    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.

    Average Subway really…read more Pros: Parking is okay, place is usually clean. Cons: Customer service is a bit low. No one greets you, they all give you a blank stare or seem to rush you just a little when ordering. Always seem put out when you order, as if you are wasting their time. I greatly dislike their treatment of first time customers. I've witnessed this at several Subway locations. I was never a big fast food type person, but after getting married and having two kids, that changes for most families in this consumer run world we live in. My first time there, I was unfamiliar with the process. Some could argue that it is self explanatory. However, if you are socially awkward at all, this can make ordering at Subway very unpleasant. They do not show signs of patients with these types of people and offer no suggestions in a any way. The biggest example, was with my father who had never been to this particular place and also didn't know the routine. I witnessed him treated with the very same blank stares, impatient and generally annoyed customer service. Also, I am not sure with other locations, but if you see a 'new' or featured item on an advertisement, do not expect them to be willing to make it without making it very obvious that they have no clue what it is or seem to care what it is. If it is not a long time classic menu item or associated with base button pushing, they draw blanks.

    their door says they open at 8 am, online their hours open at 9 am. I went at 9:30 and the doors…read moreare still locked. the food is fine, as long as it's not a day when the vegetables are old or frozen; customer service is consistently sub par.

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.

    WOW Café is located inside of the Campus Union Building as part of the Starbucks We Proudly Serve…read moreshop. If you're entering the CUB from the parking lot, it's directly to your left behind all the tables and chairs. While there aren't too many options, WOW does serve up substantial food, especially if you're on the go or want to skip out on eating dining hall food. The prices are fairly decent, and they do offer good combos. They serve a variety of wraps, wings, and salads, but I feel like their wraps are the most popular. I believe this café is part of their larger Wow Café chain located in Texas, so the items at ENMU are more limited. My friend and I ordered the Buffalo and Sonoma Wrap. We both decided to forego the fries and get a drink instead, but I guess the person ringing us up thought that the combination was a much better deal, so ended up charging us for combo meals instead. So the Buffalo has a fried chicken inside of the wrap and the Sonoma has the grilled chicken, but when both orders were ready - they both had piece of fried meat inside of the wrap. We couldn't really tell which was which, so we just chose a box and went with it. I think I did end up eating the Buffalo wrap, which wasn't what I preferred - but it was tasty and definitely combatted my hunger. Bleu cheese dressing, buffalo sauce, and the variety of cheeses inside of that wrap was fulfilling, probably because the fried chicken made it taste so darn good. Fries were tasty as well - thin shoestring fries with a decent amount of flavoring tossed on top. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the fries were a good accompaniment to the wrap. Overall, I'd say this meal was worth the $6-7. I was only able to eat half a wrap, so I got two meals out of this! tl;dr - Credit cards are accepted. Meals can take a little long to cook. Sometimes they call out the order, but if you're a little too far away you might miss it so be sure to pay attention. Food is pretty good for the amount of money you pay. I've heard good things about their wings, but never got a chance to try it.
