Food Review
“Just order this one.”

They say that the third time’s a charm, and the “Cheese Avocado Mayo Shrimp Burger” may be that charm that the “Jurassic World Burgers” trilogy needed. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out my previous reviews about the “Thick Beef & Garlic Onion Beef Burger” and the “Delicious and Spicy Crunchy Juicy Chicken Burger”.
“Cheese Avocado Mayo Shrimp Burger” is the third “movie” in “Jurassic World Burgers”, a Japan-exclusive prequel trilogy to “Jurassic World Rebirth”. Directed by Ronald “Donald” McDonald, it is an exciting collaboration between Universal and McDonald’s. Being the final “movie” of the prequel trilogy, “Cheese Avocado Mayo Shrimp Burger” has the challenge of being entertaining enough to retain customers while leading up to and connecting flawlessly with whatever happens in “Jurassic World Rebirth”.
The commercial for “Cheese Avocado Mayo Shrimp Burger “ features a helicopter flying over the ocean with a bag of McDonald’s dangling from it. A Mosasaurus then leaps out of the ocean, assuring us that “Cheese Avocado Mayo Shrimp Burger” is ready to rise to the challenge.
Unlike the McDonald’s in the commercial for this burger, my local McDonald’s doesn’t offer delivery by helicopter. So I had to travel directly to a McDonald’s restaurant to “watch” this “movie”.
For my last two reviews, I dined in the evening. But this time around I dined in the afternoon. The crew seemed extra polite this time (maybe because it was a different shift). I’ll admit, their politeness made me feel like I was in an actual movie theater.
First impression? Green. Lots of green. Green to evoke thoughts of dinosaurs, maybe? Even before unwrapping the burgers, my expectations were high.
For comparison, I ordered two “Cheese Avocado Mayo Shrimp Burgers”. I also ordered the McFloat version of the “Jurassic World Pineapple Melon” drink. I avoided purchasing it last time, but I decided to “take the plunge” this time. Perhaps I was inspired by that Mosasaurus’s confident leap in the commercial.

Before I ordered the “Jurassic World Pineapple Melon McFloat”, I worried that there might not be a lid on it.
I was worried about this because of something that I observed on a previous visit to McDonald’s. Somebody ordered an ice cream cone, and when it was ready, a crew member took it to the table where the customer was sitting. But the ice cream wasn’t covered, so it was exposed to the open air as the crew member walked with it.
I remember observing that and wondering how many dust particles and random filth must have stuck onto that ice cream before it reached its destination. So, I was relieved to see that there was a lid on my “Jurassic World Pineapple Melon McFloat”.
And I was surprised this time because it came with a plastic straw. As I mentioned in my “Thick Beef & Garlic Onion Beef Burger” review, the McFizz version came in a plastic cup but with a paper straw, for some reason.
The only drawback about the plastic straw is that it was one of those with the little scoop at the end. I hardly ever utilize the scoop. But because the scoop is there, the straw part doesn’t reach the bottom of the cup. So all it does is make it harder to suck up whatever is buried underneath the ice cubes at the bottom.
The back of the cup features some foliage that acts like a three dimensional background for the “Jurassic World” logo on the front. Nice attention to detail.
As for the taste, it’s mostly the same as the McFizz version of the “Jurassic World Pineapple Melon” drink. Check out my first review if you want to know more about my thoughts on this drink.
There’s not much to say about the McFloat version. It’s just vanilla ice cream on top of some “Melon Fanta”. The taste is what you would expect it to be (if you’ve ever had any sort of an ice cream float). The yellowish orange pineapple flavoring at the bottom adds a tangy kick at the end.
Now that I think about it, maybe you’re supposed to mix it around before drinking. I guess it would be worth mixing it all up before having a sip.
Too much ice, though. The “Melon Fanta” already comes out of the dispenser cold. And it’s already got some ICE cream on it. So why do they need to drop a bunch of ice cubes into it? Ice cubes just take up space. And when the ice cubes melt, they make the drink more watery than it needs to be.

Now, on to the “Cheese Avocado Mayo Shrimp Burger”!
As I’ve already mentioned before, the buns are supposed to resemble the claw marks of a dinosaur.
In my opinion, the “Cheese Avocado Mayo Shrimp Burger” is the best looking burger of the trilogy. But it still doesn’t look like what is advertised. The advertisement features a bunch of shrimp sticking out of it, and some avocado mayo sauce over the lettuce. This one just looks like a fish burger with cheese.
It looked so different that, for a moment, I thought that the crew had mixed up my order. But it turns out that all of the shrimp are crammed inside of that patty, along with some other mystery filling. And after examining the advertisement more closely, I realized that it features a patty that has had the front part of it sliced off on purpose, to expose what’s inside.
On the advertisement, the mystery filling looks somewhat fishlike and more appetizing. But the actual filling was a pink-ish color and it was such a mysterious substance that it was hard to see where the filling ends and where the shrimp begins.
What about the taste? Despite the appearance of the inside of the patty, it was tasty. Lots of volume because of all of the shrimp and mystery filling crammed inside. I’d say it’s heftier than the “Thick Beef & Garlic Onion Beef Burger” and the “Delicious and Spicy Crunchy Juicy Chicken Burger”.
The McDonald’s website describes the burger as featuring a “spiced avocado mayo sauce”. In my opinion, it was more citrusy. But maybe the spice they use makes it taste that way. It’s a “unique” taste for a burger and memorable, in a good way.
I think that it’s also worth noting here that the avocado mayo sauce does not neutralize the taste of the other ingredients. It adds a “flavor kick” that compliments the other ingredients, which I think is what a “good” sauce is supposed to do.
And overall, this burger tasted “healthier” than the first two in the trilogy.

For comparison, the photo above is of the second “Cheese Avocado Mayo Shrimp Burger” that I ordered. The second one was smashed a little and messier than the first one. Maybe I got lucky with the first one, but this one didn’t look too bad, either.
The “eating experience” of the second one was the same as the first one.
Now that I’ve “watched” all three “movies”, what’s my final verdict on the exciting “Jurassic World Burgers” prequel trilogy?
Thick Beef & Garlic Onion Beef Burger
Tasty. But disgusting to look at and too small. So don’t bother with it.
Delicious and Spicy Crunchy Juicy Chicken Burger
Not bad. Better than the
“Thick Beef & Garlic Onion Beef Burger”. But if you’re craving a fried chicken sandwich, you’re better off ordering
from KFC.
Cheese Avocado Mayo Shrimp Burger
Tastes the best out of the three. I recommend avoiding the other two and just
buying a bunch of these with the McFloat version of the “Jurassic World
Pineapple Melon” drink.I feel that the “Cheese Avocado Mayo Shrimp Burger” delivers a satisfying performance that makes up for the underperformance of the first two “movies” in the trilogy. It’s a solid conclusion for the prequel trilogy and an exciting setup for the upcoming “Jurassic World Rebirth” premiere.
However, the one thing that was blatantly absent from this trilogy was the fan favorite, Spinosaurus. Unfortunately, the staple dinosaur, Tyrannosaurus, stole the spotlight from Spinosaurus, yet again. But only to deliver the disappointing “Thick Beef & Garlic Onion Beef Burger” installment of this trilogy.
Behind the scenes, there must have been some reason for excluding Spinosaurus from this trilogy. But in the “Jurassic World Rebirth” trailer, a Mosasaurus is shown accompanied by a Spinosaurus entourage. Why wouldn’t they feature a Spinosaurus in the prequel trilogy, too? At the very least, it could have made a cameo in the “Cheese Avocado Mayo Shrimp Burger”, right?
The good news is that I have been sifting though my ever-growing collection of fossilized Spinosaurus jokes, and I uncovered one that may shed some light on the reason why Spinosaurus was excluded from the “Jurassic World Burgers” prequel trilogy.
Q. What do you call a McDonald’s that’s too scared to sell a burger
inspired by Spinosaurus?
Spineless.
There you have it. Now let’s hope Vulture makes a cameo in “Jurassic World Rebirth”.
