    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.

    Excellent food in Willcox near the highway. We enjoyed a tasty lunch - burger, pulled pork, French…read moredip sandwich - and it was all delicious and served hot. The kitchen was very busy on a Sunday midday and it took over 45 minutes to get our food. It was worth the wait. This looks like a ramshackle hole in the wall from the outside but it's a clean, simple family place for some good food . Much better than the fancy winery restaurant we visited for dinner the previous night.

    After a very long day of hiking the Chiricuahua's, my family and worked up quite the appetite and…read morewe were wanting something other than fast food, and then we found this place on Yelp and it looked and sounded so good just reading online so we decided to stop here before heading home to Tucson, and I am so glad we did. The place was pretty busy, every table pretty much has guests so we had to wait but the wait honestly was a couple of minutes. The staff had their hands full but you would never know it - they were super kind and fast with their service. It's a decent size restaurant with indoor seating and a patio and it was nice and clean. I was craving a nice cold salad and their salad bar hit the spot! everything was crisp, cold and fresh and the blue cheese was so good. I especially loved the tea and the sweet tea they both were super refreshing and even the water tasted so good. They serve the drinks in giant mason jars which I loved. Do not skip the Brussel sprouts or the green beans! We had steak, chicken fried steak, a burger and they even had my daughter's favorite, spaghetti, and it all was a hit for us. I was enjoying it so much that I forgot to take pictures of it! This place has me wanting to take the drive from Tucson to Willcox just to enjoy another meal!
