With a Southwestern theme to many of the classic favorites, it should be no surprise that the Flat Tire Diner has a few spicy options as well.

Each meal is made from scratch with only the finest ingredients, all making for one unique and delicious visit. Be sure to save room for dessert because the diner also has its own bakery. Muffins, fresh bread, or whole pies are available.
