Burger House: Savor Authentic Mexican Burgers in Miami, AZ

Don't expect something fancy or trendy. But for "Mexican" food that the locals love, this place does the job. Split the 16oz carne asada with my wife. Delicious!

Burger House is an icon of Miami AZ, Gila County, and Arizona! Whenever we head up to the White Mountains from the Valley of the Sun, we plan on stopping for breakfast, lunch, or dinner at Burger House. Their food is excellent and the value is amazing! They’re especially well known for their Green and Red Chile burritos and almost everything else on their menu smothered in green or red chile. We love green and red mix burritos which have beans in them along with green Chile pork and cheese or red Chile beef and cheese. A few things you should try smothered in Chile besides the burritos are the burgers, fries, and enchiladas. If you’re feeling adventurous, ask for a fried egg on top of whatever smothered plate you’ve ordered. The delicious, oozy, yolk is a perfect compliment to the chile. Try an order of buttered tortilla chips with the house salsa too. It’s a wonderful starter. If you’re short on time, call ahead and place an order for pick up. If you have time to dine in, be sure and ask them to smother your burrito, burger, fries, or enchiladas with your favorite chile or both (Christmas Style) as it won’t come that way unless you ask. Some of my favorite items are: Green Chile mix burrito smothered in chile (beans) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Red Chile mix burrito smothered in chile (beans) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Red Chile burrito smothered in chile (no beans) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Red Chile burrito smothered in chile (no beans) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Burger smothered in chile ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fries smothered in chile ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enchiladas smothered in chile ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chile Relleno smothered in Chile ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hot buttered chips and house salsa ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My guide on how I use the 5 star system: ⭐ = Not good ⭐⭐ = Not terrible, but would not get again ⭐⭐⭐ = Solid, but I’d try something else before this again ⭐⭐⭐⭐ = Really liked it! You should try this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ = Loved it! Must try I’ll make adjustments to my ratings after subsequent visits. If you see a .3 or .7 it means: .3 = Wasn’t as good the 2nd or last time I tried it .7 = This was better the 2nd or last time I tried it.

The actual name is La Cocina de Casillas, but the food was amazing, hit the spot, but not overfilling even after finishing my entire plate. And the rice was amazing. I usually don't really go for the rice at most Mexican restaurants but it was delicious here. I had the beef enchiladas dinner plate and I loved it.

The red chili burritos here are the best. Although I wish they would put lettuce and tomato in it by default. It makes it taste even more great and its able to last longer if you take it home! The service here is very friendly and it is also family owned/ran too!

Spectacular burger. I ordered the burger ole and I'm glad I did. The fries were less impressive, but at least they were salted perfectly. They were quite busy, since I arrived at lunch. Definitely a locals spot. Everyone was friendly and helpful from the staff to the locals who answered my questions while we waited in line.

Standard clean hole in the wall place. That's the whole vibe. You don't need to be distracted by atmosphere when the food is bomb. After 10 years of surviving on TexMex, we're moving to AZ. Along the way, we stopped for gas and my husband asked inside where to get breakfast. He was thinking Mickey D's but the lady told him to go across the street for a green chile burro. Green chile pork is one of my favorite foods in life. I ended up ordering a Tony Especial breakfast burro Christmas style with red and green chile. Im not lying when I say the first bite brought a tear to my eye. Absolutely delicious!!! I actually saved it on my GPS so I can find my way back here one day. Also, the guys cooking and especially the lady at the counter were sooooo friendly and nice. Love it! This place is a true gem.

Their green chile is probably the best in the state. It was phenomenal. However, the shredded beef taco was disgusting. It was not shredded like you would normally see in Mexican food. It was like a beef paste, like you see in the tacos at Jack-in-the-Box. I will definitely be back, but they can keep those tacos.

I had Burger House for the 1st time on April 23rd...on April 30th I drove over 50 miles to get bean burritos. I reheat it in foil for an extra special touch! Chips and salsa is delicious! I am giving 4 stars since I asked if they had ground beef tacos...she said yes...the meat in the taco was not ground beef. The bean burritos, salsa, and chips are worth the drive!
