Amazing food you may not expect in Chama. Chad, the chef is great and the food is fresh. The entire staff are friendly and welcoming. Sunday morning buffet is out of this world
We eat here every time we stay at Coopers El Vado Ranch for fishing. Hours are odd and it gets full in the evening so come early. Food is good and so is the service. We’ll continue to come here. Come try it, you decide. David
Great food and friendly staff. Directly across from the Cumbers and Toltec railroad station. I had the pastrami sandwich and I highly recommend it. My mother ordered the fish and chips, she said it was perfect.
We had dinner here last night. It was so good that I came back for breakfast. It was even better! Huevos rancheros smothered in red chili! Flavor was awesome! I’ll have to make this my regular spot when I’m in Chama, New Mexico, plus totally random, met someone that I previously met 1000 miles away 2 years ago!
Not many options in Chama NM. This is the best I have found. Limited days and hours so it is best to call first. I've eaten there several times and the service was always great as it is mostly family operated. It is clean and the outdoor patio dining is the best as it is a little crowded inside. The burgers are good and for the area well priced. Open for lunch and dinner only.
On this Saturday evening in Chama, NM, we chose the BOXCAR CAFÉ for dinner – it’s directly across the famous Cumbres & Toltec Scenic RailRoad station. It was 6 pm, and we were seated immediately. My wife ordered the Ribeye Combo (including house salad), and I ordered the Pork Carnitas. Both were excellently cooked, perfectly seasoned, and tasty delicious. Service was excellent – several staff kept coming by to make sure we were happy – and we were. The selection of beer and wine is good, but not extensive. Prices were very reasonable. We’ll definitely come back again.
UPDATE: One of the BEST lunches had in Chama in a very long time!!! Service was friendly and accommodating. Fish and chips were good, the tartar sauce FANTASTIC, and an excellent portion, too! Chicken Fried steak with mashed potatoes and green chile gravy, full of flavor and veggies were surprising! Lunch was a bit pricey. The menu listed chicken fried steak and fish and chips at $13 each, however the bill was $32 (no beverages were ordered) Lunch was $40 with tip. Happy they are open! Give them a visit soon!!!
Previous review: Excited the Boxcar was open for dinner! There is NOT a selection for dinner in Chama, NM, especially as winter approaches.
Knowing locals do not choose the ONLY other option for dinner in town, (with good cause) it appears from the numbers, Boxcar Cafe is their choice. It IS considerably better, food wise and HEAD OVER HEELS price wise! This reviewer hopes Boxcar Café will continue to be open in the winter season, and continue to grow from commercial restaurant food to homemade dishes, as it will surely have the business!
OMG, the best tacos EVER!! ???? ALL the worker's were very nice, GREAT service. I had a chicharron burrito, Christmas and both Chile's were very tasty and good. We also had a slice of their warm blueberry pie made by the grandmother of this youg lady that worked there. I highly recommend this place❤
