We’re a family of four on a Spring Break road trip, and we stopped by the 86 Cafe for a late lunch. The Chimichangas and Taco Salad were fresh and delicious, but what truly made the visit memorable was the warm welcome and outstanding service from Amanda. We also enjoyed chatting with some friendly locals who shared great tips on nearby attractions. A wonderful small-town stop with great food and even better hospitality!

Went here yesterday and had THE BEST BURGER I’ve had at any restaurant in Benson! Real beef patties, not frozen, and not greasy. Will definitely be back for another soon! Can’t wait to try their Mexican menu too!

Delicious! I know it's not really that late, but it was only an hour until closing and the cafe let me right in, no questions asked. After struggling with an hour delay on my trip to Texas from Arizona, this was a breath of fresh air! The food was great; reminiscent of what you would expect from your Abuelitos kitchen! I ordered a smothered beef burrito with salsa verde and rice and beans. Everything was very well balanced in flavor. The table salsa had the perfect kick. I wanted to gobble the whole burrito down but I had 3 more hours on my trip to go, so the hostess sent me on my way with a to go box and a final cup of coffee! I will definitely be back!

Very friendly staff, great customer service. Ordered the shredded beef chimi. Beef was tender and moist, would recommend salsa with it for a touch more flavor. Rice was very good. Generous portions. Reasonably priced. Will definitely be back!
