Don Diego's Restaurant & Lounge

This restaurant is no longer in business!

We found this restaurant by chance and did not see any reviews until we returned to the hotel. We had an enjoyable evening because the food and service was much better than we expected in Gallup. good acoustics so we were able to have a discussion without straining to hear each other. We would go back.

My husband and I came here while staying the night in Gallup on a road trip through the southwest. We wanted to try some New Mexican cuisine and yelp seemed to give this place okay reviews so we stopped for dinner. The service was good and the staff friendly, but I wasn't a huge fan of the food. Maybe it's because I'm used to the California version of Mexican food, but it just wasn't what I was expecting. I chose red chili for my food which was a mistake because it was too spicy for me, although it did have a good flavor. My husband felt the same way about his food, it was pretty tasty but not quite what we were hoping. Despite these minuses, the service was friendly enough for me to recommend stopping by if you're in the Gallup area. The menu is pretty extensive so give it a try!
