Where is blake’s lotaburger original location

He loved the burgers. I loved the BBQ Beef. I had not been back to NM since until this last week. No BBQ Beef? Uh, no, pulled pork is not going to cut it! I grew up eating at the Lota Burger on Washinton just south of Menaul. The last time I visited the Washington LB there was a guy in front of me who asked to use the phone. The lady working there then gruffly told him to get out of the way so she could take my order I loved it. Now if I could just get into town early enough to try one of their breakfast burritos.

Oh yeah, the guy was allowed to use the phone. I really appreciate having my burger cooked to order and not waiting for me under a heat lamp like so many of the big chains that I avoid. I usually order a Lota burger with cheese, green chile, mayo, grilled onions and extra tomatoes.

Top it off with an order of seasoned fries and you have a very good meal. The wait is longer than the big chains and well worth it. Tried the breakfast burrito, wasnt impressed. Tried the fish sandwich, Halibut no less, but the size of the fillet was quite small for the price. Guess what, Blakes has my favorite breakfast burrito. As some may know, Sr Plata doesnt do pig so he orders the breakfast burrito with the eggs real , potatoes, cheese, green chilie of course green and hamburger.

Yes, will come with an Itsa but possible to get the larger version with a minimal price increase. I have tried many and this is really really good and suggest breakfast burrito affectionados to try it. Price was right, enough to eat 2…. It used to be that their chile had no bite, but had some good flavors; now, it is hot, but has no real flavor. That being said, it is stil a good burger. Love the grilled onions, and of course the cripsy lettuce and juicy tomatoes and crunchy pickles…in my opinion the toppings are the star of this show.

If you are looking for a LotaBurger-like hamburger, do youreself a favor and hit Papa Burgers Gil has reviewed it on his site — thanks for introducing PBs to us Gil. I left a comment on there too, but basically, their chile is very mild and could use some scoville points, but has a good flavor, and the burger with onions already mixed in the meat is an idea whose time has been long in the making…. Born and raised in las cruces some of my favorit memories of groing up consist of going to blakes lota burger with mom and dad and my brother and sisters to enjoy a great burger and fries.

Thank you Lotta Burger for remaining one of the things I love most about our great state. Anyway, their Fish Sandwich is my frustration today. Had my first one last night. While the later could…. We are growups…let us do our own thing….. The Amer. Heart Assoc. It was impossible to get a bad hamburger. In I moved to Albuquerque and rejoiced-the good hamburger was back at Lota Burger.

For years after there was not a decent burger in Albuquerque but they are now making a comeback at places like the Coyote Diner, Bubsters and several others. All of those near my house seem to average customers per day and all others I pass by seem empty even though they are highly visible and highly praised. My family and I have found consistent quality, clean stores and friendly New Mexico people running the place. Bravo Blakes! Pull up to fast food chain in New Mexico, see the new faces serving the food and take a chance, pull up to Blakes see the old regulars serving the food and take no chances.

Get a burger at traditional chains soy get a burger at Lota Burger real hamburger. I remember when the stops on I for food could only be a Lota Burger as no chains were prevalent in New Mexico but reasonably priced burgers were available at Lota Burger. Many trips required you pack your own lunch if you wished to eat. Lota Burger made it easier in this state. I will choose to go to a place where employees make a career out of their work and I will support Blakes for being local.

That was in the fifties. I always call in my order. You almost always get what you ordered and at the same price you paid yesterday. They always insist you get three cookies when you only want one. I probably eat a Lota Burger ever two weeks, double meat and green chile. How many burgers does that add up to since or whenever it started up? First stop, every single time, was Blakes in Santa Fe. The hope is to get home sometime this year, although no one is left there in terms of family.

Forgot to mention, for a good burger in Rio Ranch, the folks there are really nice and make a great Lota Burger. The last time I ate there, a few weeks ago.

The food and friendliness took me back years…. It was really nice. Okay, I am almost convinced to give them another try…almost. He and I usually agree although he expresses himself much better when it comes to Albuquerque establishments. Maybe I will give them another chance. If they made a really good burger aftershave, it would smell like a Lota Burger. As Gil alluded to, they suffer from a consistency problem — especially when it comes to how the meat is prepared and if the grill chef is partial to squeezing the life out of a meat patty.

The late, great Blake Chanslor was on to something when he opened his first restaurant. I grew up with Lota Burgers, and for the most part, they are one of the few things that tastes as good today as it did when I was a Kid. With all due respect to the mom-and-pop shops that serve great burgers, and there are lots of them Blakes will always be one of my favorites. I frequent the one near Old Town most often. You cannot be serious? Seriously, even compare their burgers side by side to another chain like Fuddruckers!

There IS no comparison! They lose! As for their breakfast items? After all, there is only one place in town for a drive-through breakfast burrito and that is Golden Pride! As I recall the Lotaburger was they 35cents and you could get a soft drink from the machine next to the building.

Still a great burger that I sometimes describe as a high protein salad. Also, as someone who has eaten onion rings at many places, these were absolutely the best. I will never go to McDonalds or similar after having gone to Blakes. By the way, everyone is so nice and polite — they greeted us just when we walked in, and as we walked out.

Great place and great burgers! I ordered the chili pie. What a waste of money. When my husband brought our order home, all the order contained was a few very few chips wrapped in plastic wrap and a container of watery chili. Your email address will not be published.
