    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.

    This was a diamond in the rough find. I am talking about the restaurant, Russell's Route 66 Cafe…read more I don't know what some of these reviews are talking about because the food there was fabulous! Looked like new menus with new menu items. I got a very good fish dinner, not at all what I expected from a truck stop restaurant. My only complaint would be the prices. My fish dinner was somewhere in the neighborhood of $18 for the meal, which I thought was a bit high. Annabel was our server and she was excellent at her job, very friendly and attentive. If we were in the area again, I would eat here in a heartbeat!

    The atmosphere was tired and bland. This could be a quintessential truckstop along route 66 right…read moreoff of Highway 40 but it's missing all the charm. The food was fine, I wasn't expecting much. The flies were everywhere, they landed on your food, hands, face straws, they were relentless .The dessert options were sad and lonely. It was decorated red and white with Coca-Cola memorabilia but the only served Pepsi. I went to the convenience store to get a fountain drink of Coke and of the 10 options only 2 had actual soda connected to them. We were there on a weekend and the museum was closed which seemed odd. I gave it three stars because the service was good and the shift manager was professional and friendly. The personnel were the highlight of the stop.

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.
