SOLID BURGER PLACE FOR MERIDIANS - This burger place lands the fundamentals well. It's a mid size…read moresitdown place with maybe 20 tables, service was good, and the prices were fair. They I think are trying to be the Gourmet Burger style of Merida and in that regard they do a solid job. The burgers we had were pub style, fairly meaty and properly cooked. I prefer a little more char and cheese on mine, also more a smash burger kind of guy, but this place kind of reminds me of Umami Burger in LA if you know them, at least in terms of the burger quality. It's a nice calm place to get a bite with company and worth a try if you're hankering for a nice burger. Happy eating from John Seeto!

Came here after my awful experience at Cantina La Negrita. I must say, that the hospitality and…read moreattention was at its best. Thank God!! I had the Bacon Cheeseburger with Fries and onion cheese rings. The burger was grade a Beef, cooked medium well, and it just melted in my mouth, the cheddar cheese gave me a feel of home in the US, and the bacon and fixings all tasted soooo fresh. I have to admit, the onion rings/mozzarella rings were a succulent twist to two of my favorite fast food go to's. The breading included chia, so the flavors just bursted with each bite. If your looking to have a good ol Burger, and give yourself a break from the Yucatan cultural foods, this place won't disappoint. Just be sure to sit closer to the cashier area, as the place can get a bit hot towards the back. But overall, a great experience overall. Thanks guys.

I really wanted to love this place, but it wasn't meant to be. It was a stone's throw from our…read morehotel room, and my partner had his eye on the steak au poivre on the day we arrived. Four days later, we decided it was time. We stopped in during the late afternoon after a long day of walking around and exploring in the heat. The air conditioning was glorious. We were thrilled to see tinto de verano on the menu, which we haven't had since a trip to Seville. I got an orange soda, too. Both were delicious and refreshing. They told us they were out of the steak au poivre, so my partner got the salmon. I got a mini cheeseburger. We also got an order of fries. The fries were pretty yummy, especially with the house-made ketchup. The salmon was tasty, according to my partner. It wasn't special, but it was fine. I asked for the burger to be medium well. (Note: I usually prefer medium, but I've noticed that lots of restaurants here seem to err on the side of under-done, and I didn't want to risk getting sick while traveling.) The burger was sort of warm on one side, but mostly room temperature at best. It was incredibly greasy. It was also quite red and raw on the inside. I didn't love the mayo on it. It wasn't delicious. I gave up on trying to eat it and just ate the fries. I tried to eat my partner's salad since he didn't love it, but it just tasted meh so I left it alone after a nibble. The experience manager came by to chat and asked how the food was. I shrugged and said it was a little raw, not my favorite. They said it was very obviously underdone when I showed it to them. They offered to re-cook it, but it had already taken so long, and the flavor wasn't to my taste. They said they'd take the French fries off our bill. Odd, since we both devoured the fries, and it was the burger that wasn't touched. All in all, a bit overpriced for a really mediocre experience. At least the drinks were good and the people were nice!

It came out really cold and with a frosted mug. My wife ordered the California burger and I got the classic. Both were petite sizes. We ordered an order of fries with truffle oil. The burgers came out and included fries. We should have asked if anything came with the dish. The truffle fries were good but for me could have used more oil. Our burgers were delicious. Good beef taste and a nice fresh bun. Our waitress was very nice and helpful.

My friend ordered the grilled fish with rice, pickled carrots, onions and sauces. Both were delicious. We also had nice drinks, red wine sangria, and beer. What was perhaps the best feature of the place is the excellent waitstaff who are bilingual, who are helpful with making you feel comfortable, who provide charming conversation and tips, and who are generally well trained in hospitality. Such a far cry from the dour and arrogant wait staff typically found in Washington DC restaurants. This is a good place for a quiet escape from the plaza crowd.
