North Texas is well known for its diversity of cultures and food, but did you know that you can find the biggest burger in the city of Hurst?
It is named “La Reyna”, which translates to “The Queen,” it measures 16 inches and weighs over six pounds.
La Reyna was created with a combination of flavors and a unique recipe that came directly from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.
“We have the best flavor and style from Monterrey. There are people that come here and tell us that they enjoy our flavor. That is what makes us unique,” said Mario Reyna Moreno, owner of El Reyno Taquería.
The Queen Burger has also attracted thousands of followers on Moreno’s social media accounts due to its unique size and the way it is prepared.
But, what’s in the 6-pound Reyna Burger? The secret begins with a baked bun that is made in a local bakery, a beef patty that weighs over 1-pound, refried beans, pork meat that is freshly prepared at the restaurant, three different types of cheeses, ham, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado and dressings. The final touches also include french fries, spiced chili, and carrots.
Reyna explains that he also received a surprise visit from a social media follower, named Jacob, that came from Buffalo, New York.
Jacob was decided to complete the challenge of eating the Reyna Burger in less than 30 minutes. However, he surprised everyone by setting a new record of eating the burger within 21 minutes and 25 seconds.
The Reyna Burger takes about 15 minutes to prepare and the question is: would the new record be broken, by a Texan, in under 21 minutes and 25 seconds?
El Reyno Taqueria is located on 705 Melbourne Road, Hurst, TX and a second restaurant was recently opened on 2903 Lombardy Ln, Dallas, TX.
