    My grandfather built the Ponderosa Motel!! I can't tell you how excited I was to see this just pop up. I can't wait to go there next time I'm visiting family! :)

    Worked on a drilling rig 5 minutes from this place for a year. Ordered takeout many times. This place is rough looking and would scare some people away, but their food is perfection and the portions are huge. A lot of their plates are $12-$15, but you get two huge meals or three nice meals out of a plate! Main thing is the quality/flavor of the food, excellent! The cheeseburgers are about the best you will ever eat, feeds two! Ask for a bullfighter, a roasted jalapeño with your food, excellent! After a few visits you become family! My coworkers told me about it and I couldn’t find it because I kept driving past this old pink hotel not realizing it was the right place!

    Back when me and my husband were just starting our journey in life, we lived in his hotel, and he would give us burritos when we were starving. Going thru tough times. He such an amazing person. His burritos and his home made pickles will forever stick with us. AMAZING!!

      It happens all the time. I was in real estate for eight and NEVER met anyone who owned their home. Homeownership is a marketing tool for banks, mortgage companies, title companies, and insurance companies. The tax laws are carefully crafted for the real estate industry, never for the consumer. The mountain of documents needed to complete the real estate transaction are there to protect the agent, brotker, and title company against law suits always. That's a dirty secret the consumer never learns until it's too late.
