The 18 Best Burgers In Austin 2024

"We’ve seen hamburguesas with a lot of different toppings, but at Cuantas Hamburguesas (from the Cuantos Tacos team) you can choose from a list of combos that grow increasingly unhinged—from cheese and chopped onions to one with a smashed longaniza patty and a costra cheese corn tortilla. But none of them feel like novelty toppings. If they did, we wouldn’t have found ourselves back twice in the same week. Thanks to a well-seasoned foundation of caramelized beef and a soft, toasted bun, these are burgers worth a hefty detour for technical precision alone—though the one topped with sliced hot dogs might fall somewhere in the (tasty) middle.  " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
