Only problem was that good time starts at 5pm, and only on certain days of the week. Middle of the desert, at the cross of nowhere and won't find your body for years, is this epic drinkery. Decked out with dollar bills lining the ceiling and occupied by some of the nicest locals we met on our trip. If you're in the area (which is impossible) or needing a great place to hang out on a weekend night, this is it. Of course it's the only option for many miles, but we were not disappointed. According to the owners, they have some great local talent that plays on certain evenings. They have an awesome little venue that looks like a blast when they have a band. We picked out a couple tshirts as souvenirs and one of the patrons purchased our drinks on his tab . I promised to return upon our next New Mexico trip. I'll be more than delighted to drive there again, especially for some music and to see what the crowd looks like. Overall, awesome venue. Loss of one star for the lack of additional party hours, expensive merchandise ($60) for two tshirts and wayyyyy out in there drive. Everything else was exactly like we expected and more.

I'm a bourbon drinker, they had a variety of options - I ordered the old fashioned. They use their house rye - dry spell bourbon whiskey. Impressive old fashioned - Wife ordered the pineapple upside down drink ( from the secret menu! ) Drinks were $9, some were less. I bought a bottle of dry spell bourbon whiskey, good price $22. Really solid. I spoke to the bartender quite a bit. Asking questions how they started and such. They opened up about a year before Covid. Survived selling bottles Togo and hand sanitizer. Used cash to avoid 3.5% credit card charge. Bathroom was clean. Highly recommended. Support the local distillery!

Entering from the far left of the complex, you'll find a food truck behind the walls. And this is what Elephant Ranch is all about. I almost never order quesadillas. I'm a traditionalist who steers clear of Tex-Mex. But when the lady inside the truck tells you the Al Pastor Quesadilla is the best thing they serve, you get it and you don't ask questions! And it was soooo delicious! Beautifully melted pepper jack cheese entertains your taste buds. Spicy green chiles delight your senses. Marinated pork is found in every bite. And the homemade tortillas practically melt in your mouth. Elephant Ranch an oasis, a marvelous stop after 115 miles on eastbound Highway 70 without a single restaurant on the highway!
