Hamburguinho

A red rectangular counter serves as the only seating places at this low-key, bare-bones burger joint, whose secret sauce crowning the patties is the heavy house herbed mayo. Ask for it on the side or risk cardiac arrest. Sodas and juices come deliciously cold and sandwiches hold their form all the way to the end. The lovely view is either of the TV on one end or of the smog-choked street, so the absence of a door makes it feel like you're eating in a garage—or if you're close enough to it, outside. Blue- and white-collar guys are all equals for just that one moment in time before they continue on their disparate ways. Counter boys stay focused through it all.
