Goiko’s spicy chicken burger: crispy chicken thigh soaked in the chain’s smoked jalapeño sauce, with American cheese, fresh jalapeño and pickles. Thigh stays juicier than breast under all that sauce, and the fresh chilli adds a sharper heat on top of the smoky one. Hot by Spanish chain standards.

About Goiko
Goiko started in Madrid in 2013, when Venezuelan-born Andoni Goicoechea opened a small burger restaurant built around the kind of messy, heavily loaded burgers he loved. It caught on almost immediately, spread across Spain, and became one of the country’s most recognisable restaurant brands in barely a decade.
Well over a hundred restaurants across Spain, with a growing presence in other European countries.
