Mr. Velazquez admits that the concept, imported from the local chain launched by his cousin in Illinois, was more difficult to implement here initially, with customers generally opting for classics. But the most popular dishes are now the Martian, Dragon, Alamo and El Diablo burgers, generously garnished sometimes with guacamole, fresh jalapenos, habanero sauce or even cilantro or chipotle mayo. And all of this is homemade: “We only serve fresh meat, we entrusted our recipe to a butcher shop in LaSalle which supplies us exclusively,” Alejandro Velazquez tells us. Our sauces, our guacamole, our chicken wings, everything is homemade. We want freshness in all our recipes. »

Laval is the Velazquez family’s next target, probably before the end of 2024.
