Tumbleweeds Diner

If you are within 50 miles of Magdalena, New Mexico - you must eat here. Honestly the food was incredible. Fresh, hot, delicious. Just perfect. We are going to be making an annual pilgrimage to this place. I can't stop dreaming about my chicken sandwich. Now, I've had many chicken sandwiches in my life. I've been to Nashville. I've eaten hot chicken. This sandwich was incomparable!!! The spices were flavorful and not 'blow out my palate' hot just wake up your nose hot. nice pepper blend smokey and savory. the bun.... omg.... they have a talent baker to craft that to-die-for brioche. The onion rings were light and crispy like tempura onions and naturally sweet. They just pop down quick. Yum.The burger was sweet and spicy jalapeño. Cowboy Candy is right. Savory meat and again that beautiful bun. This place is a gem.

I'm so thankful we stopped into this diner. Conveniently located in the middle of some of the most beautiful mountain views around, I stopped in for food and drink and was absolutely blown away by one of the best flavor experiences I could have treated myself to. My drink (the prickly pear margarita) was extremely refreshing. I was blown away by the flavor of my meal (Teriyaki chicken) which was beautifully prepared, and my fiancée got the hot chicken sticks which were actually very spicy but in a good way and also came with hand cut fries that were very delicious and a perfect side pairing of homemade ranch dipping sauce. We will absolutely be stopping in again!

Wow! What an absolute gem in the middle of no where. Food is absolutely wonderful... I highly recommend the burgers. The owners and wait staff are super friendly and helpful with beautiful smiles on their faces. It is just off the beaten path so if you find yourself passing through Socorro, New Mexico on an interstate 25 it is well worth the detour.

This little restaurant out in the middle of nowhere is great! The double green chile cheeseburger I got was seasoned and cooked well. It was a very good hamburger. I really can't wait to go back and try some of the other burgers made here. I got mine with onion rings and they were delicious. My kid got chicken teriyaki and rice and she loved it. The service here was great and the people were very friendly. This place serves some very good high quality food. Two thumbs up from me and my mini foodie daughter! Be back soon for more!

I love finding awesome restaurants in unlikely places, like small towns seemingly in the middle of nowhere. The cafe is eclectic and colorful, and filled with art and other cool things for sale. The food is homemade and delicious (going back to try the chicken teriyaki!). And the owners were super nice. Definitely worth the drive. Make it a day trip and do some exploring in the area.

Excellent food and service! It was so good, we stopped at Tumbleweeds twice, to and from our trip to the Gila National Forest. I believe anything on their menu is worth trying! We had their burgers and spicy chicken sandwich. Wow! We ate every bit of our food! Ordered green chile mac and cheese to go because we had to try more of their menu. Definitely worth the stop, or the detour! Can't forget their cute decor, I loved it! Owners were very friendly.

This is the second time we've been to tumbleweeds, and they're still spot on. I got a green chile cheeseburger and my wife got green chile mac & cheese. The portions were huge the service prompt, and the price point was very fair. If you happen to be on Highway 60 in Magdalena, give it a try.

Great ambiance; friendly servers; food lovingly prepared; onion rings were a standout! Plenty of veggie options!

Great service and the best green chili cheeseburger. Hand cut French fries nice and hot.

Service A+, Ambiance A++, Food A++++We were on our way to the Very Large Array and had read about this diner on Yelp. Stopped by not entirely sure what to expect from a cute shack in the middle of nowhere. Boy were we in for a pleasant surprise. They were able to make their salads vegetarian by adding an OUT OF THE WORLD black-bean patty that was charred just right. And the Mac-and-cheese was so good that we picked up an order to go on our way out. I would love to see more vegetarian options on the menu, based on just what we ate. But even otherwise, I would love to go back.And the owners are really friendly.
