Brothers Tom and Bob Salas launched the very first Bob&#8217;s Burgers in 1963 with their original restaurant at Copper and Sixth Street. Tom and Bob are still actively involved in the restaurant as is Tom&#8217;s son Clifford who owns several Bob&#8217;s locations. Everything is made to order at this popular New Mexico exclusive eatery. Unlike the green chile which tops so many burgers at other restaurants, Bob&#8217;s red and green chile bites back. Expect some of it to run down your arms. Expect to use three or four napkins per burger.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_46036\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46036\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45992 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 650\/523;vertical-align: text-top; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px; border: 4px solid black;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Bob09.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"523\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Bob09.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 650w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Bob09-300x241.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Bob09.jpg?size=128x103&amp;lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 128w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Bob09.jpg?size=384x309&amp;lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 384w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Bob09.jpg?size=512x412&amp;lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 512w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-46036\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Patty Melt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While advertisers may not think there&#8217;s anything memorable about the name Bob, New Mexico diners have known for generations that Bob&#8217;s Burgers stands out among its brethren as a unique franchise which doesn&#8217;t shy away from proffering hot chile. That chile, or more precisely chile sauce (a pureed blend of green chile, tomatoes, onions) provides a potently pungent and heady sensation with every bite of the <strong><em>Ranchero burger<\/em><\/strong>, the restaurant&#8217;s specialty. The meat patty is thin and there&#8217;s nothing especially noteworthy about the bun, but chile chile sauce is certainly memorable (at least to your singed taste buds).<\/p>\n<p>Locals can handle the degree of heat in Bob&#8217;s featured fare pretty easily, but out-of-towners might consider it cruel and unusual punishment to consume the Ranchero burger or any of the other chili laden items on the menu. Unlike the green chile used on many green chile cheeseburgers throughout the Land of Enchantment, Bob&#8217;s chili warrants a sweaty brow, scalded tongue salute. There are two Ranchero Burgers on the menu, a Supreme (green chile, lettuce, tomato, cheese) and the standard Ranchero (green chile only) and they&#8217;re available in small or large sizes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45992\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45992\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45992 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/587;vertical-align: text-top; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px; border: 4px solid black;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Bob08.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"587\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Bob08.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 600w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Bob08-300x294.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Bob08.jpg?size=128x125&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 128w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Bob08.jpg?size=384x376&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 384w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Bob08.jpg?size=512x501&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 512w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45992\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tortilla Burger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Bob&#8217;s menu offers a couple of variations on the Ranchero burger, including a <strong><em>tortilla burger<\/em><\/strong> in which a tortilla is substituted for the Ranchero burger&#8217;s buns and a <strong><em>taco burger<\/em><\/strong> in which a hard-shelled taco shell replaces the buns. Visit on Taco Tuesdays and this gem is discounted nicely. If you&#8217;ve never seen a hamburger patty nested in a taco shell, you might be surprised the first time you see this. Surprisingly, a hamburger patty nestled in a taco shell doesn&#8217;t taste at all like ground beef nestled in a taco shell. Bob&#8217;s is one of few restaurants to also offer a red chili burger (which <strong><a title=\"The Alibi\" href=\"http:\/\/www.alibi.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Alibi<\/em><\/a><\/strong> voters have selected as the second best in the city behind only the <strong><a title=\"Little Red Hamburger Hut\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/?p=3042\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Little Red Hamburger Hut<\/a><\/strong>.)<\/p>\n<p>Bob&#8217;s <strong><em>Frito pie<\/em><\/strong> has been a perennial Reader&#8217;s Choice award winner during the <em>Alibi&#8217;s <\/em>annual restaurant poll.
