Hamburguesa con queso
 
Strange question, but here it comes:
Why is a cheeseburger called "Hamburguesa con queso" in Mexico and not a "Quesoburguesa"? Please enlighten me, does it sound silly? Thanks!

I think part of the reason is that in the spanish language the noun comes before the adjective.

Thanks, I've found out that in Guatemala it's indeed "Quesoburguesa", but nowhere else???

"Quesoburguesa" is pretty common in many countries, even if on a menu it might appear as "hamburguesa con queso."

Thanks! I thought it would be common, maybe it's for copyright reasons it doesn't appear on the menu.
