Stopped by while passing through and man was this a busy little spot. The locals seem to love it. A good sign. I got the smothered breakfast burrito and the biscuits and sausage gravy. Should have just got the burrito. I was recommended the red sauce because it's spicy. It's tasty, but for this Mexican boy, it was just a little bit hot. Nothing to cry about. Great, great breakfast burrito. Especially for the size and price! The biscuits and gravy were nothing too brag about. Bland and dry biscuits with bland gravy. The staff was friendly and offered to fill my coffee. $20 for both plates and a coffee. Would have saved $8 if I had just got the burrito. Nice stop if you're passing through or in the area.
Today, my daughter and I visited Geli's Cafe, and I have to say, this was one of the rare times I wasn't disappointed by Mexican food in the Southwest. I live in Central California, near Fresno, where we're lucky to have some of the best Mexican food around. When traveling, I've noticed that different regions put their own spin on things, so I always try to keep an open mind. Even so, I've often found myself underwhelmed. That wasn't the case here. I usually order a Machaca breakfast burrito, but Geli's serves it as a plate instead--fresh beef Machaca with hashbrowns, beans, and two warm tortillas. It was a nice change, and the portion was generous. In fact, I had plenty of leftovers, which I was excited to dig into later (a little later than planned, but a midnight snack is a midnight snack). I also got the biscuits and gravy with a side of freshly roasted long green chilies, and I might have stumbled onto something special. I sprinkled on some Tabasco and the chilies, and it took the dish to a whole new level. Honestly, this should be a menu item on its own. The combo of smoky heat and creamy gravy was just right. Service was good, the place was clean, and the food hit the spot. I'd definitely come back. If you're in the area, just keep an open mind--Mexican food varies from place to place, and while it might not always be what you're used to, sometimes that's a good thing. Geli's Cafe was a win.
I took my partner's mother here for breakfast, and the food did not disappoint. It was super delicious. The staff is friendly, and the place is authentic.
Incredible food. Big portions. A hole-in-the wall worth visiting! The burrito is no joke, especially for the price.
Very good local Mexican food. Very nice staff. Absolutely recommend this restaurant. Very quick service.
They were short-staffed but the friendliest staff we could have wished for. Clean restaurant and customers didn't mind waiting because all the food we ordered was GOOOOOOD! Forgot to take photos of my Chilequiles but I finished the whole thing! Chilequiles plate (red or green) Green - when in Rome, refried beans, choice of potatoes, chips & salsa!
Fantastic food, great service and super clean restrooms. Will for sure stop there again on next visit!
