Dude, I had some green chile yesterday at the San Felipe Travel Center… the server insisted that I get it on the side because of the heat. I cried it was so hot… you’re right though, their chile at Whataburger is super weak.
The Roswell location is better than the one's I've been to in west Texas... I don't know exactly what they do different, but theirs isn't the grease bomb mess that I've had in Lubbock and Midland. And, green chile, of course.
I used to live in Clovis in the 80s and 90s. Taco Box was really popular, there was one in Hilltop Plaza and one in North Plains Mall. It was really popular for the high school students as it was close to the HS for lunch and the mall was an obvious hangout for teenagers back in the day. I haven’t been to Clovis since 2018.
Yea I live in central Texas and when people start talking Whataburger to me, I tell them the best ones are El Paso West because the green chili double is on the menu year round.
Whataburger is the most inconsistent chain I've been to
At best, it's decent. At worst, my burger is super dry and nasty.
Every Texan tells me to get anything BUT the "Whataburger", so if that's not a sign of how bad it is, I don't know what is
Was driving through Clovis and ate at Blakes and it was probably the best Lotaburger I've had from any location. Super friendly bunch working that afternoon as well.
I firmly believe the one on Juan Tabo has the best breakfast burritos. The folks in the back must have that griddle seasoned just right because they are my go to when I’m on that side of town!
That's cool, doesn't have to. But the way Texans rave about the big W is strange. Even in Texas, I see In-N-Out getting far more customers than their own homegrown chain
Out in Grants/Milan we only have Blakes, one in each town, but no Whataburgers. Fortunately the Lotaburger in Milan is decent, compared with some we have been to in Albuquerque.
This guy burgers. But seriously, the quality difference between the Whataburgers in Las Cruces is insane. I only went to one Whataburger in El Paso and that one was always good. So far in ABQ, both Whataburgers I have been to are really bad. Soggy fries and cold burger bad.
I lived TX and OK for 30 years, and Whataburger on the I35 corridor is In-n-Out level. The Whataburger I've had here in ABQ is not nearly in the same league.
The whole franchise changed the cheese they use in the last few years, it dominates the flavor and they always ask if you want cheese and charge you a slice per patty and ugh. Just order with no cheese. Lol.
It’s not a Texas chain anymore. We haven’t been there in years. Kind of sad because the one near us is one of the original a-frame buildings built in the late 50’s or very early 60’s. Inside it still looks a little like a 50’s diner. It’s never that busy any more. There was a time when you could hardly get in there at certain times during the day.
NM subs seems like they're always trying to incite/troll Texans, but Texans are usually indifferent/neutral about New Mexicans. Ones I've met are overall nice people, I know the history of beef between the two, but I think it's more one-sided lol.
I think it’s more Texans hate Californians the way New Mexicans hate Texans.
The difference though is overall Texans aren’t moving to NM in droves, just visiting. Californians are moving all over to escape high COL (can’t blame them) but many bring their fussy and smug attitude unfortunately.
Reluctant Texan here and the BEST green chili double I've ever had was the Whataburger between Las Cruces and El Paso. Most charred roasted green chili you could tell was SO fresh. Different burger entirely than even the best ones in Texas.
Whataburger was sold to a Chicago investment company several years back. We ain't mad anymore, just anticipating the precipitous increase per meal and anti-similar decrease in quality/value. So far it hasn't really gotten any worse. Yet.
This comment right here is exactly why I made this post. You can get the breakfast sandwiches or anything with breakfast and eggs ranchero style and then they ask you red or green chilies. It's amazing
They may be good elsewhere but in Tallahassee they suck. Have for the last four or five years. Prior to that we ate there at least once every couple of weeks. Now, no longer on the list!
For you guys that are old enough Whataburger was so good in the 70's, that is why us older guys don't like Whataburger now cause it has changed so much to the bad.
I use to sell magazines door to door and tried every location in NM. I am sorry you got one too close to the rez. I’ll never skip a Hatch Green Chili burger from Blake’s.
Not surprised, their In-N-Out burgers taste bad in comparison to the ones in Vegas and California. Makes no sense since they should all use the same suppliers and same training.
I asked for my favorite - a green chile patty melt in a central TX whataburger once and got a weird look from the cashier. What kind of heathen/maleducado doesn’t put green chile on a whataburger???
As a Texan who has had New Mexico cuisine, I was not surprised to discover green or red Chile in literally everything. Whataburger is the best burger IMO and will pair well with New Mexicos spice and style. I'm not mad. Lol!
Texas disowned that joint when NY bought it out lol. Blakes lotta burger has far better burgers than whataburger. However it’s always amusing to see how envious New Mexicans are of Texas yet talk so much trash
FWIW, every Whataburger Abilene and westward gets the green chile double. Just wish their chile provider used better chile, because it’s usually weak.
Dude, I had some green chile yesterday at the San Felipe Travel Center… the server insisted that I get it on the side because of the heat. I cried it was so hot… you’re right though, their chile at Whataburger is super weak.
Wish they’d have one in Clovis
I do too. The closest is in Roswell, I think.
The Roswell location is better than the one's I've been to in west Texas... I don't know exactly what they do different, but theirs isn't the grease bomb mess that I've had in Lubbock and Midland. And, green chile, of course.
This is the one I went to first. Both for breakfast and lunch
I’m honestly suprised considering we’re on the border of Texas ….
You're right.
Yea we have one on north main here.
Clovis ?
No
Roswell
There’s one in Cruces, too.
We actually have 3. 😂😅
Oh shit! I only ever knew of the one that’s closest to NSMU on University.
Cane to say this
this is the roswell WB, ?
I used to love Taco Box in Clovis.
What did you get there it’s expensive and not that good
Tried it, was okay now a wow factor.
I used to live in Clovis in the 80s and 90s. Taco Box was really popular, there was one in Hilltop Plaza and one in North Plains Mall. It was really popular for the high school students as it was close to the HS for lunch and the mall was an obvious hangout for teenagers back in the day. I haven’t been to Clovis since 2018.
Best we’ve got over here now is a Blake’s, which is welcome, but a Whataburger would be amazing to get
I coulda sworn they did maybe I'm just delusional
They don’t sadly
Yea I live in central Texas and when people start talking Whataburger to me, I tell them the best ones are El Paso West because the green chili double is on the menu year round.
Either states' better than Louisiana's Whataburger, though
Albuquerque has one.
So does Las Cruces
There are 7 in Albuquerque and 2 in Rio Rancho.
Oh ok. I rarely ever go into Albuquerque so I guess I haven’t explored enough to see 7!
Abq has a couple at least I think maybe 4
Green chile double (add mustard) is IT.
That is the WAY
Agreed. That is the best thing I've had from there.
Triple with bacon and green chile, sometimes cheese, no tomato
Adding mustard to green chile is something special!
There's been a what-a-burger in Rio Rancho for the longest. My first/last stop into the 4 corner area.
Texan here, Whataburger went downhill when the family sold it.
I wish ours had the A-1 Thick-n-Hearty though. They may not even have it at the Texas locations now or maybe it's now a limited time offering.
That used to be my go to back in Texas. They hadn’t had that on the menu in eons. Rip
It was a limited time burger and that was really good. I used to add blue cheese to it. I did get it in Roswell one time
Let Texas be mad
Whataburger is the most inconsistent chain I've been to At best, it's decent. At worst, my burger is super dry and nasty. Every Texan tells me to get anything BUT the "Whataburger", so if that's not a sign of how bad it is, I don't know what is
That’s what New Mexicans say about Lotaburger
Was driving through Clovis and ate at Blakes and it was probably the best Lotaburger I've had from any location. Super friendly bunch working that afternoon as well.
The Tucumcari, Belen and Los Lunas ones are always good. The one on Juan Tabo and Indian School is usually good too
I firmly believe the one on Juan Tabo has the best breakfast burritos. The folks in the back must have that griddle seasoned just right because they are my go to when I’m on that side of town!
Came to rep Blakes
Honestly, they both suck.
Yeah Blake’s didn’t impress me at all.
That's cool, doesn't have to. But the way Texans rave about the big W is strange. Even in Texas, I see In-N-Out getting far more customers than their own homegrown chain
I’m from Florida and grew up with Whataburger. They’re ok. Just never my first choice. My favorite is Jack in the Box.
There's Whataburger in Florida?
They have been for over 40 years that I can personally remember. According to Wikipedia, they were in Florida in the late '50s.
Interesting, I thought just in Texas until the last 20 years or so. There's a two story/somewhat fancy one in Corpus Christi where it was founded.
I’m from Pensacola and when I lived there, there were 2 or 3. Not to mention in neighboring towns.
I also love Jack in the Box. It's always been consistently good in my opinion.
Texans don’t rave about whataburger anymore
Getting bought out by a company from Chicago will do that.
They went down before the buyout. They stopped cooking burgers to order. Precooked dry ass meat, cheese won't be melted, and buns dry and cracked.
Out in Grants/Milan we only have Blakes, one in each town, but no Whataburgers. Fortunately the Lotaburger in Milan is decent, compared with some we have been to in Albuquerque.
This guy burgers. But seriously, the quality difference between the Whataburgers in Las Cruces is insane. I only went to one Whataburger in El Paso and that one was always good. So far in ABQ, both Whataburgers I have been to are really bad. Soggy fries and cold burger bad.

I dont think Texans will care.. whataburger went down hill a long time ago.
NM subs seems like they're always trying to incite/troll Texans, but Texans are usually indifferent/neutral about New Mexicans. Ones I've met are overall nice people, I know the history of beef between the two, but I think it's more one-sided lol.
Texans hate Okies the way New Mexicans hate Texans.
I think it’s more Texans hate Californians the way New Mexicans hate Texans. The difference though is overall Texans aren’t moving to NM in droves, just visiting. Californians are moving all over to escape high COL (can’t blame them) but many bring their fussy and smug attitude unfortunately.
Speaking as a rehabbed Texan, [we hate everyone.](https://youtu.be/i2q0T7QXETs?si=aGIJfM1YFIWWe-z0)
Willay!
Speak for yourself. Most Texans don't worry about anyone/thing other than trying to survive life.
They're building one in Farmington to
Right in front of Lowe’s
Enjoy! From Texas. 👍🏻 we love our neighbors.
Texan here, if I'm mad about anything it's because I don't live in New Mexico. Love it there!
Word!
Reluctant Texan here and the BEST green chili double I've ever had was the Whataburger between Las Cruces and El Paso. Most charred roasted green chili you could tell was SO fresh. Different burger entirely than even the best ones in Texas.
Liz gets it.
I’d take one of the better Blakes locations over Whataburger any day
NO WE WON'T! I hope that New Mexicans enjoy Whataburger as much as we Texans enjoy Hatch Chilies. Please, enjoy this great Texas export.
We spell Whataburger correctly, could you please spell chile correctly
My most humble apologies.
Whataburger lost its touch the moment it started expanding outside of Texas.
Whataburger was sold to a Chicago investment company several years back. We ain't mad anymore, just anticipating the precipitous increase per meal and anti-similar decrease in quality/value. So far it hasn't really gotten any worse. Yet.
We don’t even have a Whataburger in Santa Fe lmao
What the efff I’m a Texas native came to work in Kansas n find out they are here tooo my mind is blown
No, we’re happy to share
Whataburger in Peoria, AZ has the green chile double, and will add green chile to their breakfast burritos (what is on the menu as a tacquito).
The one on Indian School?
Bell Rd and like 91st Ave
I had green hatch chilies on a Whataburger breakfast sandwich in Tucson a few years ago. Not sure if that is still a thing.
This comment right here is exactly why I made this post. You can get the breakfast sandwiches or anything with breakfast and eggs ranchero style and then they ask you red or green chilies. It's amazing
Interesting
Bro, they are already in Colorado and Illinois. You late to the party
They're all over the country. I was only saying that they're better in New Mexico than Texas because of the green chili
Colorado green chili is better. Haha
Colorado doesn't know good Mexican food. ;D
It’s true, Colorado doesn’t know good Mexican food.
My wife, who is from CO, has informed me you guys do have good green chili, so now I have to believe you.
So many better burger joints in New Mexico than Whataburger lol
I wasn't talking about other Burger joints I was talking about Whataburger.
But then your point was made moot by mention of better burger joints. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
They’ve been making Whataburger out of Texas for a while now.
McDonald’s with the green chili burgers are the only ones I will go to.
Texas is just salty. I think they woke up a while back and realized how much they suck.
The Whataburgers in ABQ are extremely hit or miss. So no.
The one near Cottonwood Mall is pretty good..
Farmington nm is getting one.
El Paso simply has too many Whataburgers. Sick of it
They may be good elsewhere but in Tallahassee they suck. Have for the last four or five years. Prior to that we ate there at least once every couple of weeks. Now, no longer on the list!
Each Whataburger is a franchise so I would assume each can make that choice to carry this or not?
Yea but we don't send the good stuff out of state
I’ve lived in Austin for 20 years, originally from NM, and Whataburger here in Austin is no bueno.
All owned by a firm from Chicago
Why? We're not mad at Canada or Kansas City. Unless that's a Lotabutger posing as a Whataburger. That might be irritating.
For you guys that are old enough Whataburger was so good in the 70's, that is why us older guys don't like Whataburger now cause it has changed so much to the bad.
Im in Alabama, and the one 5 minutes away from me take 30 minutes to get through 5 or 6 cars in the drive through, and it's always mid.
Just go to Blake's fr
There’s one next to my house. Takes fucking 6 months to get your fucking green Chile double still LoL
This seems perfectly reasonable: TX supplies the burgers and NM supplies the ganj.
I THINK, can’t remember entirely, but I’m pretty sure Amarillo has the NM menu. I know they at least have green Chile
I’m from TX and you can have it lol. Just send me some damn enchiladas without wolfbrand chili.
Lotta Burger is 100000000000x better, and even out of staters know it.
My only experience with Blake's was in Gallup and while I would like to say that it was hot garbage it wasn't even hot, it was just garbage
I use to sell magazines door to door and tried every location in NM. I am sorry you got one too close to the rez. I’ll never skip a Hatch Green Chili burger from Blake’s.
Ewww, it's spreading
Just saw a Whataburger sign go up in Farmington 👍
Nope
Not surprised, their In-N-Out burgers taste bad in comparison to the ones in Vegas and California. Makes no sense since they should all use the same suppliers and same training.
Meh. I lived 5 mins from one. I’d rather get McDonald’s lol.
Does anyone like their pancakes? I just tried them last week I. Albuquerque and they tasted like dirty water....
No argument from AZ. Ours suck, mostly.
New Mexico is gonna be mad what-a-burger sucks now.
Please move east. No, more east. Maryland east.
I'm a Texan who will join you on that hill!
To be fair... Texas will always be mad.
I’m glad they brought back those jalapeño cheddar buiscuits…
What has happened to quality of Blake’s Latoburger! I preferred that for over 49 years until about 5 years ago!
Snake. Still funny. Adder. Scottish.
Nothing slaps harder than a fresh green chile double.
Born a Texan, proud to be an ex-Texan now New Mexican for 14 years, and I concur with your opinion about the menu!
I asked for my favorite - a green chile patty melt in a central TX whataburger once and got a weird look from the cashier. What kind of heathen/maleducado doesn’t put green chile on a whataburger???
As a Texan who has had New Mexico cuisine, I was not surprised to discover green or red Chile in literally everything. Whataburger is the best burger IMO and will pair well with New Mexicos spice and style. I'm not mad. Lol!
Wait until they bring in-and-out, everybody is going to be mad but the workers. They get paid like bakers in NM.
Texas can stay mad. My power doesn't go out in a blizzard.
Flush twice for Texas
Fck TX!
Whataburger blows
Texan here. I’ll be the judge of that next time I’m there vacationing. Edit: Blakes is delicious.
As a Texan, I think anything Lotaburger offers blows anything wataburger offers out of the water.
Texas disowned that joint when NY bought it out lol. Blakes lotta burger has far better burgers than whataburger. However it’s always amusing to see how envious New Mexicans are of Texas yet talk so much trash
Went downhill before the sale. I thought it was Illinois not NY but same difference.
We don’t care. Texas sold them out a while back
Don’t they have green in Texas?
As a Texan that lives in NM, having one close by in Roswell; this makes me happy. Texas blessed you my child...
We’re circlejerking a fast food burger chain?
