Ultimate Burger Smack-Down: Burger #4: The Frita Doble Con Queso

That, my friends, is true beauty. Meet the Frita Doble Con Queso, or "Double Cuban Burger with Cheese," all the way from El Mago de las Fritas in West Miami.

What makes a "Cuban burger" different than your "basic boring old American burger," you ask? I think I'll let the
Burger Beast, as he calls himself, enlighten you:

"
A Frita or Cuban Hamburger is usually a combination of ground beef, chorizo and spices topped with onions, homemade julienne potatos, and ketchup on a cuban bread roll. El Mago [the chef at El Mago de las Fritas] claims there is no chorizo in his frita but I don’t believe him. The Frita has a very distinct flavor and will cause a flavor explosion in your mouth. There is no burger that tastes anything like this."

For more details on this stunning burger and many others available in and around the Miami area, check out
