Pleasantly surprised. We stopped here on our way from Albuquerque to Durango because it had a large parking lot that would accommodate our trucks and travel trailers. It's not a fancy, write-home-to-Mom place, but the food was good diner food and the waitstaff was friendly. Additionally, the bathrooms were clean and tidy (always a plus when you've been on the road all day!).

Great food, excellent service, fast, and very friendly. I had the Navajo taco which was fresh and outstanding. Wife had prime rib special with corn on the cob, baked potato, watermelon, salad and we topped it off with the included brownies! The menu is extensive and ideal for families with wide tastes. Prices are excellent. The place is super clean. All around a great experience.

The sweet tea was stale and tasted like mold. Its been like that in the past as well. The fries were served cold, the rest of the meal was great, until I got down to the plate, where I discovered a long black hair under my food. When I showed it to the waitress, she said she would show it to the cook. End of story. No apology, no discount, nothing. The waitress had already left our ticket and never came out of the back until after we left. This used to be a good place to eat, but it gets worse with every visit. P.S. Ease yourself onto your seat if you choose a booth. There is almost no padding and you'll end up with a 2x4 bruise on your tailbone.

Waited at the bar stool area for 10 minutes and was promptly ignored. Asked for the French dip and literally was served it 5 minutes later. It wasn't terrible and they had fresh home made salsa so there's that. Weird part was that they were oddly friendly after they realized I was ignored for so long. Probably just a one off but I'm good with not going back. Also, stick with the Mexican, when I was walking out I saw some plates that I wish I had ordered instead...
