    Real burger. Real fries. Only $16 w drink.
    Curt H.

    Good ole "just like mom used to make!" Very casual place. Excellent burger. Twice as many fries as I could eat. EXCELLENT staff and service. Plenty of parking etc.

    From start to finish.

    I am so disappointed. I just spent eight dollars on a burger. Got to my car and the hamburger completely fell apart. The bun was also hard, I'm really sorry, but you lost a loyal customer and I feel really disappointed. There's also no way I was going back in because the line was too long and I don't have patience to wait for another burger to be made. McDonald's and Burger King have hamburgers that hold together and that's not saying a lot.

    Turkey burger before I scraped off the green chilies

    tried this place for lunch due to the great reviews. Went about 1130 and there was a line for the counter service. We got our burgers fairly quickly. Oh BTW, yelp says that there's beer and wine, there is not. My husband and I both got a burger one beef one turkey. We both asked for no green chilies yet we both got green chili chilies and they were HOT. tons of hot crisp tater tots. Yes I know they came out of the freezer, but I love tots. Good fries. Probably out of the freezer as well. Probably will not come back here anytime soon, but the burgers are tasty, and what appears to be handmade. Plus, they are huge.

    Ok. so I was looking for New Mexican food. The burger name initially threw me off. But the yelp reviews steered me in as a hidden gem of New Mexican goodness. Well as usual, the great yelpers were correct! What a great family owned joint. I ordered the patty melt and added green chilis. The bread came on the side. That was great for me. It had a guacamole salad on the side. It was some of the best guac I have ever had! The thinny fries are really thin fresh fried chips. They were so good hot! Service was really great. The ambiance was relaxed. it was a slow time when I was there. This really is a hidden gem. Great food for a reasonable price!

    Al Pastor Tortas -  not what is should be, gross!
    Guam D.

    I ordered the Al Pastor Tortas, but it looked like something else. At least that's what I'm told but I've had this yummy sandwich many times before. Just not from here. When it arrived it smelled sour. I thought it was a chili cheese hotdog by the roll, chili textured protein and shredded cheese. I couldn't get over the smell and sent it straight to the trash. The establishment is like most NM restaurants, very limited table service. You order at the register and the food is brought to you. Drinks are refillable and self serve. Even though there weren't anyone in front of me when we arrived, the food took a bit of time to arrive. Should be a good sign that it's fresh. Or!?!?! A friend ordered Chicken fried chicken and said it was delicious. I'm on the fence, I may have to try it.

    Look at them delicious mushrooms and grilled onions (very tasty)
    Naomi D.

    Delicious! I highly recommend! Service was great! Fast, friendly, and one of the best burgers (and fries) I have had in awhile !

    Crisp tots
    Andrew P.

    Great crisp tots and an above average green chile mushroom Swiss burger. Nothing fancy but cheap and tasty. Super sweet folks running it.

    Dang good burger and very reasonable prices. Lots of good stuff on the menu. A hidden gem.

    Breakfast burrito ($5).  Not the smothered option - chile was on the side. It was delicious! I asked for no potatoes.
    Michaelene K.

    I've reviewed this place before when I had a green chile cheese burger that was delicious. This time I stopped to try a breakfast burrito and was equally thrilled with the food. I asked for the burrito without potatoes and it was still large enough for 2 meals. For $5 it is the best deal on a burrito I know of in Santa Fe. As it is Covid times and take out only The chile came on the side (I ordered xmas) and I poured it on top when I was at home. It became a smothered burrito (Realburger charges extra for smothering)! Next time I will ask for chile on the inside because I hate those wasteful plastic containers full of sauce, but man did this burrito hit the spot. Realburger is 1 block north of Cerrillos, which makes me feel like I've found a hidden spot to get great food at a great value.

    These burgers look amazing! Anyone know whether they offer a gluten-free bun?

    No gf bun but they offer corn tortillas instead of bun which is a pretty good option IMO.

I asked for the burger to be cooked medium, and it was more like medium well or more done. The bun was a disaster, falling apart and sliding all over the place. One of the onions on it was inedible. The green chili suffered from a typical New Mexico problem (either hot with no flavor or flavor with no heat); this one was quite hot with no flavor. I don't know why, but my expectations were pretty high, but this burger was pretty bad. Oh yes, another point on the positive side, I got a house salad instead of french fries, and the salad was fantastic. Had some sesame seeds and cranberries in it that made it really delicious. I won't be back though. They simply must do better.

"If you're going to spend $20 OVER THERE {points to Modern General} and $8 on a shake over here it doesn't add up!!" Was the first thing the staff who ran out to me in the front parking lot said?! Lady you didn't ask me any questions, WTH are you talking about? When I explained I was crossing the gravel parking lot to scope if there was construction at the railroad park, instead of apologizing she doubled down: "It doesn't matter! You can't do that!!! !"....huh? I can't walk to the front of the parking lot? If you're the owner and your competition with the business next door is so bad that it's impacting your relationship with your own customers, consider addressing it with them directly or adding signage. If you are training your staff to confront folks parking, consider training them to start with a question instead of literally yelling non sequitur scenarios. Or walk all the way up to a person instead of screaming? Or wait to see if they actually leave the property? I'll be grabbing a pint of ice cream with a straw elsewhere, and trying not to let someone shouting at me instead of getting a snack affect my day after I'm done with this review. Hope the service improves, If this place is so desperate for high customer turnover and parking I wish them luck.
