There is one commonly asked question that have left millions clueless: Which has the better burger, Five Guys or In-N-Out?

Both of the famous burgers have put their respected restaurants onto a path to glory. Each of these restaurants have specialties that are uniquely their own and flavors that make your taste buds scream for more.

This question is more serious than life itself and should be answered with intense precision. Both restaurants have completely different backgrounds, yet both have landed in the hall of fame of fast food burgers.

Five Guys started out in 2002 as a small take-out shop in Arlington, Virginia. Founded by a young Jerry Murrell just outside the nation’s capital, Five Guys turned from a small take-out shop to a nationwide chain consisting of over 500 restaurants.

The “Five Guys” in the name include Murrell, the owner, and his four sons. Five Guys has managed to obtain elite status in a relatively short amount of time.

In fact, according to Politics Daily, after President Obama came in for a quick hamburger run, the sales more than doubled in the weeks to follow.

The west coast counterpart to Five Guys, In-N-Out Burger, was founded in 1948 by Harry and Esther Snyder at Baldwin Park, California.

Harry had an idea of a restaurant which provided “drive-thru” services for its customers. As a result, In-N-Out became the world’s first “drive-thru” restaurant. Harry’s idea of a “drive-thru” caught on rapidly and is seen in many fast food restaurants today.

In-N-Out opened a second restaurant in 1951 and has since spread throughout California, Nevada and Arizona. It has become a common favorite for many local burger lovers. In-N-Out has, without a doubt, reserved itself a spot in the burger hall of fame.

MavLife conducted a survey of students to crack open this impossible question: Which has the better burger, In-N-Out or Five Guys?

In-N-Out earned 35 more votes than Five Guys, which earned just 11 votes.

In-N-Out was said by students as “100 times better than Five Guys” said Freshman Kaci Romley.

“Five Guys and In-N-Out are good but Five guys does not compare to In-N-Out,” freshman Kaci Romley said.

So what makes In-N-Out better than Five Guys?

“The sauce, the price, the dank,” senior Collin Myers said.

In-N-Out is also said to have better fries then Five Guys along with the option to buy shakes.

What makes Five Guys a contender to In-N-Out?

“They have size and you can stack them with bacon,” freshman Andre Chan said.

Five Guys also has more locations nationwide than In-N-Out and offers huge sizes, as well as Cajun fries.

It was clear that Five guys, a seemingly worthy contender, was blown out of the soda and got fried by its local competitor. It seems that MavLife discovered where the loyalties of La Costa Canyon’s students lie.

The first restaurant in the investigation was Rudy’s Taco Shop. Rudy’s was on the expensive side for such a poorly scored California burrito. Based on the review, the taste was not very flavorful, but the meat was “perfectly” cooked. The reviewers suggest when you are going to Rudy’s to get a Carne Asada burrito instead.

The second restaurant in the investigation was Roberto’s. Roberto’s was deemed well worth the money, as its flavor had a personality of its own. This California Burrito had a great mix of cheese, golden french fries and an assortment of spices, and comes highly recommended.

Next was Rico’s Taco Shop. Based on the reviews, the California burrito lacked flavor. On top of that, the burrito was pricey and “was a horrible flavor that stuck in your mouth,” according to staffer Julian Sanz. Surprisingly, Rico’s didn’t score anywhere near expectations. Reviewers thought this burrito was an overall waste of money. Reviewers recommend that if you go to Rico’s to order the “Justin” burrito instead.

Jorge’s Mexicatessen earned the highest rating overall, despite its low price. Jorge’s California burrito exceeded all expectations and proved to be authentic and tasty. The food critics said that it was “weak on spices but strong on overall flavor,” and that the mix was a perfect formula of meat, cheese, sour cream and French fries. “If you want to fill up your stomach without emptying your wallet, do it the right way and go to Jorge’s,” said one staffer.

Cotixan’s California had its strengths and weaknesses, but this restaurant offered a twist: salsa fresca on the inside of the burrito instead of sour cream. While scoring well with reviewers, it was suggested you order the Carne Asada burrito instead.

Each restaurant had its own perspective on what Mexican food should be. Although the reviewers only tried one type of burrito, the restaurant’s specialties were apparent. Next time you are looking for a good burrito, you’ll known where to start looking.
