Burger Restaurants in New Mexico

When Guy Fieri rolled his red Camaro into the Land of Enchantment, he discovered that New Mexico’s burger scene packs as much punch as its famous green chile. Between 2009 and 2019, Triple D showcased 3 burger joints across the state, with Santa Fe and Albuquerque serving as the primary destinations for Flavortown’s faithful followers.

Leading the pack is Rowley Farmhouse Ales in Santa Fe, earning an impressive 4.5-star rating by pairing craft brews with creative burger builds. Equally stellar is Albuquerque’s Standard Diner, also rated 4.5 stars, where classic American comfort gets a Southwest upgrade. These establishments represent the best of what the state has to offer, maintaining an average rating of 4.0 stars across all featured locations.

Of the three restaurants Guy visited, two remain open and ready to serve hungry travelers seeking that authentic Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives experience. Whether you’re cruising down Route 66 or exploring the artistic streets of Santa Fe, these New Mexico burger spots deliver the bold flavors and no-frills atmosphere that earned them a spot on television’s ultimate food road trip.
