I asked the waitress which was smaller the sopaipilla or the breakfast burrito? She said the sopaipilla. Holy moly. It was stuffed with thick bacon, hash browns, eggs and smothered in red and green salsa (they call it Christmas salsa). I ended up opening it and eating the inside because it was seriously enough for 2 people. Hubs had the Eye Opener. Two eggs, Christmas salsa, hash browns and bean, served with sopaipilla. He barely finished. The coffee was so good! Best place for breakfast in Gallup.

If your not into spice, let them know and they might help guide you to a less spicy dish. Otherwise, feel the burn. It's about as much spice as I like. The ground beef is spicy and a bit dry. I really like the chile relleno.

It was delish. Our only complaint was the constant stream of peddler asking if we wanted to buy stuff. It was annoying. We came to eat and chat, not shop. Perhaps have them set up outside. Otherwise the food and service were good.

THIS IS THE BREAKFAST SPOT! Just shut up and eat here…read more When my family walked in we were the only white people, which I took as a sign we were in the right place, this is where locals eat. The portions are huge, the food is tasty, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and if all else fails, there's a list of table manners painted on the wall. It's kid-friendly too. A free refill on hot chocolate? Say less! I'm not sure when I'll be back in Gallup, but when I am, I will absolutely be coming back for breakfast.

I have been in the area for over a week now and I have eaten here twice. My niece brought me here…read moreand I have to say it's really a great place. First visit I had the bbq ribs with a baked potato and it came with a side of what looked like an attempt at refried beans with a squirt of bbq sauce in it. It was pretty good. Today we went in because their burgers look amazing. As you walk in they're cooking everything right there to your left as you go in. You order your food off the menu before you sit down and they bring it to you. As well as your drink order. One problem right of the bat is the plexiglass they have in front of the person talking your order. Preventing them from hearing anything. They're struggling to hear what people are saying. Today I ordered onion rings with my burger and I got French fries instead. The guy just didn't hear what I said. Luckily I didn't get charged for it. I ordered the Papa Burger with pepper jack cheese and bacon. That was one hell of a burger. The fixins are on a cart as you go to your seat. Where you can add what you want to your burger. The only gripe I think I can say about this place is that you have to ask for napkins. Both times I've been in I've had to ask. As well as silverware. But the staff is very friendly and helpful. So it's not a deal breaker. I wish I lived closer because I would eat here a few times a week. I'd love to try their breakfast. But overall this place is pretty awesome. Definitely worth a try.

The fries were good but the meat on the sandwich was overcooked and super chewy but dry. My sidekick had the fish and fries and some kind of soup. The fish pieces were a generous portion with light breading. It was a quick stop and the staff was friendly so that was a bright spot. The decor had that fun old school diner/cafe vibe one would expect out on The Mother Road.

It has an old time diner feel. Nothing fancy, but the restaurant was very clean. Tables were cleaned promptly when customers left. The employees were friendly and very busy. They quickly served the customers and didn't slow down the entire time I was there. The food was delivered quickly and was piping hot. The portions are huge and fairly priced. The Navajo Taco was gigantic and can easily be shared. It had plenty of meat, beans, and other fresh ingredients. The jumbo combo came with rice and refried beans. The beans were some of the best I have ever eaten. The taco, enchilada, and tamales that came with the combo were also delicious.

Got the mexi burger that looked great when it came out of the kitchen but was just ok. Lacked any kind of seasoning. The fries however really killed the dish. Hardly cooked, soggy and covered in grease. Common theme again no seasoning. The Mexican dishes coming out though looked good so maybe I ordered the wrong thing. I'll probably explore other spots before returning here.
