A New Mexico Staple

50 years ago, Blake's Lota Burger opened in Albuquerque and now there are over 75 locations all over NM.
Needless to say...I've been enjoying the green chili cheeseburgers here for over 30 years.

In some cities, there's a Starbucks on every corner. In Albuquerque, there's a Lota Burger on almost every corner. I'm kidding, but they really are everywhere.

Look for the sign with the goofy guy on it. See my attached pix.

The main draw are the green chili cheeseburgers, but you don't HAVE to have green chili on them. The cherry shakes are to die for and the fries....the potatoes still have the skins on them.

Lota Burger has hot dogs, seasoned fries, (the regular fries are better) onion rings, chicken sandwiches, fish sandwiches, handmade shakes and your regular burger place fare.

Take note...all sandwiches and fries are cooked to order, meaning nothing has been sitting around, waiting for you to order it. The ground beef is grade A choice beef and the fries are cut fresh everyday.
That's why to food is so good here.

If you happen to pass one (and you will)...stop in and have treat yourself to a green chili cheese burger...you won't regret it! And don't forget the cherry shake......
