A BADD STORY

Badd Burgers is an Austin-based burger pop-up founded by two longtime friends with deep roots in the service industry.

Tommy Marquez is a former tech marketer who left the startup world to pursue a career in food. He worked his way through both traditional and vegan kitchens before launching one of Austin’s most talked-about taco trucks—earning a reputation for bold flavors and a loyal following.

Joe Flores is a bartender and flavor obsessive with a background in plant-based living. His perspective brings creativity, balance, and a darker edge to the Badd vision.

Together, they created Badd Burgers with one goal:

to serve bold, unforgettable burgers—meat and vegan alike—without compromising on flavor or identity.

Launching Fall 2025, Badd Burgers is more than a pop-up—it’s a tribute to craft, culture, and the chaos that drives great food.
