I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was at Pippo's Cafe. The restaurant is located right on Main Street with plenty of parking available on the side street. Employees greeted us upon arrival and were seated immediately. Their menu is full of breakfast and lunch choices that don't disappoint. I ordered the Navaho Taco, which was the best that I ever eaten. I highly recommend stopping and eating here. We will be back. read more

My viewpoint. As long as the place is clean, the food is decent and the servers are polite I'll give it a 4. Pippo's is a small Cafe in what was probably a resident' at one time. Has limited Counter space, several tables inside and has patio seating outside. Frequented by locals. My experience is mostly with breakfast. It is a good decent breakfast. If it's crowded the waiting time expands. They cook the orders as they're put up. Definitely a go. read more

We were referred by a local I asked on where to eat breakfast other than Denny's which looked crowded on Sunday morning. We were greeted and seated immediately and service could not have been better. Every question I asked was answered positively and substitutions were granted with a smile. Food came quickly and was hot & delicious and exactly as requested. The prices were reasonable and my experience could not have been better. I wish I was a local who could eat here more often. Owner should be proud of the staff and you will not regret eating at this old diner. Outside seating is also available. Don't judge a book by its cover. read more

We sat down around 845a and were out by 10a - 35 minutes was waiting for the food to come out which is why it gets 4 stars. Breakfast sandwich is what I expected and filling.

My husband and I were really impressed by this little café. We stopped in for breakfast and I had The Pippo's omelette and my husband had the veggie lovers omelette. I chose hashbrowns and biscuit and gravy to go with mine and he chose grits and a pancake with blueberries on top for his sides. All of these sides were included with our omelette. We also both ordered coffee, regular for him and decaf for me. We felt that everything was above average and the service was also very good. We do recommend this place and will return again the next time we are in the area. read more

While spending the night in Cortez,, the waitress at Mi Mexico recommended Pippos for breakfast...a few other contenders were closed, but she said this was a safe bet . Seated outside under a comfortable canopy, we ordered a green chili onelette, French toast, huevos ranchos, 2 breakfast sandwiches for our family of 5. Everyone was happy with the food quality- and the green chili omelette was pretty intriguing- but the only complaint, albeit from 3 teenage boys, was that they walked away ready to eat more. But coffee was good,, and service was great.Total $62 for everyone plus tip. I'd agree that Pippos was a good choice, and the fact that it was packed indoors makes me think that denizens of Cortez agree. read more

Does this place have awesome, personalization and really, really, great diner food... You Bet Ya! This is where the locals go.. .and they show up early at 7am, even on Sunday. This is finally the place that has the right portions and price, post-COVID... right? The wife's Huevos Ranchos were darn good, but even better than that was my two egg breakfast with bacon, hash browns and a pancake.

We happened upon Pippos on our road trip, we loved it so much that we will now make Pippos a destination whenever we head to Colorado. The classic American diner is a rare find. Pippos is a perfectly cozy spot with really friendly service and excellent food. Sit at the short bar and watch how it's done. Eggs cooked properly, fresh meats, breakfast breads, pads of butter, milk machine, cold fresh OJ...it's a symphony for breakfast lovers. Thanks for such a cool experience Pippos.

Also ended up adding on one of their bacon burritos, and for being a fast food establishment (and the fact this burrito was made FAST), it was actually surprisingly really good. Would definitely order it again if we returned. They moved through the drive-thru efficiently and had our order ready really quick.
