I am visiting a family member so we stopped in. Another restaurant was closed so we stopped here…read more They were super busy and had run out of refried beans and whole beans by the time we ordered. They let us know ahead of time. I asked for a spicy menu item and boy did it deliver. Good flavor, great spice. Would visit if I was in town

Small building, startup restaurant. Some seating indoors and outdoors…read more Read article on wall and started as a food truck. Had great reviews. Ordered all pastor tacos. Very good taste. Small menu but owner/chef came out to greet you and ask how things were. I like that. Son is learning how to help as well. We should all help this new business make its mark in Alamorgordo. Owner comes from a family with cooking and service industry experience.

Good loooowd! This place was delicious. I was in town temporarily for a hunt. Me and my good buddy…read morestopped by here in the morning to try it out. 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.

I had the two chili relleno combo, Christmas-style (red AND green chili sauce) and it came with a tortilla, too, all for $12.99. Plain, stark interior. Friendly staff. You can pick up from a not-too-obvious drive-up window.

Really good food. Loved the chips and salsa. Husband really liked the chili Riano.. will definitely…read moreeat there the next time we are in town.

It's actually become quite expensive to eat there, and not that great…read more I got four pieces of toast, a.k.a. two slices of bread and a little bowl of gravy for $16 plus tip and 3% credit card use fee and tax. 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.

Yo I feel like I'm in a looney hole here. There's no way this is what is considered quality Mexican…read morefood in New Mexico. I've had better Mexican food in South Carolina dog don't go here. 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.

We saw this on a phone search, after visiting Si Senor's the previous night (which was very good)…read more First, Cactus Cafe was hard to find, because it's in a food court in a mall and doesn't have a sign outside. So, we did find it. Personally, I thought the food was very average and overpriced (though it appeared that there was a lady cooking in the back). I got a $10 chimichanga, and after putting sour cream on it, I realized that there was no way I could cut it with the limp plastic fork and spoon provided. So, I picked it up and ended up using about 10 of the skimpy napkins to clean the sour cream out of my beard and mustache. It came with some typical dry, orange-colored rice, and the beans were inside with some (not much) finely ground beef. I ordered iced tea, and it tasted like it had been sitting around for a week. Of course, there was no lemon--why would you have lemon in iced tea? My friends liked their food better than I did, so I may just be picky. If you like mall ambiance and fast-food taste, this place may be for you. For me, I'll revisit Si Senor the next time I'm in Alamagordo.

Alamagordo has limited pub options especially if you're here on a day the other two options are…read moreclosed. So Picacho it was. Ambiance: Not good. 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. Got the taco plate - OK but not what I expected given we were in New Mexico. Service was friendly and efficient. Prices very reasonable.
