This is 66 Diner, located just off Route 66 in Albuquerque. The building was once a busy gas station and was converted into a restaurant in 1987.

Inside, you'll find a bustling diner with checkerboard tiles, vinyl seats, and plenty of Route 66 and '50s memorabilia.

Even the serving staff are decked out in retro attire that will remind you of servers from a different era.

You'll find some tasty, classic diner food here. Anyone care for a burger served with fries and a shake?

Or grab breakfast on the weekend with dishes like a classic two-egg breakfast, a breakfast burrito, or huevos rancheros.

The restaurant also features weekly specials of your favorite diner meals, like this massive burger named after actor Chuck Norris.

You can find some of your favorite New Mexican dishes here as well! Entrees include burritos, enchiladas, and Frito pie.

And don't forget to top off your meal with a tasty shake!
