On the morning of April 4, 2025 there was a devastating fire at the beloved Kix On 66 Restaurant in Tucumcari, New Mexico. Owners Todd and Donna Halfhill have poured their money, heart and soul into rehabilitating this Route 66 icon. They are a 2024 New Mexico Route 66 Association Heritage Award recipient in recognition of preservation and enhancements to the classic dining establishment, providing a fun, energized experience contributing to the roadside culture of Route 66. New roof, paint, signage, murals, a cool retro truck out front are the most visible changes they have made. Even more important they have invested countless dollars and time completely replacing plumbing.
