Although I love Mexican food, don't think that I live on a constant diet of "chiles en nogada", "enchiladas de huitlacoche" and other Mexican dishes. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a good old-fashioned hamburger... and I don't mean McDonalds.
Just a short walk from the apartment there's a burger joint called Ruben's Hamburgers. I've passed it a number of times while walking down Insurgentes Avenue. Finally, I suggested to Alejandro that we should give it a try. We liked the place. The burgers were very good. In fact, a few weeks later we went there again.
The burgers are charcoal grilled, and they are all topped with "ensalada de col" (cole slaw), tomato and pickled onions. On the last visit, I ordered the "clásica" which also has Gouda cheese and bacon.
I looked at their website, and the company boasts of being 100% Mexican. Their first restaurant opened in 1979 in the Pacific beach resort of Zihuantenejo. Today they have 23 branches including 10 in metropolitan Mexico City.
McDonalds eat your heart out!
