“2/21/24: Nice place for a break in your trip. Plenty of parking for m/c, cars, rv. Parking might be a problem for 18 wheelers. Drive through window available. They have some nice outside areas to lounge in, walk pets, etc. Friendly service, fresh baked goods. I think they sometimes host music events, but nothing like that going on when I stopped.”
“I have eaten there twice. I don't know why on both occasions I had to ask for chips and salsa when the menu says it comes with the meal. The food is very good. Service is not great.”
“We got stuck in a snowstorm and pulled over at this gas station for a potty break. It turned out to be a full blown restaurant! Their frybread and tacos were excellent.”
“This is one of those unassuming little roadside stops that ends up having delicious food. The first time I visited was purely by chance during a raid trip back from Oregon. Now, my teenage boys and I have made it a new student driver's rite of passage to make the hour and 15 min drive out to Cuba for lunch at Mel's. Very reasonably priced, the staff have always been welcoming and friendly and the food puts all the fast food chicken to shame.”
“I can't say enough about the service. Great waitress. The biscuit was the best I've ever had, for a biscuit! I had chicken fried steak, fries, cream gravy, small salad. Tasty! The fries were a little over cooked. Good meal. I'll be back to try the huevos.”
“True New Mexican Landmark. My wife has been eating there since the 90's. Great food, green and red Chile were both excellent, large portions and great Sopaipillas!! I STRONGLY RECOMMEND!”
“A really nice restaurant serving excellent authentic New Mexican food, the staff were attentive and extremely pleasant. It's a pity I live 5000 miles away or I would be back often!”
“I love this place. Red and Green Chile is always great here! I come here so much. I feel like I memorized the menu and can get a job here. Lol. My favorite is the Red Chile Huevos Rancheros with Over Easy Eggs! Perfect every time I get it!!!! The food and atmosphere bring back so many memories of being a child. Pres has my heart for sure! Every time I visit home, NM, this is my go-to spot. ❤️”
“When you go to a McDonald's, it's the same as the last one. No surprises, everything goes great. That's why you get 5 stars . You can count on them to get what you ordered no matter where you are.”
“We stopped here since nothing else looked decent, and we were blown away! So gosh darn good!! I had the bao buns with bbq beef and I was mind blown!If you pull up and see a food truck don’t freak out its worth it!!! ”
