    My fajita salad. Tasty beef. I think it could be improved if there were beans or some sort of salsa added to the lettuce.

    In the middle of nowhere, New Mexico, dining choices can be limited. Most likely, this is the best place to stop for miles around. We ate lunch here on the way from Carrizozo to Santa Fe via back roads. I ordered the fajita salad, while he had the chile rellenos. My salad was a decent size but nothing fancy. Glad I asked for the beef as it was quite tasty and rescued an otherwise average meal. I added the pinto beans from his rellenos to give it a little more flavor. He said the chile was good, both red and green, so the rellenos get a thumbs-up. The sopapillas were great and service excellent, so, for the middle of nowhere, not bad.

    Food and service was very good for an out-of-the-way place. New Mexico is an amazing place but do not tell anyone.

    My favorite place to eat in all of Eastern New Mexico. The staff is so great and the food is out of this world!

    I lived in NM for 12 years and this was my favorite place to stop by for a green chile cheeseburger.
