Zayra's Café In Springer, New Mexico

Last week was the first time I drove from Colorado to Albuquerque on Interstate 25.

After entering New Mexico, the highway takes drivers through Raton, New Mexico. Raton is the home of the NRA Whittington Center.

According to Wikipedia:

The NRA Whittington Center is one of the largest and most comprehensive shooting facilities in the United States. Owned and operated by the National Rifle Association of America, the centre is located in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of Colfax County, New Mexico.

I didn't see any signs along the highway for the NRA Whittington Center. 

Anyway, Interstate 25 is a long stretch of road between Raton to Albuquerque. At least there's a few towns sprinkled here and there along the route. It mainly is in cattle ranch country.

One such town is Springer. There isn't too much there, but at least there's Zayra's Café.

Zayra's Café is a small family-run restaurant with a western motif inside. Thankfully, when we stopped there for a food break, the food was good. I had chicken enchiladas.
