About the Place
Alaburger
Alaburger, nestled in the vibrant heart of Brisas de Zicatela, Oaxaca, offers more than just food—it delivers an experience. Set against a garden-like backdrop where live salsa rhythms fill the air, this spot invites you to unwind and savor. The lively ambiance, complete with a laidback vibe and occasional street dogs hoping for a taste, makes dining here authentic and unpretentious.
The standout here is undoubtedly their burgers—crafted with care, packed with juicy, flavorful patties and topped with melt-in-your-mouth bacon and fresh guacamole. What sets Alaburger apart is the DIY approach, allowing you to dress your burger with a variety of fresh, vibrant toppings right at your table. It’s fun, engaging, and gives you control over each bite.
Beyond burgers, the tacos deserve equal praise. The shrimp and fish tacos consistently receive high marks for their perfectly crispy exteriors and moist, tender interiors, complemented by crunchy slaw and nuanced, house-made sauces. The arrachera and pork belly tacos pack a punch of flavor, enhanced by expertly seasoned grilled veggies and an array of vibrant salsas that awaken the palate.
The cocktail menu is equally impressive. Fresh, well-balanced drinks such as gin and tonics and maracuya pitchers elevate the meal, complementing the food while matching the festive vibe of live music and friendly service.
Alaburger is not just about eating; it’s about savoring the moment—a flavorful journey through meticulously prepared dishes in a relaxed, beachy setting. Whether it’s dancing to salsa tunes or enjoying a casual meal with friends, Alaburger leaves an enduring impression with every bite.

“ Garden like ambience, often with live music. Good pizza - burgers come de constructed- which is fun if you like fixing up your own. Great cocktails and gin and tonics. I can see how some people would be really bothered by the many street dogs that will stand by you and pine for your food while you’re eating. ”
“ Wow! The best burger in town!!! It is high quality. The roof is very nice, the are playing nice salsa music right now, I just want to come back eat and dance!!! Thanks guys! ”
“ “Don’t judge a book by its cover” best describes this restaurant. The food was great! We ordered the grilled veggies, arrachera tacos, shrimp tacos, and a pitcher of maracuya. The grilled veggies were well seasoned and cooked. We saved a bit to place on the arrachera tacos; amazing flavor. The shrimp tacos, my girlfriend said were the best she’s ever had. She gave me a bite and they were well cooked and seasoned. My arrachera tacos were great with the guacamole and salsas they brought us. I would eat here again! ”
“ Relaxed, laid-back vibe with delicious food and great cocktails. The pork belly taco was packed with flavor and came with some amazing salsas. I also had the Bardot burger – juicy, tasty, and loved the concept that you can dress it yourself with extra toppings at the table, kind of a DIY burger twist. Cocktails were fresh and well-balanced. There was a live band playing in the background, adding to the chilled atmosphere. You sit outdoors in an open-air garden setting, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended! ”
“ Blew my mind — absolutely perfect burger, cooked right, flavorful, tasty bun. Not sure what this sorcery is but their bacon melts in your mouth. My burger was also topped with fresh-made guac that completed this heavenly combo. Fish/shrimp tacos are on par with fish shack with thinly shaved cabbage, topped with green and orange sauces. I would just love fish a bit crispier. Very cheap, very friendly, a must visit when in the area. ”
