Very awesome stop off the 25. The staff is very friendly and I just love supporting local joints!

Gallup, New Mexico --- discovered a local's eatery ... the food menu is Mexican/American & fair-priced ... no counter seating, but comfortable table-seating & friendly interactive local customers ... Gallup is Native American "Navajo" country from talking with a local ... "Grandma's Restaurant" is on the "other side" of the tracks (from Route 66) ... trains rule the West! "Run-A-Way Bill" was here! #RunAwayBill #DUSA2017 #Route66RunAwayBill #HistoricRoute66 #Route66 11.20.17

Carne asada burrito w verde sauce.

Looking for something different on our road trip to the Edge of America. This place seemed promising and it did not disappoint! Get the verde sauce. It's legit.

We stopped for breakfast at El Rancho Restaurant in Gallup, New Mexico, located in the historic El…read moreRancho Hotel, which serves American and Mexican food with a Hollywood theme, featuring dishes named after movie stars like the "John Wayne Burger" and "Ronald Reagan Burger". This location is on the Historic Route 66 Highway. I'm still in search for the best New Mexico chili and trying as many locations before leaving. I enjoyed the huevos rancheros breakfast in green chili salsa at El Rancho. While dining at El Rancho, we met a group visiting from Wales, UK in the U.S. for the World Cup turns out Josh Thomas is a professional Rugby Player in Wales they were so nice. The service was great. I bought a few souvenirs and Prickly Pear candy at their gift shop. The weather in Gallup is much nicer and cooler than it was in Rosewell. Check out this near town! Happy Yelping :)

This place is mediocre at best. I went here because Gallup doesn't have a ton of options, it is…read moreclose to where I'm staying and the recent reviews were ok, plus I was hungry. I ordered the three dips and chips - which is a shareable appetizer. It came out almost as soon as I ordered it and since I was only the third person in the restaurant I wondered if they had a bunch pre-made in case they got busy. The guac wasn't made to order. It looked like it had been sitting out for awhile, but tasted ok. Queso was good. Salsa was decent. Chips were good but I had more tiny broken pieces than actual dip worthy chips. For dinner I chose the Rita Moreno with chicken, no sour cream and no beans. I got it "Christmas style" so I could try both green and red sauces. When it was brought to me the plate had beans on it and the enchiladas weren't even hot - they were barely warm. The cheese garnish on top was barely melted. I started with the red side. The sauce was very spicy (I love spice so no big deal for me). I wasn't a big fan of the flavor so I switched to the green side. The sauce had a decent amount of spice but way more flavorful IMO. The tiny rice scoop was decent, but again, all this food was barely warm. The waiter came by once to say sorry about the beans but a random hotel/restaurant guest that was muttering something incoherently prevented me from being able to get a refill of my soda. By the time the waiter checked in again I was over it and asked for my check. I guess I could say the appetiser met expectation but would have been much better had the guac been made to order. With all the hype this place got I expected more. There is a bar and a gift shop connected to it and a historic hotel where apparently come famous people stayed long ago. Since I'm not staying there and was there only for dinner I would have rather had a better meal experience and less hype. My advice is to keep looking unless you have it as a stop on your bucket/checklist.
