Hi-Di-Ho is better than Blake's, they've been around forever, but they are very expensive.
Ya get what you pay for...they are so good at Hi-De-Ho... and up in Timberon they have great ones also...so fresh... Will have to take Cathy there..

For years, Clayton has been our stopping place for lunch on our way home from NM to Kansas.
There was a place out on one of the main drags ... heading south? .... that was a good place to eat. But the last time we went through there it was closed. I want to say it was something like "The Tip Top Cafe"??? Do you know what place I am referring to? Is it still there? They had some GOOD food .... including great green chile. yummmm....
The librarian in me just wants to catalog things and make lists, so I have verified names and places and summarized the results of our informal survey here. Here you go, chileheads, these are the places that got our votes. Now all you have to do is to go on tour and decide which you all like best.
Statewide: Blake’s Lotaburger (great onion rings, too). 76 locations—see them at Lotaburger: Welcome
Alamogordo: Hi-D-Ho Drive In
Cerrillos: Mine Shaft Tavern
Clovis: Bill’s Jumbo Burger; Kelley’s Bar and Grill
More about chiles, if you just can't get enough: NMSU Chile Pepper Institute: http://www.chilepepperinstitute.org/. You can become a member, receive a newsletter, or just read the web site, which is full of information about chiles and growing them. Check out their online catalog to order seeds, books, posters, or t-shirts.
Okay, I'm confused though. Is the Mine Shaft Tavern on the list the one in Madrid?
I KNOW there is one there .... and I know they have GREAT green chile burgers.
It doesn't seem like Cerrillos could have a place with the same name.
Darn! There goes the list. I was so careful about checking, too. When I google "Mine Shaft Tavern Cerrillos" I get 2846 State Hwy 14 N, Cerrillos, but when I google "Mine Shaft Tavern Madrid" I get just as many hits with the same address in Madrid.
Is there any way I can edit the list now? I know you can edit for a while, but that option seems to have gone away. Wish I'd thought to ask you to look it over before I published the post...

P.S. On the other hand, Google Maps shows it in "unincorporated Santa Fe County" near Madrid, with a mailing address of Cerrillos. Sounds like a confusing situation all around.
