What a find! We were on another one of our AZ to TX drives and in need of breakfast. Benji's is a small Mexican restaurant on the west side. Everything was hot, fresh and tasty. Very authentic New Mexico cuisine. Easy on the wallet, prices fair. read more

Hungry? Stop at Benji's! I know, it doesn't look like much from the street, but you'll be glad you stepped inside. You'll be even happier with the squeaky clean, inviting little dining room, the sweet ladies who serve, the kind locals, and the excellent food. We had driven a few hours and were more than ready for breakfast! This was it, I said and hubby wanted to pass when we pulled up, but agreed to walk inside and see. Say no more. We were greeted by lovely ladies. The friendly happy locals were enjoying their beautiful breakfast and the dining room is delightful. Without hesitation, we took a table. This was going to be a great stop! And we were right! I got the egg white veggie omelet, and she was instantly agreeable to my multiple substitutions. Instead of hashbrowns and toast, I asked for creamy delicious refried beans. Yes! Instead of egg whites, I wanted the whole 3 eggs! Yes! And may I have salsa for my omelet? Yes, and how about a whole bowl? When the salsa was getting low, she asked if I would like more. Yes, please! This salsa was worth its own photo shoot, so flavorful and just the spiciness I love, about medium. Hubby enjoyed his chicken fried steak with white milk gravy. Yeah, I broke my diet and had a few bites! So good!!! read more

This place is awesome. Good food and the staff is friendly. Will definitely go again. :)

The food was just ok. It tastes like they probably need to change the oil in the fryer. Great customer service.

Great Breakfast and great staff. Clean and friendly. We were passing through and found this place. Will stop again when passing through. The chili relleno omelette is perfect. read more

We stopped here becausee it said they have outsside seating but they don't. (We are traveling with our dog.) It's not very big inside, I counted 7 tables. But it's clean and looks to be well run. I got the fish tacos. It comes with 3 tacos, rice & beans. Nice, tasted great. My SO ordered carne asadaa quesadilla and chili relieno which was wonderful. Nice people, fast service, reasonable priced, what's not to like? read more

Favorite place for chicken enchiladas! They make their own corn tortillas and I love them! I enjoy their red and green sauces, tasty but not too hot. The chicken is juicy. They serve their enchiladas open face which I prefer. Benjis is a small place inside but there is some room to eat outside. Take out or dine in. Very friendly service. Family run. read more

If you are traveling through Deming and are hungry look no further. This is authentic world class New Mexican food. Not fancy, just really great food. I doubt I will ever pass this way again and not stop. The first stop I had enchiladas montadas with red AND green sauce with eggs on top. The second time I had chiliequilies with carne asada. Both dishes blew me away... read more

This restaurant is pretty good. I've had their passole; which I enjoyed. It's a good lunch spot.

Food and service was perfect! Everyone was so nice! We had problems with our car and they came out to see if we needed help

Outstanding Mexican breakfast! Skip the fast food places and drive a couple blocks to this gem. I'm glad I did. Don't let the exterior deceive you. It's lovely, warm and refreshing inside. The food is delicious. A great road trip find. read more

Husband and I stopped in Deming for the night, while on a road trip. Per Yelp reviews, we decided to go to Benji's. So so happy we did. Immediately served with chips and salsa. The salsa was so good we asked for refills 3 times and fought over it. Fresh flavor and good heat. I ordered steak fajitas. The meat was cooked perfectly with peppers and onions. The beans served were possibly the best I have ever had. I usually skip the beans. Husband ordered the combo plate and enjoyed every bite. Very attentive service and nice friendly staff. And a lot of food for a very good price. Adding Benji's to my favorites list. read more

Benji's Restaurant - Beef fajitas and combo plate - A woman with short gray hair, glasses, and a face mask around her neck is seated at a wooden table in a restaurant. She is smiling and holding a fork over a plate of Mexican food, which includes rice, beef, and vegetables. On the table, there are additional dishes such as chips with salsa and a plate with a stuffed pepper. The background shows a wall with a TV screen and a door leading to another room. The setting appears casual and family-friendly. - Mexican Near Me - Deming, New Mexico

We are traveling in our RV and made most of our meal along our tip but when we read the reviews for this place we had to stop. I'm so glad we did. This beautiful family is working together to roll out some amazing food. My husband and I ordered the combination one red and one green Chile sauce. It came with one beef taco, one tamale, one cheese enchilada, a tamale and rice and beans. It was so much food. We paid $20 and it also came with chips and salsa. The green Chile sauce does have a little bit of kick but we love spicy so for us it wasn't bad at all. We split of the combos and leaving the other for lunch tomorrow. The place was clean and appeared to be following COVId guidelines. They all had masks and plenty of hand sanitizer. read more

As we were traveling through we stopped for dinner and so glad we did. Everything so fresh and delicious. The shredded beef had a ton of flavor.

Everything you want from a mom and pop. I want a gallon of that green sauce. Don't leave without trying it. read more

A low budget Mexican food place whose location has seen better days. However, the building does not make the food. My order of a chorizo and egg burrito was delicious, albeit somewhat small for the price. I expect a breakfast burrito to contain potato or rice as well as the main offering. But it tasted good and the salsa was delicious. My wife got a taco plate, which she found tasty, though the onions in the pico de gallo to be overpowering, shadowing the other ingredients, as well as having a lasting taste for an hour or two. The rice was tasty as were the beans. Our server was very nice. One entree, one plate, and two Mexican Cokes came to over $18. I found that to be a little bit pricey. This was after all in a small town, in the low rent district, and not so far from the border. read more

I went here w my friend who lives here and the staff knew her name. Small town where everyone knows your name. This is an authentic Mexican restaurant and the food is delicious. I had the tilapia w pico de gallo, yellow rice, and refried beans. Portions were normal; not huge, which I appreciate. My friend had her usual: Chile relleno and bean burrito covered with green chile and cheese. I had a bite. HOLY COW. Must have; sinful & delish!!!! We got complimentary chips and salsa. Added a small side of guac for $2.50. All together our bill was $15.37. Can't beat it!!!! read more

I love the green chile here. It is the one restaurant we miss the most since moving from Deming. Amazing, friendly service and wonderful food. read more

Had the chorizo breakfast tacos. Pretty tasty and the chorizo wasn't to greasy. Put the eggs/chorizo, beans, and potatoes in a tortilla and topped with salsa. It was a delicious breakfast. read more

We were stopping thru with a dog, our waiter set up a table outside and was completely attentive. We had the combo and a chicken taco salad. Both were very good! I only eat chicken taco salads and this one was one of the first that I have had that was super colorful due to the freshest of lettuce and tomatoes. I could go on and on about how great our service was! We would come back. read more

Food isn't great but isn't bad. Food is overpriced and there is no space inside. Went there a while ago and only got 2 drinks and one meal and ended up paying at least 80 dollars. read more

As a native New Mexican, I take breakfast burritos very seriously. I am doing a temporary position here in Deming and was happy that some locals recommended this place to me for breakfast. I love that they serve breakfast all day. The classic burrito with potatoes, eggs, cheese, bacon, and green chile sauce was super solid. The ratios of each ingredient were perfect, cooked to order, high quality tortillas were being used. I strong recommend trying one. The service was also very fast and friendly.. read more

On a recent trip through Deming with our 40lb therapy dog, Benji's was the only Mexican restaurant that we could find with dog-friendly outside seating. The waitress very kindly brought menus etc out to us and remained very attentive to our needs. It was an enjoyable meal. We plan to make a number of day trips over to Deming and this will be our lunch spot. read more

There restaurant was very good this first time I ate there. But the 2nd time I order a carne asada burritto is was made completely wrong. The carne asada burrito is suppose to come with pico de gallo and guacamole (that's what it shows on the menu) but the burrito was plain just the meat and onions. NO pico de gallo or gucamole. Then the 3rd time I ordered the green enchiladas they were horrible very soppy that day. Didn't taste good very plain taste. IDK if i'm going back there again. Very disappointed. read more

Super yummy Mexican food, very friendly service and pristinely clean! We stopped in for a quick note while traveling through the area and were not disappointed! Would definitely stop in again if in the area. It seems to be a family operation and the service was great! read more

Clean well kept facility. 3 in our party. I had crispy tacos that were tough and hard to eat. They must be confused what crispy means. Wife had soft tacos and she said they were fine. Sopapillas were raw inside and uneatable. Waitress spent most of the time talking on her cell phone and we had to ask for any refills of drinks. I think that service and quality is lacking here. This building is a old Sonic that has been repurposed. read more
