“ I can't say enough about Ella's Cafe... It sits in RESERVE New Mexico... A small VILLAGE of around 250 people or-... ”
“ Whenever you come to this part of New Mexico, then you need to stop here. Don't expect a fancy restaurant. This place doesn't look great, but the quality and the taste of the food makes up for the looks. The service was excellent and the prices are very reasonable. We have been there in August 2020. There is a great screened in patio to dine there. Since there is no in restaurant dining due to covid-19. . Update: with the beginning of September there is indoor dining available. ”

“ Ella's was recommended by a friend who told us about the delicious Juevos Rancheros. Since we were spending a few days in Reserve NM, we decided to try. We were so glad we did. I had the red chili, and my hubby had green. They were both terrific! The prices were reasonable, and the portions were generous. Our waitress was welcoming and attentive. The local regulars were all pleasant and greeted us as well. We will definitely stop in again when we're in the area. ”
“ What a find! Everything fresh and homemade. Small staff so be patient but it's worth the extra few minutes wait. ”
“ Stopped for dinner. It was great. I had the chicken salad and my boys had cheese burgers and fries. We all enjoyed the food. The cook was great and accommodating. The server was attentive and never left our cups low. Definitely will be back for breakfast! ”
“ If you're ever traveling west of the Gila National Forest, you'll find a little cafe in reserve New Mexico. I have never seen a girl serve seven tables so well and always with a smile. The food also was pricingly awesome! For being " a greasy spoon" The place is far from it. It's a delicious, clean, friendly environment when you're coming home off the road. Our waitress was amazing and I wish I got her name, she brought crayons and coloring book pages for our son and new everything just off the top of her head. Also every time the food bell rang she stops to go get the food. Last note, she handled the cash register, read it the guests, took orders, and ran the food all by herself. I highly recommend this place along your way to wherever you're going. ”
