“ I love stumbling across a hidden gem- and Ola’s was it today! The smell of bacon had me at hello as I entered the restaurant. The bacon breakfast burrito didn’t disappoint with green Chile just the right amount of heat and not overwhelming with hash browns. The bacon was thick and plentiful. I smelled Ola baking the peach cobbler and cinnamon rolls so I order some to go. The small sample I had before I left did not disappoint. Ola was super sweet and I had great conversations with the locals too. This is a must try. I hear the desserts can run out by closing time so don’t wait to order yours. ”
“ OMG! Finally a decent place to eat in the East mountains! We didn't even know about them sadly but we were google shopping for places to eat in the East Mountains with good reviews and this came up. So today we went: ordered a sausage egg and green chile breakfast burrito, 2 orders of biscuits and gravy, and cinnamon rolls. Price was 34 for all of it and it was worth every penny! Servings are generous, they are made fresh upon order, you can tell the ingredients are fresh and not frozen and they have a good taste. Biscuits were tender & buttery, gravy was perfect, the burrito is huge, the chile is perfect, and the cinnamon rolls are the bomb too! They give very generous discounts to the EMT & Fire Department too! We will definitely be coming back and I'm recommending it to everyone I know here. ”
“ So amazing. When it comes to breakfast burritos I can be picky but not this one I had a bacon,egg, cheese and potato burrito with red chile on the side! Yummy I wanted to drink the red chile cup. My Fiance had the bacon green chile cheese burger with fries was hands down! We will be back for sure! ”
“ Excellent food. We had the special which was a bacon green chili cheeseburger & fries. Excellent ground beef, great flavor. Cooked to perfection!! One thing to know: they serve everything as if it’s to-go. They can only seat 10 people inside. ”
“ Just a small spot on the road, but the food was amazing! Limited seating, but a comfortable outside seating. The lady running the place is one hard worker! Very pleasant & accommodating. ”
“ Well.... We have been enjoying Olas burritos both breakfast and lunch, and found out she caters BEST CATERED DINNER FOR A PARTY I'VE EVER HAD!!! A Prime Rib dinner with classic sides, and Desserts to end the evening. . And Ola is so concerned about everyone having enough, we had folks taking huge leftover portions home with them! Thank you for helping to make our Christmas Party night to remember New Mexico Mounted Search and Rescue ”
