Return to La Burger

We picked up the kids from school today for our planned weekend trip to Guanajuato. But first, we just HAD to return to La Burger, one of the best hamburger places we've ever been to. It's sort of a gourmet In 'n Out, with just burgers, steaks, fries, empanadas and some veggie burger options.

Like before, Sue, Laurel and I got burgers, and Bryce (the future vegetarian) got Empanadas, all of which were amazingly good. This time, I made a point of introducing myself to Walter, the owner. Walter is from Chile, and has had this La Burger open for just six weeks. His other La Burger is in Chile, and is now being operated by his sister. South Americans really know their steak, and the San Miguel branch imports all their meats from the USA. The mesquite grill is the centerpiece of the restaurant. It's a really simple system, but it totally works.

The owner of Landeta, a high end Italian restaurant just outside of town, owns the land upon which La Burger sits, and he is planning to move his restaurant next to La Burger. I guess the idea is to make a gourmet food court of sorts. Sounds like a great idea to me.

Now we're off to Guanajuato...
