Best food I've had in Gallup so far as im only here for 3 months. I'm the type that will keep trying new places until I find my spot. So far this one has a leg up. Steak was very good, red chile sauce on the enchiladas was very good as well. Server was excellent and I regret not asking her name so that I could say "hey, ask for this person".

Our server, Mary was friendly, engaging and very attentive. Her recommendations were spot on. During our time there, at least 3 other servers came to check on us as well. Food was plentiful and delicious. The Stuffed Soapilla and Fajitas were the best! Highly recommend, tell Mary we sent you!!

The food is amazing. Very delicious. The staff is very nice. Although if they it is a busy day they will take a little longer but it is as expected. The atmosphere of the place is nice. The lights and the place is very neatly oriented and very clean.

Stopped for a late lunch on the way from Grand Canyon to Amarillo. Absolutely fabulous and friendly service. The food was fresh and filling and the restaurant was super clean and had a great vibe. Highly recommend!

Food was good and arrived hot. Prices are reasonable, and portion size was good. The green chili is excellent, and we love the chili relleno. Staff was courteous and friendly and checked on us frequently. Our drinks were always filled, and the salsa and chips were also good. It is a quiet atmosphere with tables and plenty of booths if you prefer. Sofapillas are also delicious, but I do wish the butter came softened and not frozen. Other than that, this place is one we will definitely visit again.

We've been traveling from Detroit, MI to Chandler, AZ for the winter the past 4 years. We found this restaurant and come every year. It's off the beaten path but ohhh sooo good. This time I had the chicken burrito with green sauce and my hubby had the tacos. The best green chillie sauce I've ever had. The friendliest staff you'll ever meet. Just love everything about this place. We will be back again in Apr when we take the trek back to Detroit.
