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!

The food has a little different spice mixture (some lighter or a different blend) and some food items are interpreted a little differently by the chef. Nothing disappointed us. I ordered the Frank Sr's Combo Plate to sample some of my favorites. The surprise here was the green chili sauce and using brisket instead of ground beef. It was the good kind of surprise. My wife ordered Calista's Carne Adovada Plate (brined & marinated pork cushion). Both dishes came with rice and charro beans. We exchanged forks of food across the table and every item (all 7) were a hit. The rice was cooked in chicken broth and butter and the beans had almost no cumino or chili powder but had something else slightly spicy and delicious. I could have eaten a bowl of rice & beans. But the Combo plate and Pork entree were some of the best I've had. Now I know why it is New Mexican food not Mexican food. I will come back and recommend this restaurant to people I know,

Finally we figured it had been put on the wrong side of the Main Street so we went the other way and ended up hungry and ready for a drink and dinner. The only negative is that I couldn't get a margarita other than the wine margaritas they have. Since there is a sweet and sour mix in them I went for a white wine instead and it was perfect for the day. We ordered our drinks and chips and guacamole to get started while we looked at the menu. Our server was super and we sat on the patio in the shade which was lovely. There was plenty of shade for the hot day. To stave off our hunger while we looked at the menu we ordered the chips and salsa with guacamole. The salsa was fabulous as was the rest but I had to comment on the salsa because so often these days it's just too tomato-y or bland. This was flavorful and had a bit of spice. For dinner, we ordered the steak tampiquena and I would get it again. Savory, perfectly cooked and hearty. Check this place out if you are visiting!

They have a very nice outside patio with umbrellas and also an indoor dining area. The bathroom is inside the kitchen, so you will see them cooking if you have to go. Luckily we arrived before the place got completely packed. I ordered the chicken blue corn enchiladas with green chile and an over medium egg on top. This came with posole and beans on the side. All this for $16. The enchiladas were stacked and they were packed with chicken. A very nice bite to the chile and egg yolk completed the flavors. Posole and beans were hot and well seasoned. A filling and flavorful lunch. Well worth the stop. Just a note: they aren't opened on Sundays. Monday through Saturdays, lunch is served from 10:30 until 3 PM and supper from 5 to 9 PM. A Texan waiting for the bathroom told me he always orders exactly what I ordered. I would highly recommend it.

Never had a bad meal here, and love the way they do their beans. Chorizo is wonderful, as well (some Saturdays we take a road trip just to have breakfast there). Always eat here on the way to and from Durango. Folks are easy and always friendly. Of course it's a little pricey, but the economy is the driver. But we wouldn't miss eating there for the world! read more

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.
