This place has a chill diner atmosphere complete with little jukebox terminals at your table just like the diners from my childhood. Great selection of shakes and I really like the fried zucchini and mushrooms combo plate. Service is efficient and friendly.

The food was just what you'd expect from an all-American diner fused with New Mexico flair. The prices were a bit high, but I think that's the unfortunate game brought on by Breaking Bad fame. I didn't even realize this place was featured in the TV series until I was walking out and saw a photo of Bryan Cranston.

I really like the building - reminds me of 1930's Calif, when there were a lot of eateries came in a shape. (Not that I was around then). We haven't been back in a looong time so with some time on our hands here we are. Sat quickly and seemed like our server was already there. Not quite lunch time so we got to choose from breakfast menus. Veggie 2 egg omelet for me and Carne Adovada for my wife. Omelet was full of vegs and not overcooked. The carne adovada was tasty and tender. Once again plenty of leftovers. Good food, good service glad we stopped.

I was in ABQ for work and had finished way earlier than I thought I would so had plenty of time to try and find a place to eat. Green Chiles! Green Chiles! was a refrain that I heard over and over when I mentioned New Mexico. I was a little off the beaten path-lot of chain restaurants and storage units but not much else but Yelp directed me to The Owl Cafe and I liked the old school diner vibe it gave off, at the very least I could take a picture of the kitschy exterior. I walked in and the interior definitely had that old school diner vibe too. I got seated and Mary, my server dropped off a small bowl of pinto beans and green chiles. Since I already checked the box in getting chiles so I decided to go with their burger special which was cheap, like throwback to the 90s cheap. I did tell Mary that I wanted to get chiles and while the beans and chiles checked the box, I still had an itch to scratch. She suggested getting fries with chiles on top and get the Christmas style. She also checked on me a lot and made sure my Arnold Palmer was full during my meal. I had good hot meal at a fast casual price.
