Year after year, May 28th is celebrated as one of the most anticipated days of the year: the Burger Day! And there’s no better way to pay homage to this dish than by visiting some of the most delicious and creative places in CDMX. From classic proposals to creations with surprising ingredients, here’s a tour of restaurants that will make this day dedicated to burgers memorable. 

It’s worth mentioning that although Mexicans love tacos and snacks, burgers also hold a special place in our hearts and on our palates. So much so that we prepare them on the grill, add fried chilies, dress them with sauces, and even put Mexican cheeses on them. Celebrate Burger Day with these 5 options!

For more than 20 years, Barrio Sur has been located in the San Ángel Inn neighborhood, an old house with a characteristic colonial style that, through its aromas and flavors, manages to transport you to a little corner of Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. You can enjoy their delicious Parri-Burger, a burger made with grilled filet, with homemade artisan bread, Swiss cheese, arugula, tomato, and caramelized onions, accompanied by French fries.

5. Brew Brew

Brew Brew, a space with breakfasts all day and a coffee bar that also has cocktail options. This project started in Roma as a place to eat well while being comfortable, and quickly became one of the favorites for breakfast, brunch, and working from home. 

Although Burger Day is usually reserved for the classics of bread, meat, and cheese, this year we suggest celebrating with a delicious twist: the waffle sandwich from Brew Brew Café. This original alternative reimagines the burger experience by replacing traditional bread with fluffy, golden waffles. Inside, ham, manchego cheese, bacon, egg, and a touch of mayonnaise. 

It’s the perfect combination of sweet and savory, ideal for those looking to step out of the ordinary without losing the spirit of the celebration. Because sometimes, the best burgers… aren’t even called burgers.
