    a windmill, a sign, and posters on a wall

    It's one of the few places to get a bite near Percha Dam State Park and the hours vary by day of the week (and, perhaps, depending on the season). We were fortunate to find the Arrey Cafe open on a Friday evening and it was busy! We were immediately served chips and salsa. They were out of fried chicken so we opted for the green chile cheeseburgers (1/4 or 1/2 pound), which came with fries. Excellent burger! To quench our parched throats, we had enormous arnold palmers (1/2 iced tea, 1/2 lemonade). Several different fresh pies-by-the-slice were available for dessert (I had apple and it was delicious). The prices are reasonable and the wait staff was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended!

    Chicken fried steak with green chile instead of gravy (because in NM it's acceptable to put green chile on everything)

    We love this place for breakfast on the weekends. I especially like it, as the full menu is available all day - that means I don't have to eat eggs for breakfast :) Lots of New Mexican specialties (I'm a fan of the relleno and pinto beans), menudo on weekends and steaks on Friday night. It's out in the small town of Arrey, but worth the drive or a great pit stop if driving thru. Cash only (there is an atm next door at the market).

    What the burrito should look like.

    Salsa & Chips waiting for us at the table and all we had to do was squirt the salsa from the catsup type containers into a bowl. 4 Stars The 6 six of us ordered a variety of food from the menu: Chicken Fried Steak w/ Fries (two orders) 3 Stars Burger & Fries 3 Stars Combination Burrito 1 Star (nothing like the picture that caused her to order it. Bland unseasoned ground beef and beans.) Chile Relleno Plate 4 Stars Tamale Plate 4 Stars Fish n Chips 4 Stars They also gave us a free slice of german chocolate cake for dessert! 5 Stars. We all enjoyed our meals, except for the Burrito. Either get rid of the photo or make the burrito look like it and season a little better. Service was good. Old school building. I recommend.

    Huevos Rancheros with Christmas. This also comes with toast or tortillas.

    Great local cafe for a good burrito and Agustin Fresca.. Generous portions and red and green Chile makes a perfect combination.

    I was craving a chopped steak smothered with mushroom and onion gravy mashed potatoes and some…read moregreen beans and I called several places and looked in YELP to see if any had something like that but no one really did, so I was in the north central El Paso so I decided to go up Dyer and go to the New Clock Diner and maybe get a steak and potatoes etc instead but when I walked in the door their new Dinner combo specials greeted me at the door and of course a ground round steak with brown gravy and mushrooms and onions was o e of the choices! With mashed potatoes and veggie medley, and soup and iced tea for just $12.95! Well JACKPOT! I ordered and this soup came first it was a chickeny flavored tomato broth with tortilla strips and melty white cheese. The broth was WAAAAY to salty. But I liked the concept. It had no veggies or any meaning it. So I ate out the chips and cheese and I would have liked to enjoy that broth but it was so so salty I just could not. When my plate came it was a nice spiced grilled ground round Pattie covered in hot brown gravy with thin sliced onions and small thin sliced fresh mushrooms. Homemade real mashed potatoes, and veggies mix of corn, carrots, peas, and green beans. If it had a dinner roll, it would have been dinner at my house growing up any night of the week. It was so good, the veggies could have used some butter on them. The gravy was great on the meat and potatoes. Sorry I didn't get a pic of that plate, but I was so hungry I just dug in and by the time I thought of a pic, it was half way gone. The clock inside isn't winning any beauty contests. It's still same as it's always been. I think maybe I'd set all the clocks to the correct time or the correct time somewhere and make sure they all worked if possible or had good batteries. Be great if the coco clocks, if any, went off every hour. Bring some more character to the old place, and favorite of many. Come get dinner some after noon or late afternoon. It's a great deal... there were only 2-3 other tables when I got there and when I left no one was there . So you can definitely come get a good cup of Joe and some good food in the afternoon, it's not just for breakfast, which it IS FAMOUS FOR.

    We were seated right away in a previously closed section of this northeast El Paso breakfast cafe…read more That's not to say you can't get a variety of menu items but to me it's where you go for breakfast. As we're close to the Army base some of the items have received GI nicknames as was the case with biscuits and gravy (SOS on the menu!). The coffee refills were plentiful and I supplemented my "SOS" with eggs over easy and hash browns. My wife had the breakfast burrito. She had plenty to take home.

    Looks like what I've been looking for! Traditional American Style Diner!…read more Service was pretty good. No complaints there. Ambiance was perfect. It has that trucker, small town American diner ambiance. The food was delicious! I want to visit here again next Saturday and try a different breakfast plate. First off, I've been wanting good hash browns that don't seem like frozen or bought pre-prepped and these hit the spot! They're unique also. Never had this style. The potato slivers were really thick so really tasty. It was toasty and soft, so perfect texture. I just wish it was seasoned. I understand why it may not be but it would've made it perfect. I came originally to order the ham steak but I saw home made hot Italian sausage and I had to try it. I'm so glad I did. It was delicious! So tasty! It's going to be hard not ordering that on my next visit. I didn't care for the Apple Cobbler. It was just a mini apple pie. I mean if that's what you want go for it. It tasted good. It's just not my ideal version of a cobbler. I still highly recommend this place and I'm definitely eating here again on my next opportunity to eat breakfast!

    Second chance. Walked in with NO ONE at the front to check peopke in, creating a line. Once someone…read moreactually came to man rgat station, seating was quick. Waited awhile for the waitress once seated. I ordered their version of French Dip - Tri Tip dip. Waited for about 30 minutes for the food. Waitress brought it out without the Au Jus. Stated she would go back to kitchen to get it. Came right back out, stating they were all out. If the point if a DIP sandwich is the AuJus, you should announce you are out AT THE TIME THE ITEM IS ORDERED!! It took so long to get the mean, I did not feel like sending it back to the kitchen to order something else. And don't bring out Malt vinegar or Worchestershire sauce as a "substitute! French fries as a side were luke warm and UNSALTED! Salt would no longer stick to the potatoes at that time. Sandwich was dry....definitely needed the Au Jus. Ended up eating the insides, leaving the greasy ciabatta on the plate. Probably will notvretuen. Lackluster service and mediocre food quality. El Paso has better food choices!
