The meatloaf and mashys were good, tasting like a home cooked meal. The meatloaf was very very good, the brown gravy was a little to thick and salty for me, but still good, I like gravy to be a little thinner. Next time trying with the white gravy. I loved the onions inside meatloaf. Waitress was welcoming and nice, definitely a place to come and have good home feeling cooked meal. Place is clean, bathroom clean. Tables get cleaned quickly. Thank you

Very tasty and well proportioned. Secondly, I'd say off the breakfast menu the biscuits and jalapeño bacon. I opted for a few eggs and a sausage patty for the review of course. For a local yokel establishment it was great for lunch and alright for breakfast. A bit high on the breakfast at $24.00. And to boot they were going to throw a glass of milk out that a patron did not want and I said I'd take it vs throwing it away lol still charged me the $4 for a glass of milk that was about to go down the drain.

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.

But we actually had very delicious 1/3 lb. hamburgers and sweet iced tea here. We arrived about 1 PM on a Wednesday so the lunch rush was starting to taper down. They have your seat yourself and when you're ready to cash out, just head up to the register and they'll take care of you. The burgers were not only delicious, but they were quite large. The pie coming out of the kitchen looked really good. Next visit, we'll split a burger and chips and save room to share a piece of pie. The service was nice and the restrooms were clean. Cute photo ops. This was a nice stop on the way to Santa Fe.

BAD Discrimination simply for an innocent complaint for a wrong order given to me…read more I ordered 2 orders of chilaquiles Mexicano. Got Eggs, beans, Rice for both. They had the order right on their end. I was thinking maybe I messed up- but no. They told me it would be comped. Weeks later- No compensation. Nothing. I paid $30 for something I could put on warmer for 5min. 4 eggs. Beans. Rice. $30. After being treated & costs for what I never ordered- They also- expected ME to drive 40 minutes from my job site to replace the order and PAY on top of it. Couldn't it be a free order some other day?? NO STARS. When I complained- I said 'aguachiles' (we all say the wrong thing sometimes) instead of chilaquiles. And the Family Del Sol said, 'Think you have the wrong place. We don't have that.' Giggled And hung up on me AGAIN. I strongly discourage any business like this. I never had a problem before. But maybe FIX - YOUR mistake?? 'No we're offering 10% off your next order...that's all we can do.' No it's not! It's eggs, beans, rice.. If that return is worth more to you than a good customer- I wonder on your sanity already. Not even common sense!! I've been in customer service & food over half my life. Ridiculous. And to be MORe than RUDE on top of it- when I had been nothing but polite. I even speak basic Spanish. I feel sorry for those that don't and go here. This family clearly has no idea how to run a business or treat people. But they continue to because it's a monopoly here- where else do you go? You want to be discriminated against- & laughed at behind your back- go here. I've heard 4 other terrible stories from people who live here. Just bringing up 'customer service in this town'... I don't even live here but have been for a long time working. These people are extremely rude & I can tell you- don't deserve business until changes in attitude are made. Yes it is definitely possible to be bitter against your own customers but I don't recommend it at all. Ironically- Don't bite the hand that feeds you..

Let's start with food. I had the Gordita plate. It was well below par. The chicken was very dry!…read more The beans and rice had no love. PLAIN! The store bought tortillas were straight garbage. Tough to chew. The salsa that came with the chips was very mild and watery. But for the $20 price tag I had to swallow it down. Service was slightly better. The server was monotone. But she did her job. If I came back to this town I would go back to this place. I hope this was just a bad afternoon as I went around 230.

Upon entering, the friendly girl at the counter was occupied, and one of the bakers and possibly owners came out to take care of me so I wouldn't have to wait! Talk about awesome customer service.

I do t want to embellish or over do it... but I'm not kidding when I say these may be the best 2 d@@n cupcakes I have ever had!!! They explode with flavor in your mouth. The strawberry was vivid, the sweet but not overly sweet, the cake and the cream were extremely creamy and moist! The Snickers cupcakes.... Jesus took the wheel on this one, lol. It's insanely good. Little sweeter than the Strawberry but so tasty! The frosting again was perfect in consistency. The flavor of caramel, Snickers, and I think a little peanut butter absolutely lights up your taste buds!!!! If you are in Amarillo...heck Texas hah....you need to make a pitstop here and try these cupcakes. It is so clear why they won Cup Cake Wars. Absolutely fantastic....and the best part, they kept their prices reasonable at $2.85!!!!!

Our stay at Hotel Eklund was unfortunately met with conflict at check-in. We were charged an…read moreunspecified late check-in fee despite Agoda listing not detailing such a fee. The receptionist referred us to the direct booking site for details, but we booked directly through Agoda, not elsewhere and was not going to review all possible listing sites for their fees on a tired night. The receptionist also looked tired, as if she just crawled out of bed, and didn't even know how to turn on their front desk computer for check-in (she had to call for help), which caused check-in process to take around 20 minutes. The room itself was cozy, vintage rustic, and clean, which was nice. The bath tissue was Scott thin single-ply and shampoo, conditioner, body wash was a generic 3-in-1 so they cheaped out on toiletries. The AC blower unit vent directly hit one of the 2 full beds and made it very cold. There should be a AC deflector to prevent direct blowing to bed. Breakfast in morning was a bit disappointing. Small selection of continental items, with a few ordering of hot items. We arrived around 7:45 am, but there was no more orange juice. I requested more for kids, but server said they're out and had a single 46 oz bottle for breakfast for all guests (another stinginess example)! Server also for forgot my son's breakfast burrito order when we ordered and he later didn't even want it after being disappointed by the breakfast. At least the quiches slices were pretty good. After breakfast, we attempted to discuss late check-in fee issue with owners, but no one was at front desk even after ringing service bell multiple times. After departing, we called back to request waiving late fee with owners Janet and Keith, but they were dismissive after 2 separate calls. They requested our Agoda confirmation information, which was forwarded via email, but they didn't respond afterward. For a local small business, they were very petty and adamant on charging this late fee. I was hoping to be treated with more respect and decency from small business owners, unlike other large corporate owned hotels, but this will be the first and last time we stay at Hotel Eklund.
