The Best Breakfast Burrito I have EVER eaten! So good I make it a stop on my way anywhere I go out west.

What'cha hungry for? A burger?...a steak?...Mexican food? Doesn't matter...if passing through Tucumcari, just head for Del's Restaurant at the east end of downtown (Tucumcari Blvd./I-40Business Route)...Del's has been serving great food since 1957...when cherished, old "Route 66" passed by the front door! Usually a short wait, but there are interesting displays, and a gift shop of a New Mexico genre to keep you entertained. Nice salad bar also. I've never had a bad meal here, and I've been traveling through the town since the 50's myself! Highly recommended. Big breakfasts also!

Just want a fast burger? Try the Blake's Lotaburger on S.1st, just off I-40...a NM chain. Add the green chiles and cheese! Muy Bien !    [28 Apr 2003 15:19:07]

Do the Mexican fare, not American!
Our hotel staff recommended Del’s. The salad bar was small with 8 to 10 items, most items were crudites for the iceberg out of the bag salad, it also had hot pinto beans and one soup. The Mexican fare is regional. They have good flour tortillas. The burritos were better than average and served enchilada style. The Carne Asada was just a piece a flank steak with very little flavor and the lightest amount of marinade. The chips and salsa were under par and were served with the Mexican fare, or an extra fee if you order American. The beef hamburgers were BAD! If you can’t do a hamburger justice, we worry about the steak, and would never order one. The baked potatoes were soggy. However, the fried potatoes were extremely good. The service is hit-or-miss. We had to ask for items that should normally be brought without asking, i.e. ketchup and mustard for the burger. It would have been nice to be offered a large dinner plate for Salad Bar only order, instead of making do with a 6” appetizer plate. As for value for your money, it’s just not on the menu at Del's. We would say that Mexican fare is the way to go at Del’s. Breakfast might be their forte. We think it would be worth a try. Check out their menu for pricing.
