Historic Route 66, “The Mother Road” as coined by Grapes of Wrath author John Steinbeck, travels right through Santa Rosa, NM. With travelers on this scenic byway came lots of business for the Campos Family. Joseph’s Bar and Grill, formerly La Fiesta, has seen many travelers seeking a great meal over the years. When Joseph, and his wife Christina, took over the business, they wanted to offer an experience. This included making the restaurant feel like a vintage diner.
