Really good NM comfort food. Very relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Great for what it is. Quirky owner? Let’s get serious!

Quirky joint, with a quirky owner, with good breakfast and New Mexico comfort food plus million dollar of the majestic Sandia Mountains.

Our Friday night date 10//26/12 - very clean, stylish but comfortably decorated - full house; did not need reservations - the best coleslaw I've EVER tasted...variety of fresh tasty entrée's. Perfect service - we highly recommend and looking forward to returning for breakfast.
