Reviews
“ The pralines come in several flavors, but I bought the traditional flavored. There was a batch cooling in the kitchen area, and I watched the lady cut the pralines and place them in the container. How fresh can you get? I purchased those and four other packs. Since returning home to Texas, I have rationed those pralines-- as a reward for myself and husband. The flavor is magical. I can't wait to visit Mrs. K's again. ”

“ Road trip food is always an adventure! Well, traveling from Amarillo to Tucson we found ourselves looking for a place to sit and relax for a few. Getting of the interstate and cruising old Route 66 we found Comet welcoming us. Large parking lot and a bright restaurant offering their version of New Mexican Mecican food. Service was spot on and friendly. Clientele was mostly locals, so you know it has to be good. We enjoyed and highly recommend!!! ”

“ This place is a bit of a hole-in-the-wall but do not discount it. Much like not judging a book by the cover, do not judge this place by the exterior. Everyone said their food was good. Average for a mexican restaurant. Personally, I ordered the menudo (brave for traveling through the state and having a solid 10+ hours to go to get to my destination) but it was sooo good. My toddler even ended up eating it with me. The tripe was tender, full of flavor and basically melted in my mouth. The broth was full of flavor and had the perfect amount of spice. The tortillas were delicious and light. Hands down one of the best roadside stops I've ever had. If you are in the area and hungry, give this place a shot! The inside was old school diner type, the staff made you feel like family and they accept all major credit cards. Our group didn't use the restrooms here but overall the place was clean. ”
