Nothing impressive, but good to fuel us after a big rain that hit as we got there. If there was an ABC rating it would be a F. No drinks except Mexican bottled sodas. The enchiladas were ok red sauce very good, green no so much. The carne torta was very bland and fries greasy (ordered extra crispy!) If we ever get back to Hatch we will not stop here. There's a burger place that I wanted to try but it was closed (hours Wed-Sun). Next time hopefully.

First impression wasn't too good. We walked into the restaurant to first see a tub of dirty dishes…read moreand seat ourselves at a sticky table. The complimentary (first round) of chips and salsa was above par. The menu was descriptive and the service was friendly. We ordered the fajita tacos and the combination lunch plate (chicken hard taco, green chile con carne, green enchilada, and a chile relleno) with borracho beans and rice. The fajita tacos and chile con carne were okay, but the enchilada was weak and the relleno was filled with some sort of liquid cheese that poured out in the first lukewarm bite. Rice was okay. Beans were overwhelmingly over-seasoned with oregano. The combo plate was drowning in broth from the chile con carne. We were disappointed hearing that this place had such great green chiles, but it was all so watered-down that we didn't taste much of the chile flavor. :(

That's exactly what we found at Hot Stuff. My wife had a combo plate, $8.50, I had a green chile burro enchilada style w red chili , $5.50.

Attentive service and awesome red Chile sauce. Daily lunch specials available.

Among the roadside stops Donna Summers guided us from afar to our lunch destination...Hot Stuff. We began our meal with wonderfully flavorful chips & salsa which rang true to the name. We tried the breakfast burrito smothered Christmas style and a bean and cheese burrito with chopped green. We also sampled a bean tostada. Salsa was amazing, tostada was pretty good too. Green Chile was a chicken based white sauce...we would opt for red alone if given the opportunity again. Cute little Mercado attached to the restaurant with quintessential Mexican goods.

I've had much better red chile burritos elsewhere, the disappointing thing was not just the quality but I ordered green chile. Others in the part really enjoyed the chile relleno burritos. I have a feeling some things on the menu are better than others. It is cheap and that's a plus. Hatch is not a big place, I have a feeling you'll just eat at what ever place has an empty seat or one of the few roadside carts. After all some of them do cartwheels for your business. Besides, you're not going for the gourmet cuisine, you're going so you can celebrate the chile pepper.

The servers are friendly, and the service is just right. The gift shop area is gone and more tables have taken their place. I don't know what's with these bad reviews either, but I've eaten at this place about five times over the years and it has always been a treat. We have excellent Mexican food in Tucson and I think they are just as good as many places we frequent.
