Take a step back in time! Love how this restaurant has that old 50s diner vibe. We appreciated the large portions, quick service, and reasonable prices. My husband tried Carne Adovada for the first time and he loved it! I had my typical breakfast burrito Christmas style. Fun road trip stop. You don’t be disappointed.

Route 66 Diner This place is like a trip back in time to a 50s diner you would expect in Happy Days. I ordered chorizo eggs, hash browns and refried beans. Perfectly seasoned and piping hot. My wife ordered two eggs over easy, hash browns and bacon. Cooked perfectly to order. We were seated quickly and the service was fast. The waitress was one that everyone hopes to get. Polite, came by to refill our drinks without having to be flagged down, made sure everything was just as we had hoped, but also not a hovering waitress. The grand finally was when we ordered our dessert. We are both big fans of a properly cooked sopapilla. So, we each ordered one with a side of honey. They were huge and perfectly cooked.

Great little gem of a diner right on Route 66 with standard choices like burgers, salads, & wraps, or for a taste of Mexican food: enchiladas, chili relleno, tamales, tacos, and even menudo. The staff is very friendly, and although there is a bit of a wait for food, it's worth it as it's cooked with pride. Complementary chips and salsa are offered while you wait!

I was excited to try it, but unfortunately was pretty disappointed. the burrito I got had some sort of mystery meat that was supposed to be steak but didn't taste anything like steak. plus it was in giant 1 inch cubes which made it very difficult to eat

We had a great dinner here after our long road trip. Kiara was our waitress and she was great! Big portions and tasty burgers for a quite affordable price. (EU citensen)
