast the buns.

FarmBurguesa’s menu is fun — a choice of eight of burgers — including a black bean burger and a beef patty served between two plantains instead of bread. The decor is rustic: walls painted like a red barn with steel windmill blades and utensil baskets as accents.

The customers are patient and appreciative. And the concept is tight: as much local food as they can manage from the meat to the tomatoes to the cilantro. Burgers with an international flair — topped with green tomatoes and pineapple sauce, or chili mix and diablo sauce, or Roma tomatoes and basil pesto.”
