La Taberna Burger Art: Telde’s temple to the gourmet burger

Some places you visit once and remember forever. La Taberna Burger Art in Telde is one of those spots where the burger joint stops being a simple fast-food format and becomes a statement of intent. For nine years, Doramas Sosa has been proving that making burgers is, in fact, a form of culinary authorship.

A universe of pop culture on the walls

Before the first dish even arrives at your table, you have already taken a trip. The walls of La Taberna Burger Art are a universe decorated with care and a sensibility that is far from improvised: comics, films, collectable figurines, references to the most beloved pop culture. Every corner is a piece of the puzzle of a very well-constructed identity. Fans of the geek world will find their paradise here; those who are not will leave feeling a little more like one.

The man behind the meat: Doramas Sosa

Doramas Sosa is not just the face of the establishment, but its very soul. He was the one who introduced the first burger made with a Donut to the island, getting ahead of a trend that would later go viral across Spain. This ability to anticipate remains his hallmark: to propose something before anyone else does, with discernment and without surrendering to fashion for fashion’s sake.

A philosophy of quality and intelligence

The gastronomic offering at La Taberna Burger Art is built on a simple yet powerful philosophy: buy the best product and assemble it with intelligence. No unnecessary gimmicks, no tricks. The result is memorable burgers, with names that are small homages to the world of film and comics, as if each bite were also a reference to be collected on the palate.

The ‘Gran Canaria’: a manifesto of local identity

The ‘Gran Canaria’ is already a house classic and a small manifesto of Canarian identity: a seed bun, beef, tomato, fried plantain, caramelised onion, Canarian almond mojo sauce, and smoked Canarian cheese. It is an exercise in unapologetic Canarianness, where the plantain and mojo are not a touristy nod but ingredients that genuinely elevate the whole. Sweet, smoky, unctuous: this is the burger that should feature in any local produce guide.

Creation of the month: the ‘Michael Jackson’

This month’s creation is called ‘Michael Jackson’ and arrives loaded with references: a brioche bun, a smashed Angus patty, melted cheddar, homemade crispy onion, and a special ‘Moonwalk’ aioli with black garlic that finishes the bite with elegance and depth. Moreover, to coincide with the release of the long-awaited Michael biopic, the burger comes with gifts and prize draws throughout the month, transforming the visit into an experience that goes beyond the culinary. A creation with its own personality and rhythm, just like its inspiration.

A menu full of film and comic book references

The other offerings on the menu, with titles taken from films and comics, invite you to return. Not because they are a gimmick, but because they are well made. The chicken option and the vegetarian choice broaden the spectrum without resorting to the easy route: here, they work with the same respect for the product. Among the starters, the ‘Papas Pull Fiction’ deserve a special mention. A bed of chips generously covered with shredded pork marinated in BBQ sauce, cheddar sauce, sausage, and fried onion. It is the dish that appears on every table, the one you share, the one that sparks debate about whether to order a second round. Indulgent, hearty, and executed with conviction. A house classic in its own right.

More than a chef: a communicator and collector

What makes Doramas Sosa a unique character on the Canarian gastronomic scene is not just his cooking. Every week, you will find him hosting his podcast ‘Helado Oscuro’, which has become an absolute reference point in the Canary Islands. Culture, gastronomy, entertainment: a format that reflects the same multidisciplinary personality you feel in his restaurant. Chef, communicator, collector. A profile that fits perfectly with the times we live in and with what today’s diner is looking for: authenticity and coherence.
