We took my family here for lunch and I was not disappointed, not in the least! The food was just as amazing as I remembered. I had to get an extra order of those soft, fluffy sopapillas to take with me, since it's impossible to find a restaurant in California that serves them. The waitstaff was attentive and we received everything quickly. If you're in the mood for some incredible and authentic New Mexican cuisine, you MUST try Pete's-you won't regret it!!

There were 7 of us and even our pickiest eater was happy. The food was delicious! It is fresh products and homemade. Not food and worth waiting for, although it didn't take long either. The portions were generous, the prices were fair, the service was great, and there were many regular customers. Our entire group highly recommends Pete's Cafe. My aunt said to note thay we are now "valued customers" and we will be returning when in the area.

My son and hubby had the filet mignon, I had the ribeye and my daughter had the steak fajitas. All had great flavor and cooked to perfection! I had the loaded baked potato and salad sides and the boys had loaded potato and cole slaw. The potatoes were well cooked and the slaw was great. We also started with mozzarella sticks and a blooming onion. The onion was hand made from a fresh onion, hand cut and lightly seasoned and breaded. It was delicious by itself and with ranch. The mozzarella sticks were typical cheese sticks. We had a nice time and found a new favorite steak house. We enjoy supporting local businesses! Thank you!

I also tried to pick it up via the drive thru but no one was there, I walked in and had to interrupt the owners family dinner to get my food. That was a bit weird. That being said the one one positive was the veggies, they were delicious. I hope it's better next time I may try it again someday and pray the mashed potatoes are better. Also the restaurants ambience is nice.

I ordered the shredded beef enchiladas with a fried egg on top, garnished with tomatoes, onions, lettuce and sour cream. I'm from California, and don't get to have sopapillas at home-unless I make them-so I of course had to order half a dozen to go. They were nice enough to give me a portion cup of honey to go with them. They have wonderful red chile sauce on their enchiladas. So good in fact, that my mouth is watering as I write this review. My aunt had the chile rellenos ala carte, and she commented on how good it was and how they stuffed it with quite a bit of melty and gooey cheese. I definitely want to eat here again before I head back to California! I miss all of the good food here in New Mexico that I devoured as a child. Montano's really hit the spot!

We sat down and we had the friendliest waitress ever. Really good service, checked on us constantly. The queso came out and it's really just nacho cheese from the can, I know because I have some at home lol. My hamburger was a little small even after adding a second patty for a total of $18. It was good but not $18 good. And they forgot my bacon. It wasn't til I was driving home looking at some pictures when I realized I paid for a bacon burger! Aye ya yi. My kids CFS came out and it looked great until I looked closer and realized it was mashed potato flakes from a box, I'm 100 sure of it and the gravy was turkey gravy. They also forgot her toast. I think they buy all this generic stuff and try to sell it as restaurant grade food but it's not fooling me. I can tell the difference easily. $40 for the burger, CFS and chips con queso haha. I do NOT recommend this place. Sorry I wanted to like it but nope...btw I would've only left one star if it wasn't for the great service by the young lady who told us she's only been there 3 days. She did a great job

Most food trucks are your basic taco/burrito places but this one has a sandwich/barbecue menu. I had the Southwest Ruben, one of the best I've had. The wife had the grilled cheese, also well done! Both came with home made tortilla chips and queso. Sounded odd thinking they should have been offered with potato chips or fries but the tortilla chips were hot, just out of the fryer and awesome. The special was Armadillo eggs, a kind of a jalapeño popper on steroids. wrapped in sausage and bacon then smoked on site. They were spectacular!! The folks running the place are super friendly, they have the whole family there. The young daughter is a natural with handling customers. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.
