Loretta’s Burrito Hut

Our server was amazing. She helped us put together a really good meal at a place not designed for vegan/vegetarian eaters. We had excellent bean and veggie burritos with a side of calabacitas. It was excellent. Also, the restaurant and bathroom were very clean.

As soon as we walked in I noticed the nice decor. The inside of the restaurant is very unique and cozy. I noticed all the Route 66 items and I didn’t know why there was so much Route 66 items. I searched it up to see that it was one of the first major highways. It was a very nice history lesson. I ordered the honeydew agua fresca and I have to say it was so delicious. It was sweet but not too sweet like how some other honeydew waters are. The chips and salsa were good. The salsa was not spicy but it did have a bit of the flavor. The salsa was overall good and it was paired with a burrito. We ordered the enchiladas with the red sauce, the cheese green meat burrito, and the street tacos de asada. I have never in my life seen enchiladas that were not rolled so that was a surprise. The red sauce is a mixture of chili gravy/carne and a traditional red sauce and it was good. The cheese green meat burrito was ok but I wish it was spicier. The street tacos were ok as well. The locals were really friendly so it was nice to experience that. In the end the experience was ok/good but nothing was really amazing.

Came here for the first time on Wednesday and fell in love with the food. My first bite reminded me of grandmas cooking. Everything is fresh and made to order. This is the only place in Tucumcari that offers meat in there chili. We almost thought she was from Colorado. If your in town do not skip this place.

Good service and the food was pretty good. They were out of multiple items we tried to order, which is always frustrating, but otherwise it was a good place to stop on the way across New Mexico.

Family business, good food and daily specials. I had street taco plate, came with beans and rice and very filling. Good chips and salsa while waiting, though I can stand my salsa hotter than most, so Loretta brought me jalapenos bless her. Good for family dining out, good prices, big servings.
