If you want atmosphere, stop in at the joint near the University of New Mexico campus in Albuquerque. It's either called the Pioneer or Frontier. I can never remember which. It's a fun place with OK 50's grill food. Its major charm is that people from all walks of life stop in there for lunch. (At least, I hope this is still true.)

The restaurant is on a corner across from UNM on Central Avenue, which used to be part of the old Route 66, I believe. (It's now Alt 40, the replacement highway to Route 66.)

When you go through Tucumcari, NM, find out whether Martinez' is still open. Used to be the first place I'd stop for SW food on the way west from Illinois.
