Shaffer Cafe Reviews | Mountainair Restaurants & Bars

Rode down from Albuquerque on the motorcycle for lunch at the Shaffer. Â Had not been there for a couple of years, and boy was it worth the trip! My wife and i both had green chile cheeseburgers and fries. The burgers were big, juicy, homemade and great! They should try for the best chile cheeseburger contest, as they are one of the best! Â I have had NM specialty GC cheeseburgers everywhere in the state; try theirs!!! Â Only thing that would have made it better would have been a cold beer. Soon?

Had lunch there today, They were nice enough to make a New Mexico breakfast burrito for lunch for me. It was packed with delicious ingredients and was enough for two meals. The dinner salad I ordered was surprising in that there were multiple tasty greens in it, not just iceberg lettuce -- and they had a delicious raspberry vinaigrette as one of the choices.

There were many other inviting items on the partially New Mexican menu (with daily specials) but I really wanted that breakfast item which I'd craved but didn't yet have this vacation).

The building's design is fascinating, but there is one element in it that shouldn't put one off Â - the swastikas (albeit in reverse) which at the time of construction was just a sun symbol. The artist/artisan responsible included many other American Indian symbols in the total design (exterior/interior/ceilings/light fixtures/furniture).

This place is off the main road and appears to be a favorite of local residents. I'm glad I saw mention of it in a travel book and turned off the main road.

Best restaurant in Mountainair, NM - friendly staff, great daily specials with a historic hotel next door filled western themed rooms at affordable rates - a must visit if you are in central New Mexico.
