Hankering for a Hamburger

Great hamburgers are hard to come by here in this part of Mexico, so we're always on the lookout for new places to try. Well, we finally stopped at this burger shack - TajOH Burgers. It really is a shack! Kind of reminds me of the burger place on hwy 400 heading up to cottage country in Ontario. Only this one is on the side of a major road just before you turn to go to the new Costco in Guadalajara.

Ambiance is what I would call rustic. Plastic lawn chairs and old wooden wire spools for tables setup under large shade trees. But we're not here for ambiance, we're here for burgers!!!

Once you step out of the car, you're greeted with the wonderful aroma of burgers on the grill. Their burger offerings are skirt steak, sirloin, chicken breast, ostrich, vegetarian, shrimp and a double burger. Cheese, bacon and pineapple are extra. Then there is ....



"Hot Drugs" plain or with bacon! I didn't dare order any in case it was a setup. I don't want to end up in a Mexican jail. So we settled for 2 skirt steak, 1 sirloin, an order of potato wedges and an auga fresca. Burgers were made to order and we were given our fries and drinks first while we waited. The fries were nothing to write home about. Actually, I'd advise against ordering them.

After what seemed like forever, our number was called to pick up our burgers. They had a condiments bar with caramelized onions, mushrooms, lettuce, pickled jalapeño peppers, raw onions, tomatoes sliced or diced, ketchup, mustard, mayo, olives and I don't really remember what else that you can load onto your burger.

Did we enjoy them?






Oh Yeah!
