Whenever I go into Tucumcari I have two places that I try to visit.

If it’s before 11 am I will be stopping by Tucumcari Donuts and pick-up a couple of my favorites.

The national crispy donut chain has nothing on Tucumcari Donuts, these are light, fluffy, airy, Fresh delights.

Made and sold by some of the nicest friendliest people you could ever hope to meet, and the prices are super affordable.

I have not tried the coffee as I prefer flavored creamers and there are none to be had here (yet).

If you are in the area stop in you will not be disappointed.

The Best Donuts!

Thick Chocolate Malts! These things are awesome. Have them throw in a little cinnamon-sugar.

First stop on the way into town any afternoon I am here, Ken’s Ice Cream!

They carry multiple flavors of Hand Dipped and produce some excellent dairy treats. They have some interesting original recipes for the adventurous, Green Chile Shakes and Peanut Butter & Jelly Shakes are a couple of standouts. 

I had a Green Chile Cheese Burger. It was excellent! Reminiscent of a Rattlerburger from the “Westerner”, old school goodness. Not a corporate approved, flavorless, conveyor belt riding, lab processed, mystery meat burger. These are Hand cooked, dressed and prepared. This is food like you make at home. Ken’s Ice Cream.
