Staying at the Iberostar for 8 nights, we were sick of resort food. The buffet was awful and tasteless. We decided to venture into town to try and get some real food to prep us for heading home. On our last night, 8/20, we went to the Texas Burger Co.
First let's talk about the service. The hostess was fine, friendly, and took us to our seats and informed us of some great deals. Juan was our waiter and he was very nice and sincere and did a great job catering to us. There were two other people involved as well. One guy who came by and literally took napkins out of our hand after every use, and another who brought the food. WAY too many people involved in the process, but they were all pleasant so it was OK.
We sat indoor in the AC. The indoor seating is limited and most is outdoor. The bar area is nice and the place looks nice and modern.
The food:
First we ordered a special, buffalo wings and 4 drinks (soda, water, cocktail, or draft beer) for only 169 pesos. Without the 4 drinks it would've been 145, so for 2$ usd extra you get 4 drinks. Pretty awesome deal. The wings were huge and not normal looking but were very good. They also came with blue cheese and carrots, celery, and sliced cucumber which was a nice touch.
The four drinks we chose were 2 diet cokes, a bottle of water, and a house sangria. With free drinks all week long we didn't take much advantage here. The sangria was good.
For the entrees, my girlfriend ordered the smokehouse burger and did not specify how she would like it cooked. When it was delivered she was not impressed with the BBQ aspect, however it was better than anything at the resort and the fries were quite good as well. She was very happy with her burger. I ordered the Big Boy burger and specified medium. I should've kept my mouth shut. The food looked good the first bite but halfway through I started to hear it MOO. Still I figured if I die eating this it tastes better than anything I've had the last week so what the heck. Disappointed on the temperature but still pretty good. Patties are frozen and not made in house which is disappointing, however each burger has Gouda cheese which I am not used to on a burger and thoroughly enjoyed.
Overall I would've given this place a 3.5. Food has potential for the area however not impressed with the undercooking. Juan was a great waiter.
Also, if you see Servicio Sugerido that is the same thing as Propina, aka TIP, which is automatically added. The total was around $50 us which is expensive for a lunch in Mexico. Had we gotten 4 cocktails it might've lessened the blow. If we come back to PDC, I would come back for the wings and fries, and maybe a burger well done if I were craving some decent food. read more
