    Enjoyed breakfast at Mama's kitchen. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. Staff were friendly. Felt like home..

    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.

    Handheld chorizo and egg burrito

    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!

    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.

    Grabbed a breakfast burrito when passing thought and it some simply delicious and wow under $7. Nothing compares to NM green chillies in the food! We are planning on stopping the next time we pass through and dine in.

    My last stop at Mama's Kitchen was on a Sunday so I was prepared for a crowd and a wait. It was crowded but they had extra staff on duty and the service was fast and excellent. Got a cheese and green chili omelette with the beans. The chilies do not disappoint. Coffee was good which is kinda rare when traveling. It was so good got a burrito to go for dinner on the road. Will always come back when in the area.

    Food was off the chain. Red & green chillie was spicy. Busy & family owned. Whenever in Gallup NM we will always stop.

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

    On a Route 66 road trip we stopped in to Jerry's. It's a small cafe filled with friendly locals…read moreand travelers and wonderful staff. Had to try some of their basics. I had a cheese enchilada, refried beans & rice. Had a side of chips & salsa. Husband had Jerry's open-faced burger with red and green chili. Both meals came with sopapillas. Everything was fabulous! Such a great way to get what felt like a true picture of Gallup, NM.

    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
