  Building looks small and rundown but the food was amazing. Had the taco plate with rice and beans, was some of the best tacos I've ever had. Will come back for more :-)

  By the looks of it, you wouldn't think to find such delicious items on their menu. It certainly is tiny--but almost always full of people. It's got a full divey atmosphere but the people are nice once you become regulars.
  
  We love to go Saturday mornings for breakfast. Their steak fingers with green chile and cheese are absolutely delicious. More than enough to fill your appetite. The prices are crazy affordable and the coffee is always fresh and hot. It has quickly become one of our favorites.

  Don't let the outside appearance detract you from stopping here for a meal.  The inside is not what you would consider great atmosphere either, but if you are mainly interested in the food, you will not be disappointed.  We stopped in this morning for breakfast.  Since this was our first visit, the waitress couldn't greet us like she did most of the other local/regular customers, by name.  This is not to say that she was not friendly, and not efficient.  My wife had a veggie quesadilla.  It's contents were tomatoes, green chiles, onions, and cheese, with a choice of hot or mild sauce.  She added a side of guacamole.  It was very good.  I had a potato and chorizo burrito with added cheese.  I had the same choice of sauces. The burrito was very tasty.  Would definitely order it again.

  Doesn't look like much, but there's some decent food here.

  Had the Huevos Ranchers and they were "OK"... not great, but just "OK".  Had them "Christmas" style (both red and green chile), and they at least had some bite... The coffee was your standard "cafe" style (weak and close to flavorless). Serving size was adequate, but a little on the light side. The waitress, however, was very nice.

  If you can imagine, I lived about five miles further out of Las Cruces than Moongate. Moongate Cafe was the closest restaurant to my house, so it makes sense that while I was growing up, my family were regulars. When I used to go, I always, always had to get the green chile cheeseburger with fries. They also make (made?) a number of Mexican combination plates that are really good.
  The thing that makes Moongate so memorable for me is the simplicity of the service and the food. They didn't do much, but what they did, they did very, very well. If you find yourself crusing down Hwy. 70, this is probably your best bet for good food.

  Moongate Cafe is a local breakfast and lunch joint located right off the freeway on the outskirts of town....great if you live beyond Mesa Grande. We were very pleased with this find.
  
  The chicken fried steak with eggs & toast and chorizo/potato/eggs breakfast burrito with beans & rice were exceptional...especially for the low price. My toddler even received a complimentary breakfast meal!
  
  Their specialty: Breaded Sirloin Steak Fingers....crispy batter-breaded outside with tender steak on the inside with a choice of 3 sauces: green chile queso sauce, brown gravy or country gravy. Delicious & unique!
  
  3/14/07 We just tried their cheeseburger, chile relleno burrito, steak fajita and their honey-covered sopapilla dessert....just as expected, we were not disappointed...
