You know me, I love pretty much all things Mexican, including those cart burgers. I cannot find anything like them here in the PNW. And as far as the beef goes, I think it has a big part to do with why I like them. The beef in Mexico may be tough, stringy, whatever, but it tastes like beef. U.S. beef, not so much.

There are a few things I make sure I have during a Zihuatanejo stay; pozole at Ricomar, chilaquiles at the Catalina, an ice cream from that joint over by the church, and one of those cart burgers. No trip is complete without all of them (not at the same time, of course). If that makes me ignorant, too Americano or something, I apologize, but my guess is that I won't stop

Ha ha ha! No problema, amigo. We should go on a HUNT for The Great Mexican Burger! After a few healthy shots of mezcal, of course.

Lookee what I found!

Yes, thank you, Dave. I believe almost everyone except you understood my comments in the manner in which they were intended and no one’s health was endangered. Sorry about your friend. When I was affected by bad food here a couple of times 45 years ago one of the culprits was an oyster, the other a sandwich. The oyster had me writhing in pain on the floor for days. The sandwich had me on a strict diet and consuming medicines that looked like witches concoctions for most of a year, and every now and then it still drops me to my knees in pain. I don’t complain lightly about any pains, and I sure as hell don’t tell folks what to do without good reasons that may not always be obvious. Restaurants I list here work hard to prepare meals that are safe to eat. Oftentimes folks blame restaurants for bugs they pick up elsewhere, especially when they pass the day consuming alcoholic beverages. And most of the time it is not what should be called food poisoning. I didn’t intend to confuse anyone, much less make you feel it necessary to define food poisoning or consult the CDC.

You should be a politician. If going to La Cancha on a Sunday I am eating there!

But, but... tell me where I can get an hamburgesa that is that good, anywhere else.

Thanks.

You didn't really come to Mexico to eat hamburgers, did you? If you did try La Porteña or Mr. Lalo's or La Perla or Deborah's. Just tell them you want it flat and partly burnt with half the beef.

Oh come on, Last trip me and another person got food poisoning from 2 different resturants. I eat street food all the time and never had a problem.
So the little old lady selling tamales is using unsanitary practices for her customers and her family!

They weren’t restaurants that I recommend, were they?

Food poisoning is not the runs. I spent years suffering the consequences of what eating “the wrong food” can do to you, Not talking about Hep. While I’m certainly no medical expert, this is something I feel I know more about than the average person.

Very dangerous information. Especially with all of the elderly people in the area. I watched a person who did not get this treated get airlifted out this year because his kidneys were shutting down. The runs IS FOOD POISINING . This from the CDC:

Food Poisoning Symptoms
Español (Spanish)
Food poisoning symptoms may range from mild to severe and may differ depending on the germ you swallowed. The most common symptoms of food poisoning are:
Upset stomach
Stomach cramps
Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Fever
After you consume a contaminated food or drink, it may take hours or days before you develop symptoms. If you experience symptoms of food poisoning, such as diarrhea or vomiting, drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.

We also found lychees at one of our favorite places and are loving them.

It's good living in paradise and doing what we can to keep it that way!

My wife got food poisoning at La Casa Vieja this last February, We'll still go there next time we come. It could happen to anyone.

It tends to happen some places more than others. Thus my comments.
