Interesting place, one should visit for sure, but if it's a fast food burger you're after this is the place, otherwise the Buckhorn Tavern runs circles aroung the Owl. In my honest opinion, the Owl's burgers were ok, nothing to write home about.
"The quality of chile makes all the difference in a green chile cheeseburger. The Owl uses full-flavored, hot green chile atop a hand-formed patty of crusty-fried beef. The chile's heat is complemented by the beef and balanced by the layer of creamy cheese on top. This one is fully dressed with all available condiments -- the only way to go."

"The Owl's green chile turns ordinary french fries into a memorable side dish."

"The view from my counter seat gives a small hint of the, shall we say, eclectic decor at this extremely colorful roadhouse."

"Just a couple of minutes off I-25 south of Socorro, the Owl Bar is a must-stop location for any traveler in search of unique regional specialties."
