Lunch was FANTASTIC. We had fajitas, pasta (yes, pasta!) burgers, fried blooming onions.. Everything was fantastic. The service was top notch. Cleanliness was clearly important. Beautiful photos of history and the gift shop was perfect!!!

Great place for breakfast. Everything was just how I wanted it to be. Steak and eggs are really good here. They also have a gift shop here with native american items plus historic route 66 items.

We love this place and stop in every time we travel South. The food is awesome for any meal, including breakfast/brunch. Photos of this morning's terrific menu. Service is attentive and welcoming. Atmosphere is original with a gift shop of lovely unique artisinal items of the area's cultural crafts. Definitely highly recommended for any traveler's on Route 66.

Silver Moon Café in Santa Rosa, New Mexico serves seriously good homemade food. The star of the show is their giant smothered burrito, wrapped in a fresh, soft homemade tortilla and loaded with eggs, seasoned potatoes, sausage, and bacon. It’s topped with a rich green chile that steals the spotlight — spicy, flavorful, and clearly made from scratch. I added cilantro and onions for an extra kick, and the combination was perfect. The flour tortillas are warm and buttery, the potatoes are seasoned just right, and that green chile ties it all together. It was so good I immediately added Silver Moon Café to my Google Maps favorites. Extremely good coffee and excellent customer service.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Vianey Suarez REALTOR · Oct 2025

We stopped by this restaurant while traveling through New Mexico. The service was friendly, but the food didn’t quite meet our expectations. The dishes lacked the bold flavor we’re used to with Tex-Mex, and the use of pozole grains instead of rice wasn’t our favorite. They serve Starbucks coffee, which was a nice surprise, but unfortunately it wasn’t hot. The place was pretty busy, so it was a bit hard to catch our waitress’s attention. Overall, it’s a nice spot with potential, just not quite what we were hoping for in terms of flavor and experience.
