Seligman, Arizona -
Delgadillo's Snow Cap Drive-In

Much has been written about the fun and pranks at the Snow Cap, and it is still totally true. I just want to add my opinion of the food - specifically, the fish taco. It was the best one I've ever had anywhere! The salsa added to it made it perfect. My only regret is that I ordered just one. When I realized how good it was, a large group had arrived, and the line was too long. The ice cream was excellent, too! [Riley Cooper, 08/24/2011]

My family and I live in Phoenix and have made the trip to the Snow Cap and Angel's barber shop at least twice a year for many years for lunch and a visit. We have had the honor of being squirted with mustard by Juan himself.

This last time after talking with John at the drive in he offered to take myself and my daughters for a ride in the Christmas tree car. It was a one car parade and generated much interest from the tour buses. We love Seligman and Route 66 and will continue our regular visits whenever possible. We wish health and happiness to the Delgadillos and the rest of Seligman. [Bill Cremean, 05/29/2010]

I remembered this town between Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon that had this crazy Latino guy when we drove by in 1987. Always cracking jokes.

I brought my family by in 2009, and I asked at the General Store about that crazy guy. The locals (2 out of pop of 467) said he passed away but his family still runs the place. We were in too much of a hurry to stop, but this town appears to be the original Radiator Springs from Pixar Cars, sure enough just past the "city" center we cruised by. It was just the building back then, but now it looks like it is overrun with craziness. Everybody should stop by and say hi. [Arthur, 07/03/2009]

I truly love the Delgadillo family. These people have the time to give you the time. The Snow Cap is a family affair. I like the 1936 Chevy that they drive. Juan was like no other, but a second Dad to me. Joe and Angel, Juan's brothers, are making a music C.D. as I speak in memory of the family's big band music. It was a moving event to hear them all play at the 50th anniversary of the Snow Cap being open against all odds.

Everyone is right, Juan is still doing his tricks only on son John. This lets us all know it is O.K. and John is making Papa PROUD. I have the pleasure of taking care of the neon on the store to make it so bright Juan can see. We love and miss you Juan! You made the best food on the planet! [Jeff Register, 05/07/2008]

During a recent trip to Flagstaff, I decided to take my family the extra 70 miles west to see Seligman and stop in at the world famous Sno Cap.

It was around 1 pm and the place was busy. We overheard some new jokes while standing in line. Funny how the jokes John-Michael and Robert tell take a minute to sort of "sink in" ...making them even funnier. It was a very cool day and a young and very attractive woman ahead of us ordered a hot tea. When it was ready, Robert handed it to her and said "a hot tea for the hot-ty". It took about 3 seconds for everyone to get the joke...the laughter erupted and could be heard outside.

The Delgadillos are truly committed to carrying out their father's legacy...and are doing a masterful job. Keep up the great work. The Cheeseburgers with cheese and the malts are the best! I'll be back every chance I get. [Vic Gutierrez, 10/13/2007]
