Burgers that come with a little heat are pretty bomb. Topped with jalapeños? Sure. Chili seasoned patty? You bet. All of the above plus a spicy aioli? I’m your goddamn huckleberry.

That being said, finding a burger that has just the right spice to flavor ratio can be pretty difficult. Go too hot and the spice is overwhelming, too little and you’ll find yourself wondering why you paid for the thing in the first place.

This burger comes packaged in an eye-catching wrapper

Thankfully, the Crispy Jalapeño Burger from Angel Burger is the right balance.

One of Angel's two spicy burger offerings, the Crispy Jalapeño Burger looks like a normal cheeseburger with all the fixings, but on top of its white onions and tomato comes the heat – both normal pickled jalapeño and breaded, deep fried jalapeño.

There's a generous helping of pickled and fried peppers under this hood

A side note about this burger is when you order, it's described on the menu as 酸辣 suān là, or sour and hot. Prior to seeing this, I'd never thought of jalapeños as suan la, but it makes sense, seeing as the pickling lends a sour twang to the pepper, while also tempering its spice.

Altogether, this is a good munch from start to finish, everything coming together for suan la heaven – plus if you look close enough, you'll see chili powder thrown onto the patty and fixings for an added kick.

What's more, Angel – whose burgers stand at #43 as of our 2021 Burger Cup rankings – boasts a flavorful patty as well, thin, cooked to perfection, and topped with a slice of cheddar.

An extra helping of red in the form of chili powder puts more kick in this burger's step

Final verdict: the Crispy Jalapeño Burger is one spicy burger we can get behind. It's a regular menu item, so head over to try it at their shops today.
