Jerry's Cafe

Great food & Outstanding service. Check out this place if you are ever in Gallup, NM. My wife and I really enjoyed our visit. Will come back!

If you need to get some dinner in Gallup, GO TO JERRY'S. This is the place to find the authentic New Mexican food you're craving. Just go. Been there since the late 60s, and thankfully hasn't changed much. Cannot recommend enough!

Great Mexican food in a friendly setting. Both dinner and breakfast the next morning were very tastey.

The servers are very attentive and helpful. You won't go 5 minutes without being asked if you need anything.

Definitely stop here to eat.

I have eaten here twice while in Gallup for work. It is a great mom and pop local restaurant. Also great for tourists of folks traveling through.

The green chili is smothered on everything and is outstanding.

Highly recommend this treasure!

Also, if you like to get local Navajo jewelry, they have vendors come through periodically.

Great service to delicious food. The salsa has to be the best (hottest) I've tried so far in Gallup, NM. I look forward to going back and trying their green chili some time soon. Totally recommend you to stop by and try. Enjoy!!

EAT LIKE A NEW MEXICAN! This is a spot that serves the local cuisine, which I can only really call “New-Mexican”. You’ve heard of Tex-Mex? Well check out New Mex. lol

Green Chilies. Eggs. Cheese on everything. Sloppy sauce. Burn your face off salsa. The fluffiest and most delicious sopaipilla in history. It’s a wild mix of flavors and ingredients. I can’t imagine a meal like this is less than 3,000 calories. Seriously ridiculous.

In Gallup nearly 50% of the people are Native American. This night at Jerry’s my partner and I may have been the only people who weren’t. I never felt odd a second. The smiles, customer service and old fashioned hospitality made us feel right at home.

I’m not sure if I’m cut out for the sloppy, spicy, cheese topped carb filled decadence of New Mexican cuisine, but I wouldn’t blame you if you were. If you’ve never had something like this make sure you do.

It’s a experience!

Tiny place, but the staff is so good they make it work. Huge portions and fantastic food. Fresh fried sopaipillas, just enough heat in the salsa verde.

Best breakfast on our Southwest Road-trip! Stuffed sopapilla (like a breakfast burrito but in a sopapilla!) 2egg breakfast with green chilie smothered hash-browns also AMAZING! Definitely not lo-cal, but worth the cheat! 😊👍🏼

Stopped here on a road trip because of all the good reviews. First, this place is tiny. Second, it is super duper busy! The staff is friendly and helpful, but it is just plain crowded and you have to wait. We decided on to-go, which they were happy to accommodate. I ordered the pork stuffed sopapilla and my dad order the beef burrito. We had an average wait time, but had to wait out in the rain because there was no room even for standing in the restaurant.

Lunch was OK. We did ask for red chili sauce and cheese n both; however was not happy to see that the dishes were swimming in sauce, to the point you could hardly taste anything else. They forgot my beans and rice. The pork was OK, but the sopapilla was supper soggy because of the sauce. Dad's beef burrito tasted OVERWHELMINGLY like oregano. Don't know if that was intentional or by accident. Not sure I would ever stop here again.

Quick service and super friendly. I dined-in as a single mom with two small boys and the staff was incredibly helpful.
I had the stuffed sopaipilla and it was huge- shared with one of the boys and we still had leftovers.
