The enchiladas consisted of small hard bits of meat scattered through a soupy mix of shredded cheese and watery red sauce. I understand that this restaurant has a storied past, and was previously a favorite stop for many former governors. But I fear those days are long past.

Explains everything for the newbies. Patient and erudite. Such poise in such a young person. It's a small dining area. Clearly a local fave. Phone was ringing off the hook. But many clearly knew their way around. A few ppl walked in, placed their order and said they'd be back at such and such a time. There's only a small kitchen We got to mean Domenic, our cook A sweetheart and a skilled chef. The food itself seems straightforward and pretty simple, but each dish had its own flavor which I think is pretty hard to do and each was so satisfyingly delicious. I think I would've bn satisfied with just the menudo and the half order of nachos, but didn't know it at the time we ordered so we went on and got the El Faro burger, my friend ordered the cheese enchiladas and of course we got the chile Christmas on the side. Fantastic! And a tremendous value. We were quite shocked that our entire meal, including 2 sodas came to less that $40, such that we left double that bc these small businesses are such treasures and we want such places to remain in business. Seemed there were quite a few locals but also lots of travelers coming through. I certainly plan to be back soon!

We heard that we got a new Italian restaurant in town and the locals have been talking, so we had…read moreto come try it for ourselves. The restaurant is located in Central Park Square downtown, which I close to the breweries and Long Pour cocktail lounge. That makes this a great date night option. The menu is mostly Mexican food and we already have a lot of Mexican restaurants for a small town. However, they are working on expanding their Italian menu. I really do hope they eventually have a full Italian menu. It would be great to have more restaurant variety in Los Alamos. Some things, you just have to go to Santa Fe for. We ordered lasagna, which is currently offered. It was very good and a sensible portion. It came with a small salad and bread. The flavor was great and the price was really good. They offer pastries from Chocolate Maven in Santa Fe. They also have dried pastas for purchase. They do not currently have a liquor license; however, that is in the works. The service was great and very attentive. We did not wait long for our food and the price was great. This will be a regular spot for me, especially when they expand the Italian menu.

My wife and I were visiting family in Farmington, where we both grew up, and one of the things we…read morealways look forward to is the amazing local food. Doña María has earned a permanent spot on our list of must-visit restaurants every time we're back in town. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Karen took incredible care of us and our family. Even though we were a fairly needy group, she was consistently professional, friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Her positive attitude made an already great dining experience even more memorable. I can't say enough how amazing she was! From the breakfast burritos to dinner, everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The homemade tortillas were absolutely outstanding and complemented every meal perfectly. The portions were generous, and every dish reminded us why we love coming back home. The restaurant has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. It's the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy a great meal, and feel right at home. Overall, between the incredible food, exceptional service, and inviting atmosphere, Doña María has become one of our go-to spots whenever we're in Farmington. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic New Mexican food and genuine hospitality. We can't wait to come back on our next visit!

Really hungry and back on the road to get food elsewhere. Also they have one bathroom, the toilet has what appears to be a child size toilet seat with an adult toilet. Good luck with that.

Even though the restaurant was incredibly busy and our food took a while to arrive, Joseph handled the situation flawlessly. He was deeply attentive, consistently apologizing for the delay and expressing genuine gratitude for our patience. To make the wait easier, he kindly brought out complimentary chips and salsa, and we were pleasantly surprised to find an unexpected discount on our bill. Joseph is exceptionally pleasant, kind, and accommodating--he made us feel like absolute VIPs. He is a talented young man with a bright future, and he clearly has the leadership skills to manage a restaurant or a full staff right now. I am excited to see where his career takes him. The food was delicious as well. Additionally, Mariaelena and Joeana were just as exceptional. Whomever is handling the hiring at Cafe Abiquiu completely knows what they are doing. I had an incredible experience, will definitely dine here again and again, and will tell everyone passing through New Mexico to make this a mandatory stop!

We came here because my wife saw on the website that they do prime rib specials on Fridays and…read moreSaturdays. Our Airbnb was close by and we were both hungry and prime rib sounded good. When we first got in we stood there for a good while before someone said you seat yourself and there was no sign. The person who told us to seat ourselves was a random person who just walked in. It was pretty dark inside and very dim. You could still see the decor of all the animals heads and rifles mounted on the walls. So while looking over the menu there was nothing about the prime rib special, so we asked and our server said they don't do it anymore (bummer) We ordered onion rings, fried pickles, taco salad, and the los ojos special. Onion rings and fried pickles were good. My los ojos special was good, I had with the red chile and gauc from my wife's taco salad and it satisfied my hunger. My wife didn't finish her taco salad, she didnt like it at all. When I tasted it, it was very bland and had no flavor. Service was ok and a little slow, #1 no one who worked there said we could seat ourselves, there was no sign and the bartender who I'm sure saw us standing around looking like what should we do didn't say anything #2 we waited a good long while for our server to pickup our check. This place is always super busy when we drive through here is is usually weekend afternoons, but this time it was Friday after 5pm because website said prime rib. There was a DJ setting up during the time we were leaving. Our experience here was mid. Everything was fine aside from the lack of service and the bland taco salad.
