Hamburgers are the most representative of fast food. This is due in part to a certain restaurant chain whose golden arches have lit the path to a perfectly standardized version that can be served quickly, constantly, and consistently. But the beauty of a burger lies in its simplicity, with thousands of other restaurants serving their versions from the classic to the creatively extravagant.
The burger offer in CDMX ranges from charbroiled at street stalls to exclusive restaurants using top quality meat. Here are some delicious options, the first of several installments, dedicated to this all time classic.
El Gnomo
This small and cozy family restaurant with more than 40 years behind it offers simple and classic burgers – no need for extravagant toppings or experimentation on the tried and true. El Gnomo is a perfect example of simplicity, good taste, and excellent service.
