Blake's Lotaburger

We have been coming to this location since they opened and we have never had a bad experience. The food is always hot and fresh and amazing and the fountain drinks have so many options. The store is clean and the staff is always so nice. They deserve every one of these 5 stars.

Growing up in the ABQ, it was always a treat to see mom walking in with those unmistakable white bags from Blake's. I can still remember that flavor of the burgers...the fries....chasing it all down with a real cherry coke. Many summer nights were capped off with said cherry cokes , they were so good.After living in Tucson for many years, I was excited to find out Blake's was coming to town. I waited for the buzz to die down and ordered a NM style meal with a biscochito shake. It was good. The green chile makes the burger..no question. I wanted more from the burger but it was fine. I really enjoyed the shake. I miss biscochitos.I've been to all of the locations, and the service is always good. But I've been to the Valencia location more than the others. I was craving the green chile today, so I decided Blake's for lunch. The NM style with no tomatoes, and onion rings for the side. I love the onion rings..onion perfectly sliced and golden fried...crunchy and tasty..though lacking salt. No biggie. I bite in the double burger and my first taste in my mouth is tomato. Vile weed! Every time I've asked for no tomatoes there has been some on my burger. Frustrating. Another bite and I get the that steady burn of the green chile. Yum. Is there supposed to be cheese? Maybe I should've asked for cheese...there was none but cheese on a burger with green chile should be a given. I digress. The texture of the bun is a little off...its not soggy but it's definitely not toasted it's just..meh. The meat is plentiful looks good...but seriously lacks flavor. Like it's been pre-made and sitting in a warm dish of consummè waiting to be tossed on the grill. Which would be ok, however, get some sear on it! This would add some much needed flavor. Some seasonings would be great. Salt and pepper? Another review mentioned this burger is on par with Five Guys..? Yeah..no. I know each time I pull up for a NM style Lottaburger I'm gonna be slightly disappointed. Do I eat it and fondly recall my youth in the 505? Yes. Will I go there again? Probably.

So first time to Blake's Lottaburger outside of New Mexico and in Tucson. It's the first time I've been to a Blake's in about 5+ years. It's different than what I remember. The burrito is significantly smaller and it's not as good as it used to be. The counter service was friendly and fast. I mean so fast my burrito didn't get prepared as well as normally. Ie they didn't melt the cheese in the burrito so it was a combination of ingredients in a wrapper. Meh, I'll be chasing different breakfast burritos which is unfortunate because I grew up on Blake's as a New Mexican.

At Blake's they understand that fast food should be inexpensive quick, and it should taste good. They're actually better than the typical fast food burger, and for less money. Sides are freshly made and affordable; their fries are almost as good as McDonalds, but you get a lot more and pay less. They have a freestyle machine for sodas, sweet and unsweetened iced tea, and milkshakes - to me, the cherry shakes alone would be reason enough to go. Service is invariably friendly, knowledgeable and helpful - one employee actually offered to open doors for me! It's our favorite burger place in the neighborhood and if they stick to these standards, should be here a good, long time.

I've only had Blake's maybe twice and the last time was like 5 years ago, so I barely remembered what the product was like, with the exception of one aspect: the green chiles. Anything with green chiles automatically tops my list. So when my husband and I drove by this location, we had to stop. We each got the Lota burger New Mexico style and they are not kidding, it's a lot of burger. Worth the $8 price point for sure. The wait seemed a bit long, but when we got our burgers it was quickly forgotten. The ingredients are so fresh. Higher quality than most fast food. They do seem pretty heavy handed with the mustard and I personally wouldn't mind some kinda creamy sauce to complement/cut the green chilies, but overall, it was delicious. I read online that there are only a total of 75 Blake's and the only locations in Arizona are in Tucson! Lucky to have this New Mexico treat in our area!

I love stopping here when ever I can! The store is SPOTLESS!! The staff is always very friendly. The food is even better the burritos are my favorite!

Hot, juicy burgers with green chiles and cheese! The fries were also hot and delicious. The place was clean and the people working E'er friendly.

I was excited to try a new burger place but was quite dissatisfied when I received my food. The burger and bread where cold. It looks like they placed the food in a microwave when I ordered it and their priority was to give me the food but not make sure it was ready. Unfortunately I couldn't go back to the business to give back this terrible food because I was on my way to the Doctor. I suggest not to eat at this place

Next time leave the egg shells out of the burrito. Otherwise the burrito is okay. Bye, bye,

One of the best fast food burgers in town. Get the Green Chili Burger with Bacon added and a side of Onion rings. The quality of the burger is on level with Five Guys but at less cost. Never seems too busy so not a long wait in the drive thru. Go support so we can keep them in Tucson!
