We were surprised to see we walked into the 6th best restaurant in New Mexico. Once the food came…read moreout, we started to understand why. Everything tasted as if it was freshly prepared in a close friend's home. The food was spiced well, the cheese on the bean was melted, and portions were great. The service was comforting too. The inside feels homey, bright colors, and cool from the strong AC. That is a bonus in the desert heat. The only downside is that chips and salsa were not included. I would have loved to try some other salsas with my chili colorado plate. Their salsa verde on the chimichanga plate was fantastic.

We really enjoyed Rizo tonight. We found it on yelp and we are so glad we went there for dinner…read more The 2 guys started off with beer and my friend and I had margaritas, which are bottled drinks at Rizo's. For an appetizer, we shared chips and salsa and they brought a green salsa that was spicy and a red salsa which was mild. We enjoyed mixing them together. Our waitress Cheyenne was awesome. My husband and I shared shrimp fajitas with corn tortillas. The fajitas came with a salad and rice and also guacamole, cheese, lettuce & tomatoes. There was plenty for both of us and the fajitas were delicious. The shrimp were really big. My friends got a bean burrito and a chicken dish which both came with rice and beans. They liked their meals as well. We ended the meal with caramel churros for dessert and they were fantastic. I highly recommend this restaurant. It is cute inside.

Yelp is always pretty damn accurate and this place lived up to every positive word said about them. We had an order of birria tacos each and we shared a cali-style burrito. I'll just say we ate it all. It was a lot of food but we did it... stuffed ourselves with every last delicious bite. There were very friendly and cool folks working there. I wish I had more time to spend as they had some classic arcade games I wanted to try. It was pretty quiet and chill inside the restaurant. We were there between rush times so that may not always be the case but it was the case when we were there (luckily). I would imagine this place bumps at busy times. Anyhow, you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't try this place. Fricken delicious, reasonable, and fill your belly portions. 10 out of 5.

So, it's kinda a diamond in the rough. I walked in thought it looked a bit run down. The booths are showing some age and the tables could probably use some elbow grease. BUT the food was fast, tasty, and so inexpensive! I was really glad that I stuck it out. Server was super sweet and asked if she could get me setup with some chips and salsa while I looked over the menu. I was taken aback at the charge for it but can't start a Mexican meal without some chips and salsa. The chips were GOOD! Like fresh from the basket good. They are made in house. The salsa was good too. Very fresh with visible pieces of tomato-just how I like it. Had some heat but not overly powerful. I ordered a burrito and a side of guac as well and enjoyed both! If I make it back during my trip, I'll get the burrito smothered next time. It needed some sauce for sure. Very convenient-they have drive thru if you don't care to dine in, inexpensive, and big portions. I will likely go back before my trip ends.

If you order anything extra, queso, cheese, anything, the price goes up five or six dollars immediately. I ate for my last time there today. The fajita beef was so chewy. I'd have to spit it out and I made a little pile of meat and just finally quit eating it. I asked if they could help out on the bill since I didn't need it and they gave me a generous 10%. My reply was, well it's the last time you'll ever see me. I had to order a waffle so I could leave there at least four and not have to go to a 2nd place. Took about $32 to get a burrito and a waffle. The bacon is usually raw, the hashbrowns are never browned...... I don't have. I'll stay in business serving the crap that I got today.

Over the past few weeks I have been in Alamogordo on temporary assignment. I have been trying as…read moremany places as possible. This little cafe has my vote for the best Mexican food in town. I had a stuffed sopapilla, which at other places was greasy and heavy. Here the sopapilla has thin layers, like a croissant and then they stuff that with all kinds of great things. They top it with a side of green chili. I have not understood the appeal of green chili till today. The mall looks like a ghost town, but trust me you want to go inside and feast at Juan's. Judging from the steady stream of customers I would guess this is not a secret to the locals.

Look at the tacos and tell me that this food seems it. The ground beef was very crumbly. They don't double shell. They food came out fine. And the tables were kept clean enough. It's not like it's inedible but considering the quality of Mexican food I had in New Mexico and how highly praised this location is, I would not waste my time here again.

A big room with a bar awkwardly plopped down in the middle with tables spread around the room. Bar is way too garish with string lights blaring in your face. I'm normally a bar sitter but not here. Low volume country music playing what sounded like religious songs. Three TVs all playing video of the same music. Beer: Dirty Blonde is OK, smooth but not the best. New England IPA is much better. Food: A bit of a disappointment because I initially checked out the menu online only to find I had actually looked at the menu for their sister pub in Las Cruces which has way better food options.
