"If you get off I-10 while traveling, you'll likely just dart into Applebee's or Cracker Barrel. Chain places. We all do when we are traveling. Please stop that and go here. Finally broke out of my breakfast routine here and ordered the Mesilla Queso burger. Lordy! What a thing...nice size patty, lots of green chile and queso. But the muffin/biscuit thing was a LOT of mushy bread. Ask for it without the top part of the bun. This was delish! Go with the fries though. The o-rings were kinda bland. We frequent this place every Saturday for breakfast. The chicken fried steak and eggs and the Rio Grand hash plate (get the green) is plenty of food with LOTS of flavor. The pancake is as big as a car wheel and a Mexican Coke with anything is always good. And seriously, the cook knows how to baste an egg. You know how many people say they do and don't. But the last time we popped in it was near lunch time. So I went with the burger. Glad I did. I'll branch out more with the menu now. We love this place. It's not much to look at but the service is friendly and on point. It can take forever to get your food out. Seriously...like forever sometimes. That's why 4 and not 5 stars. But if you have the time for a leisurely meal and some hand made grub...this is your spot."
