With all the new burger restaurants and burger trends popping up, it's easy to forget that you've already had access to great burgers for decades. Rex's is exactly that place! The people are super friendly, the dining room is clean and not overly lit, the prices are amongst the lowest in town, and the knowledge of what they're doing and how to serve it is excellent. These are my favorite onion rings anywhere. The only other two that come close are on Viking Ocean, Cruise ships, and Red $obin (but we know those come in on a truck from somewhere). read more

I was so excited to try this place because my family has come here for years. When I received my burger for take out yesterday (March 10th, 2026) at around 3:30pm, my burger had a piece of plastic from their buns in it. The service was great but this is very dangerous mistake to overlook. If a child or senior bit into this they could have choked! Luckily, I saw it as I was taking a bite. This really grossed me out though, so I couldn't finish the burger. I don't think I would recommend eating here anymore when there are better, less outdated, places to get a burger in Albuquerque. The shake was good though... read more

From the outside it was hard to get vibe of how the food will be. The location is a little hidden from the street, but once inside I was greeted kindly. I enjoyed a double stack bacon green chile cheeseburger. The solo onion ring was fun to eat alongside the perfectly cooked fries. Rex's is a burger joint from the past offering the quality that seems to have gone away. read more

$18.29 + tip = $21.29 for a double cheeseburger with a tiny little side of fries. The photo was after one bite of the burger and no bite of the fries. Tasty but not worth it. I think they may have deliberately overcharged me. read more

I just left a review of Santiago's for their green Chile cheeseburger...and next comes Rex's. If you haven't had Rex's then you NEED to make a trip here. The milkshake machine is hit or miss, but if you're not a burger / milkshake person - you're not missing out. The fries are perfectly crispy and go well with the green Chile cheeseburger. You can taste the history of the burger in each bite. Whatever grill they use is holding all of that flavor haha Be sure to check out Rex's! Twister's is in the same parking...I'm positive you'll make the right decision and chose Rex's lol Rex's and Santiago's are some of my favorite green Chile cheeseburgers in ABQ. I've tried Laguna, Owl, Burger 21, Stackers (way too expensive), Phat Stax, Kosmos, The grill on San Mateo, and Burger Bro's. read more

Rexs is by far the best burger I've had in Abq. Meaty patties, ooof the cheese and the green Chili is just right. People are friendly. The interior is retro haha but who cares. The food is 10/10. My go to spot for a good burger read more

Another amazing visit to Rex's today for lunch! The girl working the register was so sweet, always great customer service here! My burger was delicious, the DIET COKE IS SOOOO CRISPY AND PERFECT.

I tried Rex's again as they are one of the places I really like for burgers. My burger was delicious as usual. Of course I got the green chile cheeseburger, which is my standard around town, and it tasted delicious as always. My onion rings were a little under done this time. I only got three of them and they were chewy instead of crisp and hot. So that was a little disappointing. I've noticed their portioning has gotten quite a bit smaller and while I do understand it, they don't give you as much food as many of the other burger places around town. Rex's is still tasty and still a place from which I will order from time to time. Hopefully next time the onion rings will be a little bit better and they'll be a few more of them. I'm a little worried about them given that I got the wrong order a couple weeks ago and now the chewy onion rings. I hope they can improve a little bit. Otherwise I'm afraid they may be losing some of their longtime customers like me. I'm still gonna give them another shot though because they're local, I've eaten there for decades, and I love them. My order was ready on time and delivered quickly. Delivery instructions were followed. I haven't been in Rex's for quite some time so I can't comment on the ambience, but it was always a nice little burger spot with ample seating and large windows. Please give this local business a chance. Aside from the green chile cheeseburger, the mushroom swiss is also super yummy. read more

We went to Rex's because I was craving some chile cheese fries and this was close to where I was running errands. There were not to many people in the restaurant. We sat down but and the food came out super fast. My husband ordered the green Chile cheese burger platter (comes with fries, 2 onion rings and choice of applesauce or vanilla pudding) he chose the applesauce. I got the the chile cheese fries and a grilled cheese. I was not very hungry, and coming back from the stomach flu. The burger had a nice flavor and for the price was decent. The chile cheese fries were very tasty. We would definetly go back. read more

The food was okay, but not a lot for the portions. Two of the workers were smoking something that smelled like marijuana out front. And the tables were all dirty. The people were quite nice but it just wasn't nice in there. There must've been a problem with the air conditioning because it was quite hot. read more

Went to Rex's with my bestie today and it was a 10/10 like usual! I absolutely LOVE Rex's Hamburgers, I think it's one of the best Green Chile cheeseburgers in Abq!! The burger Patty tastes like good quality beef and the fries are always crunchy with a yummy side of apple sauce as a dessert! The Diet Coke was especially crisp today, I couldn't get enough! Everyone who works at Rex's is so sweet and and are so helpful! Love them! It's such a cute place, I always recommend to friends when they want a good burger! read more

Haven't been here in years so I thought I'd stop in for a burger. Got the popular green chili cheeseburger platter. The burger was great and full of flavor. The chili also had some good kick to it. The fries had a weird taste to them and they forgot my applesauce. Overall though the burger was the highlight as it should be! read more

I noticed an unauthorized charge on my card from Rex's Hamburgers and immediately called to inquire. The person who claimed to be the manager was instantly rude and condescending. Before I could even explain the situation, he began interrupting and yelling that it "wasn't their problem" and to call my bank and hung up on me. I simply asked if they could check their credit card receipts to help identify the charge, but instead of assisting, he continued to talk over me as if I were a child. Completely unprofessional behavior--sadly, it seems this is what customer service standards have come to. I will NEVER order from this place again. Shameful. read more

They are always friendly and the food hits the spot every time. Still has that throwback New Mexico dinner vibe.

Rex's burger is a great place for a local home feel kinda meal! We opted for Rex's rather than the Red Lobster next door! I wasn't terribly hungry so I was glad to see something lighter for me on the menu. The frjto pie caught my eye! The bf went their Garver burger! It's a big one two! Came fully loaded with two patties, cheese, bacon, sautéed onions, green chile and garnish of course. We shared his sides which consisted of some very fresh fries, 1 large (shareable) onion ring and a side of pudding! (Or apple sauce if you so choose!) We were both members of the clean plate club along with full tummy's. read more

My husband and I decided it was date night so why not head to an Ole School hamburger joint. When you walk in it's like you time traveled back to the 80's. The people are super nice and greet you with a smile. The hamburgers are just like I had when growing up in the &0's and you head to a local spot and share fries and a drink with friends. The food is amazing and you will not be disappointed if you come here. If you're looking for a great burger then this is the place. read more

It's been a while since I've been here. Probably at least a couple years. It's still just as solid as I remember. Burgers are big and juicy and loaded with toppings. The staff was all very friendly, they checked on us while we ate and took our plates when we were done with them. They all said thank you when we left. The fries were crispy and salted perfectly and the food came out FAST. My son ended up ordering a second burger because he loved it so much. They made a new fan with him for sure. read more

I honestly thought this was one of the best green chili cheese burger I have had in months!!! It is very casual. They have a large area for eating in. They also have machines to play. Good for kids. Prices were very reasonable for the food. The fries were also outstanding...crispy and well seasoned...truly hard to find most places these days. Plan to try something else next time. They do have meal deals with drinks as well. Service was very good. Interior more like an old time soda and burger place. read more

I love Rex's. The burgers are big and juicy. The fries taste great and the chicken strips are very good too. They are also very fast with your food, especially considering it's made to order. They are also very sweet to my Mom. She is in her 90s and this is one of her favorite places. They always thank us for coming in and the young lady with the long red hair, is super sweet and always very helpful. One of the best burgers in Albuquerque! read more

Had a problem with a previous order there, I was told when it happened, the next time I went in they would make it right. Went in today and spoke with Ben. He was rude, and had attitude. The more I thought about it, this place is overpriced, and extremely filthy. Won't be returning. read more

I ordered a meal by way of DoorDash and did not receive what I had ordered. Additionally, my order was in no way sealed (bag stapled or tied) to indicate it had not been tampered with. When I called and politely provided the information I was hung up on. When I called back to state that I was not expecting any sort of compensation or rectification and that I merely wanted to let them know what had happened as a way to proceed opportunity to improve I was rudely told, then just don't order from us again if you weren't happy. I will not be going back which is unfortunate because they just lost a loyal customer. read more

An amazing old school and I do mean old school hamburger joint. In a strip mall with a small understated sign so hard to spot but lots of parking. Order at the counter and then they bring it out to you. Lots of classic posters and movie posters on the wall. Retro before retro was cool. We both had burgers and fries. They smashed them out and cooked them. I mean they still use meat in balls to make their patties. Awesome. Great place and great burger. Fun stop to take my son and let him experience how we use to get a burger on the road. read more

This place is eVeRyThInG!!! Burger is aMaZiNg!!! Service was fantastic! And 1990's vibe a delightful PLUS ONE!!! The fries, CRISPY. The burger heavy in flavor, food came put quickly. And you can tell many memories were made here in this place 11/10! read more

Rex's Hamburgers - Burger platter! - Two burger platters are presented in red baskets lined with black-and-white checkered paper. Each platter contains a burger with a bun, lettuce, and a beef patty, along with a serving of French fries and onion rings. One basket has a small container of dipping sauce placed nearby. The setting appears to be a casual dining environment, possibly a burger joint with retro decor. - Burgers Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

The food was fantastic. Hot, fresh, authentic New Mexican green chile on the burgers. The onion rings were outstanding. The french fries were hot and fresh with a slight breading to them. Maybe it was the time that we came - about 4:00 p.m. on a Friday but the service was lightning fast. Faster than McDonald's. The owner was very friendly and asked us about our meal. I would definitely recommend going to this friendly establishment especially if you like a great burger. read more

From the outside it does not really stand out, does not tell you come in eat our food. But when you walk in.... Wow. The place has murals inside, a juke box, yes I said juke box. A tv on the wall but it is placed so that it does not bother your experience. I asked the girl what is the best burger she said green chili cheese with bacon. When I get my burger there is no bacon. Did she charge for bacon and they forgot to add it? I did not get a receipt so I could not tell you. The girl knows customer service as she brought out bacon. Bring your kids. There are arcade games, a Bart blow up. It seems like a family friendly place. Now to the food, burger is good, not mind blowing but it is good. When you order the plate, the meal, the full monte you get fries and a O ring. Now not many places you get that. The fries are crunchy, I like that Unlimited refills on your drink. I think they charge less than a buck to add a drink. Good deal. They do grub hub delivery also. Oh yeah and you get a small thing of pudding with that meal thing. I enjoyed this place I'll be back read more

Rex's is an Albuquerque classic staple! It's got that old diner feel with fun local memorabilia covering the walls. The burgers are tasty (green chile is hot here!), and the fries are always crispy. I like the random side option of either pudding or apple sauce, and for all those items, Rex's keeps prices reasonable. We've had great, efficient service every time we've gone! read more

Delicious burgers ready in less than 5 minutes. Fresh, delicious NM green chile. Love the crispy fries and the onion rings too.

The double cheeseburger with french fries and a delicious onion ring was out of this world. I have come Rex's since 1976, when my husband Steve brought me to the state fair when we first started dating. Rex has a hamburger stand every year at the state fair since 1971. Today we wanted something to eat while we were up here in the Heights waiting for my daughter-in-law to have her baby. I told Steve Rex Burgers right around the corner. Let's go try it and what do you know Rex the owner was there and he hooked us up with the best Burger in town. This burger has not changed but gotten better! Damn, that was a good Burger. I suggest everybody comes here and try their delicious burgers, fries and onion rings. Rex IS THE BURGER MASTER! read more

Came in for a quick lunch. Went with the green chili cheeseburger. It was good. The staff was very friendly. Only took about 5 minutes to get the burger but all the veggies and everything was very Fresh. green chili was great as well. just the burger with a water was 8 dollars. In my opinion it was worth it. Will be back soon. The atmosphere is very comfortable and feels nice to sit down. Plenty of room. read more

Rex's is a fun little neighborhood burger joint. They can be a little hard to find as their signage is sort of swallowed up in the strip mall, but once you do get there, you'll be happy. Rex's serves burgers and some basic Mexican food (tacos and burritos). I enjoy their four pack of tacos, but they are traditional hard shell, beef, cheese, and garnish. The burgers are really why you go to Rex's. You can buy the burger by itself or as a combo. The combo includes fries, applesauce or vanilla pudding, and an onion ring. (The onion rings are great, by the way.) The burgers are fresh, juicy, and very tasty. I really like the green chili cheeseburger. They have a monster burger that sounds delicious, but I do t think I could eat it all. I highly recommend Rex's! read more

My husband & I have eaten there many many times. We have tried green chile cheeseburgers at other places (you know...the more expensive places) & we both think Rex's are the best! I especially like the Frito pie because the chile that they put on it is amazing. The onion rings are great too. The atmosphere is relaxing & laid back & the service is great. I highly recommend! read more

Friendly service, really good old school hamburger with the right fixings. The platter comes with fries and one big, fresh made onion ring and a side of apple sauce for an awesome old school feel.

I tried to try Rex's for the first time this evening. When we pulled up it looked closed because the parking lot was basically empty. Outside the restaurant were two tables on the sidewalk with cheap plastic deck chairs for seating. When we walked in, we weren't sure if we sat ourselves or waited to be sat. The cook looked at us and flicked his head toward an empty ordering counter farther inside the restaurant. No greeting, smile, or other acknowledgment of any kind. There were only two other patrons in the entire restaurant sharing a booth. A server was cleaning a table, then headed behind the ordering counter. Again, no greeting, smile, or acknowledgement of any kind. The phone rang and she answered it. We didn't get a "I'll be right with you; I've gotta take this call." After standing there for a bit, we decided we'd spend our money elsewhere. Why eat at a grease burger joint when you can't even get the employees to acknowledge you? Given there was a 1:1 ratio of employees to patrons (besides us), staffing wasn't an issue. They just don't seem to give a darn whether you're there or not, so we chose to leave. There are plenty of other burger dives that will take my money. It made sense why the parking lot and restaurant were empty. read more

Today went to Rex for lunch and short Mexican lady at the register took my order and after she said next time you here clean up after yourself. I asked her what she meant and she give me a attitude. So I was so angry I didn't eat my food I got up demanded to speak to the owner and she said one morning I was there I use the bathroom and there was piss on the toilet after and she should not have to clean it up. The thing is I didn't use the bathroom there I washed my hands. Very poor experience I will never go back! read more
