Mista Boiga

What is Mista Boiga? Taking over the former Big Trouble Pizza outpost at 191 Geary Avenue, Mista Boiga is founder Eddie Chan’s full-throttle commitment to the smash burger craft. The space channels the stripped-back, industrial character native to the Geary strip, outfitted with counter service, casual seating, and the steady sizzle of a blistering flat-top griddle. It is a focused, neighbourhood-driven counter operation designed for quick sit-downs and swift takeout.

Mista Boiga Menu & What to Order The concise menu revolves around lacy, ultra-crispy smash patties ground fresh from local purveyor The Butcher’s Son. First-timers should anchor with the Classic OG for a balanced stack of American cheese, pickles, shredded lettuce, and house burger sauce on a squishy potato roll. The true standout is the Gaucho Melt, an Argentinian provoleta-inspired creation loaded with flame-torched cheese, chimichurri, and garlicky aioli, while the Kwispy Wanch delivers sharp heat and texture via pickled jalapeños, crispy onions, and tangy ranch. Round out your tray with hot, seasoned fries and an ice-cold craft soda.

Know Before You Go Service is strictly counter walk-in only, with no reservations taken. Geary can see steady lines during peak weekend dinner rushes, though the griddle moves fast. Street parking is available along Geary Avenue, or you can hop off the TTC Dufferin 29 bus at Dupont Street and walk a couple of blocks north; note the shop is closed on Mondays.
