Owl Bar & Café

The Owl Bar in San Antonio, NM — a tiny town south of Socorro — is the anchor institution of New Mexico's official Green Chile Cheeseburger Trail, a state-designated food heritage route. The bar has operated since the 1940s and its green chile cheeseburger, made with Hatch green chile, is cited by food writers including those at the New York Times and Saveur as a defining expression of New Mexico's distinct culinary identity.
