  1. First visit impressions, food was great! I had the Cheese- Tudo, and I know why the reviews here are so high.

    This flavorful Brazilian hamburgao sandwich has the usual compliments of stacks of ingredients, but here for the first time I can identity each by taste and texture. The hamburger patty is flavorful and thick, draped in ham, mozzerella cheese, topped with a delicate yet firm egg and the most crispy, delicious bacon, fresh juicy tomato, a crisp huge romaine leaf, and the ubiquitous potato sticks and corn, all held together on a large, fresh Portuguese roll which I topped off with the house secret sauce.

    I just finished my last bite, and I admit, I am a fan of this little place, cute interior, quiet street for Newark, lots of windoes, friendly staff, a true winner!

    for the best Hamburgao I've ever had.

  2. My friend raved about is place, and it sure
    lived up to the hype!

    The cheese tudo burger was awesome! Definitely gonna try to come here before every Red Bulls game now. Can't wait to try more next time I go.

  3. I was excited to see this place on Burgerland…on The Travel Channel..because i don't eat burgers..but seafood —yes i do!

    Came here around 8 PM and there were about 10 people in there. its a small place, nothing fancy at all..usually i bring a bottle of vodka or two..but hey it was Tuesday night..gotta be up early..but i deff. have room for some food.

    The Sandwich de Tilapia was great! it was 4.50, and was a great–big piece of fried Tilapia….perfectly fried and declicious…It was on a big roll with some lettuce and onions and cant remember what else. I drowned my sandwich in the orange/pink sauce that was on the table…it was like a weird mayo…

    Deff get the Risolis De Camarao—basically shrimp and cheese in fried goodness. It was so good, but sadly there was only one left. Deff gotta get my ass down here earlier to get about 5.

    Desserts–

    Brigadeiro–a choc mouse type ball covered in sprinkles..it was good and sweet but really really rich. i could only really eat half of it.

    Cajuznho—peanut ball..same as above but peanut butter flavor, i enjoyed this one much more,

    I had a great time–the food came out quickly and was Delicious. The potato sticks on sandwiches were great & just because someone doesn't eat a meat burger doesn't mean you cant enjoy this place.

  4. Food: Great
    Service: Very Good
    Ambience: Brazilian street cafe or what I imagine it is like

    This is a little hole in the wall place with great burgers. What I always get is a cheese egg burger. Which is a burger, with cheese, mayo, egg, corn, potato sticks, tomato and lettuce and it is big. You do not come here if you want fancy it's sloppy but oh so good. As I understand it they bake their own buns which are great on their own.
    The place is usually packed.
    They also have fresh juice of various fruits that I recommend as well. They also have really great empanadas and croquets.
    I have never tried them because I am so stuffed but their desserts are supposedly outstanding as well.
    I usually love the entire experience.
    Highly recommended for burger lovers

  5. Come with people you can share with.  If you try and finish one hamburgao on your own, I don't think you'll want to come back for a long time.

    I ordered one to share and even with that, it put me over.  Price certainly can't be beat.  Next time I'll bring some wet naps.  Parking can be a little tough but not like finding parking in Manhattan.

    The fruit juices is a little iffy for me.  I ordered papaya juice and for some reason didn't taste all that fresh.

  6. This place perpetually gives me bowel issues. Yet, I keep on coming back. I believe that paradox best captures the essence of comfort food.

    Their burgers are an ethnic amalgam of flavors, textures and grease. I realize I am indulging in a decadent palate of competing tastes and unusual additions piled on top of each other, but I still keep adding more of their sauce.

    Setup is in between that of a small, modest, family restaurant and a fast food joint so it should suffice whether you're taking a small crowd of relatives or if you need to sober up with potato stix.

  7. Hamburgao looks like the kind of place I would find back home — interior looks like a down-to-earth deli that you could probably find high schoolers in. I ordered the Cheese Tudo and was underwhelmed. The random combination of ham all the way to potato sticks just didn't mesh well to me and it's one of those times where the phrase "less is actually more" makes complete sense. I also hate when burgers just fall apart so at the end of my meal I had a piece of bread there, meat over there and potato sticks everywhere. I found myself daydreaming of Shake Shack.

    I would like to say however that the service is pretty good. Our waitress didn't speak one lick of English but she was friendly enough to try to converse with us.

  8. You add the "ão" suffix to Portuguese words to describe huge things. The burger here could just be called a "hamburga," but that doesn't quite do these burgers justice. Because Hamburgão's burgers are, quite simply, incredibly large and in charge. Whenever I'm back home, I always make a point to stop by Hamburgão for my "large burger" fix.

    I always go with the trusty Cheese Tudo: burger patty, mozzarella, ham, bacon, fried egg, potato sticks, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, and corn. This thing is massive, and costs under seven bucks to boot! The meat is cooked well-done so it can be a little dry, but the burger itself is still decadent. If I want to punish my stomach, I also get a Coxinha. Imagine a pear, but filled with chicken and deep-fried.
