Best burgers in town. In my opinion of course. I've been there many times and still enjoy the burgers and coxinhas as the first day.

Today was my first time ever coming here and I will definitely be coming back! The Hamburgao with picanha was amazing, definitely a little messy, but totally worth it! The inside was really clean and the ladies were very friendly. Definitely don’t let the location stop you from checking it out, best 12 burger you’ll ever spend!

I don't live in Newark, but the train ride over is worth it for Hamburgao. Probably the best fries I've had in years? An amazing balancing act of interesting and delicious? Affordable and delicious? Can't wait until there's something like this in the city.

We tried it for the first time, we ordered the Beef Hamburger, comes with grilled steak, tomate, mozzarella cheese, roman lettuce, some kind of bread which is really good, everything tasted healthy. They have pink sauce for your desire. I liked a lot.

Delicious. Found this gem while getting off highway traffic. Number 1 is their basic burger with steak, ham, bacon, egg, tomato, lettuce, mayo, corn and crispy potato sticks.. like potato chips in a burger. Fries are crispy with a little seasoning and breading. We also ordered the pastel de carne which is like an empanada and our kids loved it. The chicken balls were recommended but they are a bit doughy. Kids meals are awesome for 5. Will definitely be back to try #3 which is the hamburgao with sirloin steak for 50 cents more. Their freshly squeezed orange juice is amazing too!! Look forward to trying their desserts next time.

I had a ham egg and cheese sandwich, it was amazing. I also got an orange, pineapple, mango smoothie and that was to die for. I'm ordering from there again tomorrow

I had a fantastic ham, egg, and cheese sandwich. I also purchased an incredible orange, pineapple, and mango smoothie. Tomorrow, I'll inquire from there once more.

The kids meal was the cutest thing it came with a complimentary gummy candy for my toddler! The prices were reasonable and has a Brazilian taste you can only get at Hamburgao on Lafayette in the Ironbound! The staff is welcoming! And you can tell everyone was enjoying their meal! I can’t wait to go back this summer 2025! There is an ice cream shop steps always and close walking distance from ferry st and independence park
