Introduction
As International Hamburger Day approaches on May 28th, Mexico City is gearing up to celebrate with a variety of delectable and well-reviewed burger options. In this article from Bistronomie of El Economista, we embarked on a mission to verify if the top-rated burgers on Google Maps truly live up to their acclaim. Our exploration covered everything from fine dining experiences to innovative vegan options, showcasing the diverse burger scene in Mexico City.
1. Secret Burger – A Hidden Gem with a Flavor Bomb
Location: Anaxágoras 607 int 3 Col. Narvarte
Secret Burger, a discreet yet renowned establishment, serves an explosion of flavor with their “special burger.” This mouthwatering creation features two juicy 110-gram beef patties, fused with a rich blend of cheddar and blue cheese. The house-secret seasoning, accompanied by caramelized onions and tangy pickles, elevates this carnivorous experience to new heights.
2. The Palm – Premium Take on a New York Classic
Location: Campos Elíseos 218, Polanco, CDMX
The Palm, known for its fine cuts of meat, couldn’t resist joining the burger revolution. Their USDA Prime Classic Burger is a testament to luxury with 400 grams of certified beef, nestled in a soft brioche bun and topped with your choice of Swiss, Gouda, cheddar, or the powerful Danish blue cheese. Accompanied by French fries and classic toppings like lettuce, tomato, purple onion, and pickles, every ingredient in this burger has pedigree.
3. Eloise – Sophistication with the Right Amount of Fat
Location: Av. Revolución 1521, Guadalupe Inn, CDMX
Eloise’s Bacon Burger isn’t for the faint-hearted. This carefully constructed ensemble features perfectly cooked Angus beef, oozing American cheddar, peppery arugula, and ripe tomatoes, all nestled in a savory onion bun infused with sesame seeds. This elegant burger delivers comfort food satisfaction without losing its appetite-inducing appeal.
4. Hamburguesas al Carbón La Viga – The Barrio’s Legendary Status
Location: Eje 2 Ote, Calzada de la Viga 1337, El Retoño, Iztapalapa, CDMX
Lacking sophisticated social media presence or Scandinavian decor, Hamburguesas al Carbón La Viga boasts a loyal following who swear by their cheese and bacon burger as otherworldly. The charcoal imparts an unmatched smoky flavor, while the melted cheese and crispy bacon create a street-level symphony of fat, fire, and taste. Be prepared for long lines, as these burgers sell out quickly.
5. Goy’s Plant-Based Burgers – Vegan, but Brutally Delicious
Location: Avenida Michoacán 65, Condesa, CDMX
In the heart of Condesa, Goy’s Plant-Based Burgers proves that plant-based burgers can also evoke sighs of pleasure. Their star is a Beyond Meat-based burger, adorned with two slices of vegan American cheese, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and a secret sauce that packs a punch. Juicy, spiced, and well-balanced, this burger even leaves meat-lovers speechless after the first bite.
