La Pepita en El Corte Inglés
The Hamburguesa Pepita Burger, while inspired by the American hamburger, is a modern Spanish interpretation. The hamburger's origins lie in 19th-century German immigrants bringing Hamburg-style ground beef to the United States. From there, it evolved into the sandwich we know today. La Pepita Burger Bar, a Spanish restaurant chain, puts a gourmet spin on this classic.
Hamburgers, while American in origin, have become a globally recognized and adapted food. La Pepita Burger Bar reflects the Spanish culture of enjoying high-quality ingredients and sharing food in a relaxed, social setting.

The Hamburguesa Pepita Burger offers a balanced blend of savory, slightly sweet, and umami flavors, often featuring high-quality Spanish beef and fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
The dominant flavor is the rich, savory taste of the grilled beef patty, typically made from high-quality Galician or other Spanish beef. Depending on the specific Pepita Burger, it might include the sweetness of caramelized onions, the tang of pickles or special sauces, the creaminess of melted cheese (often Manchego or a similar Spanish cheese), and the freshness of lettuce and tomato. Some variations may incorporate smoky paprika or other Spanish spices. The bread is also carefully chosen, often a brioche or similar style bun, providing a soft and slightly sweet counterpoint to the savory ingredients.
