What a great find on a roadtrip. We were hungry and making a pit stop in Raton as we drove to…read moreColorado. From the street it's very humble and walking in we knew this was a great diner/cafe with humble roots. The pictures on the wall were fascinating dating back many years of the Raton history. Service was awesome and friendly. Plus, they always kept our drinks filled! I ordered the Deluxe Frito 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!

Pappas Sweet Shop in Raton, NM is a good place to stop for a sit-down meal when you're on a road…read moretrip. The prices are *super* reasonable; this is not a pricey nor fancy place. 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.

Not impressive. I wanted to support but it was worse than expected. This "panini" is more like a…read moremiddle school lunch. I also witnessed the regulars waiting a very long time at the counter to get the staff's attention for coffee refills. It is what it is but I think 4 to 5 stars is exorbitant. positives were that the coffee was probably good, the kitchen staff seemed nice and attentive, the place was clean, they exist at all, however, I would suggest encouraging the front of house staff to pay attention to who is there in case they need help. Also, it'd be nice to have some vegetables or something a bit more interesting on the sandwich. I'll have to go back to eating at Alfonsos.

I highly recommend visiting this fine new establishment!
