Chili Hills II

We were traveling Route 66 and stopped in for a piece of pie. Great is all I can say!

Stopped in on a cross country move. Had been looking forward to some local New Mexican food for some time. We used to live in Taos and couldn’t wait to have a good smothered burrito with red or green chile.
We were not disappointed. The restaurant was bright, clean and the service was excellent. Carne Adovada tacos and smothered burritos were just as yummy as we had hoped. Pinto beans were slow cooked, soft, creamy and smokey flavored. Picky 12 yr-​old thought the ambiance was just fine. Local diners are generally not his thing. We finished off with a fresh baked piece of Rhubarb pie. One of the best meals we’ve had on the road this trip.

I guess they didn’t like our looks, because we waited for around 35 minutes and received nothing from our order, only our drinks. Finally, we asked and they shrugged and said that they had lost our ticket.
There was nothing wrong with the diet cokes. But WAY TOO MUCH WRONG WITH THE SERVICE!!!
NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL.

This was recommended by the hotel staff at the Best Western. Man were they on target. Food was great and plenty of it. On the Friday we were there, there was a singer. He was great as well. Sounded just like Johnny Cash. Wait staff were friendly and seemed very genuine. Try the stuffed soapapila. You’ll be stuffed too. Very nice small town diner. Just what you need after a long day driving. If you stay in nearby Albuquerque you’re sure to pay twice as much but without the authenticity of a real family diner.

We were in town for a wrestling tournament and this place was near our hotel. We decided to stop despite the one negative review because another review mentioned homemade pie and my husband was convinced.
This place was clean and the customer service was OUTSTANDING! The owners were there and they made us feel like we were joining them for dinner in their home. We had 5 in our party and the food came out quickly and was very tasty.
My husband had the chili hills breakfast with eggs, bacon, hash and pancakes. He thought it was very good. I had the stuffed sopapilla with beans shredded beef. It was tasty and he red chile was tasty and not too spicy. Kids had bean burritos, chicken sandwiches and breakfast hash and corn beef. Everyone enjoyed it and no complaints.
Of course we had to try the pies! We tried the peach, apple, and pecan. ALL delish! My very picky eater son tried the Oreo pie and didn’t care for the filling because he didn’t like pudding and when the owner asked us how we like the pie he told her it was ok! I was mortified! She insisted he choose another pie and was so sweet. He had the chocolate cake and loved it!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

OUTSTANDING!!!
We had the steak fajitas for 2. Flavor was excellent. The owner makes her own pies
I had the cherry. My wife had the coconut cream. OMG!!!
We drive I-​40 three times a year. This is now a scheduled stop

I had the taco plate with chicken and carne tacos. The chicken was this nasty pink mush that kind of tasted like vomit. The carne was also mushy and slightly better, though smothered in a sauce that tasted like the cook messed up the recipe. Beans were flavorless, taco shells were stale, rice was ok, but not good.
