    a plate of mexican food

    I found this restaurant while looking for a place to get a good steak. Upon arriving, I was told to sit anywhere which I did. I saw sirloin steak, rib eye, and t-bone on the menu served with a cheese enchilada (I could choose from beef or chicken too-about $20). However, I've not found a steak worth eating in Gallup, so I went for the beef fajitas instead ($17). As you can see, the serving size is more than adequate. It looks pretty good too. I always judge a Mexican food place by their fajitas. I found the fajitas to be rather tender yet not spiced at all. Maybe a little salt and pepper. There wasn't much to say about them. They were fair by my standards. The tortillas were flour and appear to be handmade. The guacamole was rather plain but still was fresh. The beans and rice were par as well. The chips and salsa were atrocious. It's part if what I like the best going to a Mexican food place. The chips were cold and floury tasting as if they weren't cooked long enough (odd as I think they are corn chips). The salsa was spicy but not much flavor. It really could've used something else like onions. Wait staff were nice and accommodating. The food was served promptly and quite hot minus the cold chips. The one thing that really hit me the wrong way and cost this establishment at least 1 star is the fact that 2 or 3 people were roaming through the guests trying to sell Indian jewelry and trinkets. I do not go out to be bothered to buy anything much less these items. I literally told these people five times (four up until 2 seconds ago) no and yet they continue to try to get me to buy their garbage. It's very irritating and I probably won't be back for that reason alone. I did ask the server to ask them not to come by my table and he chose to ignore my request. Overall, not a bad place to get food but the selling of trinkets took away any part of enjoyment I got from the food.

    Try the beef tacos. They are amazing. The free salsa has the perfect kick to it. Friendly service and great prices.

    So much food! Every local we spoke to, even hotel staff said…read moreto go to Jerry's for breakfast. The service was outstanding and the restaurant was eclectic and old but very clean. I asked the waitress which was smaller the sopaipilla or the breakfast burrito? She said the sopaipilla. Holy moly. It was stuffed with thick bacon, hash browns, eggs and smothered in red and green salsa (they call it Christmas salsa). I ended up opening it and eating the inside because it was seriously enough for 2 people. Hubs had the Eye Opener. Two eggs, Christmas salsa, hash browns and bean, served with sopaipilla. He barely finished. The coffee was so good! Best place for breakfast in Gallup.

    Of course I found it through my fellow yelpers…read more I was looking for fry bread and this place popped up Decided to come because it has good reviews. Saw a guy eating a sopapilla outside said it was good and there were several people outside waiting so we were like ok it's gonna be good. Ordered the Sopapilia covered in red sauce because it was a popular choice. Sadly, I was disappointed. I think it would have been good by itself no sauce. Just a sopapilla by itself. In sauce was too much. The red sauce did not taste homemade. If it is I'm sorry but it just wasn't my cup of tea. The kids drummettes were fried and tasty. Other than that it was just another diner. We did meet others who said they frequent but knowing true Mexican food, it's a no go for me. Service was ok. Ambiance Diner feel. We met a guy who said there was a cafe town the road that he preferred I don't remember the name but at least I know I'm not the only one who did not enjoy it. He was also from Cali so there you go. Sorry to disappoint. Good luck finding good eats. SYOY
