    The device was great as I was quickly greeted with a smile. While inside is quaint and inviting. The food pretty good , although it is a bit expensive considering what they are serving. I had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and the chicken was nice and tender.

    *There was a lot more meat hidden under that savory enchilada sauce

    On a road trip, was about to make a right hand turn and just felt the glowing open sign drawing me in. So glad I stopped! I wasn't too hungry so I went with the enchilada fries. I'm from San Diego so my bar is pretty high for carne asada on fries, and MAN these were amazing. From the texture of the fries, to the flavor of the sauce, meat, and cheese... I'm blown away. Will try and arrange my travel back so I can try one of their Hatch green chile burgers or home made pizzas

    Delicious hamburger and enchilada fries. The green chili sauce is perfect. So happy they were open!

    If you ever find yourself blowing through Columbus, NM like a tumbleweed in the wind, then you best stop in for an unexpected delightful meal. Situated at the junction of highway 11 and 9, this little Cafe has everything from Greek gyros, freshly made personal pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, breakfast items, salads and sandwiches. I have ordered something different each visit and have never been let down. The restaurant is clean with great atmosphere and the staff take care of you with a smile. Life may be good at the borderland, but so is the food and service.

    Great Place for breakfast and lunch!

    Love this place! Ate here heading to Ft. Worth, hubby got breakfast and I had a sub, both were fantastic! Heading back to Arizona started to take I 10 but decided of Hwy 9 so we could try again. Once again they didn't let us down. We both had breakfast this time, had to send my eggs back due to new waitress not listening to order, no problem I was very happy when I got my eggs over easy within 2 mins!!! I love the whole wheat toast, it was fantastic! The eggs were nice and a rich yellow yolk almost orange! If going thru Columbus, NM, do NOT pass this place without a meal. They have great burritos to go. We got 2 heading east and then 3 heading west heading home, they were great!! Hope they keep it going, Thank You for Great Food and Friendly service!! Only reason for 4 over 5 stars is they are training some new staff, I wish them the Best!!!

    Great salads and they have wonderful fries and a cucumber limeade that quenches the dry air.

    See all

    The Junction Brunch House - Pipo especial

    The Junction Brunch House

    If you're looking for a brunch spot in El Paso that brings together great food, genuine…read morehospitality, and live music--The Junction Brunch House is a standout. I kept it classic with waffles, bacon, and eggs--and it absolutely hit the mark. The waffles were light, fluffy, and perfectly golden, the bacon was cooked just right, and everything came out fresh and satisfying. Simple comfort food done right. But what really elevated the experience was the atmosphere. They had live musical entertainment by Louie, who was incredible. He played a mix of hits from yesterday and today, moving effortlessly between country & western, contemporary favorites, and traditional Spanish songs. His versatility created a warm, lively environment that both staff and customers clearly enjoyed--it added something special you don't find everywhere. Service was just as impressive. Our server, XAY, had a bright, welcoming smile and provided outstanding service from start to finish. They offered great suggestions on local favorites and specials, which made the experience feel personal rather than routine. The vibe overall is relaxed, inviting, and very "El Paso"--a place where you can sit, enjoy your meal, and stay a while. Overall: Delicious, well-executed brunch classics Live music that enhances the experience (not overwhelms it) Exceptional, friendly service Comfortable, welcoming atmosphere Would I go back? Without a doubt. This is more than just brunch--it's an experience.

    On my way out of El Paso, which incidentally was the day the Feds shutdown the air space around the…read morecity, ended up giving me an opportunity for one last time to try another local eatery. I went in for brunch, and one place that absolutely deserves a visit is The Junction Brunch House. The restaurant is set inside a literal house, which gives it a cozy, welcoming feel from the moment you walk in. The service is warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. As for the food? Ay Dios mio! Outstanding. I ordered Big T's Texas Breakfast: two eggs any style, bacon, and pancakes or French toast. I chose scrambled eggs and pancakes. The presentation was impressive, looking more like something you'd expect at a high-end hotel restaurant. The eggs were folded neatly, omelet-style, into a triangle and cooked perfectly--flavorful and fluffy. The bacon was crispy yet juicy, just right. The pancakes were a four-stack, light and fluffy with a beautiful griddle finish. They came with butter mixed with brown sugar and cinnamon, and a side of and maple syrup, which took them to another level. Junction has locally made hot sauce on the table, and fair warning as both packed some serious heat and paired perfectly with the eggs. What really stood out was the attentive service. The staff checked in regularly, made sure I had everything I needed, and seemed to refill my coffee right on cue. While brunch alone makes it worth the trip, the menu offers much more than breakfast. I'm already looking forward to going back to try their lunch options. If you're in El Paso and craving a comfortable atmosphere with excellent food and service, this is a spot you shouldn't miss.
