| - Met up with a friend for a patio hangout. Not really knowing that area, the location was really easy to find, and the patio was really spacious and relaxing. I wasn't planning on eating much, but the waitress was pretty persuasive.
I started with their oven-baked Antojitos with their pesto sour cream. Holy antojitters in the loins of my taste buds, batman! Absolutely delicious. My friend ordered the same thing and agreed with my assessment. That set the Montanas bar pretty high, and I had no idea what to order after that. The waitress recommended their chipotle 'firecracker' burger. Works for me!
Questions I never want to ask myself:
-"What is this weird discolouration?"
-"They want to harvest my WHAT?"
-"The DNA result came back positive?"
-"Is it just me, or does this burger kind of suck?"
Well, scratch the last one off the list. Harumph. Classic example of putting too damned much on a burger. They take a sizable patty, add the standard burger toppings to it, then throw in jalapenos, bacon, chipotle honey BBQ sauce, and a mountain of crispy cajun onions (baby onion rings?).
Now, maybe it's just me, but if I have to force a burger into my mouth, I want it to be due to the patty being so thick, and not because I'm trying to navigate around falling jalapenos, a barbed wire onion ring fence, and chipotle sauce and grease pouring out the sides. By the time I was finished with the burger, it looked like I had washed my hands with grease. Yum! The sad part is that if they removed the onion beard from this thing, it might actually be pretty tasty. I did enjoy the chipotle sauce on it.
Can't win em all I guess. Great patio, good service, good prices, amazing apps, and a disappointing burger. I shall return.
