Laguna Burger: A Route 66 Gem Worth Stopping For
Pueblo of Laguna, NM – May 24, 2023 — Nestled just off Interstate 40, the original Laguna Burger and Route 66 Pit Stop offers a flavorful journey back in time for travelers navigating historic U.S. Route 66. Located on the eastern edge of the Pueblo of Laguna, the convenience store diner boasts a cozy yet immaculate dining space.
During a recent visit on a quiet Sunday afternoon, I ordered the renowned Laguna Burger ($10.99), opting to skip the lettuce and tomato. Accompanying my burger were onion petals ($5.99) and chile cheese fries ($6.25). To my surprise, my meal arrived swiftly, well within the expected wait time for a freshly grilled burger.
As I unwrapped my meal, the aroma of the burger filled the air, hinting at the delightful experience ahead. The onion petals were a crispy treat, sweet and perfectly cooked, reminiscent of a blooming onion. The Laguna Burger itself was a revelation—juicy and bursting with flavor from the red and green chiles and complemented by crunchy pickles and gooey cheese. Each bite was a testament to the art of preparation, allowing the beef’s meaty goodness to shine.
The chile cheese fries, hot and melty, provided a delicious counterbalance to the spices. The surrounding picnic area featured an informative display about the impact of Route 66 on the Laguna community, celebrating its role as a welcoming pit stop for generations.
For anyone traveling along I-40 or in search of an unforgettable dining experience, the Laguna Burger is not to be missed. With its crispy, flavorful offerings and nostalgic ambiance, it’s a memorable stop that outshines other burger joints.
