I give the food from Blake's 5 stars. I don't agree with other reviews who say it's dirty or not kept up. It's always been clean when I've gone in there. The reason for the 3 stars is because of some of the employees. They are in such need of customer service training. I think we can mostly tell when bad service is lack or training or if it's from a bad attitude and just not caring. I run in to not caring more often then training needed. I always brag on local businesses but I'm always honest with the reviews I leave and can't sugar coat the bad service I got during my last visit. I placed my order through the app. When I went in to pick it up I was greeted which is great but then I said I was there to pick up an online order. The guy behind the counter literally threw the bag on the counter from somewhere underneath and walked off. I assumed it was my order since I was the only one standing there. I had to get his attention because I needed salt. He came back and put a big handful of salt packets on the counter and walked away again. I'm needed ketchup too but didn't even bother asking due to the attitude I'd already gotten. I'm not going to let bad counter service keep me from enjoying the good food they have. Just be aware. Love this place other than that. read more

Less then zero stars. Thursday, 815pm. Completely empty, we walk in and the employee gave us the dirtiest of looks. Turned around and walked away. read more

We all know that when driving through Tucumcari there are few food options but I would highly advise AGAINST this dumpster fire. Between the filthy restaurant, not a clean table to be found, flies, couldn't get our order right, rude unprofessional staff blasting gangsta rap behind the counter, there leaves much to be desired. Sometimes veering off the beaten path is a bad idea, especially in Tucumcari. read more

Solid burgers, chicken sandwiches & fish sandwiches fed my family on a hot day passing through town. Good choice!

Better than expected food. Heading beck to TX after a week in NM where we saw a ton of these. The reviews were kind of sketchy but I had to try. I'm a sucker for divey burger chains. The hot dog in the chili dog had a nice spicy bite to it and the chili was serviceable. The burger was pretty good, although the bun was a bit pillowy and somewhat stale. The fries were run of the mill. The issue was that it took forever to order and get our food. The line just didn't go anywhere. Definitely a bit frustrating when trying to get back on the road. read more

Omg! Their Lotta Burger NM style is to die for. It is actually spicy, very flavorful, and the meat tastes like a good mom and pop burger joint should taste like.. real meat. Ended up in this little hole in the wall place by chance on the drive home. It looked sketchy, and it was a bit empty, but we didn't want rubber stamped McDs or another fast food place. I know it looks sus, just try it, it won't disappoint. read more

Always stop for lunch or dinner if we're in the area! Our favorite is the green chile Blake's lots burger!

This place is awesome! Definitely a must have if you're ever passing through Tucumcari!! Isaha and Justine are the best! Super polite and even gave me and my wife some helpful tips on sight seeing attractions in the area. Will definitely be back! read more

Always order extra green on my burrito n never get it, I always have to order extra green on the side, made the mistake today of thinking they would add the extra green, I can't imagine how much Chile regular burritos get if this is extra, honestly don't know y I bother with Blake's anymore all r junk, spend extra money n get nothing yay read more

Service was terrible. It took 25 minutes to get a cheeseburger and then when I tried to get ranch they wanted to charge extra but didn't mention that while I was ordering and paying. Ridiculous. read more

Always enjoy stopping in anytime we are through town! Mary does an outstanding job taking care of us each time!!

Not very good . Extremely overpriced. Small elementary sized basic burgers priced and described as gourmet burgers. Trash shakes and slow borderline incompetent service mediocre at best the tea is the only thing decent read more

cheese burgers are yummy but the bacon and egg burrito with green chili is the best. yum.

Just can't beat a green Chile cheeseburger at Blakes! Just the right amount of heat with a tasty patty and a fresh bun. The fries are always hot and fresh. A New Mexico tradition that you don't want to miss. read more

After a 10 hour drive this place hit the spot! The food was great, the service was great, the kids loved it! And the seasoned fries were amazing!! read more

I had for the first time burger and fries and I was on fire the service was amazing thank you guy stop again

This is the best place for a breakfast burrito or a NM burger. The place is clean and well kept. The manager is super friendly and has straightened the place up since she took over. I highly recommend this place! read more

Slow service, was very busy, driest burger ever, lot of flies on window ledge, floor and buzzing the customers. The white decor is blinding. First time and last time at a lotaburger. read more

We are originally from New Mexico, and have eaten Lotaburger for decades. The Tucumcari Lotaburger was the best I've ever eaten. The service was fast and good and the restaurant was nice and clean. We will look forward to eating here again. read more

Very spacious parking lot, and very open inside the restaurant. Great service from a young lady that was training a young man. Our food was served hot and fresh and lots of onion rings ! That's a plus. I was able to bring my dog in out of the heat since the place was so open and we sat in the far corner by the door. Great food. YUM! Great customer service. The bathroom was decent, very large and clean. This is an old restaurant, and I was glad to see that it wasn't demoed down for something new. read more

Stopped by after being on the lake headed back to Albuquerque. A little slow to get the orders going but my green Chile Lotaburger and peach shake were amazing. Clean restaurant and bathroom. Nice staff. read more

On a cross country drive we discovered this and were soo happy we stopped. By far the best fish sandwich with green chili tarter sauce and great fries !! We probably won't do another trip, so won't have another chance to go, but will recommend to all driving thru. A definite positive in the world of food on the road !! read more

The food was decent but we found hair in our food. Service was bad, workers were rude. Dirtiest restaurant I've ever been to. Flies everywhere. We didn't get our water that we paid for and we asked for it and they gave it to us in a rude manner. read more

I was on a road trip and found this place online while looking for a place to get some food. Their online ordering system was down, so I called in my order. They have one of the best automated ordering systems I've ever used. I never spoke to an actual person on the phone, but they got an order for 4 people with several customizations exactly right. They didn't have a drive thru, so I walked inside to pick up our order and was a little disappointed with the looks of it. It was a bit rundown and dirty with a few flies buzzing around, but the staff was very friendly and the food was great. Nothing fancy, just good old-fashioned burgers, fries, and onion rings. It was kind of nostalgic since food like that is becoming harder to find. read more

Worst service ever! We stopped here on our way from TX to NM. At first the cashier tried to charge us $5 more than what we ordered. Supervisor came and said she punched the orders incorrectly. She then still charge us $4 more the second time. Supervisor came again super rude and unapologetic about and kept blaming it on the computer without acknowledging it was all human error. Not one did they apologize! The food was horrible. Fried chicken tenders were hard as a rock. French fries tasted like it was from a frozen bag. We could have done better eating at the McDonald's across the street. read more

I should have believed the 2.5 star review on this place. We were driving through from Texas to NM and wanted to try something different and boy that was wrong. The cashier charged us $5 more than our order cause she was entering the orders incorrectly and then her supervisor cane to her rescue and defended her that it was the same thing. She did it again and this time charging us $4 more. I asked the supervisor to give me a breakdown and they finally got it to the right amount. I was more frustrated at how the manager handled the situation. She was very rude and unapologetic. If you eat here, double check your bill before paying. read more

We had been on the road for about 18 hours when we stopped in Tucumcari for some 'real food.' It's the only decent sized city to eat in between Amarillo & Albuquerque. I never heard of Blake's, but I guess it's a somewhat famous burger chain in New Mexico. I should mention that I hadn't eaten since Springfield, MO...so at this point I would have eaten anything. I went for the 'Lotaburger,' similar to a whopper with a more authentic homemade burger taste. The seasoned fries were excellent. You can view their menu at http://www.lotaburger.com/pg_menu.html If I'm ever in New Mexico, I think I'll return to try a breakfast burrito, they looked damn good too. read more

See all

Without a doubt, one of the worst burger chains in existence. I've never seen a flatter burger than their classic with cheese. Oh my...and tasteless. No amount of ketchup or mayo can improve this. read more

Burgers were amazing. Each cooked to order and we're correct. Staff at register little aloof and not highly engaged.

Didn't know what to expect from a Blake's in Tucumcari, but this place fit the bill. The food and service were good. A solid recommend if you like Blake's GC Cheeseburgers read more

I am from California stopped by on my way to Texas. Food was good and service was great. Hamburger meat tasted fresh, chili had a good kick to it. All staff was nice, extremely informative , and helpful. Especially Michael, thank you Michael and keep up the good work. P.S. Better the Wataburger!!! read more

My first time eating at Lotaburger. Very slow service. Inside eating area seem rundown. Does not match front running burger place such as In-N-Out and Whataburger. read more

Food was good! The restaurant however was eerie. No one was there, the lady at the front was spooky and rushing to serve us even though there was no one there. Restroom was gross better off going to a gas station. read more

On a trip thru New Mexico on 40. We were in the mood for a burger and found this place. It was a few miles off our route but what the heck. Bad customer service thru the drive thru. Food came to use quickly though. The fries were bitter and no amount of seasoning helped. The chilly cheese fries were gross and tasted like can chilly seasoned w/to much Cayenne pepper and all of that on top of those bitter fries. The burgers were bland, could have used at least some garlic,onion, salt and pepper . Flat thin "meat"patty loaded with shredded lettuce to make it look thick. We ordered one chocolate milkshake and it was a granny consistency and tasted like cheap chocolate milk. Over all, way to expensive for the quality. Hope they fix these issues. read more

I'm a burger connoisseur and love trying new (to me) places. Passing through Tucumcari and gave this place a shot. Got a green chili/cheese burger, a regular lotaburger, fries, and drink. The burgers were excellent. Well prepared, hot and tasty. I'm not a big fan of fat fries, but these were nicely seasoned. There were a few service problems - bathroom out of order, drink dispenser out of order so your choice was tea or water, the girl at the counter wasn't very productive. Took a little time to get my food. In spite of problems, I would go back for the tasty burgers. read more

The service was slow, as though they had more orders than they could manage. There were two registers, but only one was staffed, resulting in a long line. Once my order came, a Chili Cheese Dog, I opened the container and found it to appear quite sad and unappetizing. The restaurant also had several flies who seemed to be having a better time than me. The pleasant servers and decent food kept it at two instead of one star. read more

Blake's Lotaburger - This is the sad Chili Cheese Dog I ordered. The dog tasted okay, but the bun was strange and the Chili wasn't especially warm. - Burgers Near Me - Tucumcari, New Mexico

We stopped here around 9:30 am because we were feeling like "lunch" food instead of McDonald's breakfast and I'm glad we did. We both got LOTA burgers with bacon (which was cooked perfectly) and Chiles (which they forgot to put), regular fries and onion rings. It does take a little while for the food but it's worth it for a super fresh meal!! read more

Never been here before but when we walked in, we were having second thoughts. All the tables were filthy dirty. Went to the bathroom and there was no toilet paper and the garbage can was overflowing. Been here 25 minutes and still waiting for one hamburger and onion rings. read more

Delicious! Burger with chili's is the way to go. We had both seasoned fries and onion rings. Both were OK but the burgers are where it's at! The place was clean as well as the bathrooms. Definitely worth a stop. I can see where some people who left revviews could have had issues as it was literally two people working but the service was friendly and reasonably quick for us. Yum! read more

We make a cross country road trip every summer and my wife always comments that she wants to try Blake's. The stars have never aligned for her from a time perspective, we are always either in NM too early or too late. I knew she really wanted it so this years trip Blake's was a dedicated stop. Man am I glad we stopped! The menu is super easy. Itsaburger is a smaller "kid sized" burger, while the lotaburger is, well, a lotta burger. Wife opted for a lotaburger with green chiles, I opted for a lotaburger with bacon, both with seasoned fries. Holy cow this place is AMAZING. I did not expect it would be so delicious. This is going to be part of our regular routine going forward. If you're driving by in a similar fashion, find a way to make the stop! You won't be disappointed! read more
