“What a wonderful Cafe owned by a lovely family who are happy and give great service. They were busy with the breakfast crowd but we didn't mind the wait and our delicious food came really fast. My hubby said the coffee was very good. It was a treat to have sopapillas since it has been while. It's a very clean and well run business. 5+ stars from us traveling from Nebraska to Arizona. Stop in and enjoy it yourself.”

“Very good food (some homemade), excellent service, very reasonable prices. Our waitress wore a pink bow in her hair and a cancer survivor t-shirt. She took great care of us.”
Mediterranean • $
“Fantastic fresh food. Amazing Oasis salad. I appreciated this salad after not-so-great food while I was traveling. Family run. Super service. Delicious. I am definitely returning when I'm in Gallup. The perfect place to stop for excellent fresh food when you are traveling. Many thanks to owners.”
Pizza • $
“As another reviewer had mentioned, we tried Pizza Edge after a long drive. It’s a small simple pizza place in a shopping plaza. But what a pleasure the pizza and wings were. The wings had a good amount of meat and the hot sauce was both flavorful and spicy enough for someone who enjoys significant heat in their sauces. We enjoyed the pizza as well. Good flavor, hot out of the oven and both thin and crispy. To top off the experience, we had a very polite Staff member waiting on us. Overall a great experience.”
Diner • $
“Really good green chile (spicy) and healthy portions. My wife and I had omelets and we both really enjoyed them. Old school diner with friendly wait staff and good salsa!”

“Ate here for the first time today. The place was really busy. But we were seated immediately and our server greeted us right away. She was very friendly and efficient. Our order came out surprisingly quick! The food was tasty. The portion was huge! Plus we got complimentary chips and salsa.
I must recommend Don Diego’s. Even though they were busy, they provided fantastic service and quality.”

Sandwich Shop • $
“Stopped in for a sandwich and it was great. Don't be put off by the prices. I got a 6 inch sub and it was enough for 2 meals. First of all I would say the sub was more like 8-9 inches, and it was generously filled. They also threw in 2 small bags of chips at no extra charge. Definitely one of the best sub sandwiches I've had in a long time. Would definitely go back if I was local.”

“THE BEST FOOD YOU WILL EVER EAT! My family and I just drove 24 hours from Lenoir NC to New Mexico then another 2 hours to 505 Burgers & Wings that we HIGHLY RECOMMEND after eating there for the first time ever! Our delicious order of Mango Habanero wings.. Teriyaki wings…Jalapeño burger and small order of fries that really looked like a huge order of fries were served quickly and were AMAZING! Our wonderful waitress did an excellent job of taking care of us along with the chef who cooked our fantastic food to perfection! 505 Burgers & Wings is DEFINITELY WORTH the drive! Have a Blessed Christmas and New Year 505 Burgers & Wings until next time! The Davidson Tribe Lenoir NC 12-16-2025”

“My husband and I wanted something quick but didn’t feel like fast food. We stumbled upon this little spot off the beaten path — and wow, what a find! Local is always the way to go. The owner is a hardworking family man taking care of his handicapped son, and you can feel the heart in every dish. Authentic New Mexican food — flavorful, fresh, and worth the drive! Exit 17 off Highway 40 — don’t miss it! 🌮🌶️”

Don’t pass up on one of the Burgers, they are all char‑grilled over live mesquite coals, juicy, flavorful, and expertly seasoned.
The portions are very generous and the food is reasonably priced.”

“Angela’s is a very special place. Where else can you get quality hand made soups n sandwiches in a historic Gallup
building with white table clothes? I’ve never had anything but fantastic food and pleasant conversation there. I always lunch at Angela’s when I’m in a business run to Gallup. I’ve been a loyal customer for years.”

“I have commented some years before about this place. The Menudo then was out of this world but with the changings that have happened, the taste is not there as before. The fullness of the flavor is weak. The times that I have been there, the beef tripe is hardly in the servings, very small pieces. The price you pay for is more for the posole. I hate to say but as being a cook myself, the cook that was there before made it really good compared to now. The service is good thought.”

“Forget all the negative comments on the Staff and the customer service being horrible. The food we ordered was made with love. The mother daughter cooks in the back know what they’re doing. We ordered roast/rib mutton sandwiches, Navajo burger, dumpling stew, and Navajo taco. The portion sizes and tortillas/frybread were tasteful. Green chile was hot and great texture. Environment was clean and cool for a hot summer day.”

tried the House, Prickly Pear and Cadillac margaritas ) but her Old Fashioned cocktails are amazing and she is just as sweet and pleasant as can be! The atmosphere of the bar is so fun with great music and amazing stained glass paintings. Go and enjoy Hannah!”

“Wow! I dont think I have EVER experienced customer service as good as this in Gallup. Patterson and Charmayne delivered stellar customer service that made our visit to Subway extra enjoyable. They made us feel like a mullion bucks when we walked in. Nothing we asked was beyond them or something they couldn't do for us. They had a great attitude and I didn't feel like I was a problem as a customer. Attention SUBWAY! You don’t want to lose those two!”

“After a wild hangover, I went to the restaurant on a Saturday afternoon and ordered a large menudo but they were out, however, they made me a new batch from scratch and it was delicious. Some restaurants just say they are out and that’s it. La Carreta apologized for the wait to get it done but I didn’t mind one bit and enjoyed the chips and salsa in the meantime. That was excellent customer service. The food is exquisite. Try it out if you get a chance.”

“Wow! It’s rare that you can find a spot such as Avalon, being my first time here I was hesitant. As the saying goes, never judge a book by its cover rings true here.Having a simple menu that don’t have you stress trying to figure out what to get (being an indecisive person this awesome), the fast service made the visit even more great. My parents usually don’t like eating out in Gallup due to vendors coming every minute as your mouth has food in your mouth, Avalon’s no vendor policy allowed for a more private and eased meal.”
