Sandwich Shop • $
“While traveling from Denver to Phoenix on a long road trip, we stumbled upon Westend Donut & Deli for lunch—and what a hidden gem it turned out to be! The service was impressively quick, and the sandwiches were absolutely incredible. Packed with perfectly portioned, flavorful meats, and served on soft, warm bread toasted to perfection, every bite was a delight. The friendly and welcoming staff made the experience even better. If you’re in the area, don’t miss the chance to stop by this deli—you won’t regret it!”

“What a wonderful Cafe owned by a lovely family who are happy and give great service. They were busy with the breakfast crowd but we didn't mind the wait and our delicious food came really fast. My hubby said the coffee was very good. It was a treat to have sopapillas since it has been while. It's a very clean and well run business. 5+ stars from us traveling from Nebraska to Arizona. Stop in and enjoy it yourself.”

“The green chile ham burrito was delicious! Very tasty, chile mild but good. For under $8 it's absolutely worth it, they are pretty big! I will be back for sure and try other stuff! Yummm!!”

“Cute place, and very quick! We stopped here for lunch while passing through Gallup, and it is an institution to the area. It was very busy when we got there, as it was lunch time on a Saturday. Most tables were full, with a line forming by the time we were leaving. It's right off the highway, so it's an easy and convenient stop, and they have a handle on getting people in and out quickly.
My husband got a sort of open face chili burger and I got a cheeseburger. My husband thought his food was great and got maybe halfway through it, good portion size. My burger was pretty basic. It kind of reminded me of the burger you'd get at a big family bbq, grilled patty, standard toppings, nothing fancy. Not bad at all, just simple, and does the trick. Our waiter, Dean, was wonderful! Friendly, attentive, and quick. Drinks came quickly, food came not long after ordering, and we never needed anything. The vibe inside is very classic diner, casual and welcoming.
They do also incorporate a Native American market, so artists and vendors walk from table to table selling jewelry and art. It's a really unique experience, I wasn't expecting it, but it felt like we were experiencing local culture.”

“We detoured on our route from Chicago to Phoenix for a Blake’s green chile cheese burger, and it did not disappoint! Great taste and good green chile kick! Wonderful waitstaff (super fast, kind, and helpful)! Why don’t you allow tipping? These folks work hard!”

“I have commented some years before about this place. The Menudo then was out of this world but with the changings that have happened, the taste is not there as before. The fullness of the flavor is weak. The times that I have been there, the beef tripe is hardly in the servings, very small pieces. The price you pay for is more for the posole. I hate to say but as being a cook myself, the cook that was there before made it really good compared to now. The service is good thought.”

“After a wild hangover, I went to the restaurant on a Saturday afternoon and ordered a large menudo but they were out, however, they made me a new batch from scratch and it was delicious. Some restaurants just say they are out and that’s it. La Carreta apologized for the wait to get it done but I didn’t mind one bit and enjoyed the chips and salsa in the meantime. That was excellent customer service. The food is exquisite. Try it out if you get a chance.”
Chicken • $
“This KFC was my favorite KFC in Gallup until tonight. I did a drive through and the girl at the window was very rude. First to begin we placed three orders one was upside. She gave us the drink. We explained and she offered no apologies. Then we stopped to check our order as the door was already closed and there were no one behind us. She looked out the window and told us, "I am on a timeline." I believe that that was rude, so I made a call to the restaurant and the person who answered the phone said, "THAT IS WHAT WE DO." To me they are saying we take your money, get the hell out of here, I am done with you.”

“Don't let the unassuming exterior of this place fool you; definitely give it a try! I was a little unsure about what to order at first, so I did a little research. I ended up getting the chicken masala with white rice and a side of garlic naan, and it was the perfect choice.
The food was served incredibly warm and was absolutely delicious. The entire experience was great, from ordering at the counter to being shown to a table. The staff, especially the waiter, was very welcoming and made me feel right at home. I'll definitely be back soon to try more of their dishes!”
