Burger & Mayo Lab

$$ | Condado

Widely lauded as some of the best burgers in town, the secret sauce of Burger & Mayo Lab's success is the broad selection of mayonnaise flavors, from mayo aioli with parsley, lime, and garlic to the E=mc², with horseradish, dijon mustard, and honey. They serve their specialty drinks in beakers with dry ice and sauces in a syringe in keeping with the laboratory theme.

Egg Joint

$ | Ocean Park
Tasty sandwiches and burgers are available all day long at this small joint. The onion smasher comes with two beef patties, finely shredded onions, and cheese on a warm brioche bun, and specials may include a perfectly crisp, chicken-tender sandwich or a decadent pork belly with fried egg and sweet-and-sour chipotle sauce. Order at the counter, and grab a seat overlooking the street, or get your order to go and enjoy it at Ocean Park Beach.

El Hamburguer

$ | Puerta de Tierra
After a day at Playa Escambron, grab a bite and a beer at this hole- in-the-wall joint, where a tiny kitchen rapidly custom-charbroils burgers. You might want to order two, as they're small, like sliders; regardless, you can top them with Roquefort, cheddar, or American cheese. The sweet-potato fries are tasty, too; add a side salad for $1 more. This place is always packed with locals, so there might be a wait to get a table, but the turnover is quick.

La Burguesía

$$ | Isla Grande

Located inside Distrito T-Mobile, La Burguesía is an elevated take on the classic burgers and fries concept. They have an innovative menu with massive servings and outside-the-box flavor combinations. The "El Capataz," for instance, is a burger topped with truffle goat cheese, crispy bacon, and caramelized plantains. They also offer indulgent milk shakes like a double chocolate option wittily titled "Wonka Kong."
