$100 Green Chili Cheeseburger In Southern NM

[S. Ramirez]

Dear Newsgroup,
Where can I experience a great green chili cheeeseburger in the Las
Cruces area? I am actually going to Santa Teresa, NM, but I am willing to
fly north a bit and east a lot (Ruidoso/Roswell area) to experience this
dynamite New Mexican treat.
Does anyone have any restaurant recommendations in this area? I've
heard that McDonald's has them, but I am looking for that mom and pop place.
Thanks.

The Lota Burgers in Albuquerque used to have decent green chili burgers.
I know they were pretty well spread across northern NM, but might be in
the south as well.

This won't tell you what's good, but might help find paces to try.

The Crosswinds restaurant (on the field in Las Cruces) has great
burgers. I can't tell you for sure whether they have a green chile
version, but I can't imagine a restaurant in Las Cruces not having them.
I think there's some sort of law about it.

I used to fly several hundred pounds of green chiles from Las Cruces
to Phoenix every September at harvest time. It was in high demand by
the many transplanted Las Crucens (like me). Every fall you fill up the
freezers with chiles and hope they last until the next harvest.

If you stop in at LRU, I recommend Southwest Aviation. They're not
the closest to the restaurant, but it's a good FBO.

Try the Outpost Bar and Grill in Carrizozo.

This sounds like a good place to try, Spencer.
I noticed that Santa Teresa airport in New Mexico is very close to
Hatch, where they grow some fiery green chilis! Does anyone know of a good
place to eat a green chili cheeseburger in Hatch?
I will be operating out of Santa Teresa most of the time after I get
there.

--It is amazing that gringos eat tons of chilis. Just goes to show you that
chili chompers come in all sorts of packages!
