    You know what, heck yeah…read more Tucumcari is sleepy. And that's okay. A burger at Blake's, however, is not. It's good. Dare I say - it's even a little rowdy. I usually wind up here just passing through and have had a hard time finding something reliable that's Not A Chain, so this fits the bill. I rolled the dice and tried the online ordering, and my food was ready a lot faster than I thought it would be. Granted, I ordered an hour before closing (sorry) so your mileage may vary. It's a little on the expensive side, but whatever. It's like a hundred dollars to step out of your house anymore. I got out of here just under twenty bucks for a double New Mexico burger, a large fry, and a shake. The patties aren't really seasoned, but they're cooked well, and if you add the chopped chiles and some bacon, you'll be just fine. The seasoned fries are tasty. The shakes are average, but sometimes that chocolate syrup predictability is exactly what you need after hours of driving. The folks working here are friendly and diligent. So, despite the fact I spend most of my time in Tucumcari asleep, this burger definitely woke me up out of the zombie haze that i40 does to people. Looking forward to my next stop here. Don't let the lights on 66 go out. :)

    Great food, great service, what's not to love?…read more We ordered a couple burgers with various degrees of customization plus fries, onion rings, and a biscochito shake.

    Nope. Overcharged me by a lot. Burger price said 1.99 on the kiosk and register but when I went to…read morepay, it charged 3.69 per burger. Ordered three burgers but they didn't fix the price even after they worked trying to fix it to the price listed for several minutes. I said, well do you mind throwing in an extra fry since I am paying more than advertised? Nope. So silly and took forever without fixing the issue. They said when I checked out, "well thanks for bringing this to our attention." But I didn't get the advertised price. Makes no sense. Ugh. Annoying.

    Let me first start by saying I don't eat McDonald's but maybe twice a year. I'm not a fan of "fast…read morefood". So that's the primary reason for my mid rating. This particular McD's has very friendly employees in spite of it being a busy restaurant. My order came out hot. Which we know this is rare at any McDonald's. We all love when this happens.. because it means hot fries. My burger was a fresh as it can be for McD's. I had the double cheeseburger with green chilies which was a first for me. McD's needs to introduce this burger to other location in the US. It was surprisingly very good. It even gave a little kick of spicy heat. Which y'all know I didn't mind at all. I've added a photo.. but to be honest the photo doesn't do the burger justice. I totally recommend you try the burger. "I'm loving it!" lol!

    As good as a Taco Bell is gonna get it was ok...lol. Friendly service but staff unaware how to…read moreutilize mobile for customer orders. Only two staff working which I know Taco Bell's drive thru is a beast on most days. Tonight however was chill. The family and I wanted something quick and not too heavy. Nacho Bell Grandes and a one 5 layer burrito minus the sour cream. Ehhh.. The hot toppings on the Nachos appeared slopped on with no regards to presentation. It was quick I will give you that but I don't think quick over rules food preparation and presentation. In my younger years, I remember working at Taco Bell and our manager was really strict about presentation saying to the cooks, "If you wouldn't eat it that way don't serve it that way." These were my thoughts but the items were freshly made. I ran in to the establishment to grab an order I forgot through drive thru and observing the staff at drive thru taking orders (who will also take my order) she is literally stepping over trash. Like trash from the plastic cup sleeves and lids dropped, napkins, and straws whatever else was on the floor it looked like they got slammed and couldn't keep up. I highly recommend at a certain time they should shut the lobby so that they'll have time to properly prepare food and also clean. Allow the staff to concentrated on the drive thru and they can keep the backend tidy after all lobby the customers can see the ground in the back from the front counter....which isn't appealing. That is a staffing complaint not a particular staff problem.

I hate this place. and the owner he won't pay anybody to keep anybody there that's worth wild. The food itself is OK. It's not great. Nothing towards the employees they're good people, but nobody help. I just watch you while you stand there.

    Every time I visit Tucumcari, I eat at Dells, which is very good. But this time I'm trying…read moresomething different. I decided to try La Cita. I'm glad I did! 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.

    My girlfriend and I were very excited to try this place during our short stay in Tucumcari in hopes…read moreof some good, authentic Mexican food. Based off of the other Yelp reviews, I had high hopes, but unfortunately, we were let down by this place. We ordered online and ordered multiple different dishes in order to try them out. Here are the dishes that I got: Brisket Burrito: The meat was dried out and tasted several days old and reheated. The burrito also didn't seem to have the pan fried potatoes that were supposed to be in it. Tacos al Carbon: From the first bite I knew I wasn't going to eat these; the steak tasted weird, with a weird texture, and seemed old. Enchilladas: I got them with beef & green sauce; the beef had a decent flavor and texture. Stuffed Sopapilla: The sopapilla itself had a good comfort food type of taste and texture. I got it with beef & green sauce. The beef had a decent flavor and texture. As for the sides--the Mexican rice just tasted like salt, and the beans were bland and flavorless. If you're looking for fresh, yummy Mexican food--don't waste your money on this place. I have no idea how it has so many good Yelp reviews.
