Flavor.

Without any doubts the flavor of his iconic burger the Chemita Burger is unbelievable. The quality of meat and the love they put in each one of their ingredients makes the Chemita Burger the best in the whole city.  The dish comes along with the meat juice for it to be poured over the meat of the hamburger or fries. The Juicy Burger consists of a burger with the meat filled with cheese, alongside with the same great ingredients of a great burger.

Experience

Since the moment you arrive to the parking lot you see the valet parking instantly, they open your door and receive you with a big smile. The exterior design of the place is mysterious, it looks like a night-club. At the parking lot in the front you can see luxury cars, that upgrade the sight of the local. I saw a few celebrities while in there. When I entered the host received us kindly, you will that they want you to be there. I love rock and for me the music was a its finest point. The way they present their dishes intrigue me every time they arrived.

Service.

The service in there was excellent. Valet parking as I said previously was fast and efficient . The host gave us a table at the instant with a smile in his face. In the restroom they offer a variety of soaps and hand lotions along with a variety of artesanal candies, also there was a kind lady who offered you the soap and the towels. The waiter took his time while arriving to the table , but he had a great personality so that did not bother me at all.  They gave us the food in an appropriate amount of time ,as good burgers are known to be made with love and patience. At the end the host offer us some spicy candy that was delightful.

Hygiene

The hygiene in the restaurant was very good. Nothing to complain about, just the table are made from a rare consistency that when you put something humid over it remains marked, so if you spoil catsup , soda, etc , it will remain a stain. Restrooms were at its high state of clean.

They offer a variety Beer, Cocktails, Corkage Fee, Counter Seating, Full Bar, Non-Smoking, Outdoor dining, Wheelchair Access, Wine, etc

Fry-game

Fries came along with the burger , which is nice. At the time I taste it recognized that the fries had been fried in truffle oil, which for me was a pretty awesome idea, because I have tasted many truffle fries in several restaurants, but they put the truffle condiment on top of the fries , but not cooked with it, so they omitted an uneccesary thing in their fries. The fry game was quite good as the fries were crunchy enough , but not hard, they were on point.

Price

The price for the Chemita Burger was 450 pesos, along with a 40 pesos lemonade without refill I order with it. I think it is quite expensive , and only truly burger lovers would dare to buy. I think that if they lowered their prices national recognition could be achieved. The good thing with the price of the Chemita Burger was that it included fries, which for me is a big deal for the burger to have. The lemonade should had refill, as you usually wait 15-30 minutes for your order to come you can easily drink 1 or 2 plus the one you drink while you are eating. Some people will raciónate his or her drink as no refill is included, at the same time reducing their meal experience.
