I agree with Carla C. that this is a wonderful burger - each of the three of us had a different…read moreone, and each was superb. The beef was juicy and flavorful, and cooked precisely "al punt" (Catalán for medium rare). Although the menus were only in Castilian Spanish and in Catalán (hey - it IS Catalonia, after all!) there were examples of each of the bun types at the order counter. The fries were also THAT GOOD. Better than most I've had since arriving here five years ago. Just sayin.' The beer selection was adequate, but could be much broader. Only two things kept me from giving them that elusive fifth star... the waitstaff and the dessert. Our wait person refused to honor a request for a "La Pequeburg" for my wife. She insisted this was for kids ONLY, although it said nothing of the sort on the menu. Despite my wife having a peckish appetite at the time, all I got was a cup full of NO from the server. NO. No. (sigh...) My wife also wanted an infusion (tea or herbal). Nope. If you don't want beet, you have to choose from water, high sugar soft drinks, or fruit juice with sugar added. Management may really want to look into these choices. Dessert - we shared what was allegedly tiramisu. I realize there are almost as many tiramisu recipes as there are restaurants in Barcelona, and they all have SOME amount of coffee in them - whether sprinkled on top in powdered form or whatever. THIS tiramisu, however, had ZERO coffee. It was nicely sprinkled with powdered cocoa, but... well... I'd better stop before I dock them another star. Bottom line: The hamburgers and fries were superb, but the rest was... meh.

One of the best burgers I've ever had in Barcelona. They have a wide selection of burgers with…read moredifferent kinds of flavours and you can switch them up by choosing chicken, kobe or organic meat instead of the regular burger meat. You can also decide what bread you want. I think it's the only place her you can eat Piri piri chicken so that was also a plus! I had a Route 66 burger with regular meat and loved it! Very tasty and felt so light. It tasted way less greasy than all the other burgers I've had. The fries are as yummy as the burgers! I'm a huge fan now.

Bacoa is a chain throughout Barcelona and they'll give you a reliably tasty burger without a major…read moretime investment. A burger and fries will slay nearly any hunger, so you'll get your money's worth. Something I love about Bacoa is that they have these little ordering pamphlets in many languages. Select the one that's right for you and fill in the bubbles, scan-tron-style, to alert the staff what you'd like to order. They make it fresh, so you will have to wait longer than McDonald's, but the taste benefits are worth it. I got the Bacoa burger and it was outstanding. I also love that they have hand-made hot sauce in bottles on the tables. It's a surefire way to give your fries a powerful picante punch. If you've tired of tapas and you're craving a taste of the good ol' U-S-of-A, find your nearest Bacoa and enjoy a fantastic burger. You'll walk away satisfied.

This place is attractive with a long line, guaranteed fresh beef, and homemade sauces. You also bubble in what burger you want, type of sauces & extras, and the type of potato sides you'd like. We waited about 45 min in total from end of line to getting our food. Not worth the wait.. The burger itself was good, pink tinged inside and charred on the outside. The classic white bun is too thick in my opinion, too much bun to meat ratio. The French fries were mediocre, too well done and not fluffy enough. Note to self: do not try a burger spot just out of curiosity- better to stick with the food specialty of the country.

After a period of eating all the Spanish food, a fella could really go for a burger. So, I typed…read moresome information into my handy-dandy Yelp app and I was soon at La Informal and ready to sit down to a decidedly-American burger, fries and beer. When I happened upon La Informal, I was surprised to find it empty. It's in a good location in a trendy neighborhood. I have to imagine that Monday nights aren't the busiest for them. All the better for me. I liked having the place to myself. The process is fairly easy: walk up to the counter, peruse to the menu, ask for suggestions, order, pay, get a number, take a number, sit down, and wait for delicious food to be brought to you. The woman who waited on me spoke excellent English but I chose to speak in Spanish. Why should she cater to me? I'm in her country. I shouldn't have been so in my head. I don't know whether it was for my benefit or how they roll at La Informal but during my stay, I listened to Beyonce, Usher, Bruno Mars, and other English-singing hitmakers. I loved the playlist. It definitely put me in the mood for my meal. My beer was ready first. Again, since I was in Barcelona, I had to have an Estrella. When paired with a burger and fries, the beer was a great match. I tried to sip it slow so as to enjoy the bulk of my beverage with my meal. I didn't need to worry too much about it because my food was made (to order) quickly. I can get used to this. I ordered the Blue Burger without mayonnaise (it's everywhere... like cockroaches). As you might imagine, the star of the Blue Burger is bleu cheese. As you might not imagine, it's gigantic. I was duly impressed by the size of my burger. This was not a flat, sad patty. This was a sandwich to be respected. Also respectable, my CONE of fries. Yep, cone. I think I prefer my fries served/delivered in a conical receptacle. They were well-seasoned, medium-cut and extremely plentiful. My plate ranneth over with fries. Between the service, music and food, La Informal was one of my more enjoyable meals in Barcelona. Does that mean I'm an ugly American or does that mean that they serve really delicious food you should make sure you eat while in the City of Counts? I'm going with option B.

Got the nigiri which comes with two pieces. The truffle was good but way too much rice for the rice to meat ratio. The Matrimonio was a new item with anchovies with jam on ciabatta crostini's but just wasn't my jam. Ceviche was probably the best thing we had that evening. It's made with sea bass, corn, and red onions. We're used to ceviche being served with tortilla chips or plantain chips but this wasn't served with anything so we saved our crostini's and used those to accompany the ceviche. The foie gras and tenderloin was bland and really nothing that stood out. We were looking forward to trying them too. Overall, an okay place to dine if you're in the area but not anything I'd seek out.
