Recommendations

"The green chile cheeseburgers were totally incredible."
"Despite the more extensive menu offerings at the Eubank based Owl Cafe, the green chile cheeseburger is still the biggest attraction–and for good reason. The meat is ground on the premises, patties are hand-formed and the ingredients are absolutely fresh. On a double meat burger, the succulent meat and melted cheese bulge out beyond the buns. The meat positively breaks apart (a telltale sign that filler isn’t used) and its juices make consuming one a lip-smacking, multi-napkin affair."
"Green chili cheeseburgers are a whole thing in New Mexico, they're on menus across the state, but not everyone gets a spot on the state's official trail map. The Owl Cafe in Albuquerque does, with good reason. The burger I ordered arrived slightly disheveled, in a good way, with a scoop of sauteed chilies astride a glistening patty enrobed in gooey American cheese."
"We got a double meat double chili and we were so blown away that we ordered a second burger after demolishing the first. The patties were thin in the classic smash and scrape style, the bun was toasty, the veggies fresh, the American cheese melty, and the chile was just the right amount of smoke and spice."
"Best Green Chile Cheeseburger in New Mexico: Owl Cafe - You can't talk about green chile cheeseburgers without mention of the Owl Cafe. This now-famous Owl Burger hasn't changed much since 1948: a fresh, hand-formed beef patty, grilled and topped with green chile, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and mayo. A classic!"
"This hearty green chile cheeseburger is made of a hand-packed patty, perfectly roasted green chile, American cheese, and a mix of fixings."
"I was able to order the restaurant’s signature dish – a cheeseburger with green chiles. It’s a mouthwatering triumph that combines a thin beef patty topped with melted cheese and a pile of green chiles, which make it deliciously sweet."
"A 50s style dinner, Owl Café’s claim to fame is the OwlBurger, a juicy cheeseburger topped with green chili, that is beloved by locals and visitors. You can’t go wrong when you grab a meal here. Just save room for dessert – after all that spice, a chocolate peanut butter milkshake is the perfect ending."
"We ordered their signature burger and it was a juicy, thick patty of fresh ground beef grilled over an open flame, blanketed in molten cheddar cheese, and topped off with a generous portion of diced roasted New Mexican green chiles - what could be more glorious?"
