heidinrick Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Heidi and I taught Alejandro and his chef at Casa Linda how to make the same burger we served at 60's and The Early Bird Cafe. Today we tasted the product...just like old times! A fat (7oz/200gr), juicy, tasty burger on a toasted bun. What more can you ask for! He says that until he sees how it goes, there will probably be a limited supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heidinrick Posted October 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Sorry Lexy...I don't visit this site frequently. The price is $90 pesos including fries. Well worth the price. Tripps charges $85 pesos for a tasteless burger half the size of this! This is the real deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Not bad, Rick, since I think yours was $75 at your last place, and that was a few years back. And kudos for telling us the price, considering it isn't your restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidinrick Posted October 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 I screwed up..it's $95 pesos. Sorry 'bout that. Yeah Mike, we charged $75 for our basic burger ove 5 years ago. The fries were not included so, this is a great deal and a great burger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suegarn Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 I went to Casa Linda today, and asked about that. The server knew nothing about it, and it wasn't on the menu. The only beef burger they have is the sirloin burger for 124 pesos. I was disappointed, because I wanted to try the 60's in Paradise-style burger!

Lexy Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 I guess Casa Linda isn't able to respond to give us the final word? Lexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for any directions given. It used to be La Mision. The turnoff is the one you'd use to go to Yves'. Can't think of the name. Go directly south toward the lake about a block or so. It's on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Michael Ritchie used to respond on this board, but he's out of the picture now as far as the restaurant goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Mision Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Buenos Dias: After reading the comments this morning I went over to the restaurant and have spoken with Alejandro. They have not yet completed all the prep necessary to offer Rick's Burgers. Rick will be returning Monday to work with them on his Burger. They will start offering the burger Thursday Oct. 25th. and everyday thereafter from 12:00 noon to 4:00 PM. daily as a lunch Special at the Special Price of $95 pesos. They want it to be just like you remember Rick's fantastic burger and the price is a bargain. Enjoy and looking forward to great memories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NLU Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Went yesterday! 80% sirloin with 20% white fat maybe not as great as rick's and jimmy's but still excellent quantity of fries a bit skimpy and no condiment bar but will return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgreenbury Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 More taste trials please. Friends of mine went a little while ago after I told them what I'd read here, and were hugely disappointed to be served a very generic burger. Now I'm waiting to hear from people who've actually tried this new incarnation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering because it says in a comment above, “They will start offering the burger Thursday Oct. 25th and everyday thereafter from 12:00 noon to 4:00 PM. daily as a lunch Special .” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Mision Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Checked with Alejandro re condiment bar, Rick informed Alejandro that he cancelled his condiment bar because patrons were using it as a salad bar by taking sufficient amounts of lettuce, tomato etc. to make a side salad.

La Mision Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 You can choose your choice of "condiments" by simply telling your waiter what you want. Rick told me personally that one of his secrets for his burger is how the meat is prepared by the butcher and this is exactly how the meat for this burger is prepared.
