Top 4 Green Chile Cheeseburgers in Albuquerque

Top Tier EditorialSourcesAn Inspired CookNew Mexico Nomad

  1. 1

    Frontier

    UNM / Nob Hill

    Since 1971 across from UNM, open early morning to midnight. The green chile cheeseburger here is the single most cited item in ABQ food writing.

  2. 2

    Owl Cafe

    Northeast Heights

    '50s diner vibe — checkerboard floors, jukebox booths. The $6 OwlBurger (juicy cheeseburger topped with green chile) rides every best-of list, and complimentary pinto beans with green chile hit the table before ordering.

  3. 3

    Blake's Lotaburger

    Multiple locations

    NM chain partnering with Hatch growers for real green chile on a fast-food burger. 'The chile has heat and flavor' — the home-team smash burger every ABQ native grew up on.

  4. 4

    Duran Central Pharmacy

    Downtown

    A working pharmacy with a New Mexican diner attached. The green chile cheeseburger arrives on a soft sesame bun with chopped chile and chips — the most old-Albuquerque version of the dish still going.
