Holy Cow! It was freezing today (feels like -1f), and yet our group decided to take the 45 minute…read morewalk to try out this new burger joint.
Cute name, cute website, cute burgers. When you go to the website, you're greeted by a little Che Guevara cow holding a spatula and a fork, inviting you to join the fast food revolution. I'm not sure what that's about, but the website is fairly in tune with the ambiance of the restaurant. There are comic cow paintings on the walls, a hilly pasture painted onto the counter, and friendly servers who will deliver your burgers to your table.
There's an extensive menu of creative burgers, and I had the Mexicana burger - a beef patty, swiss cheese, chorizo, red bean salsa, avocado mash, and hot chili. I was wondering how they would fit all of that in a single burger--it turns out, they use a humongous bun, even under American standards. I got the "menu" menu (a "menu" menu is essentially a "meal" menu that includes fries and a drink, but I like saying "menu" menu), and the fries were so thickly cut that they almost make the burger look normal-sized in the photo.
The burger came together pretty well, but you can't really go wrong with those ingredients. The bun was OK but not anything above standard (except for its size), and the beef patty was a bit dry and crumbly for my taste. The chorizo was a flat sheet of round sausage that tasted OK but had a rubbery texture. The hot chili was actually really spicy, and had me gasping a little bit for air. It was a fun burger to eat, overall, but probably not the best quality of ingredients.
I also had a fountain drink (cassis?), which I was told was made in-house, but it was a little sweet for my taste.
I'd recommend a go if you haven't been, but it probably wouldn't end up becoming a favorite hangout or anything of that sort. Probably a good place to grab a pre-movie bite, though.
