Hot Stuff Diner - HATCH

We had a wonderful experience with fantastic service and absolutely loved the food. I ordered the California burrito topped with green chili, while my husband enjoyed the Huevos Rancheros Christmas. Everything was quick and delicious!

All our meals were very tasty! And homemade, even chips which were great! Wide variety of items to choose from. Kids had French toast that came with fresh fruit eggs and sausage/bacon. I had the flautas and both the shredded beef and chicken were made in house and SIL had chili rellenos that were light, fluffy and delish. Lots of curios and cute little shop inside, definitely going back

The food was very good. I got 2 burritos thinking that for the price they were probably small and I was wrong. I think the burritos are made on homemade tortillas. They were so good, I got one of chicharron and one of barbacoa. My kid ordered the green chile burger and he loved it and is now asking to have all his burgers made with green chile. They served chips and salsa and the salsa was to die for! I wanted to drink it. The service was outstanding from the server. I don't remember his name but he had a small tattoo by his left eye, he made us feel welcome by interacting with us with small chit chat and made us laugh making us feel like we were family. We will definitely be back.

On a mini NM road trip which brought us to the self proclaimed chile capital of the world...Hatch, NM. How does one pass through Hatch without sampling the largest cash crop in the State? Among the roadside stops Donna Summers guided us from afar to our lunch destination...Hot Stuff. We began our meal with wonderfully flavorful chips salsa which rang true to the name. We tried the breakfast burrito smothered Christmas style and a bean and cheese burrito with chopped green. We also sampled a bean tostada. Salsa was amazing, tostada was pretty good too. Green Chile was a chicken based white sauce...we would opt for red alone if given the opportunity again. Cute little Mercado attached to the restaurant with quintessential Mexican goods.

Usually, after a meal at a Mexican restaurant, I find myself craving ice cream to settle my stomach, but that wasn’t the case here. If you have a sensitive stomach, this is a great spot because the food is delicious and doesn’t leave you feeling heavy. The gift shop is charming, with reasonable prices, a good variety, and friendly staff. I found some lovely plant pots there, and I wish I had waited to buy more since their prices are much better than those in El Paso. The owner was very nice and helpful; he noticed me struggling with my purchases while unloading products and came over to assist me. Hatch may not have much to offer, but this diner is a must-visit, even if you’re not planning to eat. They have a nice selection of reasonably priced Mexican curios. If you're looking for metal art for your patio or decorative pots for your plants, definitely check them out. And be sure to grab a bite—you won't regret it! Plus, they accept credit cards, which is handy since I spent all my cash on chili!
