Quick Review: 100 Pesos Burger (Del Valle Norte, CDMX)

In the 4 years we have been living in Del Valle Centro this is at least the 3rd incarnation of the location @ Pedro Romero de Terreros and Avenida Coyoacán. First I recall was an Italian / Pizza place that wasn't bad. Then it became a kids clothing store that might also have sold ice cream. Now it's 100 Pesos Burger. Storefront got my attention while under construction as I was walking by what feels like just a couple weeks ago, but I see it already has ~100 reviews.

We reviewed the menu, placed our order, and grabbed a table outside.

Menu is pretty simple.

Do you want a 100g sencilla for 100 pesos or a 200g doble for 150 pesos?

Do you want the default, which is that it comes with everything?

Everything includes ...
Papatinas (potato sticks ... is this becoming a thing? Saw this on the Burger King menu in Lima, but as papas al hilo. Ordered by accident thinking it might be Peruvian spanish for papas a la francesa. Disappointing.)
Jalapeños
Pepinillos
Cebolla
Aderezo
Mostaza
Ketchup
Queso

Maybe a side of papas a la francesa (clearly labeled)?

Do you want one of the 3 aguas de sabores (Fresa, Limon, Chia ... I think?), or a Carta Blanca? All beverages were 50 pesos if I recall correctly. Saw a lot of tables with Carta Blancas on them. Kinda hipster, akin to Mexico's answer to PBR. Don't get me wrong, great value mainstream economy beer that I was enjoying regularly a few years ago. But it's a hipster choice.

Then go wait for your burger. Noticed that the crowd was young and ostensibly cool. The coolification of Del Valle continues apace.

Service was friendly an very much on top of things. Got our order pretty quick. We both went for the dobles.

Para tomar I got the agua limón, Judy went for fresa. Both decent. By comparison, though, the pepino agua we got Sunday at Judy's favorite shrimp taco joint was superior (and 10 pesos less).

I went with everything except the potato sticks. Get outta here with that. They also had a bit of a pepper bar inside, featuring more pickles and jalapeños if you need them. Standard pickle and pepper load turned out to be sufficient.

Burger was tasty. One thing I wouldn't do next time is use the 'salsa de pimienta' (literally, pepper sauce). Wasn't terrible, but I over applied it. Might BYO some hot sauce next time. Or see if I could get extra onions. But it was good.

All told the tab was $450. Two dobles @ $150 c/u. Two aguas @ 50 c/u. And the side of fries for another $50. Fries were pretty great, actually. Crispy, airy, not oily.
