“ We got there just as the evening dinner rush hit. The waitress was slammed she did a great job getting our order, and the green chili was good. I had a stuffed Sopapilla, and my wife had the Indian taco. Tasty! ”
“ Very popular restaurant in Belen. My first time here. Excellent breakfast and lunch menu choices. Felt very down home and community oriented. Large portions and yummy sopapillas. Server was friendly. You have to drive a few minutes off the interstate to Main Street, which is very simple. Ample parking. ”
“ My husband and I visited this restaurant on the recommendation of a friend, and we're very glad we did! We arrived at the height of the lunch hour, but we only waited a couple of minutes to get a table in the cozy, casual dining room. We both ordered the chicken fried steak with 2 eggs, potatoes (hashbrowns or papitas), and bread (toast, tortilla, or sopaipilla), and it was excellent. The chicken fried steak was crispy on the outside and tender inside, and it was covered in a well-seasoned cream gravy. My husband's hash browns were buttery and pleasantly crunchy, and my papitas were hot and fresh. Eggs were cooked exactly as we'd requested. We both asked for green chile, and it was flavorful and just spicy enough to cut through the creaminess of the gravy and the richness of the egg yolk. My husband ordered the tortilla, which he used to wipe his plate afterward, but they still gave us two sopaipillas (because who wants to eat a sopaipilla alone?). Their sopaipillas were light, freshly-made, and served with honey, and they were the perfect way to end our meal. If you pay with cash, you'll avoid paying a small credit card convenience fee. Waitresses are friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back, and we look forward to checking out their other location in Los Lunas! ”
“ My serve Casey was very efficient and polite, the atmosphere was amazing! My burger and fries were top shelf, thanks to the cook Vinny Thank you! I'll be back for sure. ”
“ Good gravy. Lots of places don't have good gravy. This place does and they cook hashbrowns cooked! Not 1/2 way done! ”
