Food was amazing, we got everything from tacos to soup and salad to tamales and all of it was delicious. The bread/sopaphilla (might've misspelled that) was the best we've ever had, everywhere else is too dry and tasteless while this had flavor and excellent texture. The service was very good, sat us quickly and listened to our requests for sauces on the side. They also have very friendly atmosphere and even gave toys to kids for Christmas. Such a wonderful family oriented restaurant.

We split the Cherell's Choice....it was the best!!! Fresh and absolutely the most favorable pork carnitas with onion, jalapenos and guacamole stuff in the sopapilla I've ever tasted. Since we split the meal we had a piece of the apple and pecan pie, also very yummy

We've been here several times as we drive through town. If we hit it right (they're closed on Sundays and the line can get very long at prime time), we try to stop here whenever we can. The place is not that large and there are not many tables -- most of them are 2-4 person booths. I've had several items off the menu over the years, but the staple for me now is the bowl of chile (green) with a sopapilla. That said, you can't go wrong with the Jerry's Special, which has been served the same way since 1976 (hamburger steak smothered in green chile and cheese with sopapilla, beans and rice). Get it with the soup. The soup is a chicken, vegetable, rice soup that is wonderful.

We are at Jerry's on a Saturday night. We had around a 15-minute wait outside but it was worth it. Great service & amazing food. The salsa was spicy but flavorful. The Chile rellenos were so good. We loved this place & will head straight there if ever near Gallup again.

Got here 20 minutes before closing and luckily they were still serving. Had the Chili relleno and it was the best chili relleno I have even had! They sopapillas with honey with the fluffiest too. Fast service and casual dining street parking right out front.

We were seated quickly despite how busy they were. The food wea served up quickly. Our food was delicious with just the right amount of heat. My only regret was not having both red and green chili as my wife did. If we are ever back in Gallup we'll probably stop by again The service was also excellent.

I'm so glad we were able to stop in for a meal at Jerry's during our route 66 trip. I saw a lotttttt of shit online about how good the food is here and I now feel qualified to assert that it is not misinformation. We came in for breakfast at around 9 or 9:30 and I'm glad that there was a table available. The service was great. I couldn't pass up the stuffed sopaipilla and their menu includes a VEGETARIAN OPTION with a garden burger!!! I was so excited to see this! Vegetarians want to try stuffed sopaipillas too! It was INCREDIBLE. It was absolutely slathered with chili and cheese and stuffed with egg, cheese, and garden burger. It was so good. Reflecting on it now is killing me. The portion was massive and there was no way I could even come close to putting that whole thing down. They replaced the coffee about every second. The prices were extremely reasonable. The wait was minimal. I don't have enough good things to say about this place.

This small eatery is very popular with locals. There are always people waiting before the 8am opening time. Instead of tortilla, most meals come with a freshly baked sopapilla and honey for drizzling. Other than that, I don't find the food any better than many other local places.

Visited 4/11/2024 Dinner Loretta and I, Jerry's New Mexican Cafe in Gallup NM. A small hole in the wall Family Run Cafe. Passed down Authentic New Mexican Dishes to die for. Loretta ordered Cherelle's Choice. A Sopaipilla Stuffed with Carnitas, Grilled Tomatoes, Onions, and Jalapeños with Red and Green Hone Made Chili Sauce. Very Tasty. I ordered The House Made Chili Rellenos Sauced as they say, Christmas Style with Beens & Rice and a Sopaipilla with Honey. That's Red And Green sauce Both. Excellent For Sure. I also had to try A Ground Beef Hard Shell Taco. Also Tasty. All in all Excellent Food and Service. Prices are fair and portions are Filling. I'll be back for more next time I'm in Gallup.

What a pleasant surprise! We stayed in Gallup on a long road trip so breakfast was just a stop on the way. But if we come back through we will make an effort to come here. I'm pretty sure we were the only non-locals in there which is a great sign that the food is good! Which it was! The red chili sauce chefs kiss I want more l!! I also want to hang out with every one of the super amazing staff. The Helped us order and took good care of us. Made sure we had everything we needed and suggested the best items to try. It had a cozy diner vibe, really retro and comfortable. Booths lining the walls and a few two person booths in the middle.
