We stopped at this place in the morning, mainly to have breakfast and as it is a local diner - to find some information about the VAL Radio Observatory. This is definitely a diner for breakfast - we sat at the counter, had so many cups of coffee (excellent) and ordered eggs, juice and toast. The waitresses were very attentive,... more

the el camino is attatched to the el matador, a bar that will remind you of the regal beagle. red seat, red walls with large booths for dining a real step back to the 1970 s... the bartender is a tad aloof, but the food from the el camino is outstanding. you can meet several of the locals and have... more

This place is an old 50s-60s diner right in the middle of Socorro, across the street from Walmart. They have funky 70s decor, big booths, and cater to locals and NMT students.

Green chile cheese fries at 2 am. Overpriced though, and the Mexican food is not that good. more
