Undercooked hash browns that I could not eat
Stacy G.

I ordered the Grand Slam Burrito, and once again the hash browns were not completely cooked. This isn't the first time I've had this issue -- it seems to be a recurring problem at many Denny's locations. The hash browns come out soft and undercooked instead of golden and crispy like they should be. Denny's corporate and franchise owners really need to remind their cooks that hash browns should be cooked all the way through, with that crisp texture customers expect. It's a small detail, but it makes a big difference in the meal experience.

We drive from Northern, AZ to Iowa quite often unfortunately. We always end up stopping at Tucumcari Denny's in the middle of the night and we always get Amanda. She's fun and attentive and I'm thankful for her. I have a limited diet and an thankful for their healthy whole grain pancakes at an awesome price.

Tastes like food fried in old oil. Indifferent service. Asked for a spoon -- got a plastic knife and fork

Food tastes like it's fried in engine oil -- old and unpleasant. Service indifferent. Asked for a spoon, got a disposable knife and fork instead . Everything served in cheap single-use containers.

You know what, heck yeah…read more Tucumcari is sleepy. And that's okay. A burger at Blake's, however, is not. It's good. Dare I say - it's even a little rowdy. I usually wind up here just passing through and have had a hard time finding something reliable that's Not A Chain, so this fits the bill. I rolled the dice and tried the online ordering, and my food was ready a lot faster than I thought it would be. Granted, I ordered an hour before closing (sorry) so your mileage may vary. It's a little on the expensive side, but whatever. It's like a hundred dollars to step out of your house anymore. I got out of here just under twenty bucks for a double New Mexico burger, a large fry, and a shake. The patties aren't really seasoned, but they're cooked well, and if you add the chopped chiles and some bacon, you'll be just fine. The seasoned fries are tasty. The shakes are average, but sometimes that chocolate syrup predictability is exactly what you need after hours of driving. The folks working here are friendly and diligent. So, despite the fact I spend most of my time in Tucumcari asleep, this burger definitely woke me up out of the zombie haze that i40 does to people. Looking forward to my next stop here. Don't let the lights on 66 go out. :)

Great food, great service, what's not to love?…read more We ordered a couple burgers with various degrees of customization plus fries, onion rings, and a biscochito shake.

I visited on a Monday evening, around 5pm. That's usually the time us old folks eat. I had no issue getting a table. Promptly seated, I ordered a beer and my dinner. The menu is a good mix, something for everyone. I ordered the Chili Rellenos. Of course I ordered that. Hey, when in Rome..... My meal was served quick and hot. Waiting a minute to cool was definitely in the cards. No problem, I had my beer, salsa and chips to occupy me while the steam settled. After a bit, I dug in. First fork was the rice. Oh, was that rice ever good! The only problem was that there wasn't enough. I suggest that you order a side of that glorious grain. Fantastic! The refried beans, well, were ok, but just ok. The Hatch greenies, as you'd expect, were outstanding and very flavorful. I ordered them Christmas style, with green and red sauce. Both of those condiments were tasty, but of the two, the green sauce stood out. Boy did it ever. I'll be dreaming of that sauce later tonight. Hopefully my girlfriend doesn't pop into the picture.....OR, maybe she should! LoL, now that would be a dream! Don't worry about parking, as there is more than ample. You can park in the front, the back, either side, and if you're driving a big rig, pulling a trailer, or driving a tank, they've got you covered. Across the street is special parking for those vehicles. More parking outside than tables inside. Pay La Cita a visit for a romantic dinner, or as I did, by yourself....my dream trend may have helped with that. Hey, I may be old, but certainly not dead! Quick Tip: I parked in the back, and when leaving, I took the dirt alley. It was a fun adventure. I'd suggest that you do it during daylight hours though. You never know who you'll run into, or for that matter, over! Let's hope it isn't Skinny Pete or Badger.

My girlfriend and I were very excited to try this place during our short stay in Tucumcari in hopes…read moreof some good, authentic Mexican food. Based off of the other Yelp reviews, I had high hopes, but unfortunately, we were let down by this place. We ordered online and ordered multiple different dishes in order to try them out. Here are the dishes that I got: Brisket Burrito: The meat was dried out and tasted several days old and reheated. The burrito also didn't seem to have the pan fried potatoes that were supposed to be in it. Tacos al Carbon: From the first bite I knew I wasn't going to eat these; the steak tasted weird, with a weird texture, and seemed old. Enchilladas: I got them with beef & green sauce; the beef had a decent flavor and texture. Stuffed Sopapilla: The sopapilla itself had a good comfort food type of taste and texture. I got it with beef & green sauce. The beef had a decent flavor and texture. As for the sides--the Mexican rice just tasted like salt, and the beans were bland and flavorless. If you're looking for fresh, yummy Mexican food--don't waste your money on this place. I have no idea how it has so many good Yelp reviews.

We liked it so much that we stopped again on our way home two days later. First time through I had the huevos rancheros. Cooked and served exactly as I like, with red chile on the side. Red chile was flavorful and not real hot, but spicy enough. My table mates had a cheeseburger with hand cut fries. It was cooked exactly as she asked for it. My other table mate had biscuits and gravy with two scrambled eggs, and she ate every bit of it. On our way back home on sunday.They had a special sunday menu. Two of us had the spaghetti with meat sauce. It had flavorful meat sauce. Could have used a little more garlic in the sauce.But that is a personal preference of mine. I had enough to take home and have for a second meal at home. Both times we were there.The owner came over to make sure our meals were as we asked for and that we were enjoying them. On Sunday when we came back through, he was the one waiting tables and told us a lot of punny jokes. If you are going south through Fort Sumner, instead of taking a left towards Clovis, take a right and try this restaurant, you will not be sorry.
