Oh my goodness! I wish we could give her six stars. We have been searching for a good breakfast…read moreburrito since we moved to Las Vegas NM in May 2026. We've tried just about every place, and really, only one other place besides Olivia's had a breakfast burrito I would go back for. However, it was so expensive I can't afford to go back. In addition to having really friendly and accommodating staff, Olivia's has the perfect breakfast burrito. My husband and I are vegetarian, the only animal products we eat are eggs and sometimes cheese. We buy Olivia's egg and cheese burritos and instead of the hashbrowns that everyone in New Mexico uses for their breakfast burritos I request papitas (which for those of you who don't do Tex-Mex or New Mexican food, papitas are sliced or diced fried potatoes). The ratio between egg and cheese is absolutely perfect and the papitas are golden brown, slightly greasy as good fried potatoes should be, and cooked through, with just a hint of a bite. One of our really strong dislikes of the other burritos we have tried are the undercooked hashbrowns that everyone uses here. We come from Tex-Mex but we're not afraid of making changes. However undercooked potatoes is one of the changes we just don't want to deal with. Olivia does not make us want to cling to the old ways because there's enough deliciousness in one of her burritos to give up all previous burritos from all previous lives. They're also a really decent size. For some reason many of the places that serve burritos in Las Vegas NM have decided that if they can't make a good burritos they'll make a giant one. They are basically two meals wrapped in a huge flower tortilla, and cost accordingly. With Olivia you get a nice handful but it's something that you can eat at breakfast and not feel like you're going to sleep the rest of the day. The price is fair, high enough to ensure adequate filling but not so expensive you're using half your weekly food budget to eat one. The café is very cute inside with life sized cutouts of James Dean and Marilyn Monroe, some neon and a cozy breakfast diner feel. They also have a great menu that is not just breakfast. They're open very early they close at three and in between those hours you should really get over there and treat yourself because Olivia's is the best we've come across since we've been in New Mexico!

I will say that the tortillas were homemade and amazing. The green chili was spicy, but was really kind of blah. The waitress was very friendly and the service was quick. Maybe I just chose poorly from the menu (everything I had was centered around the green chili). My son had the chicken strip basket with fries and he loved the fries and said that the chicken was yummy. The coffee also wasn't anything to write home about. Feels like an old diner vibe and seems to be generally clean. Liked it, didn't love it. Next time I'm in Las Vegas I will try something different, not because it's bad but because there are probably better places.
