KOB-TV in Albuquerque has started a series on “iconic” New Mexico restaurants.
One of them is the Silver Moon Cafe, on Route 66 in Santa Rosa. Here’s the video:
As for claiming it is the first place where westbound travelers can get a true taste of New Mexico, there’s at least one place in Tucumcari that might disagree. There’s even a place near Oklahoma City that might dispute that as well.
But there’s little doubt the Silver Moon is an icon. It’s been serving travelers since 1959.
