    The food was ok, the drinks were great. But the service was terrible. Waited 45 mins to an hr just to put our names in. The hostess was nowhere to be found, finally I think a server started to sit people so I had her put our names down. 30 mins later, we sat. Ugh. Finally ordered that it took a while as well. Somewhat frustrated with our visit, to say the least.

    Schtick, done poorly But, to be fair Gallup's only attraction is the tired claim to Historical Highway 66, which lost its appeal for anyone less than 70 years old a decade ago. Anyway, these guys are milking it, and I bought it

    NOISY, at least where I was put. Right by the kitchen. I could have asked to be moved, but I was…read moreenjoying the Mexican music blaring where the cooks were. I figured if they're happy back there then I shouldn't worry about what comes out. I wasn't greeted with chips and salsa which was a surprise, seeing how it's a staple at every Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. So that was a bummer. You would think that nice salty chips and spicy salsa would pair well with a cold beer. It would make you thirsty for another thus adding to their bottom line. It's probably for the best after that salty mess last night at the Garage restaurant in Oklahoma. I still feel like Lot's wife after she looked back at Sodom and Gomorrah. My bubbly server took my order of a beer and a Mexicali hamburger steak (closest thing to meatloaf that I could get). It came to my table piping hot. My steak was covered in chopped green chilis, and was extremely delicious. The beans and rice were standard, so no woop there. Panz Alegra was pretty busy on this Saturday night. You can sit in the bar area, or the regular restaurant. The bar was a hoppin', while where I was seated was pretty tame. Unless you consider the exuberant busboy dancing his way to tables entertaining. He made me a bit nervous. The guy was one misstep away from adding more dishes to my table than I was comfortable with. Ricky Martin he was not. You can't go wrong with Panz. You can get better, but who wants to drive all the way to Las Cruces. Quick Tip: This place boasts American-Mexican-Italian food on its menu. Interesting. I never would have thought that American food would find its way on the menu. Oh, from the outside, the restaurant looks abandoned. One of many relics you can find along Route 66. But don't be deterred. There's people inside, dancing and otherwise.

    Panz Alegra was a fun experience. I didnt know what to expect going in, they apparently have a bar…read moreand a restaurant area. I was in the restaurant side. The service was ok, good in terms of attentiveness, they were swamped and there was a wait to get in anways. Food came out pretty slow but then I am not sure if they are usually completely full. The Chile Releno was reallly good and had a lot of flavor to it. The tacos were pretty basic and the rice was good. My meal came with a large folded flour tortilla with a butter pad that confused me. The menu was expansive and some of the burgers that passed by me looked really good. They touted a sign that said an best authentic mexican food award, but really its tex-mex. Ill go again for sure try more and update.

So a few more minutes pass, then the waitress brings us menus, after a few more minutes pass again, the waitress asked if someone has taken our order. (Menus still on the table should indicate to a smart waitress, that nobody has taken our order) I said no. Now 2 waitresses are asking each other if they want to take our order. 1 agrees to take our order, they both leave and 1 comes back and starts to talk with an attitude. We get up and leave, telling our waitress to get it together. This was ridiculous, we made our back in into town and went to Gordo's Restaurant and got service, and had better prices. Since Virgies Restaurant was closer to the house, I thought I would give them another try, NEVER AGAIN!!!!.

    Virgie's was a good spot in Gallup for a late to go meal. The menu is basic but true to New…read moreMexico. I had green chili enchiladas and the sauce was great. The to go sides of rice and beans were disappointing, but the price was still good for three enchiladas. I was also bummed they didn't include chips with the meals, but it looks like they do if you dine-in. The service was very good and the staff was friendly. Overall, I would recommend but suggest a few to go upgrades.

    GREAT APPLEBEE'S EXPERIENCE!…read more This location is conveniently located within walking distance of most of the hotels in the area, right off of the I-40. Our server, Cleo was very nice and friendly. The drinks all came out tasting delicious. All of our food was cooked great. My husband noted that the appetizer sampler tasted better than usual. My dad loved the bourbon Street chicken, served on a platter similar to fajitas. We had a great experience at this Applebee's. The interior is nice, with art pleasant to the eyes. All in all, I would come back again if I were in the area on a road trip or stopping through town.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing from start to finish…read more The first thing we noticed when we walked into the restaurant was a terrible smell. It wasn't exactly welcoming and immediately left a bad first impression. The service only got worse. Our meals were brought out at different times instead of all at once. Some of us had food while others sat waiting. Then my mother's meal never arrived at all. We assumed it was just running behind, but after waiting nearly an hour, we finally had to flag down our waitress to ask where it was. That's when we found out her order had been completely forgotten and never put in. It's common courtesy not to eat while someone at your table is still waiting for their meal, so the adults sat there while our food got cold. The only person I let eat was my daughter because she was hungry. By the time my mother's food was finally cooked and brought out, the rest of our meals were cold and the dining experience was completely ruined. No one should have to wait an hour just to discover their meal was forgotten. Between the terrible odor, food being served at different times, a forgotten order, cold meals, and inattentive service, this was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had. Unfortunately, we won't be returning to this Applebee's.
