I've been eating at Lotaburger probably most of my life since I grew up here. It's a burger joint. Expectations cannot be too high... It's good, greasy fast food. HOWEVER... With the new drive-thru, I've noticed a change in the attitude of the employees... And today marked the first time I am actually gonna stay away from one of your stores for good... It's a shame cuz it's my neighborhood Lotaburger, but I would wager that no one likes to be laughed at or made fun of while ordering overpriced, greasy fast food at a drive up on a Friday at 4:00. I may try another location, but for now, no thanks. I know, one review isn't a thing... I can guarantee there will be more, these people hate the customers. They do not care about YOUR reputation and YOUR BRAND is only as good as your lowest-paid employee. read more

We were in Santa Fe and tried a few places that were full, and out of complete desperation because of having not eaten in like 12 hours tried this place. For fast food, it ain't bad, but I don't get the whole excitement about the green chili vibe. Still, it did the trick in a pinch. read more

While visiting ABQ decided to take a day trip to Santa Fe. I had the lottaburger nm style, w green chili and all the trimmings, onion rings. I give it a 9/10. Wife said her burger was ok, as did everyone else. My some really enjoyed the chili dog. P.s. get the seasoned fries, so much better than regular fries. Service was good, they forgot one order of medium fries, but they fixed it when I pointed it out. Restrooms were clean. read more

The burger was the fastest burger I had ever received. It was also delicious kind of like a cheaper version of 5 guys. The service was easy and there's only a few options so deciding really isn't a factor. I want to try the breakfast and I will. The place kind of just is a fast food type style sit down quick vibe your in and your out. read more

Blake's Lotaburger - Burgers Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Soooo GOOD! And VERY reasonably priced too!!! Hubs had the Lota Burger and enjoyed it. He doesn't rave about food the way I do, so when he says "This burger is pretty good" without me even asking means he LOVED it. My Frito Pie was OUTSTANDING! The flavor was really good and the serving size was great! It's the kind of place that you go to for the food, NOT the ambiance. If I'm ever in Santa Fe again, I'll make it a point to come back. read more

Decided to go here since it was 8:30pm and this place was open until 10pm. Ordered 5 sandwiches and when we got home realized they only provided 4 of them! Then tried to call back and no one answered the phone. Ridiculous! read more

This was my first time to Lotaburger and I was pretty skeptical. I'm glad I was proven wrong! I got the New Mexico special burger and it was perfect. Two flavorful patties and a little bit of chile on top to provide a nice kick. read more

Always good food. Friendly staff and the locations have always been clean. Those green chile cheese burgers are SPOT ON read more

Typical burger shop. It reminds me of a cousin of Burger King in how the burger taste and smell charbroiled. Everything tasted fresh and the burgers were made to order. I ordered a Lotta Burger with bacon and fries with a strawberry shake. The strawberry shake tasted too artificial. Certainly didn't taste like it was prepared with real strawberries. Overall an OK experience and definitely a burger place to try if you desire a fresh, traditional burger. read more

My first Lotaburger and hands down the best on the go burger I've ever had! Patties were tender and juicy. Buns are perfectly sized for the burger. Condiments are well portportioned and burger stayed intact to the last bite. read more

Can't believe I'm giving this small chain burger stand 4 stars. It reminds me of Dairy Queen and kind of expected little from this place. We wanted a green chili burger and Real Burger was closed. Other places too packed or closed for the new year. So hesitantly we pulled into Blake's. We both ordered a green chili burger combo. The fries were very good and fresh. The burger was as fresh and hot as I've ever seen! They cook everything after you order. No pre cooked patty's our fries under a heat lamp here. From the fire to you! Impressive. The burger was delicious! At first I didn't see any green chilis but I looked between the two beef patty's and there was a bunch of diced chilies there. And it was perfect. 4 stars instead of 5 for lack of tables and while the produce was fine, I'm not a fan of iceberg lettuce, and the tomato was mushy. All still good, but for a few cents more, they could have an over the top burger with better produce. All in all I do recommend this Blake's. A very pleasant surprise. read more

I have been a faithful Blake's customer for over 40 years and my wife and I have eaten several thousand burgers at their various locations. A few days ago I decided to try the chili cheesedog. Huge mistake! It was absolutely disgusting and inedible - the wiener tasted like it had been soaked in hot chilis, the chili itself was greasy and the bun was chewy. After one bite I was done and went up to the counter and said that I couldn't eat it and ordered a Lotaburger instead. The shift manager was right there counting money at the next register and never looked up to address the issue. I was charged for the burger, which was delicious as always, and there was no apology or acknowledgement from anyone. Afterwards, I called the corporate office and was asked to leave a recorded message, which I did, stating the above mentioned situation. Nobody has bothered to call me back, so apparently Blake's doesn't care and doesn't want my business. As a matter of principle I will no longer patronize Blake's if this is how they wish to treat a good customer. At least I can still go to Realburger. Adios Blake's! read more

They figured out how to ruin a perfectly good Chili cheese dog. I couldn't order it on the phone and I really was in the mood for a chili dog for lunch Total disappointment. I ordered personally at the counter and waited. I saw some dogs on a grill but I think minecwas nuked It is like leather read more

Bun was a bit dry and there was not enough green chili. Otherwise it was delicious. I will stop at a Blake's every time I visit New Mexico. The one on The Paseo Norte in Taos is my favorite. read more

Blake's Lotaburger - Burgers Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Best food I've had in a long time good stuff I love the New Mexico style and the seasoned fries with Blake's sauce

Absolutely the worst Lotaburger meal ever. I was looking forward to a burger all day and decided to grab one on the way home from work. I called my order in and was pretty happy with the automated ordering system. I got to the restaurant and was happy it wasn't too busy. It took about 5 minutes before my order was ready and I was in and out really quickly. The staff was polite. The problem? The smallest portion of greasy seasoned fries I've ever seen. They cost $2.50! The burger? Tasted like it had been sitting on the grill for hours. Blakes is an institution in NM. My friends that have moved away always want to stop in, until recently. The service has always been expectedly slow, but now the food is hit and miss; more and more frequently a miss. Too bad. read more

Blake's Lotaburger - Perhaps the smallest $2.50 order of fries ever? This is a Blake's medium seasoned fries order. - Burgers Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Local New México fast food burgers. I was surprised how good the hatch green chili burger was. Service good Ambience old fast food place

I find it funny that people want to act like food critics with Lotaburger. You know it's bad for you so don't complain as you're chewing that burger and getting your phone screen greasy with your thumbs. Just chew it and be happy. I will say that this parking lot is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Fix it already. You're building a brand new location in Pojoaque and you can't even fix this busted parking lot. Do better. read more

I ordered 2 Blake's Burgers with BACON and Cheese to go last week. When I got our burgers home, we found out that NO BACON had been out on either burger!!! I wasn't going to drive back in the HEAT to complain. However, I will expect to get 2 orders of BACON FOR FREE in my next order. The food was quite good. The point is being charged an extra $1.60 + tax for something we did not receive. read more

Love the burgers customer service is great hot and fast service restaurant is clean will definitely be back

When I'm in Sante Fe this is the place for a burger! Cooked fresh and fast. Fries are not my fav but the burger will not disappoint!!

I had my heart set on stopping by a Blake's Lotaburger for a Green Chile Cheeseburger while in New Mexico, and it lived up to the expectations! And what I mean by expectations is a greasy, fast food version of a New Mexican staple. We had dinner at another spot, then walked around Meow Wolf for a couple hours, and on our way back to the hotel drove by a Lotaburger (it's a local chain a la In N Out, so you're generally never too far from one) and I just had to pull through to take one back to the hotel room. Ordered a burger with cheese & chile and added a Cherry Chocolate Shake. Shake was eh BUT this is about that burger. Meat was juicy, bun soft, cheese melty, and green chile plentiful...and spicy. Like the perfect amount of spice. I also appreciated that the burger didn't have much else to muddle up the main flavors. No tomatoes, no mustard, nothing else. Felt like a rite of passage. I'm now a New Mexican and nobody can tell me otherwise (only kinda kidding...). read more

I've been to this blakes several times and every time it's a disappointment. Yesterday I ordered the breakfast burrito. You know the one. With bacon cheese eggs hash browns and GREEN CHILE! Apparently, this blakes thinks there is a world wide shortage of green chile. (Well. Maybe there is). But in New Mexico there is not. Since I tasted no spice of delight I decided to investigate. During the surgery, it was determined this breakfast burrito had not one, but two whole pieces of chopped green chile. What the heck? Also. Such sloppy folding of a simple burrito. And burnt slice (note the singular) of bacon. It was a giant mess that found its way into the trash. Luckily, the blakes near where I live is usually much better. (However even they have a hard time getting an order right. But that's another story). Sorry blakes, st michaels street. You've lost a customer for good this time. read more

Blake's Lotaburger - Green chile Lotaburger with cheese. - Burgers Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Seriously just great burgers. The New Mexican style is so good. This place is a must.

I love a double itsa burger with green chile and cheese. I try to resist the seasoned fries but usually fail. Breakfast burritos are good, acceptable for a town filled with them. Their online ordering is fantastic read more

Blake's is a New Mexico chain and has been around for years and I have many happy memories of stopping by for a fresh burger (with green chili and cheese of course) and eating it on those funky outdoor tables. And Jeanne d. is right, the onion rings (light and crispy) are superb! read more

Lotaburger! All one word. Fast food New Mexico style. New Mexico owned and operated. This is a chain of 76 hamburger joints that are only in the Land of Enchantment. Can't get one in Texas or Arizona. The one on St. Michaels is my favorite, probably because I've eaten in here more than any of the others - at least a couple hundred times - no I'm not making this up! Besides the staff seems extra nice and efficient in here. They don't do drive-through, so you actually have to get out of your car and walk in. They have a few tables outside, but none inside. You just walk up to the counter, order, wait just a couple minutes and take your food back to your car or sit on one of the outside tables. Most folks pick up and go back to work and eat. They have great green chili cheeseburgers & great chili-cheese hotdogs (not bean chili, but real green chili). Fresh french fries that taste like someone just sliced and fired them. Hey, maybe they did! I love that they have fresh fast food and not stuff that's been shaped and frozen and all dried out before it even hits the grill. And the real "lotaburger" is huge! I've never finished one, but again I'm not a big eater. I always go for the "itsaburger." More my size. But, hey, if you've never tried one you should just jump in with both feet . . try the Lotaburger. Ask for extra napkins . . . you are going to need them. read more

Best standard breakfast burrito in the area. There's nothing "fancy" about them but Blake's nails the ingredients: flour tortilla, scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese, and hash browns. I skip the sauce and use my own. read more

Half of my food was missing and it was all cold. Plus the cook kept playing with his mask, and he answered the phone and didn't wash his hands. Poor hygiene for sure. read more

I like this Lotaburger because they seem to prepare my orders faster than at most locations. I usually stick to a double Lotaburger with cheese and green chile. I'll get the combo if I'm craving fries or need a drink, but usually I can do with just the sandwich. read more

Blake's Lotaburger - Lota combo with shake - Burgers Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Clean place, friendly staff and delicious season fries. The lotta burger is great and their chicken sandwich is worth Having. My only hang up on always going here is the wait time and lack of a drive through. read more

While on vacation in New Mexico we passed several of these fast food places and I will admit they peaked my curiosity. So before we left back to Colorado from our well deserved vacation I made it a goal to have a Lotaburger !! We opted to try one of the locations in Sante fe as research indicated they were established and headquarted in Albuquerque. So we opted for lunch and the thing that interested me in lotaburger was the fact they put green chili on their burgers, optional of course. As we waited for our order I was amazed at the amount of people that came in for lunch, as I watched the staff crank out the burgers I noticed how the order was checked and verified moving down the line up until it was placed in the bag I ordered a double with green chili, cheese and bacon. Ill admit it and I undersand its only a little burger joint with outside seating and limited seating inside, but give it a shot if your in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed all our meals and recommend trying this burger joint and add the green chili since that is New Mexico is known for. read more

I have always loved Blake's. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the automated system is horrible. Had to hang up and call back three times. Go back to having a human answer please. read more

Blake's Lotaburger - Burgers Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

As a native New Mexican, I love the food, but am disappointed in the shrinking burger. The "Lotaburger" is now an itsaburger. I haven't had an itsaburger in a while, but can imagine it should be re-named wherestheburger. Just charge more and bring back the old burger sizes! Don't be cheap! WHERE'S THE BEEF??? : ( read more

Read all the reviews and I know they can't make everyone happy. The burger was good, quit the best I've ever had but it wasn't 20 bucks either. For the money this place is solid. The onion rings were good as were the fries. If I lived here I'd eat here regularly. read more

Blake's Lotaburger will always be my favorite fast food burger spot!!!! And, they have yummy breakfast burritos. Great value and the chile is delicious. read more

I tried their NM style burger. First time. It lacked flavor. Yes, it was edible. Nothing objectively wrong. It was just underwhelming.
