Dangit, I made myself hungry.
I’m going to go out to get a lottaburger.
IF anyone on the NM ping-list is unfamiliar w/ Lottaburger you’re missing out.
(Ping list pinged because it’s an NM chain.)
Can you send me a green chile Lottaburger to Phoenix?
I was goint to ask if Blakes Lottaburger was still in business.
There used to be a great place in Farmington,NM years go. George & Johns Burgers. They were always packed till McDonalds came to town and they lost to Mcdonald’s third rate burgers.
Bob's Burgers on Central close to Downtown Albq. ruled!!
Sadly I think he retired.
But Blake's is also excellent.
You could always go to Village Pizza in Corrales and get a pepperoni pizza with green chile, or better yet, a Dust Devil.
We miss that place.
A very funny story I heard YEARS ago was about a time when a tourist entered a Lotaburger in the little town of Pojoaque (po-wok-ee), New Mexico.
The tourist, unfamiliar with some of the uniquely pronounced towns in our state asked the clerk at the register, “How do you pronounce this place anyway?”
She answered, “LOT-AH-BUR-GER”
Hey Shark, have you tried Lumpy’s in Albuquerque? Not the best side of town on Central just west of Old Coors in the OLD Lotaburger Drive-In building. Excellent green chile cheeseburgers and a novel concept. You walk up to the counter outside, grab a bag and they have the menu on the bag. You check the size buger you want (wimpy, lumpy or plumpy), you check your toppings and then you check how you want your fries cut (skinny, thick or screwy). They have baskets where you choose your potato for your fries (russet or sweet potato) and you put the potato in the bag and take it to the window, one bag per person. They cook your burger to order and cut your fries the way you ordered with the potato you chose (so choose a big one). DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, don’t forget Bob’s Burgers Ranchero Burger, but only from the 2 original locations on Central or Isleta. To die for!
Yeah, Lottaburger is pretty decent.
They have had a sign up for about three years now in a vacant lot here in High South Podunk saying “opening soon: Blakes Lottaburger” I got excited when I saw it, and excited when I saw a pile of cement blocks there a few months ago.... But the blocks soon disappeared, and my hopes once again were dashed.
The ‘junk food’ place I really miss though, is “Top Dog” that was on Menaul somewhere around San Mateo in Albq. Their cheese fries made my mouth and tummy very very happy.
Thanks for the ping, I meant to include you in my comment, see 175.
Blake’s Lotaburger has good fries. I got a hamburger at one once, though, and the meat was not fresh, it was really bad. I cringe to think of it.
I had totally forgotten about them, but I do recall lottaburger. Yum.
