New Mexico Green Chile Cheeseburger Challenge part 3 of 4

The relative newcomer in my Green Chile Cheeseburger Challenge, as they've only been in business for less than ten years (2015), as opposed to the rest of the competition which have all been around for a minimum of fifty years.

But Yo Mama ain't no slouch, as despite the lack of experience, they managed to pull out a #2 ranking in my arbitrary poll. Let's get to the goods:

Green Chile Burger (aka Bosque Burger):

The Bun: Tasty artisanal bun that's only about a step-down from homemade. 4/5

Green Chiles: Check! There's nothing to complain about here, and they're the only one out of the four that used certified NM Green Chiles, if that means anything to anyone. 5/5

Cheese: The NM standard for cheese is a slice--or three--of American cheese - and they got that right here. 5/5

Ancillary topping: It does come with the standard burger accouterments of lettuce, red onions, pickles, and tomatoes. For a Green Chile Cheeseburger I feel like it should be served plain, as the veggies distract from the harmony of Chiles and beef, but I'll give them bonus point for the extra freshness of these ingredients. 4/5

Burger: Perfectly cooked burger that was juicy and had a nice char. The seasonings in the beef really paired well with the chiles, as the burger as a whole was a harmonious meal. 5/5

Fries: Their fries weren't housemade, but they were delicious and had a tasty seasoning on them. 4/5

Conclusion: Overall, at 27 out of 30 points, the Bosque Burger holds its own against some weighty competition and is a worthy runner-up in my competition.

NM 01-2024 Socooro's Yo Mama's Bar & Grill for lunch today. Tony and I had our normal drink order and Tony chose the Yo Mama's Chicken sandwich with cheese bacon tomato & lettuce with BBQ Sauce and homemade chips.

I chose the crescent sandwich with ham & turkey tomato and lettuce & bacon with mayo with fries. They were both very good. The tea was terrific The waitress was very pleasant and kept checking on us. She forgot my straw and had to ask for extra napkins twice but other than that it was great. Chef was on point!! Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic Food! The Yo Mama Burger with chili's added and house chips with a NM Haymaker honey wheat beer awesome. Chicken fried steak was also perfect. Highly recommend if out this way. Service was fast and friendly. It was a "Double Napkin Burger Experience"!!

Yo Mama's is extremely overpriced, especially for the portion sizes they offer. Additionally, service is always slow regardless of how busy the restaurant is or how many workers they have there.

It's been awhile since I've been to yo mamas but it was my daughters birthday and she chose to eat here. I usually order a big burger but it was lunchtime so I got me a patty melt. This is one of my favorites on the menu but today the bread was solid and hard to chew. The sandwich itself was a little dry too? It's normally really good. My daughter had the kids chicken tender meal and although I thought it was really small, she was happy so that's fine with me. The fries are good here. Service was ok except I hate to have to ask the waitress to refill our drinks especially when they aren't busy. I also like when we offered dessert instead of being asked if we're ready for the ticket. In my opinion yo mamas is just ok. We eat here about 3 or 4 times a year. And I haven't tried a lot of things on the menu other than the burgers and steaks. I did see the people next to us order a huge salad which looked great! I might order that next time! I'll more than like be back again sometime.

Servers were fast and friendly. Steak was soft and juicy. Chicken was tender and saucy.

Food is great, service is even better. We met Yo Mama when I came to Socorro the second time. She is an awesome personable business owner and I would definitely come to yo mamas if ever back in town. Try it out, you won't be disappointed! Yo mamas burger is amazing!

Delicious food and the Red Chile Margarita is not to be missed! Service was great and so was the vibe. I'll be back!

I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent service and high quality of food at Yo Mama's Grill. The building is unassuming from the outside, but the inside is brimming with tasty food and you can tell the staff is happy there. Thanks for a great meal!

My dad and I came here during the town's high season, and the place was mobbed. Everyone wanted to eat at a restaurant with such high reviews!

I ordered the 8oz sirloin and my dad got the pasta, and unfortunately, our meals didn't live up to the hype. My steak was tough and flavorless. I have to assume they do a better job when they aren't so overwhelmed and have more time to craft each meal? However, the staff were superb. Even among the constant demand for attention from so many tables, they provided top-notch service. Their excellence is what brought this review up from a 2.
