Me, I had the Dandy combo and I enjoyed the spicy chili on top of the burger. It was a delightful change from the typical burger that does not have this type of seasoning. A solid recommendation for weary travelers.

Inside is very generic but I do like the outside seating area. I remember when I was young there was a place that would announce your number over an intercom. Now that made my day. 80s music is playing and I just sat there listening to it. I must say the chilli is good, excellent taste. This is what is used in the frito pie. Good. I'll come back just for the chili on a hot dog. For the frito pie they give a small bag of Fritos. Not enough and I'm sure not there fault. I am sure the quantity has shrunk with inflation.

I came here with a co-worker and we were pretty hungry. We ordered at the window and ate at the nearby picnic table. I ordered the Sugar Daddy with Z'aatar seasoned fries. This double six ounce patty burger came with a sesame bun, mayo blend, lettuce, tomato slices, fried onions, fried garlic mushrooms, cheese, green chile and bacon. The double is a massive burger and I could barely fit this monster in my mouth. They don't skimp on anything and the bacon was crispy. Fries were good, I would have preferred onion rings but he said the machine would be working again in a couple of weeks. Great atmosphere, fast service, great food and very filling.

We have passed by it many times, but decided to try it. We got the Sugar's burger. It had bacon, mushrooms, green chile, carmelized onions and cheese. It came with hand cut fries. It was messy but so delicious. We sat outside on picnic tables in the shade. It was a super homey place with chickens outside. We definetly be back to eat some of the other food.

Wow, what a fantastic burger!…read more We stopped by on a beautiful, warm afternoon. The beer was cold, and the margaritas were refreshing and delicious, you could really tell they use fresh juices. When our burgers arrived, we were amazed by how great they looked... Just like the pictures on the menu. Even better, they tasted incredible. You could taste the freshness in the meat, the toppings, and even the bread. Put it all together, and it made for a truly outstanding dining experience. The homemade fries were a hit as well. They warmly welcomed our dog on their outdoor patio, which is very dog-friendly, and the service Kevin provided was outstanding. Do yourself a favor and give their burgers a try! They also offer plenty of other menu options if you're looking for a great meal but aren't in the mood for a burger. We wish this place all the success it deserves!

Upon peeling the batter off, we found the fish to be grey and had a funky taste. The tartar sauce was also super runny and tasted sour like pickled juice. The burger came sitting in a pool of grease as well but my boyfriend was able to eat it. I try to not write negative reviews because every business has an off day, but $60 for food that we couldn't eat, and also being given wrong items feels very bitter.

The place was not busy inside. Several workers, gal at the window was nice but one of the cooks yelled at me when I as the passenger looked over at her. We said nothing, we did nothing to provoke anyone. We had paid as soon as we drove up and nobody came close enough to the window for us to get our money back and just leave. To add insult to injury, both sandwiches were wrong, no green chile on the sandwich (as stated on the menu) and the burrito was bacon. Ridiculous excuse for a fast food place and rude lady yelling at me. Never again, and I do strive to support local, but not here. I tried to find contact info to discuss this with the owner/manager, but there is no contact info on the website or posted at the establishment, so sorry, not sorry straight to Yelp.

Blake's Lotaburger is New Mexico's claim to fame in the burger world…read more Their "New Mexico style burger meal" ($14.29) is their most unique offering. It's simply a double-patty green chile burger with other fixings removed per request. Mine was nice and juicy minus the mustard they usually put on it with the addition of mayonnaise. Their seasoned fries were just okay to me. That was the first time I'd ever tried them - and one of course right out of the bag. I was surpised at how cold it already had gotten even after going up immediately to grab my order when my name was announced. For some reason I graviated towards the locally-pressed and bottled orange juice. It was darn refreshing. Service was very friendly and respectful. Their restroom was mostly clean with piping hot water at the sink. Their drive-thru was packed when I pulled in so I opted to park and walk in. I'm glad I did. This will most likely be at the top of my fast food list when I'm traveling through Espanola, NM.
