New guy in La Paz - WTF Burgers??
There's a new burger in town. I know what you're thinking but the owner sez it stands for "where's the food" - OK? Anyway we ate there yesterday and
give it two thumbs up. It is right next to, and an operational part of, Palermos on the malecon. You will be told the burgers are made from "Kobe"
beef which, of course, they are not. Kobe like or Kobe type OK, not the real deal. Anyway the beef is excellent and we ordered medio rojo which is
exactly what we got. All orders come with either regular fries or sweet potato fries. Both were excellent and the cook understands his fries.
Basically you have two choices, a plain hamburger or a cheeseburger. There are other choices but are pretty much just a massage of the name to pimp
you out of some extra cash. We also ordered onion rings which were just so-so and served on a ridiculous stand to make it a Christmas tree
presentation. Kinda hokey and over cooked. They claim the buns are imported frozen from La Brea bakery in LA. Excellent buns for Mexico. The
only hitch here is the money. This is pretty much about a twelve dollar burger which is bouncing off the ceiling of our budget for lunch. BTW the
cheese is also excellent but at 40 pesos more for the cheeseburger you're paying over three bucks for cheese! Anyway if you're willing to drop about
thirty+ bucks on lunch you won't come away hungry.

Oh that's a good chuckle but to be honest there are quite a number of new restaurants in La Paz serving burgers in the ten buck range. Some of them
are really bad too. I featured this one because the burger was super albeit caro.

can get the same treatment here in the US without having to go all the way south.
Why get excited about a burger in Baja?

Perhaps because some of us live in Baja and like a good burger without having to go all the way north.
Thanks for the review Weebray!

Maybe the overpriced place next door makes them believe they can get that kind of price for a burger.
My advise: stick with the Shack. Great burger for about $ 9.00, big enough to feed 2 people.

This just in. During the month of Aug. you get 20% off at WTF if you say you are a member of the La Paz gringo's forum on Yahoo. I am not a member,
I was but it is run by a religious, Prozak driven person or persons that are living in La La land and will not tolerate ANY descent. I happened to
agree with someone that a certain restaurant in town had dreadful food. We both got 86ed. Fine with me, the forum is just a bunch of watered down
pabulum anyway, not worth wasting your time so I suggest you just lie, tell them you're a member, and get your 20%. I post controversial stuff here
all the time, I don't get thrown off I just get told what an a-hole I am. Oh well?

Just had dinner there...great burgers (the black and blue, with carmelized onions, blue cheese and bacon was a fav...and they happily substituted a
very nice salad for fries). The milk shake was the best I've ever had in Baja. Two thumbs up. Highly recommended.
reality\'s never been of much use out here...

Better or off with something you know was frozen before it was microwaved as opposed to questionable Tv dinners.
