Every time I visit Tucumcari, I eat at Dells, which is very good. But this time I'm trying…read moresomething different. I decided to try La Cita. I'm glad I did! I visited on a Monday evening, around 5pm. That's usually the time us old folks eat. I had no issue getting a table. Promptly seated, I ordered a beer and my dinner. The menu is a good mix, something for everyone. I ordered the Chili Rellenos. Of course I ordered that. Hey, when in Rome..... My meal was served quick and hot. Waiting a minute to cool was definitely in the cards. No problem, I had my beer, salsa and chips to occupy me while the steam settled. After a bit, I dug in. First fork was the rice. Oh, was that rice ever good! The only problem was that there wasn't enough. I suggest that you order a side of that glorious grain. Fantastic! The refried beans, well, were ok, but just ok. The Hatch greenies, as you'd expect, were outstanding and very flavorful. I ordered them Christmas style, with green and red sauce. Both of those condiments were tasty, but of the two, the green sauce stood out. Boy did it ever. I'll be dreaming of that sauce later tonight. Hopefully my girlfriend doesn't pop into the picture.....OR, maybe she should! LoL, now that would be a dream! Don't worry about parking, as there is more than ample. You can park in the front, the back, either side, and if you're driving a big rig, pulling a trailer, or driving a tank, they've got you covered. Across the street is special parking for those vehicles. More parking outside than tables inside. Pay La Cita a visit for a romantic dinner, or as I did, by yourself....my dream trend may have helped with that. Hey, I may be old, but certainly not dead! Quick Tip: I parked in the back, and when leaving, I took the dirt alley. It was a fun adventure. I'd suggest that you do it during daylight hours though. You never know who you'll run into, or for that matter, over! Let's hope it isn't Skinny Pete or Badger.

My girlfriend and I were very excited to try this place during our short stay in Tucumcari in hopes…read moreof some good, authentic Mexican food. Based off of the other Yelp reviews, I had high hopes, but unfortunately, we were let down by this place. We ordered online and ordered multiple different dishes in order to try them out. Here are the dishes that I got: Brisket Burrito: The meat was dried out and tasted several days old and reheated. The burrito also didn't seem to have the pan fried potatoes that were supposed to be in it. Tacos al Carbon: From the first bite I knew I wasn't going to eat these; the steak tasted weird, with a weird texture, and seemed old. Enchilladas: I got them with beef & green sauce; the beef had a decent flavor and texture. Stuffed Sopapilla: The sopapilla itself had a good comfort food type of taste and texture. I got it with beef & green sauce. The beef had a decent flavor and texture. As for the sides--the Mexican rice just tasted like salt, and the beans were bland and flavorless. If you're looking for fresh, yummy Mexican food--don't waste your money on this place. I have no idea how it has so many good Yelp reviews.

Only two staff working which I know Taco Bell's drive thru is a beast on most days. Tonight however was chill. The family and I wanted something quick and not too heavy. Nacho Bell Grandes and a one 5 layer burrito minus the sour cream. Ehhh.. The hot toppings on the Nachos appeared slopped on with no regards to presentation. It was quick I will give you that but I don't think quick over rules food preparation and presentation. In my younger years, I remember working at Taco Bell and our manager was really strict about presentation saying to the cooks, "If you wouldn't eat it that way don't serve it that way." These were my thoughts but the items were freshly made. I ran in to the establishment to grab an order I forgot through drive thru and observing the staff at drive thru taking orders (who will also take my order) she is literally stepping over trash. Like trash from the plastic cup sleeves and lids dropped, napkins, and straws whatever else was on the floor it looked like they got slammed and couldn't keep up. I highly recommend at a certain time they should shut the lobby so that they'll have time to properly prepare food and also clean. Allow the staff to concentrated on the drive thru and they can keep the backend tidy after all lobby the customers can see the ground in the back from the front counter....which isn't appealing. That is a staffing complaint not a particular staff problem.

Our first thought was that there was a power outage, so we probably should cancel the order. We decided to try our luck. They greeted us at the drive thru and told us that we'd need to come back in about 6 minutes because their system for online orders is slow. We drove around, parked, and went in the restaurant to wait. 10 minutes later we received our food. Strangely , the burritos were cold, but everything else was good. I have a feeling the young staff turns the lights and signs off to appear closed in a nefarious effort to dissuade customers. Why? As soon as we received our food the employees disappeared, not to be seen again.

I called to speak to the manager today and she says that I'm badgering her because I'm gonna write a bad review I explained to her because she said she's been working for this place for six years and six years I've been a repetitive customer but this time I'm not gonna be a customer anymore and I was gonna write a review in which she was getting upset and saying that I'm badgering her about the experience that I had because I waited two days in terms of the time when I ordered it at 7:38 PM. Why would I want to complain to someone when the manager wasn't there? The manager of this Pizza Hut is offended because you know that you guys are skipping out on people's orders and it's not worth the experience or expense. There is no ambience you don't wanna sit there and have your food. They don't even want you to even be there let alone carry out.. I've only taken my food out because why it's not inviting it looks dead and boring, and it doesn't look clean to sit down. Take it for my experience they need to lose some money and take a hit to know that what they're doing is wrong when they're cheating the customer of product and ingredients of their pizza.
