    This restaurant caught fire April 4 and since then they've been operating out of a good truck. We brought our dog and we could sit outside. There are umbrellas and 3 tables. The roof of the now gutted restaurant plus umbrella provide good shade. Definitely come here for a simple but delicious meal. They've got burritos, tacos etc. Very satisfying meals for very good price. Come support their effort to reopen their restaurant/cafe.

    66 Themed retro diner. A bit too warm for me. nice hometown-style service, food came out fast and with a bit of attitude from the cook (which added color). Good diner-style burger and fries. Lots to look at but a little worn down too.

    green chili cheeseburger

    Like many others, we stopped in during our route 66 trip. It is PERFECT for people doing the trip and in that headspace because it is full on route 66 vibes with the decor and vibe. The service was great. The place only had a few other tables in at the time of our visit which was in the late afternoon, but we were tended to immediately. I ordered a grilled cheese with chilies (NM vibe, you understand) and GF the green chili cheeseburger. After ordering, our server asked, "regular fries, waffles fries, sweet potato fries?" and we both answered with our choice. The food came within a reasonable amount of time. The bread of my grilled cheese was toasted perfectly. The cheese was gooey, and the chilies went really well. I selected just regular, run of the mill fries and they were pretty good. Regarding the chili cheeseburger, GF says, "it was very heavy". Reasonable prices, prompt service, minimal waiting, great campy decor made for a great experience. They even have this thing where you can scan a qr code on the check and pay via a phone on your app, which is awesome. I can't believe the literal only place that I have done this is in a diner on route 66. Anyway, I did notice that they charged us extra for a fries. The prices were very reasonable to begin with and it isn't like it was a lot of money, but it is just the principle that if something has an extra change, you don't offer it as if it comes with the meal you are ordering. Something should have been said like, for example, "do you want fries or waffle fries for x extra?" I felt a little bit shaken down.

    One of the few places to eat that's open on Sunday evening in this town. Get in early cuz it gets loaded up with hungry customers. Best thing here is the bakery display case, so many tempting cakes. We picked up a slice of Lemon Italian Cream cake to enjoy while on the road. Wide variety of menu items from traditional American food to Mexican favorites. The chile rellenos were pretty good and I recommend getting both red and green sauces. Walkable from the better motels on the road.

    Wow! Best roadside stop, such a unique atmosphere and delicious diner food! We had cheeseburgers and waffle fries. Superb! The waitress was great, attentive and helpful. We also had to try the dessert cakes, yum!!! Do yourself a favor and stop by. The owner is wonderful! Will bookmark to stop again!

    On a Sunday, it was well worth the wait. We sat at the counter and the kitchen staff were very entertaining. The atmosphere is fun and our waitress was great even under pressure.

    The Philly cheesesteak sandwich was very good, as was my frozen coffee drink. Would be better if it was spicier. Would eat here again.

She was so chipper and welcoming! Just sweet as could be. First off the chips and salsa. I mean other worldly! How did they get them so thin and crispy. The salsa a perfect spice not too much. Fresh! Ordered the combination plate. Again was expecting over the top spice since I am in NM. The green sauce was medium spicy, almost not spicy enough for me, not very thick you could taste the broth. The red was good too! Barbacoa very flavorful. Beans and rice like my tia used to make! I am a stickler for grefried beans! Authentic! Plenty of food! Basic tables, the mural on the wall just adds to the authenticity of the food! Plus the locals come so you know it is good.

We were unfortunately correct. The food was edible and not good because it had zero flavor. The guac was gross and we couldn't eat it-I think it was mixed with mayo or something? I ordered the smothered burrito with chicken and it tasted like canned cream of mushroom soup with chicken. The flour tortilla was soggy and the green sauce had zero flavor. Very disappointing as most Mexican restaurants in NM are decent. Other family members had similar thoughts and didn't finish their meals.

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.

    For a small town this place is a vibe! Fresh food and friendly service. Always a treat when in…read moretown.
