After driving through the ghost town of Cuervo, we come to Santa Rosa, NM Comet II Drive-In Restaurant, Santa Rosa, NM The only place to get real, authentic Mexican food outside of Mexico itself is in New Mexico, and even more specifically in Santa Rosa's Comet II Drive-In Restaurant. Mexican cuisine has become a staple in the diets of many Americans, but especially so of those in the Midwest. This family-run diner still has its authentic interior design as well! It certainly earns a place on the list of one of the best mom and pop – or should we say madre and padre – restaurants on Route 66.
