Badlands Burgers & Brews — Restaurant in Aztec

We come to Aztec every couple of months, and this time, we noticed a new burger joint. We decided to give it a try. The restaurant has been opened for about 3 weeks from what we were told. They are in the process of getting their alcohol license. The restaurant has about 7 tables inside and about 6 outside. It's a cute little place. We decided to try the Badlands burger with cheddar cheese, bacon, green chile and garnish ( tomatoes, pickles, onions, lettuce), and the Hippie burger with Swiss cheese and mushrooms. Oh my, both were amazing! So juicy and flavorful! Great tasting bun and meat. The green chile wasn't very hot considering it's New Mexico and we're known for our chile but it was flavorful. I would definitely order this burger again. The Hippe burger was smothered with mushrooms, and we love the shrooms, so it was right up our alley. We ordered some French fries which were good as well. They complimented the burger well. If I can also make a recommendation, try the lemonade. It was so good! They freshly squeeze lemons in the restaurant to make it. You won't regret it! Currently it seems like they pack all orders up in paper bags even if you are eating there, That threw us a bit off but Im sure as they get established that will change in the future. We look forward to coming back again. Once everyone discovers this place, there will probably be a longer wait, but the burgers are worth it! Staff was very welcoming and friendly, and they are handicapped accessible. Enjoy! If you read my review, please hit the like...

Oh my goodness, we were blown away by the food! We kicked things off with a chicken sandwich and the incredible BLFries, which are smothered in a heavenly mix of green chili, bacon, and cheddar cheese—definitely a 10/10 experience! The flavor was out of this world, with just a hint of spice that complemented the delicious green chili perfectly.

Then I dove into the Spicy Burger, and let me tell you, it was divine! The pickled jalapeños added a fantastic kick, and the blackberry on top? Absolutely AMAZING! Another solid 10/10 from me! My fiancé ordered the 2nd Breakfast Burger and couldn’t stop raving about it; he said it took him back to his childhood. That’s a solid 9/10 for him!

If I could change one thing, though, it would be how the smothered fries were served. I wish the tin foil wasn’t underneath the fries so it wouldn’t risk ripping and getting lost in all that deliciousness. Maybe just wrapping it underneath the paper bowl and then lifting it up would do the trick? Overall, an...

Had a burger, fries and also tried their shredded beef tacos. We got the loaded fries, with cheese, bacon, and green chilies. You gotta try! Not only were the burgers and fries good, but the tacos might have surprisingly stole the show. The tacos had marinated shredded beef, cheese and lettuce. They were very tasty indeed. Came with a small side of pico and some guacamole. Added to the tacos made them even better. Tacos only last until the meat is gone for the day, so don't go too late or you'll miss out. I had some of their freshed squeezed lemonade to wash it down, and that was delicious as well. Overall, I would highly recommend trying this place out. I don't think you'll be...
