“This place is my absolute favorite place in the entire state of New Mexico! It’s a pub but the food amazing! I always get the chicken fried chicken. The best part is the green Chile gravy that they top it off with. The Nachos are a must all you need is a half size because the full is for a family. Which Let me tell you they are generous with their portions! Also the prices you can’t beat them. It’s a drive but totally worth it! I could eat there every day! Ask for crystal as your server she’s the sweetest and best server there! Also kids are welcomed, awesome place to watch a football game. ”
