- I put up a poll for you guys asking which fast food place in Albuquerque I should review first. Overwhelmingly, you guys chose Blake's Lotaburger. (Although all the Bob's Burgers fans are cropping up in the comments now!) Thanks for all the interaction, y'all.
And yes, I now know I should have ordered the seasoned fries...before I moved to Albuquerque, I'd never ever seen one of these in my life.

Frontier for green chile stew and one of their famous cinnamon rolls. El Bruno, but the original out in Cuba (worth the drive).
Raised on the west side of alb, live in NC now. my wife and I will be going back to alb to visit for a few days. Once a year I have to have Bob's burgers on central (the one and only)and Dion's green chili pizza.
Both Blake's on the Eastside of town have drive thru, but the one around Washington and Menaul, is awesome.
Westside Blake's on golf course and paseo has a drive through too 😁
Hello! My name is Mitch, and I very much enjoy your videos. You're quite intelligent and bluntly honest. RESPECT!
I'm a local metal musician, and I used to rent a jam space very near the Blake's location in this video. I would like to mention that there is a thriving metal music scene here in NM, based in Albs. I invite you to attend some local shows here in Albuquerque! I'm not sure if you enjoy the metal genre, but perhaps it can be a new and entertaining experience for you!
Love the videos, love the info, love the the mustache!
Thanks, man. I don't normally dig metal, but you never know!
Try New Mexico beef jerky Company on 4th, el charrito and Mac la Sierra on central, steel bender is awesome for food and beer, el modelo, and stuffys.
El Parasol is probably my favorite local fast food place. Their tacos are to die for. If you’re ever in Santa Fe or Espanola, check em out
I am from colorado but when I go down to New Mexico I always go to Blake’s
I worked for Blakes. I don't remember the veggies being on the bottom. I made 100's of them. They liquid butter the bun before toasting it. A toasted bun is the best.
Try Mac’s down Central. It right down the road from Coors but down Central
I've ate at that same Blake's restaurant in abq
I'll be flying into ABQ on 9/12. I'll have to check out one of the Blake's Lotaburger on my way to Chaco. Thanks
Lotaburger is the best. Been eating there my whole life. Lotaburgers, fried ckn sandwhiches, onion rings and breakfast burritos bacon/green are the staples.
Jasmine beat me to it. Next time you go to Lotaburger, go with the seasoned fries and try that. There is something cool to me about taking a bite of their Green Chile Lottaburger and immediately afterwards, taking a bite of their seasoned fries. I love that place.
Everybody is talking about the curly fries. Gonna have to hit them.
@@joffrethegiant The only curly fries that I can think of are at Arby's. That'd be cool if Lotaburger had curly fries. Too bad they don't (for now, anyway).
A good place to eat in my opinion is the Frontier on Central near UNM. Their tortillas are amazing and their green chili stew is awesome!!
Perfect texture!
I had my first Lotaburger experience two weeks ago. Single Green Chili Cheeseburger, seasoned fries. Had my second experience the very next day!
The green chili breakfast burrito with sausage AND bacon is THE BEST THING EVER
Just moved here from Chicago I’m stuck between Blake’s an Griff’s both fire to me
Fire in a good way, I hope!
Crazy to see someone evaluate a Blakes green chile Lotaburger, nothing else like it. Enjoy!
Thanks! I love non-crappy fast food!
I live walking distance to the Blake's in Rio Rancho and they have a drive through that I have used only once, It just takes too long to wait in the car, might as well go inside. I show a picture of one of the burgers on my instagram, the Blake's instagram picked it up to use on theirs. i'm pumped. I'm 47 yo and I have been eating Blake's green chile doubles my whole life.
yum yum
I use to work right next to that one too.. there was a door company next to it
Those Hatch chillies are absolutely Amazing! 2 Bad the closest Blakes to me is like 1,360 Miles away. Lol
Blakes, Griffs, Golden Pride, Bobs Burgers, Julians Burgers and More, Twisters are all awesome local fast food all better the mainstream fast food chains.
Twisters is YUCK.
Mr. Joffrey! I recommend trying El Patron on Montgomery n Eubank. The serrano cream sauce is very yummy! Serrano cream sauce enchiladas (your choice of meat, can even choose carne adobada!) with a side of calabacitas! the margaritas there are actually good, using real lime juice.
There are many great burger joints in Albuquerque. But my favorite is the green chili cheese burger from Albuquerque city limits located on the south side of town @ Coors and Rio Bravo. You will not be disappointed one bit.
I'll have to check it out. You're not the first to mention it!
Hey I'm hungry and it's only breakfast time!!! Going to that place to try it out. Thanks Joffre!
I worked at the airport rd Santa Fe location in 1992. Still occasionally crave a green chili cheeseburger
You have got to check out Little Red Hamburger Hut! They're on Mountain (downtown) and open for lunch only. Get there early! They run out of food and space quick
They we sooooo much better in 1980 when I moved to Albuquerque. Now it seems very disappointing and I've tried several locations along with a single or double but still leaves me feeling sad. The Grill on San Mateo or Laguna burger are much more satisfying. Give them a try.
Will do!
As many have said, Golden Pride for a breakfast burrito. Try the one on Lomas by the hospital, just to use the strangest drive through ever.
ABQ, cool city, lived there for a year, affordable, easy to get around, nice weather, would love to live there with a car, I rode the bus, would live there again.
I wish someone would open a fast food vegie place with fresh squeezed fruit juices like watermelon and cantaloupe. In Taos we have Freshie. In my dreams I drive up and order an iced watermelon drink on a hot day in Albuquerque. DO IT someone! You'll make a fortune.
And fruit cups like they sell in Mexico with chunks of pineapple and berries sprinkled with a chile mix of red and spices and lime. YUM!
That IS delicious.
Theres a Salvadorian joint idk if its still there called Papusa and they make amazing fruit drinks. They slice up fruits right in the back. You hear the ladies cutting it up. They have crushed ice and mix it. Man i was like wow. It took awhile but it was worth it. First time i ever had Papusa and coleslaw with vinegar. Tasted ok. I think it called Papusa. NW valley.
Blake's is AWESOME!!! Best Green-Chile Cheeseburger ever!! 🍔
Give Griff’s Hamburgers a try sometime. It’s on Central and Wyoming. Used to be all up and down Route 66 but now there’s about 13 left in the US. The Double Giant combo will keep you full all day. Get a strawberry shortcake too just for kicks.
Nice video! Why no seasoned fry?? Gotta go season fry with Blakes
That's what everyone's saying.
Fud Rucker’s is pretty amazing as well!
The best Blake’s IMO is the one on Washington. Also try Mac’s Steak in the Rough and get, well, the steak and the rough. But go inside, the drive thru service sucks. And Bob’s Burgers on Central. Get either the foot long chile dog or the taco burger or both. When it comes to Bob’s, the further south you go in the city the hotter the Chile. Enjoy!
Interesting about the chile...
Years ago I worked at the one in Phoenix. (Not there anymore)
Ours has a drive through but we never use it because it is soo slow, like 30 minutes slow. We order inside and it is always good.
Kimo’s Hawaiian BBQ is even closer for lunch. A must try.
I've heard rave reviews.
u should also try the burito with patos and red chile and no egg it also comes with bacon i don't live in abq but live close
I miss my New Mexico
Here are 10 places you should try
1)K&I Diner
2) El Medelo
3) Garcia's Mexican food
4) Slice pizza and wine
5) Griffs
6) Jades Chinese Food
7) Golden pride
8) Lollies Restaurant
9) Dog house
10) Long horn
My family and I like these places to eat at!!
Try GrassBurger at Montgomery and Juan Tabo. They are delicious! And the fries are tasty too! Then walk next door to Menchies for frozen yogurt!
El Modelo next!!! Try the mexican plate but swap out the taco for something else unless you like green beans on a taco. I miss the food and friends but that's about it.
Well, I gotta try green beans on a taco...I think I could dig it.
@@joffrethegiant whatever floats your boat!
I don’t eat fast food but your video is very convincing. I’m more tempted now than ever & I live so close to one.
Give in!
Thanks for watching. 😀
Shout out from santa Fe 💕
Gotta try Bob's Burgers with green & Red Chile fries
Try Blake’s breakfast burritos with Christmas Chile! And seasoned fries
I hope you have tried dions already cause it's the best sandwich salad and pizza place in my opinion and has very yummy ranch!!
Not yet!
Oh ya and the breakfast burritos in the morning are delicious
Cool. I'll be going to Blake's in Las Cruces tomorrow. Green Chile burger!
God I miss Blake's wish they would open one in phx
try mac's la sierra near coors and central on the west side...nice little coffee house with some of the best food in town
I can't wait to go back home in Oct. Blake's is on my list of foods. I've lived in Florida for 14 years now. Who can recommend an awesome authentic Mexican restaurant?
A great breakfast/lunch place is Santiago’s on Eubank !
Okay, cool. I don't usually do breakfast, but it seems to be a big thing around here!
Cool videos Sir. I like an outside perspective of the city since I'm a transplant as well.
Thanks. I'm having fun with it.
OMG I live in Santa Fe which is like 30 minutes away from Albuquerque
If your driving 110 mph from Santa Fe to ABQ
You should go to bobs burgers it is to die for but you have to go to the one in the south valley on central
The seasoned fries are everything.
Growing up in the 70s and 80s, we had extended family in Silver City, Grant County, Gila Wilderness area. In Silver there was a Blake's, a Sonic was next door. As kids we wanted hamburgers. I suggested Sonics, I'm 8 so what do I know... My Aunt and Mom, in unison No! If we're going fast food we're going to Blake's!!!!
35 years later, I'm stationed at Kirtland AFB in the ABQ area. On my way home from work, tired, hungry, and grumpy. I stop by a Blake's on my way home. Yeah, I had to wait... The burger was hot and cheesy, the Pepsi was cold and large, the fries were crispy. I got home ate, and forgot why I was grumpy!
What really impressed me about Blake's was their bfast Burrito 🌯. Not a little freakin taco.
The Burrito 🌯 was big, filled w/shreddee hasbrowns (my favorite) cheese..., and of course crispy bacon. All you need is one.
While I lived in ABQ, Blake's was always on my rotation. It brought back fond childhood memories in Silver. Caused me to forget my grumpiness. For the price, it was a value.
I'm still impressed by Blake's myself.
Or the huevos rancheros with green at Perea's
I love Blake's, green chili and cheese burger. I also like their burger with the "Blakes" chili on it. It's the chili they put on a hot dog. Never have cared for the fries though. Like the onion rings though.
Golden Pride is a great place for a breakfast burrito. Blake's also has a good breakfast burrito, but it weighs about a pound. It's huge.
One pound breakfast burrito... Could be a good thing, could not.
@@joffrethegiant Two meals.
Oh, try Powdrells
Yes! The bbq burrito is SOOOO GOOD!
That is one cool sign!!!
As an ex-pat, I never leave the state without stopping at the Lotaburger in Espanola for a Lotaburger with green chile and cheese and a large fries. And as far as a recommendation goes......Los Cuates in ABQ.
Los Cuates is good indeed.
Mmmm! I know what im getting when I get off work. 😎
Good video. Thanks for posting.
My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it!
Check out Griffs on Central and Wyoming my favorite
Okay! A few people have suggested that one.
Can't forget the munchers instead of fries
Oh by the way you need to go eat at Quarter Celtic Brew Pub!!! The food and craft beer if the BOMB!! I’m a line cook there and we make everything from scratch!☺️☺️
Cool. Great to know!
watching this late at night in a down with no fast food and dang this looks good!! probably better i live where i do though lol
Yeah, I'd say so. 😁
Juliens burgers and more and must try griffs as well
Am from New York City tried this burger 🍔. It’s really good. Better then McDonald’s Burger King etc. need a few of Blake’s lots burgers in NYC. For sure
I get a triple meat green chili cheese burger and it's awesome. Also summer hasn't started yet hahaha
Fair warning.
This guys funny.. “just gonna drive around” 😂
Blake's would go the extra mile and put their ketchup in small dipping containers before manufacturers finally got smart and did it. They built a location in my dad's hometown, Bayard, in 1979 I think, a place that doesn't even have a traffic light.
Blake's in Farmington NM has a drive thru. On Broadway. They make the best breakfast burritos! If you're ever in the area.
Lotta combo double meat double cheese and green chile, get the bun grilled not toasted, onion rings... Dr Pepper or Coke, get an extra shot of vanilla.... sometimes they do a peach shake as a special thing, friggen delicious. Patties are not frozen when they hit the grill they have a special refrigerated cooler so they’re thawed... they used to advertise angus beef, been awhile since I’ve seen that advertised. 1000 Island? No, should just be regular mustard, if they gave you dressing you got played...
There was something pinkish in there...
A lot of places in New Mexico people are going to recommend you try are good places but if you’re expecting an “amazing” meal, you’re probably going to leave disappointed or wondering what the fuss is about (as an outsider).
Blake’s is good, no doubt. Every time I go home, I try to eat there. (Double meat, green chile, cheese, mustard, regular fries, vanilla Dr Pepper). Is it the best burger you’ll ever have? Probably not. Is golden pride the best breakfast burrito you’ll ever have? Probably not. But they’re both good. The list goes on...
A lot of recommendations you’ll get are based on nostalgia. I’m sure this is true of many places but especially of New Mexico. Going to Blake’s with my dad for lunch is one of my earliest memories. I tell people all the time, if you want to taste New Mexico, Blake’s is ONE place to try. I never tell them it’s the best burger they’ll have but it is a very New Mexican staple.
Until you understand that about New Mexico, you’ll never really understand the state. It’s a place of deep traditions and pride. For example, New Mexicans can criticize, make fun of, and complain about New Mexico, but you can’t because you’re not a New Mexican. It’s like a dysfunctional family that fights all the time but still loves each other. Within that family there are different factions both geographically and culturally that have their own twist on being New Mexican. Growing up there, I pretty much considered eastern New Mexico to be Texas and southern New Mexico to only be important for green chile, the Butte and White Sands. (Which isn’t true) Haha!
As New Mexicans, we think our food is amazing, and green chile is king. It is really good and I crave it now that I live out of the state. My freezer is still full of green chile. That’s a must! But with eating New Mexican food, you have to understand, you’re tasting and experiencing a culture, not necessarily the best meal of your life, even though we tell you it is. I don’t think a lot of Americans appreciate that aspect when eating food in the United States. Not in the same manner they would when visiting a place like Italy, for example. And I’m not comparing Italian food and New Mexican food. More the importance the food is to our culture. As Americans we tend to discredit different “American” cultures within our own country.
Anyways... just my two-cents... If you really want to feel like a New Mexican, you have to find a little hut or stand on the side of the road where someone has a big cauldron of boiling oil on a fire and is making fry bread. There used to be place like this on the reservation off the road up to the Jemez. Or go to a matanza. Belen has a big one every year. Drive over to Gallup and eat at Jerry’s Cafe then take your wife shopping for jewelry. You just missed the Gallup Inter Tribal Indian Cermionial which is definitely a unique experience. You need to hike the La Luz trail. The state fair is coming up and that should be an interesting experience for you. Rafting down the Chama. There’s a lot... you just have to eat Golden Pride when you wake up and are on your way to do these things, Blake’s for lunch between experiences, fry bread as your afternoon snack, and your favorite New Mexican restaurant for dinner once the day is done. Then you’ll get it. Haha.
Detailed two cents. Love it. Thank you!
Joffre The Giant I admit, that was a loaded two cents... 🤷🏻♂️ haha
Try AJIACO Colombian Bistro for the best empanadas, my grandma and grandpa own the place on Silver street. El Pinto is also a great mexican restaurant.
When I need Brazilian food the next best thing is Colombian. You can count on me showing up!
Next time try season fries 🍟there real good a lot better meal all together with those fries
Couldn't agree more jasmine
hello fellow maes lmao
Let's grab a chile burger sometime
Amen to that! I think ima head to lotaburger now👍
Didn't they used to make their own ketchup?
Blake's is better than Whataburger, I agree.
I go for the regular fries, but seasoned are good as well.
should definitely try the onion rings, they have the best imo.
I miss Blake's BBQ sandwiches, sadly they don't sell them anymore.
Born & Raised in Albuquerque, Blake’s is always a go to for a nice Burger!!
If you want a really good pizza place here in town, you should try saggios definitely my favorite restaurant here in town. The pizza is delicious but I personally love the subs there more than the pizza.
Odale' brother! Blake's Lota Burger is badass and of course being native New Mexican, I was privileged to grow up with these all around. But, if you want an awesome burger, drive to Bosque Farms (going towards Los Lunas) and try the Benny King Burger from Benny's Burgers! Trust me bro, you'll love it!
The spicy fries are the best. You should also try the double.
Try their breakfast burritos.... Love them when I'm coming into town in the early am..
A lot of people in Albuquerque will tell you to go to" Bob's burgers" for their green chili burgers and their chili fries. But let me tell you this. It is not better than "Julian's burgers and More"
"Julian's" has the best green chili burgers ever. Also there red and green chili fries are hot and flavorful. I recommend "Julian's".
Frontier (it's the same food as golden pride but more menu options)
Everyone has to go there at least once and get a sweet roll.
Frontier doesn't have the fried chicken and sides...but yes amazing! Owner is my landlord😉
Lota Burger 'tis the best! If you get up to Santa Fe you might like Horseman's Haven. Great food including the burger but beware; the green chile is by far the hottest around! If you love really really hot, request a sample of the "Stage 2". True fire!
Best burgers in town!!!!
This has been a cold summer for ABQ.
Hurricans off of Lomas! The breakfasts is the shit! Red chili enchiladas with fried eggs on top with tortillas and coffee 😇
P.S: Golden Pride’s burritos! With a lime coke!
You gotta try El Modelo on 2nd street .... stuffed sopapillia or a chicharron burrito with refried beans and cheese. Or the red enchiladas with two eggs on top.... you'll be hooked!
NM Beef Jerky Co is much better.
NM Beef Jerky Co and El Modelo are both great but they aren't comparable. They're too different.
@@DomesticDabbler Correct. I'll take a stuff sopa from El Modelo, but chicharone wise, NM Beef Jerky co. And the burritos are great too.
@@donnyd7485 I agree the chicharonnes from NM Jerky are great. I actually love NM Jerky we eat there atleast weekly. And Modelo is another of our favorites. But I wouldn't even begin to compare them beyond the chicharonnes. Everything is so different.
Yes!!!! Absolutely have to go
You gotta try the asada tacos at Tex Mex on 4th st. $1 taco Thurdsays.
Ya gotta try SAGGIOS PIZZA ....with some roasted green chili added to your toppings.......also i remember blakes lotaburger being way better as a kid, it was way better bigger thicker patties and tons of french fries with plenty of salt kinda like steak fries and also you can request grilled onions and have the buns toasted a bit......
Breakfast burritos are da bomb!
You should try bobs burgers. They’re really good!
Dog House and El Modelo and Bobs Burgers
