If you like spicy burgers, this ones definitely for you! Although, I wasn’t 100% sold on it to begin with. The first few bites weren’t all the flavourful. It felt as though I was just eating a decent cheeseburger. I had to lift the bun up just to double check that there was indeed some spices in the damn thing! It might just have been sheer coincidence that every bite I initially took that I indirectly avoided them all.

The Mexicali Spicy Burger consists of crisp baby gem lettuce, tomato, red onions, jalapeño chillies, smoky chilli cheese, and topped with Burgista Bro’s own burger sauce and chipotle mayo.

Eventually I did come across the Jalapeño chillies; my first thought was that they were just ok. Don’t get me wrong, they tasted lovely, but I wasn’t getting that burn I was expecting. HOWEVER, once I got like half way through the burger the Jalapeños hit me like a mule kick to the face!!!

Overall, I wasn’t too impressed with the build of the burger, as the bun fell apart when I was about three quarters of the way through it. And also the placement of the main components could have been evenly distributed; I didn’t get that even taste and balance in every bite!
