You won't be disappointed here! Such great quality food!!!! Team is so respectful and quick to fix a mistake!!! Especially the manager Kayla! She's always so nice! My family and I go here EVERY Wednesday after my sons game! We love this one so much that we've made it a family night! Highly recommend! read more

Poor service, slow, kids always messing around and unprofessional. Tried to order breakfast burrito at 10:35am. They said they stopped service breakfast at 11am. ???? They said we have too many burrito orders to order any more. read more

I guess I haven't been to Blake's in awhile to know that they changed up theirs burgers. They now serve these huge fluffy buns that are not toasted to create an illusion of a big burger when in reality their patties are thinner than McDonald's. I had an itsaburger with cheese & green chile & they forgot the chile. Definitely not the same & you eat more bread than anything. read more

Blake's Lotaburger - Super thin patty - Burgers Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Ordered 45 minutes ahead and went to pick up. The drive-up window had 10 cars. I got to the front of the line and although they were closed, they ignored me and would not communicate. I went to the door and the same. Stay away from this burger joint as they take your money, ignore the order and RUDE service. Plus, the food has declined in quality. read more

Try to split these Lotaburgers because they are too much for most people. Also, it takes some getting used to the peppers. See if you like that before getting a burger to yourself. Very busy place. read more

This is NOT "fast food." The really good thing that you will encounter at this location is that the food isn't cooked until you order it, I THINK. That's the only reason I can think of that the wait times are so very long in the drive-through. This morning, I waited for 20 minutes in line, very patiently (because I really like their current special chorizo burrito) only to be told that they had JUST stopped serving "breakfast" at 11:00 a.m. I pulled out of line and went to Taco Bell, about 2 miles away, where the food is not as tasty, but at least I could get a burrito and pretend it was a breakfast burrito. I have eaten lunch at this restaurant on several occasions. The onion rings are fairly reliable, hot and crispy, except for one batch in which the onions were not fresh. They were mushy and tasted old. Almost inedible. The french fries are forgettable, but, as with all food, that is a personal matter of taste. The cheeseburgers are really marvelous. Very fresh. And if you like things a little on the spicy side, you can have green chile on your cheeseburger. So good. The hot dogs are meaty and I don't think you can get better anywhere. I BELIEVE they are Nathan's all-beef hot dogs, a very high quality brand. I have had one chicken sandwich from this place, and it was awful. Full of gristle and lacking taste. If this restaurant served burritos all day, and if it had a more varied menu, it would get a much higher rating from me. I don't always want a cheeseburger or a hot dog. The chicken sandwich is yucky. However, if you are a cheeseburger aficionado and you don't' mind eating them for breakfast at 11:00 in the morning on a Sunday, you will not be disappointed. If I was grading this restaurant completely on their cheeseburgers, it would be a solid 4, but, as I said, I really need a wider selection. The only way I will return to this restaurant is if I am in the market for a breakfast burrito and I can get in line by 10:00 in the morning. read more

I come to this location quite often because I love spending my time in Old Town. Usually it's pretty good, and I'm not sure it's because of the staffing or the Balloon Fiesta, but this go around the entire lobby was filthy! Not a single table was clean and when I asked someone to wipe down my table so I can sit and enjoy my meal they gave me a weird look and gave me a soda cup with ice, which I then had to get napkins and get water from the soda fountain in order to wipe down the table myself. They also got my order wrong, I actually said I want a lota combo with double patties which should include fries and a drink, being that you say combo. Instead they gave me a single Patty Burger by itself - that seemed like it was sitting under the heat lamp for a while. I told them I wanted the meal which included the fries and the drink so they gave me another cup of ice to fill up myself, said the lids are over there very rudely, and gave me fries that were very dark brown and hard. I'm hoping this is a one-off bad experience I really do. I would like to return again - just hopefully this location will be in better shape next time. read more

I order ahead but the lobby is closed so I am stuck waiting for 30 minutes to get my food that is already done. Blake's, seriously, you are missing out on so much business. I am watching people come up and leave because they have come to expect terrible service from Blake's. read more

If you don't stop and get at least 1 Green Chile Cheeseburger at Blakes while visiting New Mexico you pretty much SUCK AT LIFE! - YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM!!! read more

Blake's Lotaburger - Green Chile Lotaburger with Double Meat! - Burgers Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Nora is the manager of this location on Rio grande. If you ever have a problem she will take care of you. Hopefully you never do. I love their breakfast burritos. I wish they had tortilla burgers as an option I would buy them. I cannot eat bread but I can have tortillas. I ordered the number 5 burrito which has scrambled eggs pinto beans of sausage or bacon read more

Great burger terrible service. I ordered burgers,fries, and shakes. Thr cashier spaced out that I ordered shakes and didn't remember th e flavor. I stood amazed a th e manager asked me if I had a problem. Rudest worker ever. She ran her mouth and I just shakes my head and left. Incompetent workers and extremely rude manager. The Lomas locationis is near the car lots and closet my house. I've been buying burgers for over 60 years at this franchise and the help is horrible. No more lotabugers for me. I live 2 blocks from this place and I might go once a year. Now I doubt I'll ever go again. I've never seen such poor service anywhere! read more

Apparently you can't update a review that's a year old. I outlined service issues on that post. I received a nice response from management suggesting I follow up with them directly which I did. Twice. They never responded. I went back last night. Mistake. I waited about ten minutes just to order despite there being just one car ahead of me (and one more in line beyond the ordering point). Most places take your order as soon as you get to the kiosk. Not here. When I did get to the window, it started to make sense. I could see three workers though I think there was at least one more in the front of the store beyond my view. The order taker / window person was playing with her phone and chatting with a second worker who was holding what looked like a broom or mop handle but not doing anything. There was one woman doing all the cooking. The two near me went back and forth between having their masks below their chin and having them below their nose. The order taker took my credit card and disappeared around the corner for a short while. Maybe the CC machine at the window wasn't working but it seemed odd. It's too bad. I enjoy a Lotaburger and this location is so convenient. I guess I'll have to find another one when the craving hits. read more

Used to be my go-to Blake's location. But the last couple months service has been absolutely horrible. There is a worker here who mumbles constantly and said my total wrong. Then asked for an extra dollar, didn't give my my change, and told me to "look at the receipt". Do not go to this location. read more

Friend of mine recommended this place as a staple of Albuquerque and she was RIGHT! Day 1 I had the "Lota" burger with green chilis and a chili cheese dog. The prices are ridiculously good!! Be advised, this is a greasy burger place but SOOO much better than than just about anything else I've come across like it. (Looking at you In & out burger, which I also love). The green chilis and seasoned fries really make the difference. Day 2 & 3 LETS TALK BREAKFAST!! I got the sausage burrito (Christmas style) and added some fries not understanding just how large these things are. THEY ARE HUGE!! And under $4!!! Just do yourself a favor, put your phone done and get to the closest Lotaburger location ASAP!! read more

$30 for an adult and two kids to eat and the food was meh! Add on charges for cheese, green chili, seasoned fries, etc.,. Won't be visiting Blake's again. Alot of other local places around that don't nickle and dime you. read more

Good breakfast burritos, very filling and love the hashbrowns not cubed potatoes some other burrito places have. It's crazy in the morning, so if they answer the phone, 2 tios: 1. Call early (dont wait and order when you leave, unless you have a 20 minute drive or more) 2.if they ask can they put you on hold, say NO! I said ok..drove 8 minutes to the location, stood behind 5 people, and was still on hold when I got to the counter (they just put the phone down on the counter and forgot). Tell them you were already hung up on and you don't want to wait again! The manager was apologetic, and gave me a coffee..but I waited forever to get my food. read more

I'd recommend an improvement in management, but there's no discernible management. Slowwww, tried to give the wrong order, lousy attitude(I hate my job), they're obviously doing me a big favor of taking my money. No more!!! read more

i've come to expect long waits and bad service from blake's but this was exceptionally terrible. i ordered an hour ahead online but still had to wait 20 minutes for my food when i got there. Once my food finally came out it was wrong and cold while the girl serving me was rude. read more

Blake's Blake's Blake's. I LOVE your breakfast burritos. Green chili burrito with sausage AND bacon.... oh yeah. Double meat. This burrito is the go to whenever I need a quick but delicious breakfast... Now that my love for these burritos is proclaimed I can confidently say the burritos are responsible for all 3 stars. Everything else including this locations customer service and cleanliness isn't even worth half a star. read more

If you want customer service this is not the location. We were trying to order food and the lady taking our order was completely rude. She would sigh and ask what else sarcastically. She should find a different job if she doesn't want to be in the food service industry, providing customer service, a skill that she is clearly lacking. I would recommend the location on coors that way you won't have to experience rude service. read more

I like to imagine I'm a prehistoric buffalo type critter grazing peacefully on the fringes of the Bosque. When suddenly I see a vision of my ancestors (who have obviously devolved) ground up and burned on a hot surface topped with a green vegetable and some slice my brain can't comprehend, more vegetables and some spongey split round encompassing the whole vision. This is my vision. And it is Lota-delicious. read more

Blake's is not the same since they installed the toaster machine. Their burgers are gooey. I liked the way they were cooked before on the grill. The originals are far better. The buns now are soggy. They are no longer the best. Sad.... read more

I am a born and raised New Mexican and have grown up on Blake's. I have always loved the Green Chili Cheeseburger and still do. I also have loved the breakfast burritos as well, But I have seen a decline in the flavor and quality of the food. I understand that we must change with the times and how things are done. I am just used to the made to order of you product when you put the eggs, sausage and hash browns down at the same time and the burrito was always perfect. now with your premade everything the quality has gone down. I just ordered a #2 red and the hash browns were cold and burnt because they were sitting in a pan, hardly and sausage and all the cheese was on one side. Very disappointed in my breakfast today, and to be honest I have seen a decline over the years. It seems you are going for more sales than the quality. Stick to what you started not to how much money you can make read more

We went through the drive thru on our way through town. Sounded like the burgers were worth the wait. After 20 minutes in the drive through, only 3 cars in front of us, we finally try to order. She can't hear us and asks us to pull up to the window to order. We ordered face to face. When we got our food, it wasn't what we ordered. At this point it had been 30 minutes. I'm sure the food is fine but the service needs lots of work. The food we mediocre but that could be us irritated with the situation. The girl working the window also had 2 inch long fake nails. Totally unhygienic for working with food. We should have went to Burger King. read more

This location was a first time for me. The staff was on top of getting the orders out to the customers. I had not gotten my food as quick as I did today at this store. One of the nice things about this chain is that they cook as they are ordered. The bacon was fresh and cooked right and that sandwich was made like I ordered. If I am in the area again I would stop at this location for a bite to eat. read more

Last time I ate there. Don't waste your money. I ordered ahead, but when I got there, all doors were locked. Another person also walked up to get his order, and the two of us peaked in the windows. There was staff inside who seemed totally surprised to see us. Eventually we were told to walk to the drive- through window where we could see more than six "workers" in the back. No clue what they were doing. I got my order, took it home and found that the "patty" was no patty at all. IT WAS LITERALLY A SLICE OF BURGER WITH HOLES IN IT!! I am not exaggerating. It was about 2 millimeters thick. You could see through the darn thing. I've never seen anything like it in my life. The fries I got were barely cooked. Not quite raw, but close to it. Do yourself a favor and eat ANYWHERE but here. read more

This location has gone down hill. I have worked in this neighborhood for years and I stop here for breakfast about 2-3 times per month. Lately, the wait in the drive through has doubled or tippled. I don't necessarily mind the wait if the food is good. I know Lottaburger is always cooked to order and the wait is always longer than the typical fast food spot. But the last two or three times I've stopped for a breakfast burrito, its cold and soggy because the potatoes are still raw. It seems as though they are rushing through the cooking process but the wait is still 2-3 times as long as it was a few months ago. I'm not sure what is going on but I will not be eating at this location anymore. read more

Tried to call in a phone order and they left me on hold for over 10 minutes. Customer service at this location especially subpar. Honestly, Blake's, your only redeeming quality is your decent breakfast burritos.... read more

If you don't like this place there is something wrong with you. It's not Blake's-it's you. Best breakfast burritos in town. They're not the fastest fast food, but it's worth the wait. One of NM's best kept secrets in my opinion. read more

Oh glorious green chili cheeseburger. When I wake up in a pool of drool on my pillow, I know I have been dreaming about you because there is nothing else like you in the world... read more

I'm visiting ABQ and lotaburger was a recommendation by many. I gave it a try and ordered the lotaburger with cheese and green Chile with seasoned fries. It was really good! I'm glad I got to try something the locals rave about, I was really curious about it. read more

does this place have only one cook???? drive through takes 30 minutes to get 2 people their food. Either hire more people or don't even have this place open. once i finally got to the drive through window i was asked my order again and had to wait for it to be made. It wasn't even that busy... read more

As we were passing through, we stumbled across this place and it's delicious! The burgers are on point and the price is great too! We were very impressed with the quality and nothing but praise. We wished we would have stopped by during our last trip....we now have a stop we must go to during our trips to Old Town. read more

Lotaburger was naturally part of our breakfast burrito tour of New Mexico. I've had Lotaburger breakfast burritos before, but this was our first time going during this trip. As other Yelpers have mentioned, the drive thru isn't very fast. We waited for our food for awhile even though there was no one in line before us. The breakfast burritos here are huge and packed with green chile, bacon, cheese, potatoes and eggs! Definitely a great value for the money. I enjoyed the flavors, but the eggs were not scrambled, which I didn't like. I don't really like fried eggs in a breakfast burrito, so I probably will not get breakfast burritos from here again during this trip. read more

I arrived to the store at 9:30pm on Saturday and the doors were locked when they are supposed to be closed 10pm. Very disappointed in the service. read more

This is one of the best locations in town. We drive-up at least once a week. It is always hot and fresh. The burgers are so tasty and the fries are fresh and crispy. Also the chicken strips are the best in town! We've tried them at MANY restaurants and these are hot and crispy and not a bit greasy! Great prices too. You can never go wrong with a Lota with cheese! We've been eating them for 40 years. Here's to the next 40! read more

Typically I veer away from any kind of fast food...I hate McDonalds, Burger King, Carl's Junior and anything thing else that qualifies as greasy gut bomb food. Surprisingly enough, I actually liked Blake's Lotaburger. I did have to get past the typical grease-heat filled air as I past through the doors. I hate the smell of grease-fryer filled air and wish more restaurants would invest in cleaning them more often and also having proper venting systems to alleviate such nasty smells and funk that cling to your hair and clothing after entering such establishments. I ordered a barbeque beef sandwich and strawberry shake. It was delicious. I have to say...I am a fan. I also like the fact that as a fast food restaurant in the Southwest, Lotaburger actually embraces that which is traditionally Southwest...the green chile! I LOVE that they have this as an item to have slopped on your burger or anything else you may want it on. Very Cool...they even do a twist on breakfast & bring in that Southwest element with that as well. Good to see a business stick to the local appeal but still compete with the mainstream places. read more

The food was ok, but the service wasn't. We waited for 30 minutes in he drive thru to get food and they messed up our order. Also forgot a few things. I am understanding though considering they were understaffed, but this still isn't very acceptable. read more

All the years I've been traveling through, around, and over New Mexico, I've never stopped in a Blake's till now. I like hamburgers, in fact its one of my favorite meals. I make it a point to hit Whataburgers, Lot O Burgers, and little mom and pop burger stands when I can. The fries were ok and the burger was fine, Blake's is no my radar for a burger when the mood strikes me. read more

Ordered four meals and took over 30 minutes. Food was cold and hamburgers were not cooked. Will never go back to this place again
