The Pit Stop 292 Cafe

We found this small out of the way, local's breakfast place while passing through Las Cruces, NM and boy are we glad we did! The restaurant is not much to look at from the outside but don't let appearances fool you. The two dishes we tried (Eggs Rancheros and the New Mexican Omelette with the green chile) were outstanding. Our server was very friendly and attentive and kept my coffee topped off the entire time. While we were there a parade of obvious regulars passed through the restaurant. All were friendly with the owner and the waitress and exchanged stories and banter. This made the experience all that much more "genuine." And even though we were obviously not regulars, we were made to feel right at home. This is THE place for breakfast in Las Cruces.

A post popped up while driving through, so we decided to stop!I love that the parking lot is huge for those who have rvs or big trucks!!! That's a plus for us travelers!The place looks like it's been here for a long time and I love that! When you come in, you see so many things!!! What do I mean? Things that the owner has collected throughout the years!! And yes that's a LOVE for me because I am a collector too.The customer service was great! I was greeted right away by the 2 young ladies at the register. I came in 6 min before breakfast ended!!! And they still took my order for breakfast, other places will BS their way out of it!!I ordered the enchiladas because they didn't have chilaquiles, I wish they did have some but she recommended the enchiladas so I ordered the green salsa with stew beef and also a potato,egg and chorizo burrito and I did ask if tortilla chips as big and she said yup! So that's awesome for my husband lolAmbiance was chill, relaxed and vintage dinner vibes!! Background music which is just at a perfect volume.The coffee was bland and I wish it was stronger and darker, let's try the food!!!The burrito tasted homemade! Home cook so that was great!!! The enchiladas looked different from an enchilada but they were savory! Spicy which I LOVE!! They did forget my sour cream oh nooo but ok I can still eat lolSuper cheesy LOADED!!! And lots of stew beef!! YummmmThe way they make enchiladas is to layer the tortilla and in between each one they add the cheese, chunky green sauce and beef! I did enjoy every bite!! Huge portion so will have some left for later on the road!!! The food was good! Texmex and can't complain

This restaurant is a little gym. The food is very tasty, need salt but very tasty. The green chili is delicious little spicy, and the red chili was the stand out for me. Had a lot of flavor. My husband had hand made patties of sausage with egg and hashbrowns with pancakes. I had a red and green chili burrito with two eggs on top, call the Arnies special. The price was fair for the food we received. It was a decent value and the service was a plus really our waitress was wonderful cute polite, knowledgeable everything you want a waitress to be the only thing I'd skip on is the coffee very weak but hey..... it's also conveniently located right off the 10 freeway so it's perfect for us. Definitely will come back. The interior decor is interesting as well. It's fun and lots of parking.

Nice little diner at the side of the road. Service was good. I had the special three hot cakes, bacon and scrambled eggs. My husband really enjoyed the breakfast burrito. Solid stop when on the area.

Excellent New Mexico flavors and real New Mexico beef you can taste it! Hot red chili Green Chili

I absolutely love the service and the food here! Always a great meal at a fabulous price!

Food was on point. The green chile was pretty hot, possibly could've used a little more salt, but The burrito my husband got had a stew meat in it that was incredible! Both dishes were pretty unique actually, and the cafe itself is very unique but a slight "hole in the wall". I'd definitely go back again! my hats off to the chef!

Great breakfast! Great service! Great location. I was able to "pull through" with my travel trailer.

Great food and awesome customer service!! Cant go wrong with the Arnies smothered burrito!! Awesome Breakfast

Terrific breakfast spot. Very cool atmosphere, and great food. BYO Omelette was killer. Why choose between red and green sauce when you can have both!!
