Del's - Tucumcari

I absolutely love this place! The food is amazing and the service is excellent. It's not your typical Route 66 diner; it's even better. We make it a point to stop here every time we pass through Tucumcari, NM. This time, I ordered the liver and onions, and it was incredibly tender and flavorful. Food rating: 5/5!

It feels like this restaurant is geared towards an older, loyal clientele who prefer milder flavors and healthier options, and perhaps it should be marketed accordingly. To make matters worse, there was no veterans discount available, and the cashier was a passive-aggressive young man who appeared to have a germaphobic attitude. Unfortunately, I would recommend avoiding this place; I wish I could give it a three-star rating, but I just can't for a variety of reasons. It may have been a matter of bad luck with our choices.

The atmosphere is fantastic, and the staff is friendly. I had a cheeseburger with fries, and the fries were perfectly crispy. The burger was cooked to a nice medium, accompanied by fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. The bun was exceptionally fresh. Our server was excellent, and the restaurant maintained a clean environment. A wonderful place to stop by! Food rating: 5/5.

Great dinner experience..... Yvonne was our server....she was helpful and attentive. I ordered the carnitas tacos with rice and beans. They were perfectly prepared and very tasty. They had a great selection of local beers. Well worth the reasonable price.Food: 5/5

Passing through NM, looking for somewhere to eat, saw the yelp reviews for Del's and decided to give the place a try! The food and the service were both great! We'll definitely stop here next time we are passing through!
