El Hamburguer

$
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.
