They also have a food truck that is supposed to have delicious cheeseburgers but they close at 3pm and missed it. The service was great by Ms. Angelica. Happy Yelping :)

One of those places that's necessary for those traveling long distances and need to fuel up / stretch. I did end up getting some jerky and peanut brittle. Not too bad.

When we visited the Sunrise Kettle Corn booth, we were offered generous samples of different flavor…read morekettle corn. We tried regular, caramel and cinnamon. They also offer chili and banana split, both of which I had no interest in. The popped kernels were huge and fluffy. We were told they are called mushroom popcorn. Regular Kettle Corn: This was fluffy, with the right amount of salty and sweet. Cinnamon Kettle Corn: At first I wasn't impressed. I was expecting more of a cinnamon/sugar combo taste, but it was pure cinnamon coating the kettle corn. I bought a bag anyway. Well, it is addicting!!! I love it. No need for more sweetness. Caramel Kettle Corn: Perfect! This is not overly sweet nor sticky. Just a subtle caramel taste that lets you eat a lot without your taste buds being overwhelmed with sweetness. All flavors above had the undertones of the regular kettle corn. We will be back.

I looked at a BHG hummingbird earrings but I didn't want to spend over $200. I did buy the tiniest BHG earrings, an Indian design ring, a copper hoop earrings and a bundle of sage.

Yes we got suckered into going here by the billboards. We all know the billboards as we are driving…read moredown I-10 and there is about 10 billboards advertising the many different travel plazas in southern New Mexico. I actually never stopped at one of these before because when I was younger my grandparents always flew through New Mexico and never would stop for anything. What made me stop this time around? Because my boyfriend saw that billboard for the desert bot which too him looked too much like a transformer so like a child he begged me to stop so he can see the robot. I'm not gonna lie, the robot was pretty good and he has his own little merch going on there. The billboard mentioned homemade cookies, which I actually did try and while they may not be world famous, they taste really good for gas station cookies. Their snack selection is pretty limited and their drink selection you will miss it if your not actively looking for it. It definitely wasn't crowded and the workers there were friendly. You do have to pay pretty far from the cashier though so don't be shocked if your cashier is at the register and your two counters away checking out. Overall its a nice stop and I recommend if the kiddos are acting up, to stop here and let them see the desert transformer.

I Don't Want to be a Brother…read more Nice gift shop located along the main drag that has a good selection of Hatch and other chili related merchandise. The Good: *Lady running the front was friendly enough *Store is very organized and comfortable to walk around in. *Prices seemed about the same as everywhere else The Meh: *A bit of a language barrier The Ugly: *We arrived into town after 9 a.m. (store claims to be open at 8:30), and they were closed. We happened to see them just as they were opening as we were leaving town after 10 a.m. Luckily for them, I was still looking for something, and that's the only reason I stopped. Otherwise, they'd have been SoL. TLDR: Nice place, but hours of operation may be arbitrary. #TheEarlyBirdGetsTheWorm

The magnificent truth is, Hatch New Mexico has the best chili peppers in the world. And I don't mean they have to be hot, although that can be a good thing, the taste is inexplicable, beyond expression, very unique and also extraordinary. The smell alone of fresh chili, and the aroma of fire roasting peppers, and the incredible volume of the cosecha is unparalleled. These folks make incredible salsas and powders with their chilis - hmmm good! As you gaze upon ristra after ristra of chili peppers dangling from the girders, and laying on the trays, or scattered among the displays and even in your hands - you can't be but astonished at the flavor and fragrance that abound around you. Everything roasted or sun-dried Hatch Chili is here. From whole chilis, powdered chili, edible, ornamental and utilitarian ristras - this place is simply fascinating. Just in case you're wondering, not all Hatch Peppers are hot, hot, hot! They come is Mild), Medium (Big Jim), Hot (Sandia), extra Hot (Barker), double extra Hot (Lumbre) and the triple extra Hot (Lumbre). Personally, I can't recommend Lumbre - yes, I've tried it. And just in case you're not prone to taking some peppers with you like we did for our freezer, chile food products, accessories, books and some miscellaneous merchandise to remember them by. Chile Fanatic is worth the stop when Hatch. Most recommended.
