Who will reign supreme?

The edible New Mexico Smackdowns have one simple goal: determining the best grassfed dish, hand-held burrito, and green chile cheeseburger in New Mexico. We invite chefs to toss their spatulas in the ring, throw down, and become the reigning champs. Thanks to our attendees and their iron stomachs, the Smackdowns have become some of New Mexico’s favorite annual foodie events—and they sell out every year!

The 2024 People’s Choice and Judges’ Awards for the Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown go to Sobremesa Restaurant & Brewery in Albuquerque.

The 2024 People’s Choice for the Burrito Smackdown goes to Oso Grill in Capitan.

2024 Judges’ Choice for the Burrito Smackdown goes to Villa Myriam in Albuquerque.
