Generous like a grandma who won't take no for an answer. The flavor? LOUD. From the first bite to the last crumb, everything was straight comfort food heaven. Fast service, friendly vibes, and food that makes you sit back and go "damn..." If you're in Moriarty and not eating here, you're doing life wrong. Period.

Small diner-type place. I was skeptical at first, but I wasn't paying, so I enjoyed my time. . …read more lol I could not decide on what to get. When you are hungry, everything looks good. I decided to stay with the Mexican food theme. I had a taco, an enchilada, and a chile relleno. Everything was good! I haven't had a good chile relleon in a long time, and this one was good. The sauce was good on the enchilada. Everything was good. I had a tickle in my throat, and the chile was a bit spicy and made me cough, but it was good. I enjoyed the food and the company. If I am in the area again I will come back.

Been dieing for a shower, and pulled up my rig to this One9 Truck Stop that I've never bothered to…read morestop by. Felt like I was shot back in time to the 90s on route 66. The restrooms were retro, very 90s, run down but clean, and if I was running from the Sinaloa Cartel...I could picture myself hiding in a place like this. Almost like a mix between the films Memento and Breaking Bad. But yes, Lisa's Grill. I had to stop in at this Southwestern Flare Diner! It's situated inside the truck stop, with a very 70s & 80s atomic age diners vibe like that one scene in the Kingsmen movie. Loved the ceiling, bold colored red, glossy, with silver...makes Johnny Rockets look artificial. So I had to try their top picks on the menu. The Red Rooster -- country fried steak with red hot sauce, and their hatch chilli burgers. The food was ok, Id probably rate a 3.5/5. Menu is heavily influenced by Spanish cuisine. If your looking for a quick breakfast along route 66 in Central New Mexico, this is a good spot to take a break. Overall service, environment food I'd give it a 4/5. Seems pretty popular amongst the locals, and place is pretty packed for a lunch run. Yea, definitely come check it out!

If I had known it is a gravy and sausage thing I would have went for bacon. So the food is decent, sorry not great. Hash browns were burnt. Biscuits tasted good and the portions will not disappoint. They say there is green chili. I'll have to try the next time through. I will be back for a few reasons. It is local and only tried one thing off the menu. Need to give them a chance for redemption

5 Stars - A Hidden Gem in Moriarty, NM…read more Chili Hills may not look like much from the outside, but don't let the unassuming exterior fool you--this place is fantastic! We stopped in for dinner based on the glowing Yelp reviews, and they were absolutely right. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine warmth and friendliness. The vibe was laid-back and local, with just a few other diners--it is Moriarty, after all--but the service was top-notch. Hubby was thrilled to see they serve all-day breakfast, so he went for the pancakes, and I ordered the combo fajitas (chicken and steak). While waiting, they brought out chips and salsa. The salsa was a bit too spicy for me, but no problem--they happily brought ranch dressing instead. Win! The food portions? HUGE. My fajitas were sizzling perfection--tender meat, just the right amount of peppers and onions, and all the fixings: guac, lettuce, cheese, salsa, tomatoes, and soft flour tortillas. So good. Five big ol' flavor booms. Hubby gave the pancakes two thumbs up--and he's picky about his pancakes, so that's saying something. Two hearty meals, drinks (yay for Diet Dr. Pepper!), friendly service, and all for around $45. Totally worth it. We'd go out of our way to eat here again on our return trip. Highly recommend this spot if you're anywhere near I-40 and need a satisfying, no-frills, home-style meal.

Given a choice between supporting a chain restaurant or a locally owned and run establishment,…read morelocal almost always gets support from me first. Awesome wifey found this spot during her research, so we had to check it out. The restaurant had loads of parking around it for cars and a reasonable sized lot next to it for trucks, buses and trailers. Our server managed the section of 6-8 tables well and refilled my sweet tea without request. She also brought out a basket of thin restaurant chips and salsa that was mildly hot and refreshingly flavorful. We ordered a stuffed Sopapilla which was very interesting--like a superior version of enchiladas; The Duke Burger which was bursting with flavors; and a Green Hill Chilli Burger which I found fascinating. The fries were superbly golden brown and had a particularly crispy exterior! We were so thrilled with our lunches that we ordered a piece of pie from the case. We were informed that a lady who was not an employee of the restaurant makes and sells them there. We did not catch the hint, and went ahead and ordered a Rhubarb Pie. It was a 2 star. Doughy crust, insipid filling--$4.50 mistake... That said, we will certainly return to visit whenever we pass through.

Total seating I estimate estimated to be about 40 people maximum. It's relaxed decor with a really outstanding mural covering the entire south indoor wall. The menu offers choices of American diner type food and a few Mexican dishes. I had the chili cheeseburger with a side of fries and friend had grilled cheese with fries. The cheeseburger was cooked to my specifications and came with onions, pickles lettuce. Very good flavor and a nice bun. The fries were done perfectly. The grilled cheese was a great comfort food. Prices are excellent. The service was good, considering the fact that one person seemed to be responsible for the entire dining area. Still, she was cheerful and efficient.

If you're anywhere near Moriarty and you're not eating at Lulu's Kitchen, what are you even doing?…read more Let's start with the burgers. These are thick, juicy, seasoned like someone cares burgers. Cooked perfectly, stacked generously, and messy in the most beautiful way. Two hands required. Zero shame involved. The red chile enchiladas? Absolutely elite. That red chile is rich, bold, and perfectly balanced -- smoky, flavorful, with just the right New Mexico kick. It tastes homemade because it is homemade. Comfort food that hugs you back and then asks if you want seconds. And the lemonade? Oh, they don't just pour lemonade. They handcraft it. Fresh-squeezed with different flavor options that actually taste natural and vibrant. It's refreshing, crisp, and the perfect match for everything on the menu. Now let's talk about the service, because wow. The staff is genuinely warm, attentive, and welcoming from the second you walk in. No fake smiles, no rushed vibes. They make you feel like you matter. Orders come out right and the whole place runs like a well-oiled machine. You can tell they care about the food and the people eating it. Great food is one thing. Great service takes it to another level. Five stars all day. I'll absolutely be back. .

Without food, but you could bring your own or order in. Nope, the brewery closes at 5:00 on a Saturday. We asked at our lodging about options, and Blackie's was on a list they gave us. Blackie's was classified on Yelp as only a liquor store, so it didn't show up on any searches. They do have a package liquor store on site as well. The front entry that is shared with the liquor store had bars on the doors. Inside, Blackie's had VFW/event hall vibes. There was not much to speak of in the way of decor. They did have food and you need to order from the Double C dining room server, which shares the space, and if you're sitting at the bar you'll have a separate tab. I was glad to see they had enchiladas with green or red chile sauce, and burgers with green or red chiles (1/2 pound or 1/3 pound). Prices were reasonable at $12-ish for a meal. The bar and neighboring large room featured pool tables and darts, and a 20-ish year old TouchTunes but there was no music playing. Sounds like after the dinner crowd leaves the music might get turned up. Our vantage point view was staring into an empty room with booths and wooden chairs, but eventually some people filed in there to play pool. There was no internet on our AT&T phones which led us to watch rodeo tv and talk to some of the customers. I drank vodka tonics and the Mr. had Coors Banquet. Our bar tab was cheap. Mr. R ordered the nachos, and they were pretty huge. I ordered enchiladas with green chile sauce and the presentation was quite nice and the beef tasted fresh. It was a good choice. People had to wait a bit at times for drinks, but overall this turned out to be a better stop than we expected!
