A thick juicy burger patty topped with melted cheddar, spicy savoury chilli con carne, onion slices, and finished off with a thin spread of mustard on the top bun. Now this…this is a burger! Each bite is filled with pure meat on meat action plus a pleasing tongue tingling spiciness and the raw onion gives it a nice sweet crunch to balance it off.
What makes this burger sky rocket to the top of my burger list is the chilli con carne. This isn’t always done right and I’ve found that many places in KL tend to make it more like spaghetti bolognaise sauce…sweetish with beans and sometimes if they remember to get it right there’ll be a slight hint of heat. Here it is done right…rich, meaty, packed with flavour and with the right amount of spiciness that gets you just as you swallow.
If you love scorching your tongue with a fiery blast I suggest you order the hot wings and ask for extra spicy. These burn in an eye watering, huffing and puffing, adrenalin pumping way that can only lead to you saying…”Whoo boy! Gimme summore o’ that!” To put the fire out dip the wings in the accompanying blue cheese dip. These taste just like the wings I used to eat in the States while nursing an ice cold beer…nothing beats that combo…well actually I lied…the chilli cheeseburger beer combo is on par.
"Ay caramba! It was love at first bite!"
Of course my meal wouldn’t have been complete without ordering something with that true Mexican flair. Unfortunately the beef enchiladas were not available the day I visited as they had run out of the special sauce so I settled for the burrito instead. This was delicious and the cheese sauce melted on top gave it a nice creaminess. The only gripe I have is that the refried beans on the side left a little something to be desired. They were watery and tasteless which was a bit of a disappointment considering that the rest of my meal had incorporated a whirlwind of flavour.
Wash your meal down with a margarita for the ultimate Tex-Mex experience. They boast having the best fresh lime margaritas in Malaysia and Southeast Asia and while I cannot confirm this as I’m not a connoisseur I can tell you that they don’t go light on the good stuff and just one will have you in a blissful state. High quality tequila and fresh squeezed tangy lime is what makes their margaritas shine.
By the end of the meal I was stuffed but I just had to have a sliver of the key lime pie. It was refreshing and creamy at the same time…cooling off my overworked tongue and yet contorting it again with its tanginess. While it was rich it wasn’t cloyingly so and the crust was crumbly and delicious. Despite being too full to have another bite I somehow managed to polish off my piece of pie…I just couldn’t say no to such decadence.

Good review but I must say there's hardly enough praises sung for the key lime pie.
