Gallup’s Hidden Food Gems

This month the Gallup Journey has gone on a food adventure. Many of us have our favorite places to eat, the ones that we frequent regularly for great food. Gallupians know that the West End Deli and Plaza Café have been around for decades, but there are still a handful of you who

haven’t tried these two great eateries. Also, the previous El Metate Tamale Factory owner, Cecilia Resendiz, has left the Chihuahuita neighborhood to try her luck with a food truck. Don’t worry; the food is as good as it has ever been.

I can’t imagine going through life without having tried the legendary Plaza Café French toast or hearty FBI special with green chile. The West End Deli always satisfies my sandwich cravings with 10” salami and provolone on white bread. If street tacos are your thing, the new Tacos de Guisos Muy Mexicanos food truck will deliver. Read the articles, but don’t do it on an empty stomach, then go out and try all three of these eateries.

We welcome you to try these three food establishments and let us know what you think. Also, we realize that Gallup is full of restaurants, and maybe there is one we don’t know about. Drop us a note to tell us about your favorite place to eat.
