Loretta’s Burrito Hut

"No brainer, but you should eat here. It’s exactly what you want for breakfast if you are traveling through the Land of Enchantment. Service was quick, perfect if you just stayed the night & you need to hit the road again."

"Loretta's Burrito Hut Route 66 Tucumcari, New Mexico Tucumcari, New Mexico is filled with lots of friendly people. We have met some of the friendliest people while dining at some of Tucumcari's restaurants and Diner. We have had a great experience at all three restaurants and Loretta's Burrito was just as fantastic and offered some delicious New Mexican food at the restaurant. The service was excellent we were seated immediately. We didn't realize it but our server Crystal ( I believe that was her name) was Loretta's daughter and gave us great service with a smile. The other staff members were great as well and were very attentive to the restaurant patrons. The restaurant is spacious and nicely decorated. We actually had dined here twice. We had breakfast the first day and lunch the following day. Each time the food was delicious. Loretta's style of food is homecoming and you can definitely taste it in every bite. Crystal also is a fantastic baker as we tried the cheesecake she had made. It was a great way to end the meal. On our last day in Tucumcari we met the owner who happened to be seated next to us. We had a great conversation and we were told that their family has lots of History with this restaurant which was once called the Sahara Sands Restaurant. It was so nice to meet her and while we were dining we spoke about her family history at the restaurant and her food. There are actually three generations that works there. Loretta also notice that Chucks beans were missing something and she has her staff bring out some chicharron to add to his beans. Those were a great addition to his beans. Overall our experience here was great. This is one reason we dined here twice. This is a family owned restaurant that makes you feel like you are part of their family. Tucumcari MainStreet"

"We just stopped for breakfast. We actually stopped due to the negative review about the Christian music. We are Christian’s, my husband and I, and we personally enjoy when a company shows their love for the Lord. Thank you Miss Loretta for doing just that. We had to opportunity to speak a bit with Miss Loretta, who is also the owner, very nice and pleasant lady. We travel the country and we always look for the lil mom and pop places. We highly recommend this little restaurant. The food was amazing! I had the breakfast bowl and my husband, the smothered burrito. the food is so delicious. The Christian music (K-Love) and decor adds that special touch to restaurant. If you are in the area or just passing through this is a must stop. If you get a chance to speak to Miss Loretta it will be like the cherry on a Sunday! Thank you Miss Loretta for the amazing food and service, God bless you and your business! #rvnewadventures"

"Lots of love about this place, but unfortunately neither the advertised daily specials were available nor did the stacked replacement enchiladas (microwaved?)— ordered green, originally got red—lived up to the promise of great authentic NM food. The green sauce in the bean burrito was amazing, but watered down on the plate. Two of the servers were sweet and kind, one not at all. But everyone’s allowed a bad day, right?"
