"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!"

"Juicy, moist, seasoned well gives the burger that extra kick and smoky herbiness. The juices drip down your sleeve with every bite and it is wonderful. The Owl Burger is one of the top best ever ultimate GCCBs we've had."

"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."

"After the first bite, I knew that I had arrived at a burger milestone in my life. This was a culinary melange of truly flavorful beef, perfectly balanced with cheese, and that heavenly green chile that took me to burger heights I never knew existed. Yes, it was that good. I ordered a second burger which only confirmed what I found with the first."

Michael Mello

"The Owl, in San Antonio, N.M., about 75 minutes south of Albuquerque, serves one of the best green chile cheeseburgers I’ve ever eaten. During my visit, I watched the kitchen crew grinding the beef, a freshness you can taste when chowing down. The burger pairs nicely with the chile cheese fries, French fries swimming in a thick green chile and cheese mixture."

Andrea Gómez Romero

"This is San Antonio’s green-chile burger landmark—proof that the dinky town south of Socorro is burger capital of the known universe. What’s better, Owl or Buckhorn? Your choice—so, yeah, you have to try ’em both."
