Ms. Kathleen, with a Judge on her hip and a smile on her lips, will serve up some great burritos while you attempt to earn free lemonade on her High Striker game. Burrito Banquet has a fun, food truck type atmosphere with lots of quirky art and momentos.

I'd give 20x more stars if I could!!! I'm usually not one to stop at an outside-only eatery, but I heard such great reviews from other Scouters that I had to try it!! Kathleen is super friendly, so speedy, and serves the most amazing food (and quite possibly the best lemonade I've ever had!) And it was absolutely affordable! [I only wish the fresh tortillas were sold on their own because they were so delicious.]

This place is amazing! The food is great and reasonably priced, but that's just the beginning. Kathleen, the owner, is super friendly, encouraging the patrons to sing and dance to classic music from the 70s. Once you receive your food, you can go behind the food truck and relax at a table, benches, chairs or a futon to eat. There are a variety of free games that you can play for rewards such as refills on your drink or a chocolate. Free cookies and fruit are provided. My group of scouts intended to grab a quick bite and then go on. We ended up spending almost two hours relaxing and playing. This place is a must when visiting Cimarron!

I have never seen a business owner so excited to share her food with the world in my life. Kathleen is personable with every customer that comes through her line, and that line has been incredibly long every time we've driven by. The food was hot and fresh, made daily. Our orders were made immediately right in front of us, and the service was quick. I got the bean burrito along with the cheezie (basically a cheese only quesadilla). The burritos were a little messy but tasted excellent, as was the cheezie. The red salsa that comes with the meal was good, although she warned us it may be spicy. (It was relatively mild). My only critique is that I think the burrito would be elevated quite a bit by a good chicken or beef option to go into it. I'll also never understand the New Mexican obsession with green chili, but that's a regional thing. Overall, we will absolutely be back. Outside of the food review, I have never seen a business support scouting the way this one does. Kathleen's passion for supporting the scouts coming and going from Philmont nearby is infectious, and you can tell the scouts love her right back.

When my troop visited we had one of the best times at any restaurant we’ve ever been to, Kathleen was quick witted and incredibly funny, kind, and welcoming. The food was immaculate, the green chili lemonade especially was addictive(she makes them into popsicles be sure to ask for them), and she even has handmade Philmont arrowhead chocolates. I will be back here some day no matter what, deserves more than 5 stars.

Drive through town and decided to try this place. Food was very good. Our group ordered burritos, chili and chips. Salsa was pretty hot and was very good. Lemonade was also good. If you can ring the big silver ball in the back she buys your lemonade. The service was nice and friendly. Different type of atmosphere. It’s more like a taco truck and you can take it to go or eat on some picnic tables. No bathrooms so don’t plan on that. Definitely recommend.
