I have visited The Pit Stop several times and I had always had great service. On May 5, I went with a friend to have lunch. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros that comes with a side refried beans and a flour tortilla. To drink, I ordered coffee. There were two servers that day. Ours was the younger lady, who was not really engaged with the clientele except with some guy eating at the counter. When she delivered our food, she never offered to refill my friend's iced tea or my coffee. For almost 5 minutes I tried to get her attention without success. I got up to the counter where she continued chatting with the guy eating at the counter. I mentioned that I wanted more coffee, I was told that they had ran out and if I wanted decaf. She shook the thermos and she said that she still had some coffee left. I also told her that on the menu my meal included a tortilla. She never apologized for the lousy service. Very disappointing. read more

This was our first time here, and my husband and I really enjoyed it. The place has a fun retro vibe, and the 80s music made it even better! The servers were amazing. They were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They made us feel right at home. The food was delicious. I had breakfast, and I loved that they serve it all day on weekends. We also tried the chips and salsa, and the salsa was so good! Everything we saw on the menu looked tasty, and we're excited to come back and try more. If you're looking for a fun, retro-style place with great food and service, I definitely recommend it. We'll be back for sure! read more

Small, eclectic interior with great music playing (not loud, could converse easily) and frequent coffee fills! And the waitress picked the coffee cup up by the handle, NOT the cup lip surface! I ordered the Arnie's Burrito Special that comes with two eggs, potatoes and red or green salsa (home made). I got both on the side and liked each of them. I didn't eat the fried potatoes and they DID have real butter pats! I would recommend them and come here again if I'm in town! read more

A post popped up while driving through, so we decided to stop! I love that the parking lot is huge for those who have rvs or big trucks!!! That's a plus for us travelers! The place looks like it's been here for a long time and I love that! When you come in, you see so many things!!! What do I mean? Things that the owner has collected throughout the years!! And yes that's a LOVE for me because I am a collector too. The customer service was great! I was greeted right away by the 2 young ladies at the register. I came in 6 min before breakfast ended!!! And they still took my order for breakfast, other places will BS their way out of it!! I ordered the enchiladas because they didn't have chilaquiles, I wish they did have some but she recommended the enchiladas so I ordered the green salsa with stew beef and also a potato,egg and chorizo burrito and I did ask if tortilla chips as big and she said yup! So that's awesome for my husband lol Ambiance was chill, relaxed and vintage dinner vibes!! Background music which is just at a perfect volume. The coffee was bland and I wish it was stronger and darker, let's try the food!!! The burrito tasted homemade! Home cook so that was great!!! The enchiladas looked different from an enchilada but they were savory! Spicy which I LOVE!! They did forget my sour cream oh nooo but ok I can still eat lol Super cheesy LOADED!!! And lots of stew beef!! Yummmm The way they make enchiladas is to layer the tortilla and in between each one they add the cheese, chunky green sauce and beef! I did enjoy every bite!! Huge portion so will have some left for later on the road!!! The food was good! Texmex and can't complain read more

Better come & get'cha some. Best biscuits & sausage gravy in town. Just like back home in KY. Lovely service as well. read more

Nice neighborhood diner! If we lived closer, we'd go often! Good ol comfort food amid kitsch.

Stopped by on a weekday afternoon. Don't let the location discourage you. Both the Mexican and American food was authentic, no prepackaged here. It was clean and a destination for those who like to relax and reminisce while studying the decor. read more

A cafe off the side of the road with a lot of charm to it. Standard American and Mexican offerings for Breakfast and Lunch with pretty competitive prices. Nothing extraordinary, but pretty good. read more

We found this small out of the way, local's breakfast place while passing through Las Cruces, NM and boy are we glad we did! The restaurant is not much to look at from the outside but don't let appearances fool you. The two dishes we tried (Eggs Rancheros and the New Mexican Omelette with the green chile) were outstanding. Our server was very friendly and attentive and kept my coffee topped off the entire time. While we were there a parade of obvious regulars passed through the restaurant. All were friendly with the owner and the waitress and exchanged stories and banter. This made the experience all that much more "genuine." And even though we were obviously not regulars, we were made to feel right at home. This is THE place for breakfast in Las Cruces. read more

Simple asked for ketchup on to go order. Didn't get any ketchup on fries. Nor was there any on burger. Fries were very few and cold. Second time in fifteen days. Wasn't happy with food or service. Used to visit frequently. Very disappointed. Will not return. Burger all I could taste was mustard. Even as I write review. read more

Our food was delicious, fresh,and hot. The waitresses were friendly and service excellent! Fast service. We will definitely be back.

Combination plate is totally awesome!!! I go by The Pit Stop whenever I get the chance...

This is an old school diner with cheap prices, big portions, stuff on the walls, and surly-but-friendly service. If this is what you are looking for, it's probably the best representation of this in the area! A bonus is, because you're in NM, classic diner fare often has a New Mexico twist/spin on it. Probably one of my favorite diners maybe ever! read more

This restaurant is a little gym. The food is very tasty, need salt but very tasty. The green chili is delicious little spicy, and the red chili was the stand out for me. Had a lot of flavor. My husband had hand made patties of sausage with egg and hashbrowns with pancakes. I had a red and green chili burrito with two eggs on top, call the Arnies special. The price was fair for the food we received. It was a decent value and the service was a plus really our waitress was wonderful cute polite, knowledgeable everything you want a waitress to be the only thing I'd skip on is the coffee very weak but hey..... it's also conveniently located right off the 10 freeway so it's perfect for us. Definitely will come back. The interior decor is interesting as well. It's fun and lots of parking. read more

Food was on point. The green chile was pretty hot, possibly could've used a little more salt, but The burrito my husband got had a stew meat in it that was incredible! Both dishes were pretty unique actually, and the cafe itself is very unique but a slight "hole in the wall". I'd definitely go back again! my hats off to the chef! read more

Very comfortable and cozy atmosphere feels quite welcoming. Service is great, but the food is amazing, THIS is breakfast.

When you think hole in the wall breakfast joint, this is it. Real small, no fancy plates, but great food. I had the huevos rancheros with green chili. The chili was a nice medium heat that didn't overpower your mouth. The side of beans was a nice contrast and a flour tortilla to sop up all that great liquid on your plate. Nothing fancy here but worth the stop. read more

I absolutely love the service and the food here! Always a great meal at a fabulous price!

The Pit Stop 292 Cafe - Omelette Pancake Stack - American Near Me - Las Cruces, New Mexico

Are you traveling on I-10 and looking for a quick on/off place to grab breakfast or lunch? Go here. Huge parking lot if you have a camper. This place is not open 24 hours, it's not even open for dinner. But for our weekend breakfast it's a perfect spot for some really good food. There's old rock music banging at 8am and a waitress that never lets your coffee cup get below half. Tons of fun stuff to look at and read on the walls. And if you are lucky on the weekend, the parking lot will be filled with classic cars! Their biscuits and gravy is enough for 2 people. Go ahead and spend the extra $1 for the crumbled sausage in the gravy. Their pancakes are an inch thick and as big as your head! It's a diner. It's a diner that should have been the inspiration for one in the Pixar film cars or "American Graffiti". Pop in and eat. You don't need super fancy to be super happy. read more

The food is still great, I just wanted to update the review I left. Few years ago. The booths and counter both have new seating and look great. Service is still good too, and they don't even make you feel bad when your attempt at the Mexican food names is indiscernible. Make sure you request your chips and salsa. The first serving is free, and super tasty (spicy too). read more

After reading the reviews I thought this might be a great out of the way spot. Well the cokes, chips and rice were good but the rest was not good. In fact we said we probably shouldn't ate it since I have no idea what the meat was in my taco, it had a pale grey look about it. My husband got the combo plate and he is not picky but left more than half on his plate. Service was ok she was nice. I would highly suggest not stopping it is truly the pits!!! read more
