I visited on a Monday evening, around 5pm. That's usually the time us old folks eat. I had no issue getting a table. Promptly seated, I ordered a beer and my dinner. The menu is a good mix, something for everyone. I ordered the Chili Rellenos. Of course I ordered that. Hey, when in Rome..... My meal was served quick and hot. Waiting a minute to cool was definitely in the cards. No problem, I had my beer, salsa and chips to occupy me while the steam settled. After a bit, I dug in. First fork was the rice. Oh, was that rice ever good! The only problem was that there wasn't enough. I suggest that you order a side of that glorious grain. Fantastic! The refried beans, well, were ok, but just ok. The Hatch greenies, as you'd expect, were outstanding and very flavorful. I ordered them Christmas style, with green and red sauce. Both of those condiments were tasty, but of the two, the green sauce stood out. Boy did it ever. I'll be dreaming of that sauce later tonight. Hopefully my girlfriend doesn't pop into the picture.....OR, maybe she should! LoL, now that would be a dream! Don't worry about parking, as there is more than ample. You can park in the front, the back, either side, and if you're driving a big rig, pulling a trailer, or driving a tank, they've got you covered. Across the street is special parking for those vehicles. More parking outside than tables inside. Pay La Cita a visit for a romantic dinner, or as I did, by yourself....my dream trend may have helped with that. Hey, I may be old, but certainly not dead! Quick Tip: I parked in the back, and when leaving, I took the dirt alley. It was a fun adventure. I'd suggest that you do it during daylight hours though. You never know who you'll run into, or for that matter, over! Let's hope it isn't Skinny Pete or Badger.

Texas Toast with a burger patty, grilled onions, fries, cheese and (here is where it changes) a choice of white gravy, brown gravy, Red Sauce or Green Sauce. Also known as Horseshoes! I chose the red sauce and it was delicious. Perfectly medium Rare. My only complaint was the onions. When I hear "grilled onions" I think soft and caramelized. The onions I recieved didn't even seem to touch the pan. But it was still a delicious dish. The waitress was great! Wonderful sense of humor. Did everything she could to make us feel comfortable and happy. Well done! The diner was just that...a typical Route 66 Roadside Diner ... but elevated. I would definitely go again to try their breakfast and/or dinner. I would recommend this diner to anyone!

We were told to sit where we liked walking in so we grabbed a booth and our server brought over menus and took our drink requests. The Bee themed interior carries throughout the restaurant. A simple menu, after giving it a look I opted for their chili dog with fries and a bowl of their red chili. The dog was okay, nothing special more like I made it at home? It was just a chili dog. Not bad, bad great just okay. Same with the chili, actually mine is better. It was more like chili soup than actual chili? A bit on the watery side. The lunch was okay, and nothing beyond that. Friendly service and on the cheap side price wise, and it reflects that in the food. 3 Stars it served its purpose 01320

Pat's is a local staple in Portales and comes highly recommended by the local residents. Always see…read morea crowd of people during lunch or dinner time hours waiting for their food. Very similar to The Hat's style of food/ordering - no tables or chairs, so most of the time customers take the food to-go or eat in their cars. I was told that their tater tots with chili and cheese, mozzarella cheese sticks, and green chile cheese burger are really good. But seeing from the reviews, it seems like their shakes, malts, and cyclones are also incredibly popular as well! It was a necessity that I try the milkshake or ice cream before I left Portales. Coming back from a last minute trip to Lubbock, we stopped by Pat's to get some ice cream before calling it a day. I tried the butterscotch ice cream in a small cup, but what was given to me was a huge Styrofoam cup filled with ice cream. It was super creamy and soft, but tasted more like vanilla with butterscotch drizzled around the ice cream. However, after sticking the ice cream in the freezer for awhile and eating it later, it became super thick and heavy, and started to taste like Play-doh. I think you have to eat it right away or else it doesn't taste fresh anymore. My friend said her chocolate ice cream was good and fulfilled her chocolate craving! Food-wise, if you plan to order from Pat's, give yourself some cushion time because they do take awhile before they call your number to give you your food. The tater tots with chili and cheese - it was pretty good; I definitely regretted eating it once I finished, but I thought there was a good amount of chili and cheese on top of the tater tots that most of the potatoes were covered. Eating it relatively soon is key or else everything becomes mushy. I also tried the regular green chile burger without cheese - I don't think I remember it tasting too out of the ordinary. It really resembled a regular chili burger. Taste was good, and overall the burger was super filling. The tater tots and burger were probably not the healthiest meal for me, but I do think it's a good indulgent meal to have every so often! I can see why it's pretty popular in Portales. tl;dr - Solid take-out food at pretty cheap prices. Recommend the tater tots and the burgers. I wasn't able to try the Cyclones or milkshakes, but I've heard good things about those items as well! Minimum order of $5 in order to use credit card I believe.

Not even a single bench or picnic table so be prepared to take it home or eat in the Jeep! The service was so-so on August 3, 2026. It took a while to get my order, but of course I was the first in line right at opening time. They offer a Daily Specials menu, but I stuck with a small Sprite, tater tots, and chile cheeseburger. I had stated that they only sauce I like is mayonnaise only to find freakin' mustard on my bread. The green chiles had a kick and were chopped rather nicely. As a newbie, I didn't understand the drive-thru or walk-up situation or even where to park at first. Locals came and parked a totally different way than I did. Lol... It gets loud waiting for your food - in which case they just kind of yell at you when your order's ready - but the street is right there and big rigs were passing through one after another. It seems like a swell place for said locals, but I can't imagine going here again.
