Signature Burger Joint
At Valerio Burger Club, every smash burger is a work of art. Fresh beef pressed on the griddle, caramelized crust from the Maillard reaction, served on a long-fermentation brioche bun. Dinner only, Wednesday to Sunday, from 5:00 p.m. Available via our own delivery, Uber Eats, and PedidosYa.
A smash burger is made by pressing a ball of fresh ground beef (with 18% fat) onto a hot griddle. Pressing it hard maximizes surface contact, creating a crispy, golden crust thanks to the Maillard reaction. That caramelized layer seals in the juices and delivers an intense, smoky flavor. At VBC, we use a fresh daily-ground blend and our own smoked flavors to take this technique to the next level. Every bite is an explosion of texture and flavor, without excess grease—just pure quality.
It's a technique born in the United States: take a portion of ground beef (we use an 18% fat blend) and smash it flat on a hot griddle with a spatula. This creates a crispy crust on the outside while the inside stays juicy. The Maillard reaction, combined with the wood smoke from our grill, gives a unique profile. At VBC, each smash is made to order, without industrial presses, to guarantee that artisanal texture.
At Valerio Burger Club, the smash technique is a ritual. We use fresh ground beef with 18% fat, pressed on a high-temperature griddle. The secret is the perfect point: achieving a golden crust without drying out the inside. We add melted American cheese, caramelized onions, and our signature sauce. All on a long-fermentation brioche bun, soft and slightly sweet. The result is a burger that crunches, melts, and envelops.
Le Smash is our star: smash beef served on an artisanal croissant, flaky and buttery, contrasting with the crispy crust. Dirty Marce, on the other hand, uses soft toasted sliced bread, with double smash beef, cheese, smoked bacon, and our Dirty sauce. While Le Smash is crunchy elegance, Dirty Marce is controlled excess. Two ways to experience the smash, both with a chef's soul.
