Why Albuquerque Puts Green Chile on Everything

Burgers, fries, pizza, breakfast — in Albuquerque, green chile goes on everything. Here's why.

A Local Obsession

Ask anyone in Albuquerque and they'll tell you: green chile makes everything better. It's a regional obsession that turns ordinary food into something special.

The green chile cheeseburger is practically the state's unofficial sandwich.

It's the Flavor

Roasted green chile adds smoky heat and brightness that elevates burgers, fries, eggs, and more.

Once you've had it the New Mexican way, plain food never feels the same.

House-made green chile is the key — and that's exactly what Stufy's serves.
