An Enormous Juicy Build Your Own Burger in Gulfport
Gulfport has quickly become one of my favorite places to enjoy the Florida life… without so many tourists. I wish the Gulfport Casino was a casino. But nonetheless, there are enough bars, restaurants and nice water views to keep me coming back. The burger in Gulfport I tried this weekend will definitely keep me coming back. And it was at a Mexican restaurant of all places.
Yeah you read that right. This monstrous huge burger in Gulfport I tried was at The Drunken Taco on Beach Boulevard. By the name, they’re more known for their tequila, tacos, burritos and fajitas. But a burger just sounded good and I didn’t leave disappointed. Or remotely hungry.
I like finding great burgers at places that aren’t KNOWN for their burgers. And this burger in Gulfport can be added to that list. I’ll give their tacos a try next time. But let’s look at this burger.
The burger is juicy and ridiculously big… but manageable. The Swiss cheese had some good flavor too – they definitely don’t use the cheap stuff to save money at The Drunken Taco. And there was enough cheese… something that’s rare these days. The sauteed onions had a nice kick too. I even like that they give you bottles of ketchup that don’t have all the preservatives and words you can’t pronounce in the ingredients. It costs more. So it’s rare.
My only complaint if I had one was that I ordered mine medium and it was cooked well done. It wasn’t much of a problem though – the burger tasted great. Service was decent. The vibe of the place is laid back and beachy. I dug it.
What’s your go-to place in Gulfport? Let me know. I think Pia’s Trattoria will be my next spot to hit on my next visit. We don’t have enough top-level Italian restaurants in the Tampa Bay area, so seeing the reviews being so good for Pia’s definitely piqued my curiosity.
