They have excellent customer service. If you want good Mexican or American comfort food, stop by. You know it's full of locals. They also had cherry and apple pie.

It came with beans, Fritos, cheese (that was perfectly melted) ground beef and green chile sauce. I'm not a big spicy person and our waitress said it wasn't too hot. Well, she was right on. It was awesome. Just the right sized portion too. Great place for a good meal and phenomenal prices!

The portions were quite generous and the food itself was Ok. The service was friendly, the food came-up a bit on the slow side, but that's Ok. They're been in business over 100 years, so that's quite a claim. Picked it because the parking lot was full. [Really] :) Give PSS a try rather than the various fast-food places in town that you've likely tried elsewhere.

You can literally fuel up your stomach, your tank, and grab a little gift for the road. The menu has a bit of everything: burgers, burritos, enchiladas, carne asada, even breakfast. True to New Mexico style, almost everything can be smothered in red or green chile (and you absolutely should not skip it). Hands down, one of the best green chiles I've ever had in my life was here. I came in for a quick bite while passing through, hoping for a smothered burger (sadly they weren't making one that morning), but I went with Dino's Breakfast instead -- bacon and extra green chile on top. Total flavor bomb. Soul-pleasing doesn't even begin to describe it. When I walked in, the place was quiet. By the time I left, it was filling up with guests, and it's easy to see why. Sierra Grande is not to be underestimated, and it's now officially on my "must visit" list every time I come through.

We waited at the front desk for 10+ minutes to be seated and were just ignored. There were 6 tables seated in the whole place at 6:00 on a Friday and only one server was seen, although two other staff members walked by here and there from the back and didnt acknowledge us. Considering that all the folks already had their food, we were curious as to why no one was doing anything. We finally got seated by the bus boy and after a few minutes he came back and asked us about drinks because still no wait staff showed their faces. After we were there about 25 minutes a waitress graced us with her presences. We placed our order and waited another 25 minutes for 3 entrees. Our daughter's pancakes came without the whipped cream and syrup, the mixed fruit bowl was all grapes and one strawberry, my over-easy eggs were overcooked, my wife's fries were cold and soggy, and her fish was way overcooked. The waitress forgot our onion rings which showed up when we were basically done, and when our food arrived I reminded her about our two chocolate milks; she brought mine and not my son's, and then 7 minutes later she showed up with his. We ended up not drinking them because they weren't the chocolate milk that Denny's usually serves, we got white milk with some chocolate syrup stirred in. There was just enough syrup to change the milks color slightly, but not enough to even taste. These folks, although very pleasant, did about everything wrong that you could do wrong in the restaurant service industry. We will still go to Denny's and enjoy our food and experience, but we won't go to Denny's in Raton ever again. Please, go somewhere else.

This is the cutest place we found in Raton. The staff is amazing and they are so sweet. The food and fresh cold brew was so delicious. I'm not one for coffee but after trying my husbands I had to have one. The fresh blackberry tea was so refreshing. I can't say enough great things about this place. They were so welcoming and even let us hang out while we waited on our car. They always made sure we were doing well and if we needed anything at all! My husband and I highly recommend this place for great food and coffee! If we are ever back in the area we wouldn't miss our chance to stop in!
