Saw a guy eating a sopapilla outside said it was good and there were several people outside waiting so we were like ok it's gonna be good. Ordered the Sopapilia covered in red sauce because it was a popular choice. Sadly, I was disappointed. I think it would have been good by itself no sauce. Just a sopapilla by itself. In sauce was too much. The red sauce did not taste homemade. If it is I'm sorry but it just wasn't my cup of tea. The kids drummettes were fried and tasty. Other than that it was just another diner. We did meet others who said they frequent but knowing true Mexican food, it's a no go for me. Service was ok. Ambiance Diner feel. We met a guy who said there was a cafe town the road that he preferred I don't remember the name but at least I know I'm not the only one who did not enjoy it. He was also from Cali so there you go. Sorry to disappoint. Good luck finding good eats. SYOY

My New Mexico native boyfriend loves Blake's and we make it a habit to visit Blake's as many times…read moreas possible on each visit to his home state. This was our first time driving to Albuquerque from San Diego and we were ecstatic to learn that there were three Blake's locations in Gallup. This was the only location that serves breakfast all-day though and my boyfriend is primarily obsessed with the meatless breakfast burrito with red and green chile so we knew this would be our lunch spot. I wasn't feeling a burrito for lunch though and debated between the three chicken options before settling on the chicken strips with upgraded seasoned fries and cherry milkshake. Somehow, we had never tried the seasoned fries before and they will now become a part of our regular rotation as we loved them! Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the chicken as it was just okay. I think my biggest issue though was the ranch, which was can make or break a meal for me, and it definitely broke it here. It tastes like bottled ranch and not fresh homemade ranch, like our other New Mexico obsession (Dion's) makes. I think if the ranch had been better, or if I had asked for barbecue as another dipping sauce option, the chicken would have been more enjoyable too. Luckily, the fries were delicious on their own and the cherry milkshake continues to be one of my favorite things and I'm so glad Blake's offers it as an alternative the other traditional flavors. The wait for our food seemed like it took awhile but we used the downtime to stretch our legs and take our dogs for a walk. Just don't expect this time be a quick fast food like stop.

The fries were good but the meat on the sandwich was overcooked and super chewy but dry. My sidekick had the fish and fries and some kind of soup.

The decor had that fun old school diner/cafe vibe one would expect out on The Mother Road.

It isn't every day you discover a gem in the middle of the desert, but Oasis is precisely…read morethat--both literally and figuratively. On my drive home, I kept searching for a decent place to eat. Navigation, Waze, and Google Maps offered plenty of options, but nothing hit the mark; I either passed the exits or found the top-rated spots uninviting. I wasn't starving, but I wanted to grab a bite so I could drive for hours uninterrupted. I parked out front. There weren't many customers, though given the time of day, that made sense. Walking in, past political and cultural cues that felt deeply familiar, the first thing I noticed was how spotless the place was. Salwa greeted me with a genuine, calming smile and invited me to sit anywhere. Other tables were occupied by people from all walks of life, all enjoying their meals. She suggested the lamb, but despite growing up with lamb as my main red meat, I've recently developed a sensitivity to its gamey aroma. Instead, I picked an appetizer and a main dish. The appetizer arrived in a generous portion meant for two or three people. With every bite, I told myself, Just pack it for the hotel, but I simply couldn't stop eating. The texture and flavor were unbelievable. Then came the main dish--beautifully prepared and so delicious I had to finish it, even if it meant risking a food coma behind the wheel. The fresh bread, which I hadn't even ordered, was equally impossible to resist. The food carried a comforting, homemade quality reminiscent of my wife's, my mother's, or my late grandmothers' cooking, despite coming from an entirely different culinary tradition. Salwa and I chatted throughout my meal. Her calm, hopeful, and positive spirit gave me far more energy than the food itself. When I learned she was out of her signature desert, I decided against ordering another sweet, not wanting to risk anything that wasn't made by her hands. I jokingly asked why she was here instead of San Diego, but in truth, I'm glad she isn't. If she were near me, I'd be there every single day like a hungry wolf, destroying my health markers--though I'd die one of the happiest people alive, having eaten the most delicious food imaginable. As it turned out, the meal was balanced, light, and made with pristine ingredients. I mentioned how perfect the grilled tomatoes and onions were in texture, taste, and presentation, and she shared that she buys them fresh every morning from a local market. I used to think Base Camp at Everest, Patagonia, and Machu Picchu were the only items on my bucket list. Oasis is now the fourth--and by far the most accessible. Thank you, Salwa. You and your restaurant are true jewels in the rough.

We exited onto US 491 and saw there were many fast food places. And as we were about to pull into McDonald's, we saw a local burger place and since we like to support local whenever we can, we drove across the parking lot to BLAKE'S. My wife was told from a former land of enchantment resident that Blakes was the place for the best burgers. We had the New Mexico burger, which had the green chilies on a double beef patty with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions. It was awesome! We also had the season fries, which were super good! We try not to eat too much fast food, so when we do, we want it to be worth it, and this combo meal at Blakes was absolutely worth it! The cashier young lady was sweet and friendly. The fries-station young man had a big smile. And the staff were all friendly. Inside seating area was clean. The restrooms were well attended and had to be opened by the cashier so they were safe. Overall, it was a great experience! And the drive-through line was completely full when we got there and when we left.
