We were passing through on a cross country trip and enjoyed our lunch here. The service was also good. We will return if we are in this area in the future. read more

New Mexico has some great tacos, but this ain't it. The chicken in the tacos was very dry, the cheese was of very low quality, and the tortillas were partially burned. The refried beans were pretty good. But it's probably not worth stopping here. read more

Casa De Suenos - Rolled taco plate - Mexican Near Me - Tularosa, New Mexico

Wonderful service, delicious food and the owners are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. The restaurant is cozy and clean and our group of four was quite comfortable. The enchiladas are fabulous and their green salsa is the best in New Mexico. What impressed me the most was witnessing the kindness of the people who own this establishment. They are warm and welcoming to everyone. If you want to enjoy a great meal and feel good about supporting a locally owned restaurant, this is the place! read more

Food was pretty good! Had green chile stew - meat was tender in it and it was very good! Had a little bit of spice to it! Chips and salsa costs $7.95, but is worth it. Comes with green and red salsa, my favorite was the red! Ambiance was nice! Service was okay. Would come back! read more

Casa De Suenos - Green Chile Stew - Mexican Near Me - Tularosa, New Mexico

I love the Red chili here, so good! I believe it is grown in Tulie. I highly recommend this establishment!!!!! The best from Alamogordo to Ruidoso. read more

It seems that a lot of restaurants have been closing lately and so I missed lunch in Carrizozo. By the time I got to Tularosa, I was famished and so chose this place over a couple of others based on Yelp ratings. When I pulled into the parking lot, it was nearly empty but the hour was late and the possible lunch rush long over. It turned out I was the only customer. I was quickly seated and waited on but I noticed that the menu was dog-eared and a lot of items were priced quite high. Maybe I was paying for the faux Mexican atmosphere. I settled on stacked enchiladas with rice and beans. What could go wrong with a standard item in New Mexican restaurants, right? It turns out that while the red chile was plenty spicy, the plate had been microwaved with the shredded beef burnt and the melted cheese around the edges of the plate burned as well. I have a policy not to send anything back as it invites a loogie, but I also have the policy of crossing an offending establishment off my list of dining possibilities. While the server was polite, the food was unacceptable. Next time in Tularosa, I'll eat elsewhere. read more

Got off to a bad start by being advised chips and salsa are $7.95. Starved or I would have walked out with that bit of information. Ordered the green chile stew for $8.95. Watered down and absolutely no flavor, literally had 3 tiny pieces of pork. Basically water and potatoes. Asked for flour tortillas and received corn. Rough spot. read more

Have not been here in a long time. Stopped in on a Thursday for a 11 o'clock lunch with friends. We are from the west coast. I had the chimichonga plate with ground beef. I ordered it "Christmas " because I love red and green chili. As you can see the plate looks great. Nothing was overlooked or soggy. Chili and spices were just right. Service was prompt and courteous. I thought my lunch was fantastic. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because we had to pay 7.99 for "bottomless" chips and salsa. We only needed one refill of chips and no extra salsa. Also, my rice was a little plain, so was the refried beans. But otherwise that burrito was banging! read more

Came in on a Monday night after visiting white sands. They do not give you free chips and salsa and want $8.75 for bottomless. Now it's just my fiance and I and we would have loved a single order of chips and dip for maybe a few bucks but thats not an option. We ended up getting it anyway and the salsa was good but spicy so be aware of that. I ordered a chicken burrito smothered in queso and it was delicious! The chicken was seasoned well and the queso was very good. I could give this burrito itself 5/5 stars. My fiance ordered the green chile burger and said it was good, but said it was very salty. place seemed very clean and was well decorated with beautiful paintings on the wall. Over all good restaurant to stop at and the waitress was friendly and attentive. read more

Nice little place for a small town. I highly recommend the buttiro plate with the carne adovada. I also recommend getting it with "Christmans" style sauce. Posloe was rich and flavorful. The Rolled Tacos were a good appetizer as well. A little miffed about paying for tortilla chips and salsa, but the sauces are worth it. Just like every restaurant in the world, there are staffing issues, so you'll have to be patient. You will have to go to Facebook for a full menu, as their website suggests. read more

Great service and the food was on point. Beautiful setting, loved it from the moment I pulled off the highway. We got the appetizer platter, and all of the items were fresh and tasty. The mini chimis on the platter were great! The light breading on the fried avocado was perfect. My mom got the chicken enchilada platter for her meal. The chicken was so well cooked, like it was cooking for days! And the green sauce is a highlight of the meal. I got a combo platter to give a few items a try. The crispy taco was disappointing because it was just a store bought crispy shell. I would prefer a tortilla shell and the kitchen take the time to crispy that instead. The red sauce has a kick but it's great too. Same wonderful, juicy, delicious chicken in my chicken burrito. Only thing I would change is from red to green sauce because that green sauce is so damn good! read more

I and the family stopped by for lunch. We'd never been there before, but let me tell you...WE WERE SO IMPRESSED. It started with service and ended with service, but in between was amazing fajitas, chili rellenos, green chili burritos, quesadillas and much more! Amber provided great service, right down to my request for a lemon wedge in my Diet Pepsi. She didn't miss and details and even anticipated our need for to go boxes. Matt, the owner, not only provides a great value for the price, but goes way beyond the normal aloof boss attitude. He noticed us having a mechanical problem with our rental car. He came out and helped get us back in the road with some expert advice. The place is awesome. Looking for a real treat...make an effort to stop at Casa de Suenos in the heart of the Tularosa basin! read more

Their unlimited chips and salsa is really good... its home made crispy chips are warn and made to perfection.... But the real winner is the salsa that comes with it... it's spicy and you can stop eating All in all this mom and pop mexican food is delicious... and the service is good.. you get that family vibe... come support this place! Definitely a must try read more

Awesome spot for dinner. The atmosphere was great, the service was amazing and the food was outstanding. If you're from out of town this is a great place to get that kind of vacation meal vibes and have a memorable experience. I had the ribeye with enchiladas and the steak was buttery and grilled perfect. The cheese enchiladas with green sauce were some of the best I've had in a while. I would recommend this place and will definitely be back next time we visit the area!! read more

Food was delicious & service was very nice & efficient. Thought prices were too high.

We were very hungry & couldn't find anything open in Carrizozo. Decided to make the drive over to Tularosa to try to find some grub and we were elated to find Casa de Sueños open on Monday afternoon. This place is well worth visiting. The salsas were amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed my chimichanga "Christmas style" which is a quintessential New Mexican culinary experience. My buddy was stoked on his smothered grilled chicken dish. The chicken was smoky and obviously fresh. The iced tea was perfection on this 103 degree afternoon. The service was friendly and prompt and the chips and salsa, although not free, kept coming making this a very memorable meal. I saw a lady at an adjacent table get a picturesque burger that looked pretty huge. There's no way she finished it, but it looked awesome. I'd recommend anyone dine here if they are in the area. The quality speaks for itself. read more

Lots of cars in the parking lot for lunch. Came back at 3pm and there were only a few more empty parking spots. Service was adequate and food was served as well as any other Mexican restaurant. Gained extra stars with the guacamole. Superbly crafted, and chiles Rellanos were well done read more

Food is moderate to good. Service is lacking, one person trying to serve late afternoon and niight without help- plan on waiting. Our order was unpalatable until i sent it back. If you ask for something like queso on Enchiladas instead of red or green chilies sauce there is an additional charge that they dont tell you about when you order and youre not informed at the time. You never get an itemized statement. Last time we were there the soft tortillas were free. Bottomlesss chips & salsa $7.95 but you have to wait a long time for the refill. Basically i felt like they dime & nickle you without telling you. Some sopapillas we puffy, the table next to us were not. She thought they had been ftozen. Ambiance- music was good but loud. Will consider this my "third choice" restaurant when choosing again. read more

Outstanding Mexican food. Don't Really understand having to pay for chips, but the food preparation and service made it worthwhile.

We ate there on 7-25-2025. The food was absolutely horrible. My sister in law ordered a glass of milk with her Mexican food and the milk they brought her was clearly soured/smelly. The ground beef that was included in our tacos and taco salads had a very off taste and smell. We live in the area and this used to be a predictably good and busy restaurant. The back portion of the restaurant is not used for seating anymore. The smaller front portion of the restaurant is all the is needed for the almost non-existent crowds. We were about the only people there on a a Friday night at 5:30pm. The building shows a lack of upkeep as the stucco in the front of the building is cracking a falling off. read more

The wait staff was courteous, friendly and helpful. Food was delicious with generous tasty proportions. Restrooms were clean and well stocked. Highly recommend! read more

Most Un flavored Mexican/American Food I've ever tasted! Buffet was definitely not worth $30 didn't even have a choice of Menu or Buffet and they don't tell you at all before they sit you... read more

Service was slow even though the restaurant was not busy. I ordered rellenos but they were out. So I asked for tamales. They were out of those,too. I ended up with tacos, rice and beans. Rice was crunchy and the tacos and beans were cold. It's gonna be hard to get me to try them again despite the convenience. read more

Food was good. Service great. Nice atmosphere. Relaxed place to eat. Has steak and cooked perfectly.

Visit from Tx, was told this place was delicious.... Absolutely not! 2 waitresses and attitude service...means they don't know how to take care of people. Food was substandard, everything tastes like it's from a can. Other reviews seem to be good, however people have not had good service or excellent food. They sell margaritas and don't bother mentioning they don't add tequila. If you come to AlamoGordo NM skip this place.... Keep going... Find something else. read more

Spent a week in Alamogordo on a business trip and went here my first night. It was so delicious, we returned at the end of the week! We were seated quickly and the ladies waitressing the tables are so sweet. Be aware that their chips and salsa are NOT complimentary, but still soooo good! The salsa is very spicy. I got the combo plate with a burrito and enchilada and it was such a well portioned plate that I could barely finish it. Topped with queso and green chile sauce, delicious!!! Well priced, big portions, and right in the city of Alamogordo. Go if you have the chance! :) read more

Casa De Suenos - Combo plate - Mexican Near Me - Tularosa, New Mexico

Casa De Suenos is a gem. The food is incredible. The staff is so dang friendly. The carne adovada sopapilla and the pork chop were stand outs on the menu. Food that we'll be thinking about for a while. It's worth the drive from Alamogordo, if you are visiting the National Park. If you get poor service at this establishment I suspect that's a reflection on the type of person you are. Time moves differently in the desert so if you need fast food, go get fast food. They are actually cooking this food back there. This food is meant to be savored and enjoyed. Thank you for such a wonderful meal! read more

Passing through town for work and made a stop for lunch. Both the food and the service were amazing. There was a good looking lunch buffet but we could not pass on the sopapilla and the Rellanos and both were perfection. If I ever hit this route again, I will definitely be back. read more

Used to be 5 stars, sadly I have to reduce to 2 stars. Unfortunately, the premises have fallen into disrepair and lack of cleanliness. My table was covered with clear oil cloth. The wood top had split along with the oil cloth. Food crumbs were in the crack and shoved under the oil cloth where they have built up. Truly disgusting. The food is no longer consistent in quality. So sad to see this long standing establishment go so far downhill in the last few years. read more

Service was slow - we got what was recommended off the menu and both disliked our food. Fun atmosphere and great that there is something in the area. Not worth driving out of your way when there are better options in Alamo. read more

When some important business people visited our area for updates on progress, they asked for New Mexico type of food...Casa De Suenos delivers! The visitors are still talking about their food and experience in meetings to this day! There were 12 in our party on a Tuesday evening. We had no reservations, but I did call ahead of time. They reserved a table for us, and we were able to order immediately. The food was on point, and we all got something different, w/ soecial sides or instructions. I highly recommend recommend and locally owned! read more

Talk about a party! This place is huge and has some awesome vibes. When the world is back to normal, im sure this place will be packed again. The food was really good compared to what I get at typical Mexican restaurants in Ohio where I'm from. I will say the guacamole was the only disappointing part. The portion sizes small and the flavor was lacking. We got fajitas which were delicious and all the rice and beans and toppings were nice. The staff here was super helpful and even gave us a to go caddy from a six pack beer case that had napkins and utensils and everything else. read more

Not bad. Not great, but not bad. We had just gotten to Alamagordo to an RV park for several days and our first stop was the Pistachio Land farm tour (great tour, by the way), then for Mexican food. A little off putting to see the sign at the door saying "Chips and Salsa $7.95". I know that the economy stinks but still....this is the first place I've ever seen that. I just think if you are spending good money for drinks and entrees, that should be waived. We both had local IPAs which were very good. We ordered guacamole (figuring that was a good way to get chips free lol!). The guacamole was good, the chips were rather hard. Not light and crispy at all. We had to request salsa. I didn't look at the bill but we may have been charged for that. I ordered tamales - one with red sauce and one with green sauce. It was very tasty. And the portion was large so I took home a to-go plate. My husband ordered the salmon - and he says he should have known better. Salmon in the southwest US (eye roll), but we have been on the road for three weeks and wanted something a little different. I've since learned there are some better restaurants in Alamagordo so we would skip this one another time. read more

Alright...I saw the high ratings and was really excited, yet ended up...not disappointed, but kind of just like a shoulder shrug with a small smirk...nothing blew my mind. The food was just okay. I was told that I need to go back and order the pork chops. SO. I'm telling you to order the pork chops. I've had better enchiladas and better salsa than here. And within Alamogordo - so no need to drive out. The decor is nice. The staff is friendly. It took a LONG time to get our food. It took a LONG time for the server to take our order. Again, just an okay experience. I'd go back to try the pork chops, but since I can't you should try them for me. read more

Food and service were really good! Ambiance was cozy and welcoming. Delicious margaritas, too! Will definitely be back next time we're in New Mexico! read more

Good experience all the way around. The service was attentive but not smothering. The chips and salsa, along with the creamy jalapeño was good. We got a combo plate with a few enchiladas and we got both red and green sauce. They asked if we wanted hot on the green sauce and we said yes. Be warned. It is really, really hot but all of it was tasty. Will definitely go back when we come back to town. read more

Nice little place. Stumbled across one day year ago. Always enjoy stopping when I'm in the area. Good food and cold beer.

We visited on an early Tuesday afternoon so the lunch rush was over. We had excellent service and all the staff there were quite friendly. I had stacked chicken enchiladas and my husband ordered chicken chimi. Both were spicy and delicious and we brought home the leftovers for lunch the next day. Also their guac had chunks of avocado in it, which was great since most places just use that pasty frozen stuff... Side note: we brought our own reusable takeout container for the leftovers, and glad we did. It would be awesome if all restaurants would discontinue using styrofoam to-go containers; the planet is in enough trouble as it is. read more

Great food, great service. We were in the area for 5 days on vacation, and we had dinner here twice. I had the pozole and tamales. The sopapillas are always fresh from the hot oil. Check out the gift shop for New Mexico souvenirs. read more

We had a family reunion and ate her after church as we had a large group (almost 30 people) and they did a buffet for us. There was already chips and salsa at the tables when we arrived. The chips tasted fresh and the salsa had a good spice and tasted great. The waitress took our drink orders quickly. They have Pepsi products (as does much of NM). The Unsweet tea was very good. The only complaint was I didn't get one more refill. But really service was great!! Others were getting their refills. I don't think anyone got a second plate, but that was because we were FULL from the first plate. Many options and they were all very tasty. They had red and green enchiladas. The red were a little spicier than the green. The green was chicken and the red ground beef. They also had rice and beans and tortillas or corn shells to make tacos with ground beef. You could also put cheese, sour cream, lettuce, and salsa on it. Maybe onion I don't remember now. Overall great good and service. Would highly recommend and when we make it back will definitely give it another try! I didn't take pictures as I was busy taking with family. read more
