This was our meal after I'd already taken what I wanted to eat! Great BBQ food!
Joy S.

We are staying at the Desert Aire hotel and this food truck is currently right outside their office side door. The hotel staff recommended we go there for supper. By the time we got our car unloaded in our room and walked over, the owner (Lance) told us he just had a few items left and would be closing up soon. When we asked to see a menu for pricing, he told us it was on the house since it was the end of his day! When he gave us our food, it was heaping so full that we couldn't even close the lid on the takeout box! He accepted our sincere thanks and a little tip. When we got back to our room and started digging in, my goodness! So much food and it was all fantastic! Started off with 4 sausages... Half were the spicy kind and half regular. I'm not usually a big sausage fan, but the regular one was wonderful, dare I say it's the best sausage I've had. The meat inside was ground very finely, so there weren't big chunks of fat and things like most sausages have. I don't care for spicy food, but my husband liked those sausages too. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful. There were 5-6 pieces of pastrami which were so tender and full of a just slightly sweet flavor. The meal also included potato salad with tender potato chunks, and baked beans with just the right amount of zip. If we'd had room to eat more food, he also included three slices of white bread. What an unexpected feast we had tonight, and what a talented and generous business owner. Even if we'd had to pay for the meal, it'd absolutely be worth it. Great BBQ!! If we lived here, we'd definitely frequent this place.

Good food and the owner is very kind! Hopefully he will get an indoor sit down location one day

I went at 2pm today. Not open. Clearly awful business acumen. Only day open is listed as Saturday.

This is some good bbq! We tried cutting the ribs but couldn't because they just melted apart!

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.

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.

I'll admit I was a little skeptical at first since there aren't a ton of dining options in the area and I had already had a disappointing experience at another restaurant earlier in the trip. As soon as we walked in though, my first impression changed. The place was very clean and organized, we were greeted right away, and seated quickly. Service was friendly and efficient from the start. I ordered a Thai tea and the egg rolls as an appetizer, while my coworker got the potstickers. Both came out quickly and were hot and fresh. They each came with dipping sauces, but there was an orange sauce on the table that reminded me of a spicy mayo and was really good with everything. For my meal, I ordered the ramen stir-fry, which was savory and flavorful with plenty of vegetables, protein, and a generous portion size. It definitely left me satisfied, and my coworker enjoyed his meal as well. Overall, it was a great, quick dinner experience - clean restaurant, friendly service, and good food. If you're ever in the area it's definitely worth checking out.
