"A find" - 4 of 5 stars
by Gene, Crawford, Colorado - Reviewed October 7, 2013

This unassuming Cafe is on the frontage road at Pojoaque, but the food was great. We had huevos rancheros at 3 p.m. breakfast all day. It was just what we needed and real New Mexico huevos. Huevos are 2 eggs on a bed of beans and potatoes with chile mixed in on a tortilla. This version had the potatoes next to the huevos, but the chile was good (and somewhat hot). The Cafe; is next to the Roadrunner RV park along US 285.

by bobbyg1993 - Reviewed June 2, 2013

Drive by all the time finally went in on a Sunday because everything else was closed the waitress was very friendly and to the point and the food (we ordered New Mexican ) was delicious. Well worth our money could be redecorated though too quiet needs music all in all its great I will be returning maybe as a regular.

"Good place for diner food" - 4 of 5 stars
by acadiatraveller - Reviewed January 6, 2013

Sixteen of us descended upon this place for dinner (not much else open). The typical diner food (breakfast, fried chicken, fried shrimp, etc) was very good. The whole wheat sopaipillas were excellent. The kids who ordered "new mexican" food were a little disappointed. With such a large group on a holiday, the orders came out in shifts as I believe there was one cook. The food was freshly prepared, at least.

Homemade food, breakfast all day, a great retro diner feel, excellent staff, family owned, what's not to like? Be sure to try the whole wheat sopaipilla's, they are the best we've ever had! You will be glad you didn't pay twice the price at the casinos, while having an authentic New Mexico experience. Support the locals!

what a sweet spot! we were driving on 285S and noticed the billboard "Roadrunner Café, the finest american, spanish, and vegetarian cuisine". So we made a u-turn and head on in. We asked about veg tamales and Chef Prox said he can make us something vegetarian. He asked us if we wanted him to surprise us and we emphatically replied Yes. What we got:

a tasty salad with spinach AMAZING sopaipilla's with honey. dessert for dinner! they were piping hot and just baked for us. the entree was a large plate of AMAZING roasted veggies (celery!, onion, pepper, and tomato), relleno, and blue corn enchilada with red chile. The meal came with a roasted chili pepper sauce. then Chef Prox (as he is known) brought us apple empanadas on the house. we could not eat them b/c we were absolutely stuffed but they were as flaky and aromatic as can be.

Chef Prox and Marcy (our waitress) were dolls. I mean absolute lovelies. The service was outstanding and we felt like we were VIP guests. Chef indulged all of our questions and Marcy was a smiling gem.

I'm so proud of this place and what it provides to folks on the road.

Always had a nice experience there... I personally love the tackiness of the place, makes me feel like some of the restaurants of days gone by.  Their sopaipillas are so amazing, and the waitress is chatty and friendly, although a little rough looking.  She accidentally gave me the combo plate instead of the combo stuffed sopaipilla.  At first I was disappointed because I have yet to find a tamale that didn't taste like lard anywhere... but then I took a bite of it, and it completely took my mind off my previous order.  I love breakfast anytime, because my son will fill up on one of their pancakes with a egg cooked perfectly.  It feels local because it is local... well-read paper on the counter, plenty of room to sit and just unwind if you want.  Oh... and less expensive than most!
