Gallo Blanco Cafe & Bar

• Description:
  This restaurant is housed within a boutique hotel. The menu focuses on dressed up DF-style Mexican food, but the grilled (not griddled) burgers here are among the best in town. The flagship Pica Rico burger comes with roasted green chile, sharp cheddar, sliced avocado, and a spicy aji amarillo aioli plus a huge serving of crisp-tender fries. The happy marriage of perfect char, chile heat, and luxurious toppings makes this one of the best green chile cheeseburgers you'll find anywhere. Some might balk at paying $11 for a burger and fries, but when you consider that this combo could feed 2 people easily, the price tag seems downright reasonable. The restaurant has a full bar featuring house specialty cocktails as well as wine and domestic and Mexican beers. Vegetarians won't find a burger here, but with delicious salads, elote, guacamole, chilaquiles, and vegetable tacos (and torta) on the menu, they need not go hungry.
