Smash burgers are increasingly popular in Mexico City, showcasing a blend of American food trends with local culinary innovation. The burgers feature juicy, thin patties accompanied by rich sauces, fresh jalapeños, and other unique toppings that cater to the cityâs diverse palate. While traditional fast-food smash burgers are available, the true essence of this culinary trend lies in its iteration and adaptation within Mexico's vibrant food scene. Notable spots like Original Chicago Bernie's Beef Bike highlight the local burger culture, merging Chicago-style influences with Mexican flavors, demonstrating the creativity born from cultural fusion.
Though it may seem counterintuitive, a smash burger is worth trying here, even if only for the sake of cultural comparison. Mexico City is unrivaled when it comes to seeking culinary innovation among various cuisines - including Chinese food, Indian food, pizza and burgers - and reshaping it for a massively new audience.
You can walk into any trend-forward burger spot and order the most basic smashes (a single or double patty with a house specialty sauce), but in la Ciudad de México, you can find heaps of jalapeños, salsa macha and other unique twists.
