    ITSA Burger, onion rings, and piña colada shake.
    Natalie H.

    First time to visit a Blake's Lotaburger a few weeks ago while on a SW roadtrip. I really enjoyed my burger and onion rings, but my favorite part was the seasonal piña colada milkshake! The bits of pineapple and coconut were so flavorful, and the shake was creamy and refreshing. Wish I could get one in Oregon! Until I visit again...

    ITSA Burger, seasoned fries, piña colada shake

    Blake's is a great place to stop in Tucumcari! It's a cute classic diner with quick service. Great customizable burgers. The fries weren't my favorite, but it's worth a stop just for the shake! The pineapple and coconut chunks were delicious tidbits in a creamy, sweet shake. I'll be dreaming about that shake tonight!

    Pina Colada shakes!
    Lindsay C.

    The burgers are so good, but the Pina Colada shake is UNREAL! The ice cream had the perfect amount of sweetness and the balance of coconut and pineapple was perfect! I loved the option of fresh squeezed 100% pure orange juice! The vibes are immaculate. Loved the retro photos on the wall. The circle booth was so fun! This hole in the wall is THE place to stop in Tucumcari! Make it your next stop!

    I decided to try the local Blake's Lota Burger instead of going with the national food places. It was my first time so I asked the employee named Ray who took my order for his recommendations. I only knew I wanted some bacon on my burger. Ray recommended Blake's "New Mexico Style Lota Burger", with the Chopped Green Chili, Cheese and Bacon. He also recommended the seasoned French fries. So I went with his suggestion. The seasoned fries were amazing and reminded me of Jack In The Box seasoned fries, but Blake's are a lot better. The chopped green chili's provided a really pleasant bite of flavor. If I get a chance to eat here again before I get back on the road, I think I'd order the same thing except I'd leave off the tomato, double the pickles and double the bacon, have them salt it a little more and if it were at lunch I'd add some Jalapeños. I like that they have a lot of toppings available to choose from. I'm really glad I decided to try something new. Ray recommended the Cheesecake Milk Shake, and that sounded amazing, but I went with a diet Coke since I didn't want a lot of sugar at dinner time. I love breakfast burritos, eat them often in California and haven't bad one since I've been traveling America. So I was happy to see that Blake's has several different kinds of burritos on its breakfast menu. Ray recommeded getting a breakfast burrito with bacon, and add sausage and chopped green chili. Which is exactly what I was thinking. I don't usually mention employees in my reviews, but I asked Ray his name for this review because he was very friendly and eagerly gave me suggestions as a first time customer. The decor inside reminded me a lot of a California In-In-Out Burger style. There were several couples ordering when I arrived, and three people came in while I was waiting for my order. The counter person who took over for Ray after I ordered, talked to them like they were regulars. It says a lot about a place when it has regular frequent customers known by name. I really like the green chili on a burger.

    Before leaving New Mexico we had to try a Blake's Lotaburger- New Mexico style. Cooked fresh when ordered it was one of the burgers, cheese, lettuce, tomato, green chili yum. Nice lady took my order and was so friendly.

    My least favorite character in Breaking Bad

    This is the In N Out of New Mexico! Since 1952!! It was on Breaking Bad so I had to try it. Their claim to fame is the first hatch green chili cheeseburger. It's roasted. I don't like roasted chilies on hamburgers so I did not have it. Because it was not on the original menu I did not feel bad about this either. I wanted to be able to compare it directly with the other hamburgers that I've eaten. And.... It sorted tasted like a generic burger from a Greek hamburger stand. It was decent. Fries were the same. The onion rings were the standouts! However, the facility was rundown and dirty. I kept thinking, how can they not clean this place up and fix a few things. Honestly, the food may have tasted better if I was not thinking so much about how depressing inside the restaurant was.

    Every time I visit Tucumcari, I eat at Dells, which is very good. But this time I'm trying…read moresomething different. I decided to try La Cita. I'm glad I did! I visited on a Monday evening, around 5pm. That's usually the time us old folks eat. I had no issue getting a table. Promptly seated, I ordered a beer and my dinner. The menu is a good mix, something for everyone. I ordered the Chili Rellenos. Of course I ordered that. Hey, when in Rome..... My meal was served quick and hot. Waiting a minute to cool was definitely in the cards. No problem, I had my beer, salsa and chips to occupy me while the steam settled. After a bit, I dug in. First fork was the rice. Oh, was that rice ever good! The only problem was that there wasn't enough. I suggest that you order a side of that glorious grain. Fantastic! The refried beans, well, were ok, but just ok. The Hatch greenies, as you'd expect, were outstanding and very flavorful. I ordered them Christmas style, with green and red sauce. Both of those condiments were tasty, but of the two, the green sauce stood out. Boy did it ever. I'll be dreaming of that sauce later tonight. Hopefully my girlfriend doesn't pop into the picture.....OR, maybe she should! LoL, now that would be a dream! Don't worry about parking, as there is more than ample. You can park in the front, the back, either side, and if you're driving a big rig, pulling a trailer, or driving a tank, they've got you covered. Across the street is special parking for those vehicles. More parking outside than tables inside. Pay La Cita a visit for a romantic dinner, or as I did, by yourself....my dream trend may have helped with that. Hey, I may be old, but certainly not dead! Quick Tip: I parked in the back, and when leaving, I took the dirt alley. It was a fun adventure. I'd suggest that you do it during daylight hours though. You never know who you'll run into, or for that matter, over! Let's hope it isn't Skinny Pete or Badger.

Based off of the other Yelp reviews, I had high hopes, but unfortunately, we were let down by this place. We ordered online and ordered multiple different dishes in order to try them out. Here are the dishes that I got: Brisket Burrito: The meat was dried out and tasted several days old and reheated. The burrito also didn't seem to have the pan fried potatoes that were supposed to be in it. Tacos al Carbon: From the first bite I knew I wasn't going to eat these; the steak tasted weird, with a weird texture, and seemed old. Enchilladas: I got them with beef & green sauce; the beef had a decent flavor and texture. Stuffed Sopapilla: The sopapilla itself had a good comfort food type of taste and texture. I got it with beef & green sauce. The beef had a decent flavor and texture. As for the sides--the Mexican rice just tasted like salt, and the beans were bland and flavorless. If you're looking for fresh, yummy Mexican food--don't waste your money on this place. I have no idea how it has so many good Yelp reviews.

Lots of memorabilia to walk through and things that you could buy right now - dishes, clothes, vintage items. One large bathroom - roomy and clean with a super funny and relevant sign above the toilet. Welcomed into the place and asked if we were eating with them or was it take away. Eating In. Found the cafe part of the place stood and pondered the menu (pretty much same menu as posted in the pics) and decided what meats we each wanted on our 2 meat plate + 2 sides. Spicy sausage link with cheese, brisket, slaw and potato salad for him; ham and turkey meat for me with the beans (warned that they'd be talking later) and slaw. Each had a big slice of bread + butter and a sugar cookie. Drinks of lemonade and unsweetened tea were all you could drink and came as part of the meal. There are canned sodas and bottled Coca Cola for an extra price. I saw there was fresh coffee in the pot. All food was very delicious, fresh made, and served generous sized portions. We had so much leftovers we have a good start on tonight's dinner/supper. On the television was the Western/INSP channel with High Chaparral playing. Blast from the past. Great Wall art all over the place, and even outside on the "patio" area where there's cooking going on (spare ribs were smoking for tomorrow's customers). This looks to be a family run business with a friendly attitude. As the husband went to pay the owner-ess started to type in the credit card machine. My husband asked "Do you take cash" to which she replied "yes, we just do see it much." There ain't many a truer statement, everywhere we go it's typically the card. Husband tried to leave a tip and she wouldn't accept it. Just come on back again. I highly recommend this place as a stop over for a leisurely, friendly meal. As we left, the husband said "Nice ole folks ... Usually we have to pay for the cookie (home baked sugar cookie) and they gave it to us free as part of the meal."

    Nope. Overcharged me by a lot. Burger price said 1.99 on the kiosk and register but when I went to…read morepay, it charged 3.69 per burger. Ordered three burgers but they didn't fix the price even after they worked trying to fix it to the price listed for several minutes. I said, well do you mind throwing in an extra fry since I am paying more than advertised? Nope. So silly and took forever without fixing the issue. They said when I checked out, "well thanks for bringing this to our attention." But I didn't get the advertised price. Makes no sense. Ugh. Annoying.

    Let me first start by saying I don't eat McDonald's but maybe twice a year. I'm not a fan of "fast…read morefood". So that's the primary reason for my mid rating. This particular McD's has very friendly employees in spite of it being a busy restaurant. My order came out hot. Which we know this is rare at any McDonald's. We all love when this happens.. because it means hot fries. My burger was a fresh as it can be for McD's. I had the double cheeseburger with green chilies which was a first for me. McD's needs to introduce this burger to other location in the US. It was surprisingly very good. It even gave a little kick of spicy heat. Which y'all know I didn't mind at all. I've added a photo.. but to be honest the photo doesn't do the burger justice. I totally recommend you try the burger. "I'm loving it!" lol!
