It used to be a chain of restaurants throughout New Mexico, but their locations were reduced to a single restaurant.[1] however in 2012 they expanded again by opening a second location inside the Latitudes gas station near the entrance of Intel in Rio Rancho.[2] However, this location closed in 2023, returning the restaurant to just one location on Menaul Boulevard.
