Gah.... I may have to unsubscribe from this thread. I'm getting indigestion and heartburn just from looking at the pics 
Out West would I be considered a "Tenderfoot/Whimp" if I wanted by bun toasted ?
Why would you care?
Have fixed the way you want and enjoy yourself! Who cares what others think!
Now I too want one.
And a COLD BEER or three.

Another local Burger of note is the Laguna Burger.
It originated at a Gas Station Convenience Store out on the Laguna Pueblo on I-40 West of here.
Now they have expanded to several locations.
The Full Size is 1/2 pound.
I usually get the 1/3 pound.
It is da Wimp.

I think it would simply demonstrate wisdom and discernment: I was taken aback that Sparky's doesn't bother. To each his own, I suppose...

Yes, and I have two photos of them supra.

Only a couple bucks more than McDonalds. Looks worth it.
If the lotaburger tasted the same as before, then, maybe. Those burgers before, were BIG - and they tasted like heaven on earth! Now, not so much.
I lived in Socorro NM, about 10 miles north of there, in the 70s and 80s. Ate their burgers many times and they were always good. If I remember correctly, an owner was killed there.... Not sure when.
Green chile cheeseburgers are delicious, but I still prefer a good Texas jalapeno cheeseburger to any of them I've tried. Nothing wrong with green chiles, and the Hatch produce is a big deal here in western Texas every year in August.
Well, there was this one place in Tres Piedras many years ago that (inadvertently one hopes) served flies on their GCCB. Extra protein, I suppose.

Brings back some forgotten memories. Back in my oilfield days in Midland TX, I was a member of the Midland Country Club. It had a great restaurant and bar where all us oilfield trash hung out most afternoons. Of course everything there went on our expense accounts. One of their specialties was the bean burger, don't remember what they called it, maybe the Midland Burger. About a half pound of meat, two patties with a refried bean layer between, cheese, topped with a fistful of sliced pickled Jalapeño peppers and anything else you wanted. It was all I could do to get one down, and boy, were those burgers good.

Here's a "medium" burger from Sparky's - under
Untoasted bun. It comes with the top on, bottom off to the side. The beans were really good, though.
Thats cooked perfectly!

Well, talking about them so much gave me an antojo for one, so - while they were judging this year's winner at the fair - I took a friend and went to get one.
Half-pounder at Cocina Azul - cooked perfectly to order (medium-well) and pretty darned delicious:
Still haven't seen a news story about who won the State Fair competition today. By the way, Santa Fe had their (little) Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown last Friday, and Sobremesa won.

Looks just like the ones we had in May over Memorial Day. DeliciousAt a local fish place, believe it or not
Pretty sure this was Laguna Burger again
And, since the Mine Shaft in Madrid (only the Anglos say "MAD-rid," BTW; ask my 92-year-old suegro) was mentioned, here is the "NM Wagyu Green Chile Cheeseburger" they served me in April. I asked for it to be medium . . . it was - a little under.

Was just down that, gassed up At Isleta.
The Restaurant is behind the Gas Station- Convenience Store.
I've had the Tortilla Burger there, excellent.
They usually have the cheapest gas on the South end of town.

Mmmm. Loves me a verde cheeseburger.
Problem is my favorite one is made 220 miles away.
The local burger joint's only offering with peppers is so loaded with habanero sauce to the point that pain is part of its well-earned name.
