Pow Wow Inn

Love this place for Southwest food. Home made salsa is excellent and dishes are fresh. Chips we're too thick and that's my only complaint. Servers are very friendly and helpful. Dishes are reasonable and the place has a hoppin bar in the later hours with a live band and dance floor. Typical Country Music for most part. Atmosphere is quaint with booths at walls having murals of customers painted on wall making it look as if someone else was already sitting there. Overall if you like Mexican or Southwest food you will not be disappointed. This place is on the edge of town so you may have to look for it.

Really good food. Route 66 is not so pretty in this area. Located close to freeway. Inside most patrons appeared to be locals. Daily specials were offered on addition to the daily menu. We very much enjoyed eating here. Menu offered Southwest, and Native American foods.

We'd stayed at the Route 66 motel on our way through and didn't like it, so we were looking for something else on the way back. Came across this little gem on the west end of town. It needs some updating, but it has a new owner and they seem to be working on that. The room was clean and very spacious. Comfy beds, nice shower, but my favorite part was the courtyard. You can park at your door, then go through the rear door in the room to a spacious enclosed courtyard with tables and chairs, bbq grills, swings, and a pool. Unfortunately, the pool isn't operational. The owner is very nice and helpful.

Comments apply only to the restaurant area, not the motel itself as we have never stayed there. Service is always quick and friendly. The menu selections are varied, but as you would expect from their location, they have a number of Mexican food offerings that are excellent. A unique feature from the restaurant is that there are murals on the walls by the booths that feature local residents who patronize the restaurant. Prices are quite reasonable and the portions are very generous. The general manager is often present in the late afternoon and evening hours, and visits every table to make sure that everything is to your liking. We have visited this restaurant multiple times when we are traveling thru the area, and have never been disappointed.

We stopped in for lunch on our route 66 road trip and we were not disappointed! The buffet was great homestyle food and our server, Jessica was amazing. She was friendly and engaging, sharing info about the town and things to do. It's a great stop.
