If you find yourself driftin' through Roswell, folks'll point you straight toward Cowboy Cafe like…read moreit's gospel and truth be told, it's earned that reputation. Now I'll say this... I rode in half expectin' a little more alien flair maybe a green fella slingin' hash behind the counter but that ain't the hand they deal. What you do get is a clean joint, friendly service, and a plate that shows up honest and hot. That patty melt? Solid. Crispy, greasy in the right way, and worth the stop. Breakfast holds its own too eggs done right, no nonsense, just good fuel for the road. And for the record, the whole UFO business traces back to the Roswell Incident, which actually went down a ways outside of town but Roswell's been carryin' that legend ever since. End of the day, Cowboy Cafe ain't about gimmicks it's about doin' simple food right. Clean place, good service, strong local backing. Not quite outta this world... but a dependable stop all the same.

Pulled over to get a coffee before long shift. Super cute and clean. Young girl at counter was very friendly and nice when I took a little extra time trying to figure out what I wanted. On the large board behind the counter was the special drinks and food for the month of February. I decided to get a chocolate cherry iced latte with white chocolate instead of milk or dark. I also got the white chocolate strawberry scone. The scone came warmed , it was so good I should have gotten 2 of them. My iced drink was good, even with swapping out of white chocolate it was tasty but a bit on the sweet side. They also have milk alternatives, I got oatmilk. I like that they use paper cups to help with the over use of plastic cups and not a lot of places to recycle them.

Was pleased with the coffee Service was ehh. The guy at the front just seemed like he didn't want to be there, which I get it. But that has been my experience here in New Mexico thus far. A lot of non charismatic service, possibly due to too much weed on their time off haha they were pretty behind too, & busy. Lot of orders to fill The ambiance was chill, & hipster. Not much alien stuff going on in there, Interestingly enough. A good spot to hang though!

Most of the time, diners, pizza…read moreshops, ice cream parlors serve this purpose, and sometimes, cafeterias/coffee shops, bakeries do. A little bit less common yet, we find restaurants that provide this space over a long period of time. Martin's Capitol Cafe would be such. We ordered a tamale, carne adovada and a chimichanga. The chimichanga wasn't deep fried but pan fried, which was not common and already a red flag. We got our food and it was just OK. The chips and salsa were good, but the food was OK. My portion was also small, and the rice was a bit dry. Maybe we ordered wrong... The restaurant is also a bit well worn. It adds charm but I think charm that is not backed up with good food is like a band-aid over a bleeding wound.
