If your not into spice, let them know and they might help guide you to a less spicy dish. Otherwise, feel the burn. It's about as much spice as I like. The ground beef is spicy and a bit dry. I really like the chile relleno.

I opted for a chili relleno with a side salad. The salad was larger than usual for a side and all the ingredients were fresh and crispy. Very satisfying. The chili relleno had a proper fluffy egg coating and a cheese filling. Red and green sauces are offered and you can choose "Christmas," their charming term for both. (See picture). Service was friendly and prompt. A great local spot and on a freezing cold night there was no wait but every table was full for most of the time I was there. Parking is available on the street nearby and around the corner.

The portions are huge, the food is tasty, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and if all else fails, there's a list of table manners painted on the wall. It's kid-friendly too. A free refill on hot chocolate? Say less! I'm not sure when I'll be back in Gallup, but when I am, I will absolutely be coming back for breakfast.

This became a problem as a very long train came through. We had to wait and wait and wait. That wasn't the restaurant's fault, just make sure your directions keep you on the right side of the train tracks. We were seated right away in the restaurant. Everyone was sweet and attentive. We ordered enchiladas and breakfast waffle with eggs and bacon. Just the right food for the time. We would have liked to have explored Gallup, but the road was calling. A nice respite on a long drive.

"Amy moves like a quiet tide between tables, balancing plates like small, shining moons. Her smile is warm bread, her voice a soft clink of glasses at dusk. She knows who wants lemon, who needs a moment, who came in carrying the weight of a long day. She sets it down gently beside the forks. The ice is good here-- clear, bright, and singing in every cup, little crystals that catch the light like laughter you didn't expect. And the food-- oh, the food arrives like a promise kept: golden, fragrant, alive with comfort, each bite a reason to stay a little longer. Amy drifts through it all, steady as a heartbeat, turning hunger into something softer-- something like home"
