The service and kitchen seemed a bit overwhelmed. However, the New Mexican food was fantastic! Overall, I’d rate the service a 3 and the location a 5.

There is a lot of hiking and day trip opportunities just steps away from this gorgeous sun drenched little burg. But today it was cold as a Wells Digger Butt. Only 6 degrees. We stopped at the Shaffer Hotel which shares a building with the restaurant and according to signage a ghost or 2. The waitress was very nice. The interior design was very eclectic and extremely Southwestern busy...I ordered a Iced tea With lemon And BLT on toast with French fries Tony ordered a Iced tea also with a burger. Our food was very good. Definitely will go back if ever in the area. Highly recommend for toy to check it out, it's awesome!!! Service: 5

There was a horrid fly problem, we were swatting flies off our food so much it was super distracting. My burger was overdone and dry but still tasty. Location is meh, Mountainair is a horrible little stain on an otherwise beautiful NM countryside. It's probably worth visiting once (the drive south from tijeras is gorgeous), if only to satisfy your curiosity before confirming to yourself it's nowhere you'll ever visit again. Service: 4
