The service varies from good to poor, often poor.

But I go there for the green chile cheeseburgers, and I find it worth the wait.

They have a breakfast menu too, but I have not tried their breakfast burritoes yet.

Ah.. like IHOP. Their slogan should be "Great Pancakes-Crappy Service"

Gotcha. I'll have to check it out, and warn Greg. He does spicy, but not too spicy- he's gettin' better though.

When you and your wife are enjoying your leftover "life by chocolate" and "death by lemon" desserts while sitting on a huge boulder next to a hot spring in the Jemez Mountains staring at the bright blue sky.. then...

You know you are in New Mexico.

....when returning after a trip to anywhere else you can feel your skin drying.

....when the setting sun is showing on the distance peaks in reds and pinks.
