    a picnic table in front of a purple onion cafe
    Bao H.

    Uber quaint spot for a quick bite at historic Mogollon, NM. Everything seems to be done by order, so it'll take a bit of time to get your food. For our order, we started with their Hatch Chili Burger. The patty and bun ratio was spot on and cooked to perfection! The hatch chili was moderate, and I'd expected more a punch to my palates. Needless to say, everyone's spice level is subjective. My buddy's fries look freshly cut and done more on the softer side not the crunchy fried texture if you wanted that. Service overall was good, but I would say the location and the ambiance definitely has me sold! Enjoy!

    The Purple Onion is a small cafe in the even smaller old mining town of Mogollon. The cafe is only open seasonally on weekends from 9-5 (plus holidays), which is pretty much the whole town's schedule. Great BLT on a bun with purple slaw. Really nice lunch. Seating is almost exclusively outside - there are tables scattered about the grounds, including some inside an open shed affair, which is cool. Order at the counter, give your name, take a seat somewhere and they'll shout out your name when the food's up. Highly recommended, if you can get to it.

    If you can brave winding narrow mountain roads with sheer cliff drops on one side you will be richly rewarded. The pie is good, the green chilli burgers are fantastic, the unique ultra-purple slaw is dee-lish, and the surrounding town is a mysterious delight. Picture a Western ghost town rehabbed abit and crowded in a tiny valley straddling a deep central trench.

    Great Chile Cheeseburger! Fantastic pies. Love the place. Very scenic drive, turn east just north of Glenwood on Hwy 180.

    Best Restaurant in the Gila! It sometimes gets overcrowded with visitors from Datil.
