Wow ~~ established 1895! They must know what they're doing. Obviously intelligent people, as shown by the logo.
Thanks for the link, MV. I'm passing it on to a friend of mine who lives in that exotic part of the country.
What is birch beer -- is it root beer? (bet it ain't Barq's!)

OP- Sounds damn good! I make huge burgers on a French roll (half for me, half for th' guy) and slather on mustard & mayo & sprinkle on a little black pepper. I melt some cheese on the patties & afterwards lay on some onions, tomates and jalapenos! Woo-hoo!

Day before yesterday, we had double cheeseburgers at Cafetería Chió's, in Pátzcuaro. Its a small, neat business connected to the Carnicería La Sin Rival next door. (Husband and wife ownership). You know that the burger meat is ground very fresh and unadulterated with fillers nor inappropriate spices.
They recently raised the price from $20 pesos to $30 pesos, but they are still worth it. The doubles consist of two medium patties, fried a bit crispy, and layered with yellow cheese, lettuce, tomato, ham, bacon, special sauce and chile (on request). I have noted that the burgers are also not as juicy-messy as they were before; that is, I no longer need a fork the finish the second half. We still like them. Soft drinks, Nescafe and freshly squeezed orange juice are available.
Although they have a fryer, they do not offer french fries. ¿Quien sabe?
If any of you every find yourselves in charming Pátzcuaro, Michoacán, México, and are craving a burger, you might try this place. It's on Calle Ibarra, a couple of blocks west of the Plaza Grande, a few doors east of Calle Espejo, on the north side of the street. Closed Sundays.
(We have heard that come evening, on the Plaza San Francisco, excellent burgers are cooked to order. I haven't tried them yet.)
