We were driving from Vail to Dallas and the roads were closed because of a blizzard so we were stranded in La Junta for a night. This restaurant was recommended by the folks at the Love's Country Store in La Junta so we came here tonight and had a wonderful hot meal. The chile relleno was nice and crispy and really flavorful. We also had cheese enchiladas, tamales, vermicelli & refried beans and everything was delicious. The chips and salsa were very good, too! The service was excellent and food arrived quickly. We finished with a massive sopapilla that was hot and fluffy and perfect with honey. The Cadillac margaritas made with Patron, reposado and Grand Marnier were outstanding. If you're ever in La Junta, please try out this gem of a restaurant!

The minute you walk into this cafe the party ambiance sidles up next to you and says "relax, it's a party" and the pretty lady who seats you, lets you know she's gonna see that your order is double quick. The food is authentic southern Mexico flavor so if you're in the mood for Nachos or Carne Asada, it will definitely hit the spot!

Yes, yes, yes, and YES. I know all the cheese in the photos might be deceiving, but I promise you this is Mexican food you need to try. (I personally looooove me some CHEESE.) My favorite part is the portions. You get so much food!!! But what keeps me coming back is the vermicelli. I could literally drink it in a Hydroflask 24/7. I'm telling you-delicious. Most of the plates let you choose vermicelli and beans, but I always ask for double the vermicelli (as you can see my plate drowning in it's heaven). The Chile rellenos were the best I've ever had. We like putting the salsa on our main dishes as well so ask for extra! I recommend ordering a bit of everything and sharing because you need to try as much as possible. Growing up in the valley, there's not many authentic restaurants, so when I visit, I always have to go to Mexico City. Oh and FYI they only take cash! They do have an ATM there though!

I asked in town at Lincare where was a good Mexican restaurant in La Junta. She highly recommended Mexico City. I easily found it and was the first person in for the evening. With Covid they were very good about masks. As they only take cash, they do have an ATM on the premises. The food was awesome! Reminded me of food I used to get in Denver when I was younger. I had bean tostadas and green chili. You can get it hot, mild or half and half. Portion was more than ample. Chips and salsa to begin with and you can get more salsa on request. The salsa is spicy not for the meak. Had a sopappillia (sp) (sorry) huge and so good. Had to come back the next night and tried a chile relleno also very good. I am bringing my brother next week when he gets here and I am going the next two nights. Yummy!
