Quaint place, with an “Indian cowboy” look. Food is fantastic. The “hole in the wall” aspect is somehow a cover: for instance, they take all major credit cards, including American Express. Still a fantastic, inexpensive place to have breakfast or brunch. I had the special (Huevos Rancheros) and they were great.

Ordered the chicken fried steak breakfast, but didn't want regular gravy on it asked if I could have it smothered with green chili sauce instead! The chicken fried steak breakfast came with two eggs(any style), hash browns, two pancakes, and coffee I was stuffed when I exited the restaurant! The green chili smother chicken fried steak was excellent, service was great, I probably had five cups of coffee and never once did I have to ask for it!

This is a quiet and friendly spot on Route 66. The burgers are fantastic—I tried one with green chilies, bacon, and cheddar, and it was delicious, accompanied by crinkle-cut fries. Everything we had was great. Their breakfast is amazing too; I recommend trying the French toast and the ranch-roasted steak next!

This is a small local restaurant that is definitely the place for breakfast. The staff is courteous and the establishment is clean. From traditional to Mexican flair it is all here and yummy. All located on Route 66, what's not to love about that!
