Albuquerque has no shortage of burger restaurants, from national chains to neighborhood diners. But when locals search for a satisfying burger on Albuquerque's West Side, the details matter: how the meat is cooked, whether the bun can hold the toppings, and whether the flavors feel connected to New Mexico.
At Caveman Burgers & Tacos, located at 6205 Central Ave NW #5 in Albuquerque, our burgers are built for serious appetites. The menu includes the Single Burger, Double Burger, Steak Burger, Super Wakala and the New Mexican Burger with roasted green chile.
A hot griddle builds a better crust
A properly heated flat-top creates direct contact between the seasoned meat and the cooking surface. That contact develops a browned crust while keeping the center juicy. The rendered flavor stays close to the patty instead of disappearing through an open grill.
Every layer has a purpose
The bun is warmed before the burger is assembled. Crisp lettuce and tomato bring freshness; bacon, ham, cheese and grilled pineapple create the rich, sweet and savory combination that defines several Caveman favorites. Guests who want a bigger meal can move from the Single Burger to the Double Burger, Steak Burger or Super Wakala.
An Albuquerque burger should taste local
New Mexico's food identity is inseparable from chile. Our New Mexican Burger adds roasted Hatch green chile to a grilled patty with bacon, cheese and pineapple. It is a natural choice for visitors who want a local Albuquerque flavor and for residents who already know that green chile belongs on a burger.
