The Owl Bar and Grill in San Antonio, New Mexico

The Owl is about 10 miles south of Socorro, off Interstate 10, in San Antonio. Drive east to the flashing yellow light at the intersection with State Route 1; the Owl is on your left. It's mostly an eating place, not a drinking place, and it's popular with families.

The Owl probably serves the best burger in the universe, and has been doing so for many decades. Rowena and Adolfo Baca, the owners, are a some of the nicest people in the county. Rowena, who is also a county commissioner, buses tables in her own restaurant.

Service is excellent. Rather than dividing the restaurant into territories for each server, your primary server is whoever gets to you first, and everybody helps everybody out.
