I personally like this place. The food is good. They have multiple options of type of food. Casual place. Staff was friendly to me. I like Mexican food and got the combination plate, enchilada, tamale, taco, and tostada with Christmas chile. I was pleased with my plate. Chile was mild, but that's how's I like it. Overall, for me, it was a good experience.

What a find! Recommended by the RV Park staff. This place serves authentic New Mexican style food, complete with green or red chili sauce, or both. You bet, their salsa is fresh and homemade. We bought some to take back to Oregon with us. While both red nor green chili sauces have some heat, neither is too hot to handle.We avoided the chili relleno as the cheese is yellow American cheese not queso fresco. And although I asked for shredded beef in the taco, I got ground beef. Flavors of the meal are great.A big plus in our book: the beans were prepared pintos not refried with lard. We prefer pintos and they were delicious. And biggest surprise of all was true to life sopapillas! Akin to Indian fry bread but soft and fluffy and hollow! And served with honey! Haven't had real sopapillas since we were dating in Flagstaff.

We really like Mexican food and have traveled quite a bit, hence have eaten in many places. Today we stopped in Gallup and Don Diego’s was recommended at our hotel. This is some of the best Mexican we’ve ever had, seriously. Homemade corn tortillas were perfectly made. I had 1 beef and 1 chicken enchilada with beans and rice, and a sopa w honey for dessert. Everything was prepared and seasoned just the way we like.Generous portions, prompt service even on a busy Friday evening and reasonable prices.If we travel through Gallup again, we will definitely stop by again!!!Thank you’s to the staff and management!!

Don Diego’s is a Gallup gem that delivers everything you want in a local spot: a warm, welcoming atmosphere, genuinely friendly service, and food that hits all the right notes. The menu is focused and well-executed, offering comforting, flavorful dishes with green or red zing. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel right at home—and leaves you thinking about your next visit. You can't go wrong with The Sheepherder, or the Chicken Avocado Salad.
