Great food and the people running it are so friendly! A go to stop whenever we go through Poncha!

We popped in for a quick lunch while utilizing the supercharger next door. It’s definitely a mix between ~dive bar mom n pop gas station diner~ It feels a lil grimy, and I wouldn’t want to sit on anything cushioned. With very little effort (ie just cleaning up a bit) this could be such a cute place. There are two tables and 4 barstool spaces. If you sit at the “bar” you’re right in front of the washrooms. That being said, the food was really tasty albeit on the pricey side. We ordered a club sandwich, Reuben, and fries. Sandwiches were about $14.50 and adding fries and a medium drink is $4.50 extra (their sign says half orders are available). So when my fries came out room temperature I immediately asked for fresh fries. The guy behind the counter complied with no issue, and it didn’t take long for the new fries to come out. They were super hot and nice n crispy, soooo much better than the first batch. My husband ate his Reuben so quickly I couldn’t even get a picture. The club was fresh, a large portion, and very tasty. Perfect after a long drive. The Diet Pepsi seemed a bit watered down, so with my refill I went full sugar and it was much better. They make everything fresh so we did wait maybe 10-15 mins for food, but once we got it I was happy we waited. Overall Mabel’s food was great, but if you’re after a cute space and vibes, I’d probably suggest heading into Salida for some better options.

Best little pit stop around!

It's a family-owned adorable little deli that offers gas as well as snack accommodations. Me and my husband have been stopping here every chance we get. There's also a Tesla charging stasia within walking distance.

Incredibly good food, terrific view of the mountains, and the friendliest staff around. Go here for awesome food even if you don’t need gas. A gem in the valley!
I always stop in when needing to charge my car. Staff is always friendly.

Locally owned! One of the most diverse menus in town. We’ve had breakfast, lunch and dinner from the menu and all of it was great. Staff had always had a smile and treated us with kindness. We look forward to coming back again soon!
We make a point of stopping here every time we drive through Poncha! Everything is made to order, which may take a little bit longer than a fast food joint, but that’s what makes it so good! The menu is extensive and EVERYTHING we have had has been great whether it was breakfast, lunch or dinner. We hope we will be back again soon ??
