US vs Mexico Burger King | Food Wars | Insider Food

[@pottertheavenger1363]

About perception; Mexico has a big street food culture, and any street burger will be tastier, healthier, and cheaper than a fast food chain.

I was pregnant almost 3 years ago and went back to visit family for the first time in 20+ years. I told myself I would be careful with the food (because of the baby). I didn't have time to eat and had to rush at the airport, so finally, I had a chance to eat in the ADO (bus). There was a lady selling food, she had a burger and I was starving. It was like a dollar, and it was such a delicious burger. It was so worth it. It reminded me what natural meat tasted like. I devoured that thang!

[@mendoza.395]

​@@kaisendbd It depends where you go, you will find better burgers than those at BK, I hardly buy at BK because at Uber Eats you find better options from local restaurants and much better quality

I’m Mexican-American, visit fam in Mexico often, and let me say, as a foodie, the USA is dropping the ball on not popularizing apple soda. I know it sounds questionable, but OMG, Manzanita Sol and Sidral Mundet are sooooo goooooood. Honestly, I’d chose them over Dr Pepper, they just hit like magic on a hot day

[@bentipton1826]

I live in Alabama & buy those brands frequently. They're delicious 😋

[@mr_king_n_watch1659]

A mí me gusta más la Sidral Mundet. Personalmente, siento que la Manzanita Sol la chafearon mucho. Pero bueno, cada quien tiene sus gustos.

Thats the only good thing taco bell used to have fr...

For me, Joya de Manzana beats Manzanita Sol on any day.

how are US fast food companies absolutely mid in north america? every international branch just seems to be so much better.

So true I was in Prague and they have the most amazing salads with yogurt dressing and for desert they have butter pescan ice cream and they serve beer yes you herd right beer a meal is 65 crowns for the large and the cheapest is 32 crowns yes they use the euro but it’s best to convert money to crowns it’s much cheaper and you don’t get charge a fee on your debit card unles you convert to euro

Much love to Mexico from your northern neighbors. Was really happy to see Mexico featured as a Food Wars country!

[@AlexPlays14]

Thank you North America, we really appreciate your comment

[@pablerry]

But being honest, in a food war US vs Mexico, the US has no chance.

[@BIGSERBS]

The best Burger King I've ever had was in Sonora Mexico, it tasted so fresh and not overly processed

[@danaschmidt2116]

The mexican burgers looked so delicious compared to the us ones

[@lamau12]

For any foreign visitors in BK México im only gonna say this... Guacamole Crunch King de Res. 🤤

[@pastedtomato]

As far as big franchises burges go, BK is generally speaking better than Mc Donald's here in Mexico (at least when it comes to regular menu items), it's not the best one (and low key the ones at the small burger stand outside of your house are better for half the price), but it's good

[@nikosbalakos6525]

Yeah it's the same here in Sydney Australia, burger king burgers (licensed as hungry jacks) tastes a lot better than McDonald's

[@starrfuzion]

I agree, there's a lot more places much better than McDonald's here in Mexico, I'd say Carl's Jr is also better. And of course, I tried a bunch of local fast food n beer places with similar prices and better products

[@moogleking]

That jalapeños burger looks great i want to try that if i visit Mexico

[@susantuna3434]

Just recently Mexico added french toast and churros to the menu. The churros are sooo good! 🤤

[@aniE1869]

The burgers in Mexico sound so much better than the US.

[@orochirel]

They are. McDonald’s here in Mexico sucks, at least for me. I prefer way more BK

[@RenzoSchlender]

I agree

[@kuebby]

When I was a kid the BK Hershey Sundae Pie was the pinnacle of decadence. I loved those things.

[@tomkvideo]

Mexico still has the stacker AND the angry whopper? And the UK still has McDonalds Chicken Selects. What are you doing America?!

[@pablerry]

Yes, stacker and Angry are on the regular menu every year, all year.

[@carlosdiaz5486]

I miss the double stacker. Technically we can still order it in the states, but only when we have those melts in season

[@adamknight5089]

Dayum those Mexican burgers are crazy .. looking forward to this series with Mexico

[@IGSkaarj]

Kinda surprised the US only has standard chicken fries and not the Doritos chilli heatwave chicken fries. They've become a huge hit here in the UK.

I had the stacker when I was in Argentina, but they were doing a limited edition 5 pattie version. It was the best BK I've ever had, elevated by the fact their beef overall there is on another level 🤤

[@thecunninlynguist]

how big was that? was it 5x5 in-n-out big?

[@MachivelianBear]

You went to Argentina and ate at Burger King? What is wrong with you?

​​@@MachivelianBearevery major chain have different menus across the world so it's worth of visiting to taste something different : ) KFC in my home country is hell and heaven a lot better and bigger than in UK and McD breakfast have cottage chesse, raddish egg or avocado etc. So, it's worth trying out

[@MatthewGRedhead]

@@MachivelianBear Haha, rest assured I had plenty of proper Argentinian food as well!

[@mabanko22]

We used to have both the Hershey’s Pie and the Chicken Fríes in Mexico. I would say it’s not even been a year since they discontinued them

[@mrtyreus0]

And in the US we used to have the Double, Triple, Quad stackers. My go to is a simple value fry, value drink, and a double cheeseburger add lettuce tomato and onion for $5 and change.

[@fordrmo]

And also we had the Cheesy Tots in Mexico, when i went to BK i've always ordered them apart from the burger and fries, but one day i came and saw the menu, and the cheesy tots disappeared like it's not gonna come back never, i'm still missing them 😢

[@tere-gg1776]

[@sopksi]

I'm currently working in a bk (Mexico) and you do can get 4 pieces chiken nuggets, they are just not advertised. In april we also added french toast and churros to the menu and about 2 weeks ago we also added burritos and muffins (for breakfasts) and 3 more boneless sauces (honey chipotle, buffalo garlic and lemon pepper)

I grew up in Northern Mexico for a little bit over 12 years while by dad traveled back and forth to the US for work. I gotta say that Burger King was our go to fast food place and the food was way better than the ones in America 🇺🇸! The fries were always crispy and not too salty and the burger 🍔 patties actually tasted fresh! 😂

[@DigitalMaru]

My husband loved food in Mexico, he could tell the difference in quality. We are getting fooled here in America with bs filler “food”

[@steffiel285]

I'd imagine they would make the fish patties square as to not get them confused with chicken? Only thoughts as Gregg's here in the UK have different patterns on the pasties to help identify them lol

[@lorla85]

Mexico still has the angry whopper? 😮 I had one several years ago and loved it!

[@ocwatts-zq8lc]

I am from the US and have family in Mexico city and Monterey Mexico. And I've gone to all the fast food restaurants in Mexico city And Monterey Mexico, McDonald's, BK, Carl's Jr, KFC , heck even Starbucks and they are better in Mexico than in the US. And I don't understand why ? Heck they even have a high end Starbucks in Monterey Mexico called "Starbucks Reserve" which is high class version of Starbucks its like FANCY 5 star version of Starbucks. I know Starbucks have a big location in Seattle but it's not "FANCY" like the one in Mexico, And the McDonald's in Mexico have a separate menu which is more expensive but they offer burgers made with high end ingredients. I just don't get it why don't these AMERICAN companies offer any of these things in the US in their home country?? They offer all these fancy better things in their international locations.. and it pisses me off they don't give us Americans any of these things. It's like why ?

[@gimmieboy]

Ranch definitely doesn't taste the same everywhere

[@MidnightJohnson-dp5mb]

The chips from Mexico are really good, they taste less processed

[@Nick-hq1bn]

When you compare prices in different countries, could you also include the median income in both countries? It's kind of irrelevant to state the price in each country without stating the median income.

[@MicoV94]

Another Food Wars episode between Burger King USA vs. Mexico, well done!

[@Terrelli9]

I like this Mexican series. Very interesting!

[@DustyJones1997BGCL]

Burger King is okay. It's not my favorite fast food place but it's really good but I would love to try Mexico's 😋🤤

[@riotiki]

Here in Texas our regional Burger is the Texas Double Whopper. I learned the hard way that other states don’t have jalapeños in their kitchen so they couldn’t even add them to my burger

[@StatusNull]

why no protein amount on the nutrition facts section, or fiber? those 2 make sense

[@randyjimenez127]

[@Dugie555]

That “Traffic Jam Whopper” is an interesting idea. Why can’t we have guacamole in ours?! Always interesting to see US fast food chain interpretations from other countries. 🍔 👏 😋

[@ultralaggerREV1]

The Mexican burger king tastes MUCH BETTER and MUCH FRESHER than the US. It’s cheaper and you can feed an entire family of 5 TWICE a day unlike in US where it’s expensive

[@IrKeNoVa]

If you earn in dollars, then yeah, it's cheaper But for us, that we earn in pesos not so much. Still cheap , though...

Where I'm from Burger King died.. BK was the high end option compared to McD, however, Carl's Jr came in and BK was suddenly trapped between both options. If you're gonna pay more, might as well go Carl's, so it slowly fell apart, literally, last time I went to BK was the same week it was to close and the ceiling was falling off.

There’s so much flavor in mexican Burger King, McDonald’s, Carl’s Jr, Wendy’s, etc. USA burgers taste really mid. On the other side, I have family in the USA (born and raised in the states, except my aunt) and when they visit México and get a burguer from american burger places they get a flavor explosion, but they get tummy hurt every single time. Apparently, americans can’t handle that much of many ingredients in their food. They say food taste amazing, but they can’t handle it.
