I've been here before when passing through the area, and stopped again today for coffee but decided to stay for breakfast too. Great little small town cafe packed with that wonderful combination of colorful locals and interesting fellow travelers. Actually met a guy from Sun Prairie WI this morning. He lives just 10 miles from me. Ordered the corned-beef hash and eggs. Delicious! Clearly homemade and the best I've ever had. Nice job Ella's - I'll be back again!

Close to home cooked! We visited on a weekday for late lunch, only 2 other tables were seated. My beef burrito, Christmas, was huge and filled with beef although it was more like a cross cut roast than a shredded style. There wasn't the usual heavy flour tortilla globs folded under the ends, as is often found on a burrito that big. Completely tender, there was nothing left on my plate. My spouse had the 3 tostada plate with the same flavorful beef and was pleased. He enjoyed the beans. They were whole, NM style, like his family traditionally made. He was not a fan of the pico as it was overwhelmed by cilantro. I spooned a bit of my red and green onto his plate and that worked for him. My #1 reason for 5 stars? Someone in the kitchen knows that salt can always be added, but not taken away. Our taste is for straight flavors, simple and fresh. Packaged food and pre mixed spice "blends" rely heavily on salt and when you eliminate these conveniences, the true flavors become more appealing and typical restaurant fare is no longer acceptable. I noticed the meals being brought to other patrons and wow those burgers and fries would be a real treat. Maybe next time?

I ordered a bowl of chili. They brought me a small dish with red chili sauce. Oops. Wrong way to label a salsa.A bowl of chili is beans with small pieces of meat in a Chile stew.So I sent it back.

Food is boom and service is good and the workers are very friendly! The place is a bit cramped but I suggest eating her 100%!
A very nice place. Clean and tidy. Good food. Not excellent got to have more but has a taste like you expected I had a breakfast burro. Like I say good. I give this place a 4 or higher than average for nice people, good food and very nice decoure/look. Rustic south west.
