Traveling I-10, need a green chile cheesburger! (Albuquerque, Las Cruces: rated, locations)

[randian]

Where should I stop to sample this New Mexico delicacy?

[N8!]

Actually just about every burger joint (including national chains) offer green chile in NM.

But Blake's LotaBurger is good, if you want something local to NM and convenient.

[randian]

Are there any Blake's along I-10? They seem concentrated in Albuquerque, which is rather far north of I-10.

Looks like there's a Blake's in Deming, right along the freeway. I'll try that.

They are scattered all over the state, but not sure how many of them are convenient from I-10.

The Alamogordo location is crappy; I hope the others are better.

Frankly, I'd take the detour from I-10 to Hatch and go to Sparky's.

One heck of a detour!

[randian]

Hatch is rather far out of my way. I see there are a couple of Blake's in Las Cruces too, as well as a couple of independents listed.

Blake's is a vastly overrated burger, usually thin, dry and more of a bun full of lettuce onion and tomato (when they're not too expensive) with mustard. A cheeseburger at Dick's or Days in LC is a better choice, and if you need to feed a whole family the otherwise silly worlds largest green chile cheeseburger at Double Eagle/Peppers in Mesilla would be a good choice. The bonus here is that you also get to visit Old Mesilla!
