    THERE ARE NO WORDS.... Perfection

    Stopped on our way to Las Cruces to visit family. Got lucky to be in Hatch the day the chile festival started. Town was jumping in a great way. Trucks carrying chiles, onions and pecans rolling through town how exciting. On to the absolutely fabulous and very affordable lunch we had. Husband had the double green chile cheese burger which was juicy and so flavorful.... I had single cheeseburger and stole a little of his green chile or and the fries were good too. Service was terrific and with a smile. We throughly enjoyed our lunch so much so that we didn't talk to each other until we were finished and patting our happy bellies

    Solid choice for breakfast or brunch, very reasonable prices and the chile is great. Bit spicy for me but the flavor was amazing.

    I came to this recommended hole in the wall local place for the famous breakfast burrito. It did not disappoint! You can tell this is a local joint. And got busy as the morning went on. Service was great. The place was decorated for Christmas. Looked like an elementary school room. LOL. I ordered the Mega burrito and a side of hash browns. Then it came out, OMG it was huge! The pictures do not do it justice. It was at least 10 in long and 5 inches around! What a deal. And it was packed with bacon, ham, sausage, eggs and hashbrowns. It was so dang good! I got it Christmas with red and green chilis. It was so dang good. I could not eat nearly half! Great deal for the money! Great local place in Hatch. Great breakfast. I want to try the green chili burger next!

    This is a friendly restaurant in Hatch. They serve breakfast until 11am. The green chile queso was flavorful without being hot. The chicken tacos were made with chunks of fajita chicken. Piled with lettuce and tomato, it made a pretty plate. The rice and beans were tasty and there was shredded cheese on the bean. The service was good without being too helpful. The bathroom was clean.

    Oh man! GREAT salsa.

    I hesitate to tell anyone about this place because - well, we got there just before noon and it was pretty full. It was then SOLIDLY full for the rest of the noon hour. All locals. They know what they're doing and they don't need any more business. But I have to say: this is the best chile I've had in Southern NM. Period. The red is as good as the best Norteño places (it's all different, but this is right up there with them), and that's saying something. The salsa is fantastic. The service is fast and they pay close attention to what you might need. The prices are reasonable. In all seriousness, I can see taking a jaunt from Albuquerque down to the Valley Cafe in Hatch just for a nice drive and to have a great lunch. Man, I'm so glad we stopped in. We WILL be back.

    We stopped in for breakfast. It was busy, but not chile fest busy. We had the two egg breakfast. It was all well done except the toast. Coffee was good, and waitress kept our cup full. Good but not great. Friendly feeling.

    The customer service was okay, but there is definitely room for improvement, particularly in attention to detail. For instance, I placed an order expecting a chile relleno burrito instead I received a different type of burrito, and my utensils were taken, leaving me without any. I had to go get some myself. My husband mentioned that his burrito contained hash browns, but since they are frozen, don't expect them to be fresh. On a positive note, the burrito I received was delicious and had just the right amount of spice, with a nice kick. My husband ordered the mega burrito, which was super big--double the size, as you can see in the picture. My daughter had a kids cheeseburger with bacon on the side, which was very tasty, the ambience is decent, It was halfway full nice. The green chili was flavorful and delicious.

    Great, solid burger joint in Hatch. There aren't many restaurants in Hatch..so Velley Cafe is definitely a great choice given quite limited options in town. But hey..since you are in Hatch where award winning green chilis are grown, you might as well have some food that puruse this wonderful NM staple as an ingredient. My partner and I opted for the green chili cheese burger. It does come with a choice of fries, onion rings etc...but of course the chilli cheeseburger is where this dish shines..esp if you want to sample and experience his new mexicans incorporate green chilis into their dishes. I found the lady at the counter very polite and helpful. You can seat yourself at a table inside of outside a shop. She made sure to come out to ensure our table was wiped clean...that we had the menus..got our orders in..and finally got our food in no time! Great option for sure if you happened to be in the road, found yourself visiting Hatch...or just passing thus town along your roadtrip. P.S. oh..and a complementary chips and salsa helped curb our hunger while we waited for our burgers, too!

    Stopped here for breakfast, but had a hard time finding the place. They are NOT at 355 but moved across the street. The new address is 360. Becky was our server & she was an absolute delight. The food was great & the service was even better. If we lived on Hatch, I'd eat here every day.

    Patty melt and fries
    Marcee K.

    Small town cafe, waitstaff was friendly and efficient. I had a cheeseburger with fries. Fries were not super crispy but bun was grilled. Husband has a patty melt and really liked the grilled onions. Everything was good and greasy. (This was a good thing, I didn't order a salad, lol) Only thing that was a bit disappointing was they were out of onion rings. Bottled cokes were served with ice. Easy to find, 2-3 outdoor tables. Inside was cool and fairly clean.

    Authentic is the word.

    Visited 2/22/2020 I was loving Authentic New Mexican Cuisine. Stoped in this little mom and pop New Mexican diner for breakfast. Wasn't expecting much but boy were we surprise. The Chorizo and Egg Burrito was fantastic especially with a side of fresh Hatch green chili sauce. Quite spicy but very satisfying. We also tried fresh hatch green chilie Relleno. OMG. They didn't look the greatest but damn they were delicious. I highly recommend this place if you want some authentic chili dishes.

    Was fortunate to get in for lunch before the rush, during the Chile festival. Had 2 Chile Rellenos, Christmas style & they were excellent!! Best that I had during my visit to Hatch, NM The burger was a smash burger, had good flavor, but burger meat was so thin. Sparky's was the best burger of the 4, that we tried in town. We're in search of the best green chile burger & the best Chile Rellenos. It's become one of life's missions or an obsession. Either way, it's a win win for the tastebuds & belly. Will definitely be back for more Chile Rellenos. Thanks & stay safe!!
