Our Signature Laaamburger
Taken from the grass-fed lambs on our ranch, a USDA patty with herbs and feta cheese, served on a bun brushed with tangy parsley-mint-garlic dressing, completed with caramelized onions and coleslaw.
Street tacos
Featuring “taquitos de discada,” the festive, south of the border Chihuahua blend of meats, vegetables and spices, sauteed in a disk.
Each taco is served on two mini corn tortillas with a wedge of lime; add spicy red salsa, mild green tomatillo salsa and/or diced cilantro & onion, as you please. Two per serving.
Green chile cheeseburger
¼ lb quality beef patty served on a toasted, buttered bun, with the option of melted cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and/or roasted green NM chile, as you like.
Veggie-burgers
Served on a toasted, buttered bun. Even San Isidro knows some people don’t eat meat.
