Pleasant environment, I especially loved the decor on the walls. The food was delicious, I had a chorizo breakfast burrito stuffed with has browns and scrambled with eggs. The burrito was smothered with my choice of green chile sauce, not spicy, however it was delicious. The whole beans served were flavorful. The other plate was the huevos rancheros with red sauce that was amazingly delicious, the kind of sauce you can eat Camarones (shrimp) à la Diabla, and the spice was just right! Coffee was delicious, not too strong or watered down, just right! I would come back to this place if I wasn't just passing thru.

This became a problem as a very long train came through. We had to wait and wait and wait. That wasn't the restaurant's fault, just make sure your directions keep you on the right side of the train tracks. We were seated right away in the restaurant. Everyone was sweet and attentive. We ordered enchiladas and breakfast waffle with eggs and bacon. Just the right food for the time. We would have liked to have explored Gallup, but the road was calling. A nice respite on a long drive.

It has an old time diner feel. Nothing fancy, but the restaurant was very clean. Tables were cleaned promptly when customers left. The employees were friendly and very busy. They quickly served the customers and didn't slow down the entire time I was there. The food was delivered quickly and was piping hot. The portions are huge and fairly priced. The Navajo Taco was gigantic and can easily be shared. It had plenty of meat, beans, and other fresh ingredients. The jumbo combo came with rice and refried beans. The beans were some of the best I have ever eaten. The taco, enchilada, and tamales that came with the combo were also delicious.
