Cafe 66

Old fashioned restaurant located on Central Ave. It’s tucked away and not very noticeable so make sure you keep an eye out for it. Loved the feeling of being welcomed and was able to image that this was how it looked many years ago. We were promptly seated and our order was taken quickly. The staff was always checking on refills and making sure we were comfortable or needed anything else. Great place to go and unwind and a good breakfast meal.

This is our second stop here. Excellent service, very clean, food is dynamite, best we’ve had in Albuquerque. Here for huevos and a bowl of green chili, warning, chili is smoking hot but delicious. Will eat here everyday during ballon fest.

Stopped in on a Tuesday for lunch and there were plenty of booths and bar seats available. we sat ourselves and were immediately brought water, menus and shortly after our orders were taken. The food was fast, hot, and delicious. The service was friendly with a smile! The green and red chilli was a little spicy and very tasty!

Good service and good food. Very reasonable pricing. Just off I-​44, about a mile. Does look like much on the outside, but all smiles on the inside.

Went to Café 66 for lunch and was very pleased. Clean, casual old school environment, incredible Mexican food, and very nice staff. I had the red enchilada plate and a taco. Excellent. I’ll definitely go back whenever I’m in the area.

So you are driving route 66 and then there is this Café 66, how can you possibly pass it by? We stopped in for breakfast and was very happy with our stop. The place was packed (including local police force) and so we sat at the counter.
Service is fast and immediate. The smiles are free flowing and so is help, but the coffee is not. We each had one cup and that was it, we were never offered another cup and because there were only 2 gals working the entire place flagging one down was difficult.
What you will get here, is a large breakfast for a very decent price FAST. This is a come in, order, eat and go kinda place. The atmosphere is late 50’s, early 60’s diner and it is immaculate. I have never seen formica countertops shine like this. Everything is so clean and well taken care of.
I believe because of the size they do not foster people who come in to nurse a cup of coffee for an hour, they want you fed and gone. Come back tomorrow. You can tell the place is filled with locals who know each other by name, I love that feeling.
Our breakfasts were decent. Hubby got a normal American breakfast, nothing to scream about, but it was good and filling. I had the chorizo breakfast with scrambled eggs and I added beans to my plate. It was tasty, but the beans really needed the homemade salsa to go with it, otherwise they were bland. The salsa is REALLY good.
Even though this particular Café hasn’t been around since route 66 was, it was still very reminiscent of that era and a lot of fun to stop in and enjoy for a bit.

Excellent breakfast a great place to take the family experience the real I love of New Mexico and enjoy very reasonably priced food and the variety is great a taste of New Mexico

There are few places in Albuquerque that can match the value and service of Café 66. An off the beaten path, «traditional», «dive» café, you can’t beat the experience.
Offering traditional and Mexican plates, but at ridiculously inexpensive prices, Café 66 is the place to get your Breakfast and lunch needs met with a smiling staff and a great value.
The food is great too. :-)

HIdden Treasure. When it comes to Classic New Mexican/​American Breakfast this is as good as it gets. Ector’s done a great job building a solid restaurant from the ground up. Give it a try if you’re on the West Side!

Good clean and organized place to hang out with good people. I always get to talk to Hector and his staff on a personal basis like having a family member who has a restaurant.
Thank you for being A good person Hector
