I ordered the chicken burrito with green salsa and I gotta say it was really good. Beans and rice were on point & chips and salsa were excellent! Prices were reasonable and the waitresses were very friendly. Ill definitely be coming back here when I'm in town.
Very good breakfast. Eggs cooked as ordered. Ham is excellent. Server was alone with at least 10 tables and was so patient and kind.
You'd never guess from the quality of the food that this is in a Valero station. The burgers were nice sized and delicious! The fries were crispy. Most appreciated was the crispy and fresh side salad. They have breakfast food too. Will try that next time. The place was very clean and has great prices!
Unexpected, inexpensive, and tastiest Green Chili Cheeseburger. Lots of effort put into the food, and it showed. Excellent! P.S. “Exceptionally”polite and respectful staff.
What a treasure! Lovely little restaurant. Lovely staff. And the food was really good. Had eggs, bacon, crispy hashbrowns just how I love them & the toast. We also had a Swiss burger. Would def come back when in the area.
The food was amazing. Prices were unbeatable and the staff was super friendly.
Our group of 12 was traveling through and looking for somewhere for a good lunch with several options. We posed the idea to the group with the caveat that it's inside a gas station... but we all agreed to take the plunge, and we're so glad we did! We met Cara (who *happens* to be from where we're from) and had a wonderful lunch! If you're looking for fine dining, this isn't it. If you're looking for down home cooking with plenty of options, give it a try! The food was hot, correct, fast, and enjoyable! We were in and out in a little over an hour at 12:30 on a Saturday!
This restaurant is pretty close to White Sands NP and open late. It is located in a gas station but don’t let that fool you! The food came out hot and quickly. Our party had the rustic burger, western burger and chicken dinner. Everything was delicious!! Our server was super friendly and made our table laugh the whole time we were there. We are so happy we decided to stop by!
The environment here is very comfortable, and the service is warm and attentive. I really enjoyed this place. I was a truck driver passing through and stopped by the front desk to inquire about overnight parking. The answer was: free parking! Although I didn't buy anything, they didn't mind if I borrowed their microwave to heat up some food, as my truck's transformer had tripped and the microwave wasn't working. I found everyone to be incredibly friendly and welcoming; they weren't impatient at all, even though I didn't buy anything. I highly recommend all truck drivers to experience their convenient service. Thank you!
Amazing food, old school dinner vibes, service like you are a human being. After years of overseas service coming back to this made it even better. God bless this restaurant and its people! Had the catfish and fell in love.
