    The Green Monster Sandwich
    Stella Q.

    Almost went to a place very close to this one but didn't because the prices were outrageous. Decided instead on the Do Drop In and man did we luck out!! Not sure where to even start on all the pros..prices were reasonable, service was beyond excellent..very friendly and helpful, great atmosphere with cute games to play while waiting, food was delicious, servings were plentiful and the cherry on top was their homemade ice cream!! I couldn't recommend this place enough. Will definitely be going back the next time we're in Portales and recommending it to all of our friends and family.

    Great find! Driving through New Mexico and looking for a place for a lite lunch for a group of 6. Perfect place! Everyone had plenty of options; sandwiches, soup or salads. Fresh and delicious! The best part was the homemade desserts, I highly recommend the pecan pie.

    Do Drop In was one of the first restaurants I found using Yelp when looking for places to eat around ENMU. From what many people were saying, it seemed like a relaxed sandwich and coffee shop where workers are incredibly friendly. And that's pretty much what it turned out to be. Their menu revolves around their signature sandwiches, although you're able to create your own. They have a variety of sandwiches, salads, and dessert items. The prices are affordable, and if you want to get a mix of items, they always offer a combo meal where you can get 1/2 a sandwich, a bowl of soup, and a drink. I've tried a few of their sandwiches, and always thought the food was pretty good. The strawberry club was quite refreshing, with turkey, Swiss cheese, strawberries, onions, and honey mustard on sourdough. It was pretty simple, and probably something I could put together myself, but it was for a good lunch. I've also tried their popular Green Monster, which has New Mexico's signature green chile in the sandwich. I thought it was okay - I liked the strawberry club more, just because the green chile was a bit too salty for me. Green chile soup came highly recommended by the workers, and I have to admit that it was fairly tasty. The sweet tea was also really good the first time I tried it; when I came back for a second visit, the tea was tasteless, so I opted for soda. Their coffee smells amazing, and the pies look so good. Sadly I never got the chance to indulge in their sweet treats, but I love how friendly everybody is. Even with quite a few tables, the place gets pretty busy during the lunch rush hour so be prepared! tl;dr - Comfort food at a decent price - sandwiches and soups won't disappoint if you're too lazy or busy to whip up something for yourself. There is free Wi-Fi; definitely a good place to study once the rush from lunch settles down.

    This is my favorite spot in Portales. They have the best coffee and sandwiches in town. Plus friendly customer service and great prices. My favorite sandwich is the lumberjack though you can't go wrong with any of them. We love this place and it's a great local business that supports the community.

    The Grand Re-Opening of the Do Drop Inn hasn't precipitated many changes in the establishment. For the most part the menu is the same, the decor is the same, and the overall quaintness is the same. I couldn't be happier. I was very glad to see that the new owners kept my favorite sandwiches, and even more glad to see them use the outside dining space for musical entertainment during July. Whether you want a place to hang out on a weekend evening, or just want a sandwich from a great local eatery, the Do Drop is probably right up your alley.

    I had a difficult time finding this place, but it was worth the find! Came here on a pretty early…read moreSaturday for some coffee and pastries. First thing I noticed was the amazingly cute decor and interior. There's a ton of introspective quotes that really show the character of this place! I especially appreciate how they intertwine faith with the decor - super ingenious. The store is actually a lot bigger than it looks on the outside. It's kind of cottage-like with a drive-thru area on the side. If you walk past the dining area, there's a hallway that leads to a very cute room with more tables and chairs. I think a lot of groups rent out the space for parties and events, which is really nice! The have a pretty diverse menu of drinks - espresso, tea, latte, coffee, etc. They also serve different baked items, bagels, muffins, sandwiches, and salads. I was looking forward to getting a sweet item, but they only have it occasionally. I tried the caramel latte and an apple cinnamon muffin. The latte was pretty good, but not the best flavor wise. The taste could have been stronger and there could have been more caramel flavor, but overall it was not bad. It was a nice drink to have in the early morning. The muffin was tasty. Not sure if it was made in house, but after they heated it up for me - it was really good! Could taste the apple and cinnamon; it wasn't too sweet nor was it dry. tl;dr - Really wanted to try the salads or sandwiches, but never got a chance to. Definitely will be back when I'm in the area! Their flavored tea drinks seem to be quite popular, and the food items sound intriguing and priced at an affordable price.

    Several of my friends had recommended a new place that had opened up in Portales that specialized…read morein shaved ice. With the incredibly hot weather and the need for something sweet, it really didn't take much to convince me to give this place a try for myself. This place can be a little tough to find. Luckily I could pull it up on Yelp and navigate to the location - it's on the other side of Pizza Hut by the railroad tracks. Kind of unexpected to have a little shack set up that sells shaved ice, but it works! The yellow shack and the flags that wave "Tropical Sno" are definitely "alerters" to let you know that you've reached your destination. Like most other places in Portales, Tropical Sno also has a to-go window where cars can pull up to the side of the shack and order/pick up their order without getting out of the car. I opted to get out so I could take pictures of everything. Apparently Tropical Sno is a franchised dessert company where anybody can open up his or her own Tropical Sno location and start selling shaved ice. A pretty neat idea - I liked that everything inside the store seemed legit: from the syrups that were used to the color changing spoons, I was pretty sold. And the menu is pretty extensive for a shaved ice place. -1st step is to pick a size (small is $2.95, medium is $3.50, and large is $3.95 - not including tax). -2nd step is to pick a flavor: you can choose from popular concoctions that have been built up to taste like a specific item (i.e. root beer float, wedding cake) or build your own with 3 different flavors. -3rd step is to choose any add-ons such as coconut cream, caramel, etc. (You can also make it Hawaiian style and add ice cream for an additional $1.00) I was in the mood for something sweet that afternoon, so I ended up choosing the small Strawberry Shortcake ice (strawberry, birthday cake, and vanilla cream). The ice came in a Styrofoam cup with a plastic material to keep the ice from dripping on the table (or on you). Really enjoyed this sweet treat - I think having it Hawaiian style definitely would have made this even better, but the fact that it was just ice was still really good. I could taste all the various flavors, and it wasn't overwhelmingly or cloyingly sweet. For the price point, this was a very worth it treat. And the color changing spoons were a special touch! They have cute wooden benches with pretty lights strung overhead as a seating area if you want to eat your dessert right then and there. The people who own this joint were super friendly. They also offer a buy 9 get 1 free stamp card, which is really cool. No minimum on credit cards, and I think they even accept Apple pay. tl;dr - Would recommend this place to anybody who is looking for a refreshing dessert on a hot day in Portales and wanted to try something other than ice cream shakes. With all the various flavors and creation possibilities, you can revisit a zillion times and never be bored! I enjoyed the strawberry shortcake flavor, and if I ever get to try this place again, I'd want to try a more tart combination.
