Texas, New Mexico Restaurants Make Yelp List Of Best Cheeseburgers

Texas and New Mexico are tied at 2 each on this list of the best cheeseburger joints in the USA.

Cheeseburgers can be as simple as a patty and some cheese or they can be carefully crafted, juicy, gooey handfuls of straight up yum. These burgers are those burgers.

I've tried one of the New Mexico places myself and it is so worth the drive from El Paso.

Yelp ranked the top 20 places in the USA to get that classic, uniquely American standby ... the cheeseburger. First, here's how they did it:

We identified businesses in the burgers category, then ranked those spots using a number of factors, including the total volume and ratings of reviews​ among Yelp Elites. If a chain appeared on the list more than once, we only included the highest rated location. - Yelp

The land of enchantments' faves were Sparky's Burgers, BBQ & Espresso in Hatch, NM. They're in 15th place, right between the 2 Texas winners. I've actually been to Sparky's and, believe me, EVERYTHING is good there. It's in Hatch too so, you know the green chili is the best on the planet. Not sure about the espresso ... I hate coffee.

Santa Fe Bite, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, barely made the 20; coming in at 19.
