Croissant Sandwich: flaky croissant with Hatch Chile heat.

The Lucky Bull Burger arrives as a colossal bite with a crack of char and a juicy center, loaded with green chile and bacon. Shrimp and Grits folds plump shrimp into velvety grits, a richness that hits without weighing you down. Pecos Valley Poutine stacks crispy fries with gravy, bacon, and green chile cheese for a shareable, bold starter. It’s NM-American comfort with real heft and flavor.
Skip The Classic burger, go for Lucky Bull Burger or El Jefe. For drinks, order a house margarita or craft beer.
