The Coast’s Burger Bash strikes again! Here’s a sneak peek at The Carleton’s HFX-MEX burger.
Atlantic beef patty seared to perfection and served with a classic Cotija cheese. A refreshing pico de gallo will balance the richness of our spicy and sour Tajín crema, and the shredded lettuce will bring in the crunch factor to bring this burger to a whole new level ($15). Pair with famous Carleton frites or side salad ($7) and quench your thirst with a cold Garrison on tap ($7). $1 from every burger sold, every side sold, and every brew sold goes to Feed Nova Scotia so a full meal deal means we contribute $3 to this worthy cause!
