Homemade tortillas were good! Ordered 5 breakfast burritos for our group and I had the sausage, also tasted the chorizo. Both had hatch green chiles and potatoes, make sure you tell her if you want cheese or chiles, they don’t normally come w/ that. Loretta was very nice and made them quickly.

Cash is preferred, but they do accept card transactions! The food was hot and delicious. The staff was friendly and the facility was clean! It's definitely a good spot to stop at for a quick bite!

We just stopped for breakfast. We actually stopped due to the negative review about the Christian music. We are Christian’s, my husband and I, and we personally enjoy when a company shows their love for the Lord.Thank you Miss Loretta for doing just that.We had to opportunity to speak a bit with Miss Loretta, who is also the owner, very nice and pleasant lady.We travel the country and we always look for the lil mom and pop places. We highly recommend this little restaurant. The food was amazing! I had the breakfast bowl and my husband, the smothered burrito.the food is so delicious.The Christian music (K-Love) and decor adds that special touch to restaurant.If you are in the area or just passing through this is a must stop. If you get a chance to speak to Miss Loretta it will be like the cherry on a Sunday!Thank you Miss Loretta for the amazing food and service, God bless you and your business!#rvnewadventures

We love to eat at the local hot spots when traveling. We saw a billboard while traveling and the kids all agreed it looked good. Man were they right! The servings were huge and filling, and the food was delicious. I asked the waitress what she likes to order and I’m so glad I did. The smothered fajita burrito was better than I could have expected. If you’re driving through and you get the chance to stop here, you should

Do not pass Tucumcari without stopping at Loretta’s Burrito Hut! I had the egg, bacon, potato, and green chile breakfast burrito. It was great! It was fresh made with home made tortilla. Very generous size. Delicious!

Loretta's Burrito HutRoute 66 Tucumcari, New MexicoTucumcari, New Mexico is filled with lots of friendly people. We have met some of the friendliest people while dining at some of Tucumcari's restaurants and Diner. We have had a great experience at all three restaurants and Loretta's Burrito was just as fantastic and offered some delicious New Mexican food at the restaurant.The service was excellent we were seated immediately. We didn't realize it but our server Crystal ( I believe that was her name) was Loretta's daughter and gave us great service with a smile. The other staff members were great as well and were very attentive to the restaurant patrons. The restaurant is spacious and nicely decorated.We actually had dined here twice. We had breakfast the first day and lunch the following day. Each time the food was delicious. Loretta's style of food is homecoming and you can definitely taste it in every bite. Crystal also is a fantastic baker as we tried the cheesecake she had made. It was a great way to end the meal.On our last day in Tucumcari we met the owner who happened to be seated next to us. We had a great conversation and we were told that their family has lots of History with this restaurant which was once called the Sahara Sands Restaurant. It was so nice to meet her and while we were dining we spoke about her family history at the restaurant and her food. There are actually three generations that works there. Loretta also notice that Chucks beans were missing something and she has her staff bring out some chicharron to add to his beans. Those were a great addition to his beans.Overall our experience here was great. This is one reason we dined here twice. This is a family owned restaurant that makes you feel like you are part of their family.Tucumcari MainStreet

My wife and I found Loretta's on a cross country trip after Thanksgiving this year.We saw the billboard on west bound I40, coming from Amarillo, and decided to try it.Since then, I've stopped by three more times during subsequent trips between SC and CA.I love New Mexican style food, with my go to being an enchilada plate, Christmas style, with an egg on top.The restaurant is spotless. The food is very good and Loretta and her staff are very friendly.
