Food for tooth 

By Otto George I. Weber

American Size

    Another preferred watering hole of the local expat crowd, Burgers and Beer (along F.C. Ledesma Ave.) offers American and Mexican border cuisine.
    Starting early (7:30am) with the various American-style breakfasts (those link sausages sure taste good!), one can return for lunch and munch on those tasty sirloin burgers. If watching one's weight, then a choice of the sandwiches and a fresh salad would be a healthy option.
    Doubling back once more after a nice 'siesta', what better way to have 'merienda' than trying out those classic Mexican burritos, tacos or quesadillas. Washing them down with a few imported cold 'cervezas' definitely makes for a perfect combination. The thin-crust pizzas are also worth trying. Some may find the prices a bit on the high side, but then, good quality comes with a price.
     Service given by the polite and well-groomed waitresses is good; though having them in uniform outfits would be a nice complement to the place. The restroom is very clean and smells really good.
    Overall, the verandah-like setting provides a nice and airy place to enjoy those stateside-type of meals without having to leave the country.
