We came here for dinner during our Route 66 road trip (detouring into Las Vegas). What a cool place--a real throwback to my childhood. The food was fine and the service friendly. Great retro place to experience dinner like your parent or grandparents once did.
Love this local favorite! Its been here for decades because of the awesome quality! I have come here since I was a little girl! The service is not only wonderful but they treat you like family!! Family owned and operated. Support Local!! Eat delicious food!! Win win!
Oh my! Pulled into this little gem. Was greeted right away from a very nice lady. She told us it was going to be a little longer than usual wait due to staff shortages. We gladly waited. Sure am glad that we did! I am a taco lover....never heard of Burnt cheese tacos... my taco life will never be the same. They are AMAZING! All of our food was great and the friendliness of the staff and other customers was amazing. If we ever find ourselves back in Las Vegas, NM we will gladly return!
Since 1949..........are you kidding? There must be only a dozen restaurants across America, in small towns, that are even 25 years-old, let alone 72 years!
Hahaha....I rolled into Las Vegas late one night and searched up and down the strip for a motel room. Couldn't find a single one in July.2021. Of course I did have special needs: my 10 1/2 year-old companion, Raji, a 120 lb. Rottweiler. I needed a dog-friendly motel.
Luckily, when I was about to hit the road and just continue driving to Raton where I usually stay at my favorite motel, the Robinhood Motel, I stopped by the Budget Inn and met Jay, the reservationist. Cool as Paul Newman in his famous role, Jay smiled, welcomed me and Raji, and I had a room. Better than that, I asked is ther anywhere in Las Vegas that I can still get a quick meal other than the usual chain fast-food places. Jay explained that the bar next door was associated with The Hillcrest and was still open for another 35 minutes. I walked over to nirvana and had a beer and wonderful chicken sandwich at the bar. So nice...........
The Hiilcrest is a unique place. Next visit, I'll eat in their dining room, a special place that looks like Audy Hepburn or Spencer Tracy might walk in at any moment. At least I will and shall eat happily waiting for the ghostly guests to show.
The baked lasagna was amazing as well as the tuna melt! Ashley is the sweetest girl! Be sure if you come to this place that you understand they are short staffed but they work very very hard and they're very good at what they do.
Very friendly service. Quaint place. Food was pretty good. I had patty melt, fries..husband had tamales which he reported were very spicy but he opted for the spicier ones without knowing that.
