“2/21/24: Nice place for a break in your trip. Plenty of parking for m/c, cars, rv. Parking might be a problem for 18 wheelers. Drive through window available. They have some nice outside areas to lounge in, walk pets, etc. Friendly service, fresh baked goods. I think they sometimes host music events, but nothing like that going on when I stopped.”
“I have eaten there twice. I don't know why on both occasions I had to ask for chips and salsa when the menu says it comes with the meal. The food is very good. Service is not great.”
“We got stuck in a snowstorm and pulled over at this gas station for a potty break. It turned out to be a full blown restaurant! Their frybread and tacos were excellent.”
“I can't say enough about the service. Great waitress. The biscuit was the best I've ever had, for a biscuit! I had chicken fried steak, fries, cream gravy, small salad. Tasty! The fries were a little over cooked. Good meal. I'll be back to try the huevos.”
“I had a perfectly cooked and utterly delicious burger stacked high with fresh lettuce and tomato, green chile and melted cheese. Also ordered a side of beans which were also particularly good and a provided me with energy until late into the night. If you are hungry in Cuba you don’t have a lot of choices- so pull in, meet a dog, and enjoy a delicious home cooked meal at Mel’s.Vegetarian options also include mac n cheese, cole slaw and potatoes. Incredible value to boot.”
“Cuba becomes that "wide spot in the road" Driving from Albuquerque to Farmington. I highly suggest one makes one schedule fit to be hungry and ready for a break as you pass through Cuba NM and stop in. You won't be disapointed.”
“A really nice restaurant serving excellent authentic New Mexican food, the staff were attentive and extremely pleasant. It's a pity I live 5000 miles away or I would be back often!”
“I love this place. Red and Green Chile is always great here! I come here so much. I feel like I memorized the menu and can get a job here. Lol. My favorite is the Red Chile Huevos Rancheros with Over Easy Eggs! Perfect every time I get it!!!! The food and atmosphere bring back so many memories of being a child. Pres has my heart for sure! Every time I visit home, NM, this is my go-to spot. ❤️”
“When you go to a McDonald's, it's the same as the last one. No surprises, everything goes great. That's why you get 5 stars . You can count on them to get what you ordered no matter where you are.”
“We stopped here since nothing else looked decent, and we were blown away! So gosh darn good!! I had the bao buns with bbq beef and I was mind blown!If you pull up and see a food truck don’t freak out its worth it!!! ”
