Restaurant Review: The KOA Kafe

     Right here at the KOA there is a nice covered Kafe (Koa uses K's a lot). It's open for breakfast Thursday thru Sunday. We'd not heard great things about it when we first arrived, so we didn't visit, but now that there's a new cook this might be just about our favorite place to eat. First, of course, it's very convenient since it's only about 20 yards away. But most importantly, the food is excellent and plentiful.

One thing you need to know about ordering food in New Mexico is that everything comes with the question "red or green?" meaning which color chili sauce you want. Then there's "smothered" which means having the sauce poured over the top.

At the KOA Kafe I usually get the handheld breakfast burrito with chorizo, potatoes (inside) and eggs and a bit of red chili. Since it's handheld, it's not smothered. Chris usually gets his smothered and uses a knife and fork (just wanted to make that clear).

They also have nice fried potatoes (you know that's one of my favorites) and weekly specials. Last week's special was breakfast sandwiches on Texas Toast. They were really good but a bit too much toast for me.

In addition to convenience and good food, it's just a nice way to get to know some of the campers in the park since seating is at long tables. Nearly everyone we meet has an interesting story to share.
