The reviews were great so we thought we’d stop and check out this little gem. Both my husband and I had burritos for breakfast. My husband had the double and had to take one home, it was so filling. The meat was very tender and I would definitely go back again. The ranchero sauce was spot on spicy.

I have NEVER been to an establishment as sharp as this one. From the moment my father and I walked in, we were greeted by we’re guessing who’s the owner. Food was excellent. I even left with a second meal because I was so stuffed!!

Awful, Absolutely terrible. Called in an order 20 minutes before pickup, upon arrival I waited another 20 minutes trying to get any acknowledgment from a staff member, I had ordered two smothered burritos to-go and they insisted many times my order was $92+.

Been visiting Nellies for over 25 years and many of us are customers for life! Just doesn’t get any better. Try the tostadas compuestas-and ask for it the old way.

Best chili we have eaten anywhere. We try to stop whenever we are passing through from Texas to Arizona. We had the double burrito platter, huevos rancheros and green chili nachos. The green chili had some heat and he red chili had a smoky flavor. So good!

Just love this place, my wife and I moved to Hershey PA, and one of the first we had to go to was Nellie’s Cafe once we came back to visit family.
