I had a cheese enchilada, refried beans & rice. Had a side of chips & salsa. Husband had Jerry's open-faced burger with red and green chili. Both meals came with sopapillas. Everything was fabulous! Such a great way to get what felt like a true picture of Gallup, NM.

Of course I found it through my fellow yelpers…read more I was looking for fry bread and this place popped up Decided to come because it has good reviews. Saw a guy eating a sopapilla outside said it was good and there were several people outside waiting so we were like ok it's gonna be good. Ordered the Sopapilia covered in red sauce because it was a popular choice. Sadly, I was disappointed. I think it would have been good by itself no sauce. Just a sopapilla by itself. In sauce was too much. The red sauce did not taste homemade. If it is I'm sorry but it just wasn't my cup of tea. The kids drummettes were fried and tasty. Other than that it was just another diner. We did meet others who said they frequent but knowing true Mexican food, it's a no go for me. Service was ok. Ambiance Diner feel. We met a guy who said there was a cafe town the road that he preferred I don't remember the name but at least I know I'm not the only one who did not enjoy it. He was also from Cali so there you go. Sorry to disappoint. Good luck finding good eats. SYOY

It is sparsely furnished and decorated, but has tons of personality. The burritos are indeed 'huge' and all their menu items are very reasonably prices. We were served by a very nice young man who said it is his mother who does the cooking. They have great in-restaurant made salsas, too!

I asked the waitress about the salsa and she brought another small plastic cup of the same thing, but there were a couple of chile seeds in it. She explained that their salsa was made in a blender and that's why it is watery. The food took a long time to get to us and it lacked flavor. Not many restaurants are open on Sundays in Gallup.
