![]() ![]() The pico de gallo and guacamole were the standouts, as they should have been considering the name of the burger. This is a classic fancy burger combination, so the flavors combine well and my overall enjoyment came down to the individual components, which were fine to quote good. When I got to taste everything together, I enjoyed the burger. While this is a general strategy of mine so the last bites are always the best, perhaps I should start giving myself better first impressions. The toppings were inconsistently applied and I was eating on the barer side. My first bite wasn’t too special just like a regular cheeseburger. The paper worked to keep the burger in one piece. I don’t think the burger necessarily needed the lime, but as a courtesy, I gave the inside of the burger a squirt before starting to eat. And in an industry which sometimes struggles to give good, fresh produce as sandwich toppings, the lime looked surprisingly healthy. The box is standard now for “fancy” burgers, but I have never been served a piece of fruit with my order at any fast food restaurant. Now that I’ve done the blogging equivalent of yelling at clouds for a few paragraphs, how about I discuss the burger?! The Pico Guacamole burger came boxed, wrapped in paper and served with a lime on the side. It took us a minute to sort out what I actually wanted. I also was trying to order the Buttermilk Crispy Tenders, and the worker at the register misheard my order and almost gave me a different burger. ![]() Their register is set up to do it step by step, and I got tripped up when I made my order, the needed to retrace my steps so the cashier could input all of the information. Seems straightforward, right? However, I couldn’t just go up and order a Pico Guac burger. Lastly, you must select your bun, which can be an artisan roll or sesame bun. The first step is to choose your protein: a burger or piece of crispy/grilled chicken. It makes sense in hindsight, but confused me as a first time consumer. As someone who used to work at a McDonald’s and has been eating there pretty much my whole life, the ordering process for the Signature Crafted sandwiches was unclear.įor these sandwiches, there’s a three-step map which is laid out on a mat by the counter. McDonald’s Pico Guacamole Burger contains “freshly prepared Pico de Gallo, creamy guacamole, real buttermilk ranch, white cheddar, and lettuce … served with a fresh lime wedge.” I ordered it as a meal with a large fries and soda, which was $8.79 before tax.īefore I go into how the food actually tasted, I think it makes sense to review the ordering procedure because it was confusing. It took me some time to make it to a McDonald’s to give the new selections a taste, but I’m sucker for a guacamole burger, so I always knew I’d make it in eventually. ![]() The Signature Crafted burgers have some customization options (as I’ll detail below), but they’re primarily offered as set sandwiches, with your choice between Sweet BBQ Bacon and Pico Guacamole, with usually a third option that varies locally. This follows a failed attempt to induce customers to customize their burgers via kiosk, which never was fully implemented nationwide. Last spring they introduced several new Signature Crafted burgers in an attempt to offer fresher and more varied choices to diners as they face competition from fast casual burgers chains in all markets. McDonald’s has made some fairly large (for them) changes to their menu recently.
