The sandwich, a BLT with Hickory Smoked Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato on Foccacia with Mayo was perfect, and the soup was comforting and with the right amount of seasoning. I had a Cranberry Lemonade to drink which was also very good and refreshing. Service was super nice and prompt, although we wanted to hang out for awhile and there was no rush. I can't wait to go back and it is definitely on the to-do list on my next visit. I recommend eating here, the food is absolutely great!

Today my 2 youngest kids and I made a point of going in. We got there some time between 12:30 and 1pm. My daughter had her heart set on getting an horchata but by this time they had already run out. She got a Pastel de Elote instead. She said it was sweeter than she expected and very filling and enjoyed it. My son ordered a breakfast burrito with eggs, beans, potatoes, and cheese. Declined the chorizo as he doesn't really eat chile yet. it was enormous and he said it was delicious after he was somehow able to devour the entire thing. It came with a cup of salsa, which he didn't use but I'm not surprised. I ordered a large menudo and even though we got it packed to go, I was surprised at how big the serving was. It also has posole in it, which is how I prefer it. It came with the little packets of oregano and crushed red peppers and also a side of diced white onions. Pretty good menudo, I did add a little bit more salt at home. It came with a torta bun (or bolillo), sliced in half and toasted. That was perfect for soaking up the juices. I definitely want to go back and the birria, the vampiros, and the birria with maruchan for sure! The grocery store is conveniently located within walking distance from my house. Not the best prices, but you will find some things here that you can't find in many other places. We picked up some of the Mexican Doritos, some of the Mexican candies, and other snacks while we were here. At the time they had a lot of the Takis on sale for 99¢. They also carry lots of kitchenware and gift items. If you smoke, they carry rolling papers, cones, and those types of items too. The staff is super friendly. Most of them are primarily Spanish speakers so we struggled a little to communicate, but it has no negative impact on my experience whatsoever. Will definitely visit more often.

Whether you want a ristra, chile powder, dried chiles, dried corn for posole, and even chicos, they'll fix you up. Of course, they roast chiles as well.

I think What used to be a charming and warm country store is now a LIQUOR STORE with some overpriced garbage food and overpriced (by at least a dollar) gas. You HAVE to be desperate to stop here.

By the time I saw this place, I was willing to pay more. I've been here maybe 3 times, and always when I'm leaving Colorado and heading towards Santa Fe, hence they are the proverbial oasis in the desert. The store itself is fairly clean and large with a lot of coolers. Their selection of snacks is varied, they have plenty of ice and drinks, you will even find some local made spices, chiles, wines and a few knick knacks. Everything can be found cheaper somewhere else, it's just a matter of how far you want to drive. If you're looking at basic road trip snacks, so you spent an extra $1, who cares? For multiple items that could be a different story. Their single unisex restroom is kind of dirty and I always fear the day it will be out of order! Luckily that hasn't happened yet, but there is always a line. I do think they could be better about the maintenance though. The lot leaves enough room for parking and using the gas pumps without getting tangled. The gas prices were higher than we had been seeing on our trip, but not gouging higher. If they were anywhere else, the prices and lines would be 3 stars. But see above, I'm always relieved to see them when we take this route.

However, this time the cashier forgot our chips/salsa. As we were sitting down, I asked the busboy if he could bring us our chips/salsa. He said they don't come with the drinks.

Then, the manager came out and asked if everything was ok, but I was hungry and just wanted to eat our quesadillas before they got cold so I told her everything was ok. We didn't get refills on our water nor were our dirty plates picked up. The quesadillas were tasty but the service was lousy. Needless to say I didn't leave a good tip.
