Reviews
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.
If you want to go where the locals go, this is it. We were on the hunt for green chili cheeseburgers, and these were absolutely the best. You'll know as soon as you walk through the door that you are about to have a fantastic meal - the nose knows! Friendly service in a no-frills atmosphere - it is what it is, a fantastic small town restaurant.
Solid choice for breakfast or brunch, very reasonable prices and the chile is great. Bit spicy for me but the flavor was amazing.
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.
Food was good & well prepared. Price was reasonable and service was good. We had fried eggs & ham n cheese omelette.
