The South of the Border burger combines the usual suspects of Mexican-influenced flavors with a few California-style twists (paper-thin sliced radishes, anyone?) Do you know what makes the roasted poblano peppers and queso fresco taste better? The crunchy bun and the chorizo patty. Little bits of chorizo sausage are integrated into the beef and it makes for an outstanding patty. I loved this burger from first bite to last.
The garlic fries are pretty awesome, too, and not overwhelmed by grease and parsley the way they are at the ballpark.
As much as I enjoyed the South of the Border burger, I knew I had to try at least one other offering at Ziggy's. Blame it on the goat cheese croquette, the crown jewel in the Cal Burger. This warm little piece of heaven gave the burger a nice tangy element and offset the smooth savory-ness of the avocado and artichoke tapenade perfectly. The chorizo patty is only offered with the South of the Border burger but eating the Cal Burger allowed me to taste a "regular" beef patty. I'm happy to report that the beef patties at Ziggy's (cooked medium rare) are tender and juicy. You can tell that the guys here use a good quality beef for their patties.
It's nice to have found a great burger place, even if it's a bit of a walk from my office. Looking over their menu on menupages.com, the great debate is which sandwich to order next: the Chimichurri or the Caribbean?
