My friend had to be in Albuquerque and I had a 5 hour drive south but we decided we wanted to have breakfast in the historical Schafer Inn before we left even though it didn't open until 10. We arrived about 10:10 and the doors were still locked. Thankfully the very nice La Galeria next door was open. Linda Marie was so nice to give us the history of the Schafer Inn while we waited. The hotel opened 30 minutes late and the only employee (wearing both cook and waitress hats) was one the phone almost the entire time we were there. We gave her our orders. My friend ordered huevos rancheros and I asked for one egg over easy and a piece of bacon. Our drinks were water for my friend and I asked for tea. I should have been more specific since I got iced tea instead of hot tea but I figured it was my error. Eventually we're were given our breakfasts. They were inedible. I was given the basic breakfast even though I had asked for just one egg and one piece of bacon. Again, it wasn't a big deal. However the eggs were cold as well as everything that was on my plate. The hash fries did not even resemble potatoes. They were dried out and rock hard. The bacon was microwaved and was also devoid of any moisture. It was inedible! The toast was cold and the jelly was brown in color but was a name brand grape jelly. My friends breakfast was a total mess, cold and also inedible. How difficult is it to make breakfast? I have never had such a horrible meal. McDonalds would be considered gourmet next to this meal. I would rate it as minus since I ate none of mine and the waitress made it clear she didn't want to be there. It's such a shame since it's a lovely town and the building itself is a true gem. Shame on the Schafer for charging for inedible food

This is a splendid sandwich shop sits at the end of a small plaza, and the ever-changing menu means that you won't get bored ordering the same dried out turkey whatever thingy. I sadly don't remember what sandwiches we ordered (the perils of doing a Yelp review almost a month later), but suffice to say that we didn't leave a single crumb behind. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was a fun locals vibe.

The All Roads Cafe is just a few minutes north of I-40 and is worth the drive. Our crew of veterans had just finished a public reading in Tijeras and ventured a few more miles east for a celebratory lunch. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals, the efficient service, and the ambiance of a small business doing their thing well. Just click on the following YouTube link and see why we think you, too, will enjoy getting out of town and eating in someplace you probably would not have known was worth the drive. https://youtu.be/78NS1zHKXQ8?si=tCPZiZP6tGIXEisO

I spent most of the previous day cycling East from amazing Quemada on US60, so a refreshing/regenerating overnight was essential. Obviously, I needed an equally refreshing/energizing start and this cafe--now named "Evetts" (formerly Espresso)--was the absolutely the BEST place to start! Besides unique/fresh/nutritious meals, I was almost shocked and delighted to learn that affogato was available. When biketouring/travelling, this is one of the greatest morning treats I've ever had--not only plenty of needed caffeine, and (¡probably unneeded!) sugar. I enjoyed other filling dishes before continuing my Eastern direction on US60 to SocorroNM. I didn't cycle away immediately--Magdalena is such an attractive/"unknown/undiscovered" community in which the history lives on with the structures restored/repurposed! The abandoned tracks have a great roadbed waiting for more full development/hiking-biking trail for use by locals and long-distance enthusiasts alike. ¡This is such a tremendous community, and I look forward to returning--I'll plan to stay at least TWO nights for a full experience! It definitely has my coveted "iWheel of Approval!" ¡Highly recommended'

All the orders went straight from the grill into Styrofoam containers that promptly melted. It was a mess! The young woman who took the order was inconsiderate. It seems no one cared at all. There were several others waiting on orders and it was not busy at all. So sad to see a good place to eat going downhill because of uncaring staff.
