Just real comfort food at a reasonable price. I got the special BBQ burger and my daughter got the special Philly cheesesteak. Both were good, flavorful and simple. Fries were fresh cut. It's clear that they make everything in house. Even the veggies were crisp! The server was nice and fast. The server checked in on us often no matter how busy it got. 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.

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.

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!

The atmosphere has that old-school diner vibe -- simple, comfortable, and very hometown. The food was solid and portions were generous. You're not going there for fancy plating -- you're going for hearty, stick-to-your-ribs meals that hit the spot. We had a hearty breakfast in pictures above - Service was friendly and familiar, which is what you expect in a small-town staple. Like any busy local diner, timing can vary depending on the rush, but overall it's a dependable stop if you're in Trinidad and looking for a no-frills meal with a local feel. Would definitely stop in again.

I think the bad reviews here were dramatic because we had a good experience.

My daughter was skeptical but I Yelped a review and decided to make this stop. As it turned out, friendly service and a decent meal for a fair price in today's inflated economy. We were both happy with the decision to try it. We both had the green chile cheese burger and they were good, filling and very satisfying.

The food was fantastic, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere has a really cool, welcoming vibe. On our first visit, we ate inside and it was the perfect place to relax, recharge, and enjoy a great meal before getting back on the road. On our return trip, we ordered online for pickup, and the process was incredibly easy and convenient. The food was ready when promised and was just as good as our first visit. My daughter isn't usually a big burger fan, but she absolutely loved their smash burger. I tried two different egg sandwiches on our visits, and both were outstanding. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Almack's has officially become a regular stop for our family whenever we're traveling through Colorado. If you're passing through Trinidad, do yourself a favor and stop in--you won't regret it!

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.
