Excellent UNM Ambiance
Amazing Place. Strange, true, but great! The orange juice is freshly squeezed - they have machine that dumps barrels of oranges by the minute - so you know it's fresh. YOU MUST HAVE THE SWEET ROLL - period. Also, the Western Hash Browns are great (green chile and cheese on top is standard). My meal is always the green chile stew, western hash browns, and a sweet roll. PARADISE! It is a hoky environment, ie employees wearing bandanas on their heads and aprons and stuff, cafeteria clanging of silverware, old picnic style tables, etc. BUT -- it certainly adds to the ambiance and ensures you are there to eat good grub. What I particularly enjoy is that everytime I am there, I ALWAYS see a local celebrity (newscasters, etc) -- this is a place where EVERYONE goes in Abq to have some good food at a cheap price. Great place to people watch. Have fun and fill your tummy without emptying your wallet.
