Go Burger Drive-in Las Cruces

GOOD, SPICY MEXICAN FOOD IN A TAKEOUT RESTAURANT

First off, Go Burger cannot be ranked among the Mexican food restaurants in town because there is no indoor dining. You get takeout or you sit on the steel picnic tables out front. BUT, THE QUALITY OF THE MEXICAN FOOD SERVED AT GO BURGER IS PROBABLY IN THE TOP FIFTEEN AROUND TOWN. 

So, don't be fooled by the name "Go Burger" as this is primarily a Mexican food restaurant. There is parking alongside the building, but parking can be difficult if they are busy. The parking spots are covered to keep the sun off. (I usually don't go there in the summer.) Step up to the front window and order from the board on the front of the restaurant. They call your number when the food is ready. They also have a drive-up window. Sometimes the food is prepared quickly and other times not so quick. Regulars often phone in their orders. Prices are very reasonable.

Go Burger is of course FAMOUS FOR THEIR VERY LARGE BURRITOS. They do offer other New Mex food and generally it is high on the heat. 

If you order one of their "plates" ......meaning with rice and beans.....you'll find the rice decent and the refried beans just so-so. 

Their red chile meat burrito is loaded with shredded pork and some diced potato. It is high on the heat scale. The chile relleno burrito is excellent. A delicious chile pepper is surrounded with some smooth refried beans and the texture of the beans is a perfect compliment to the crisp batter of the relleno. I like the green chile meat more than the red but both are very good. Their chimichangas are among the best around with a shell that is light and crispy and fried just right. Their chile rellenos are among the best. The stuffed sopapillas are very good also. I have not experienced any food at Go Burger that was not very good to excellent. (The burgers are also good.) 

What to expect if you go: A takeout joint with food that may take a bit of time to get ready, burritos that are on the huge side, and food that is generally pretty "hot."  Overall, good food.

MEXICAN FOOD RATING = AROUND TOP FIFTEEN IN THE AREA. GOOD STUFF.

Restaurant rating = FOUR STARS.....DESPITE THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO INDOOR DINING. When you're in the mood for some hot and good Mexican food and you don't want to dine in....this is your place.
