Jerry's Cafe

This is our first time in New Mexico. Driving through to Tucson Arizona we decided to stay for two nights and Jerry’s was highly recommended. We went there at 630 pm on a Wednesday night and had a slight wait - we were glad to see it so full with so many places struggling these days! We were a family of 4 and had to wait about 15 minutes. If you were a couple you got in faster as there appeared to be more tables for 2 than 4. We did not mind the wait as we were able to talk to a few people who were waiting for their take out food. They all raved about the food and are there very often. They always say the best place to eat is where the locals do and they were right. After hearing from a few patrons how great the food was, what to order and some history on the Gallup area we were seated We had the following dishes; chicken enchiladas, chicken sandwich, Jerry’s stuffed Sopaipilla and chicken taquitos. The service was very fast once we were seated and it seemed like the food just kept coming out. Many staff members checked on us to ensure we did not need anything. Very friendly staff. We would highly recommend eating here even if there is a wait!

First of all had the best service ever on our first visit. Within 5 minutes we had 3 waiters ask us if we would like to order drinks. I had ice tea and before I could order my meal I was asked 2 times if I wanted it refilled. Waiter check on us as we needed more time to look over the menu. Food was wonderful and plentiful. Both me and my wife took home half our order. I had the Chili Relleno's my wife had the stuffed sopaipillas called Cherelle's choice. She loved it. If you want the experience of good New Mexican cuisine you need to visit Jerry's in Gallup. Small cafe with seating for about 60. We went at about 4:30 pm and had no wait but there was quite a few locals there eating. Green and red chili delicious 😋. 406 west coal ave Gallup NM.

My wife and I stopped in here on a whim about a week ago, and I must say that I was really pleasantly surprised! The food was full of flavor, and really gave us a good (large portioned!) introduction to New Mexican food! I would happily revisit Jerry’s! Both of our entrees were excellent, and the service was also pleasant and accommodating. The only downside was that seating is pretty limited so just be ready to possibly have to wait to get in.
