THIS IS THE BREAKFAST SPOT! Just shut up and eat here. When my family walked in we were the only white people, which I took as a sign we were in the right place, this is where locals eat. 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. read more

Great food. Excellent staff. Totally worth stopping by on a roadtrip. First time there I had a breakfast burrito smothered in green chile. Too large to finish. Something I rarely say. Second time I had the carne adovado, that was truly amazing. Probably the best I've ever had and I've lived in Arizona and Texas for the last 40 years read more

Great place for traditional NM breakfast with the ever present green chili. Can't miss with this place and prices are very reasonable. Get the burrito plate and dig in. Flavorful and just the right amount of kick to get you going. Waitress kicked a$$ too! Highly recommend this place. read more

Excellent huevos rancheros - tried both green and red - both very hot and great smoky flavor. Lots of locals - definitely the place to go!

This is a quick detour off I40 with great servers and great food. Plenty of parking and very clean inside.

We were driving I40 across the United States and needed to stop for lunch. Following Google, we were directed to the opposite side of the train tracks. 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. read more

Stopped by Mama's Kitchen during our Route 66 trip and I'm so glad we did. Had the chorizo and egg handheld burrito for breakfast and it was mouthwatering delicious. The burrito was filled with egg, chorizo, hash browns and you got to choose between red or green chile. I chose green and it was spicy and super flavorful. The staff were super friendly and service was quick. Would definitely recommend if you ever stop in Gallup, NM! read more

Great place the locals seem to know, but not obvious for travelers. There were a lot of locals and we got some looks for being strangers but no one seemed to mind us, more just curious. The food seemed to have a mix of themes from traditional diner food, Mexican, and some native Indian influences too. This added to make the recipes more interesting, fresh, and worth coming back for again. We pass through the area a few times a year, we will be coming back here next time we do. read more

Mama's Kitchen - Handheld breakfast burrito Two eggs and bacon - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Gallup, New Mexico

I've recently moved to Tennessee so whenever I'm home my father takes to me his favorite spots, he's been talking about this place for a while, so on this trip he had to take me. I have to say I'm not disappointed. One thing Gallup has is lots of places to eat, what they do not have is GOOD places to eat. Mamas is a great place to eat. Everyone is friendly and it's a family affair. It's quick, it's clean and the service is excellent. The portion sizes are huge so you get a lot for what you pay for. If I was just driving through this and the railway cafe would be the top places I'd hit. read more

Very fast service, and nice staff. The food was excellent. Clean and neat restaurant. We highly recommend Mama's!

We were greeted right away by the staff. They were very friendly. Restaurant is very clean. Was busy when we were there but were served our drinks right away and soon our server came to take our food orders. Food was hot and fresh and came out quick for most of our party. Unfortunately my tacos came out later than everyone else's and they were almost done by the time I got mine. Food was good but not the best Mexican food I have had. My wife had the chorizo and eggs and said it was delicious. We opted to try this place because two of the Native Kitchens we tried to go to before this said they were open but were closed. Wasn't a bad place to stumble upon. read more

Good was good and service was even better. Was also very clean. The menu offered a burrito that was huge.

Amazing food, fast and wonderful service and fairly priced! In and out happy in 30min. Must stop!

I can't say enough good things about Mama's Kitchen. From the very kind and attentive service to the truly delicious food I absolutely loved Mama's kitchen. The "homey small town diner" atmosphere was warm and happy. The "Mom's Table Manners" wall mural brought smiles and nostalgia right straight to my heart. read more

Stopped in on the way from Albuquerque to Paso Robles, as it had been snowing for a while, and breakfast sounded good. Had the Huevos Rancheros with red sauce (and some green on the side). Wife had an omelet. Food was delicious, service was friendly and on point. Clearly a "local" place, but still nice for those of us "just passing through". Easy to get off the I-40, and right back on (with a quick gas stop). read more

Nice little local restaurant. Waitress very attentive and smiling. The food came fast and very delicious. Will come back

The food was ok. The chicken fried steak was a 3/10. The biscuits and gravy were not great. The gravy definitely seemed to come out of a can/jar. It's possible the more New Mexican food would have been smarter to order but we didn't and were disappointed. The service was fine, nothing special. read more

Cute little place. Staff is friendly and service is great! It was quieter than many small restaurants with hard surfaces. The vibe was calm and warm. The pancakes and French toast are both delicious! I highly recommend. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place!

We had beef enchiladas and the cheeseburger with green chili. My father really enjoyed his enchiladas and my cheeseburger was fantastic after they quickly fulfilled my request for additional chili. The fries were more than plentiful and nice and crisp on the outside. Service was quick and friendly. Typical small town diner ambiance. Was only disappointed in the amount of chili on the burger and when I discovered that I was charged for double chili. The original amount of chili was nowhere near the amount one would expect when paying to add it to a burger. read more
