There&#8217;s nowhere to sit inside the restaurant and if you&#8217;re in a hurry, you&#8217;re out of luck because every burger is prepared to order. So why do generations of burgerphiles make Bert&#8217;s Burger Bowl a popular indulgence? World famous chef Martin Rios of the Anasazi may have said it best in the May, 2007 edition of <em>Santa Fean<\/em> magazine, &#8220;no one beats these burgers.&#8221; That&#8217;s high praise indeed from a culinary artiste who has been named Chef of the Year by both the city of Santa Fe and the State of New Mexico. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2284\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2284\" style=\"width: 491px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2284 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 491px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 491\/292;margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px; border: 4px solid black;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/bert04-1024x609.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"Bert's kitchen is always busy\" width=\"491\" height=\"292\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/bert04-1024x609.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 1024w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/bert04-300x178.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/bert04.jpg?size=128x76&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 128w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/bert04.jpg?size=384x228&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 384w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2284\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Bert&#8217;s kitchen is always busy<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">Bert&#8217;s claim to fame is the invention of the green chile cheese burger (something I don&#8217;t believe has been authenticated and is certainly in dispute because the <a title=\"The Owl Bar &amp; Cafe\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/?p=176\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Owl Bar and Cafe<\/a> in San Antonio has been serving them up since 1945). It should stand to reason that the inventor of New Mexico&#8217;s favorite burger should do it exceedingly well and Bert&#8217;s does&#8211;so well, in fact, that it was one of 48 restaurants selected for the inaugural <a title=\"New Mexico Green Chile Cheeseburger Trail\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/?p=6085\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Mexico Green Chile Cheeseburger Trail<\/a> in 2009. Bert&#8217;s was a repeat selection for the <a title=\"Bert's Burger Bowl\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/?p=10532\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Mexico Green Chile Cheeseburger Trail<\/a> in 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">Each burger is made to order. It takes about 12 minutes per order (and as long as 15 minutes for the lamb burger) which means your burgers don&#8217;t sit under a heat lamp. The meat is invariably well seasoned and the condiments are unfailingly fresh with crisp onion, fresh tomato, pickle slices and piquant green chile (Bert&#8217;s uses 120 pounds per week). The green chile cheeseburger is the reason Guy Fieri of the Food Network&#8217;s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Bert&#8217;s in September, 2008. \u00a0The signed poster on display under glass at Bert&#8217;s displays Fieri&#8217;s sentiments toward that burger: &#8220;You gotta love Bert&#8217;s green chile cheeseburger.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 435px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 435px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 435\/321;vertical-align: middle; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px; border: 4px solid black;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/nm\/burgers\/Images\/Bert02.jpg\" alt=\"Make it a double\" width=\"435\" height=\"321\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">A double-meat\u00a0 Green Chile Cheeseburger at Bert&#8217;s Burger Bowl<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">Bert&#8217;s burger is sometimes maligned by critics because the hamburger patty is anorectic compared to the gigantic slabs of hamburger proffered at restaurants such as the Bobcat Bite. Maybe that&#8217;s why altruistic owner Fernando Olea added five upscale gourmet burgers to the restaurant&#8217;s menu in the spring of 2007. The meat for each gourmet burger weighs in at a whopping half pound. Each burger is dressed to the nines with atypical ingredients.\u00a0 In any case, you can always get a double-meat, double-cheese, double-green chile burger as a recourse.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">The line-up includes a Kobe burger adorned with the same ingredients as Bert&#8217;s standard burger, but hey, we&#8217;re talking some of the most decadently oleaginous beef around. It&#8217;s the most expensive of the five gourmet burgers. The other four newcomers are a lamb burger (topped with pineapple chunks, chopped cilantro and pastor sauce), a pork burger (crafted with red chile and mashed beans ala San Antonio, Texas style), an ostrich burger (also bedecked with the ingredients found in Bert&#8217;s standard burger) and a bison burger.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 320px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 320px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 320\/248;vertical-align: middle; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px; border: 4px solid black;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/nm\/burgers\/Images\/Bert03.jpg\" alt=\"The bison burger, a real handful\" width=\"320\" height=\"248\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">The bison burger, a real handful<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">Bison meat is very high in essential fatty acids that can aid in the reduction of cholesterol levels. It&#8217;s a burger served best at no more than medium done so as to preserve its juiciness. Bert&#8217;s complements a thick beef patty with grilled onion ribbons and a fiery hot Morita sauce. Morita sauce is made from the smallest jalapeno in the last picking of the crop then is lightly smoked. Alas, a great burger is a sum of all its components, including the bun. During our inaugural experience with the bison burger, the brawny buns were toasted to the point of being desiccated. It detracted from an otherwise interesting and delicious burger.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">The lamb burger (pictured below) is so very different from any other burger on the menu in that it&#8217;s prepared with an al pastor (shepherd style) sauce.\u00a0 If you&#8217;ve ever had tacos al pastor, you&#8217;re familiar with the marinade used on the lamb burger.\u00a0 A sauce of lime, vinegar, garlic, oregano, onion, salt and guajillo chiles is liquefied on a blender and incorporated into the ground lamb.\u00a0 The lamb is topped with seared pineapple and cilantro, two other tacos al pastor touches.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not a burger everyone will love (we found it rather dry), but it&#8217;s a unique and creative option you might not expect to find in a small mom-and-pop restaurant renowned for conventional green chile cheeseburgers.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 465px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 465px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 465\/376;border: 4px solid black; margin: 3px;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/nm\/burgers\/Images\/Bert05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"465\" height=\"376\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Lamburger with Onion Rings<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">Cost conscious Bert&#8217;s loyalists might opt instead for the barbecue burger emboldened with a sweet barbecue sauce. A nice alternative to burgers altogether are the carnitas tacos served in soft Mexican corn tortillas with either green or red salsa. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">Bert&#8217;s chocolate shakes have lots of chocolate flavor and are of the consistency of a thick chocolate milk served very cold.

We debated just what it was that makes those onion orbs so good and eventually concluded it was the onions themselves. Bert&#8217;s onion rings aren&#8217;t dominated by that greasy batter you find almost everywhere else. They&#8217;re made with real onions whose flavor is allowed to come across wonderfully with a crunchy batter which doesn&#8217;t fall away from the onions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">In this age of golden arches and creepy burger monarchs, it&#8217;s a treat to dine at a burger stand in which old-fashioned burgers and innovative new burgers can still be had.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\"><strong>Bert&#8217;s Burger Bowl<\/strong><br \/>\n235 N.
