    ELA smothered in red chile
    Loretta G.

    Delicious! We were driving through Mescalero and found a hole in the wall. Looks a bit sketchy from the outside but when you walk in it smells like someone's grandma's kitchen. It was a 10/10 for me. The food and service were top-notch. From now on, I'll be making it a point to stop by whenever I'm in the area, rather than just passing through.

    While you sure can't tell from the outside, this is good authentic in New Mexico Mexican food. We've been here three times. We have ordered huge hamburgers (not Mexican but delicious), quesadillas with and without chicken, and a combination plate with rellenos and red enchiladas-this morning we had breakfast: Huevos Rancheros with green sauce were spicy and good. Ample portions. Bonus-Clean bathroom!!! Seat yourself, eat, pay at counter.

The staff was incredibly friendly, and even though it was busy on our first visit, we were seated quickly. My husband loved the shrimp cocktail, and I ordered the New Mexico Omelette both times because it was that good! The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable, especially compared to Texas. The only thing I wish they had was a spicy green chile salsa since New Mexico is famous for its green chile. The red salsa was good but not spicy. My oldest also thought the chorizo burrito was a little too greasy, but everything else was delicious. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Ruidoso!

    This is our favorite place to come to when we visit Ruidoso for breakfast. The food is always very…read moreflavorful and absolutely delicious. I had the bean burrito with potatoes, cheese, and chorizo, with green tomato sauce on the side -- it was amazing and full of flavor. My mom had the chile relleno, and my dad had the menudo, and both were excellent. Everything tasted homemade and fresh. We always make it a point to stop here when we're in town, and it never disappoints. Highly recommend for a delicious, flavorful breakfast in Ruidoso!

    Garcia’s Cafe - Building is a pretty light brown stucco in the Santa Fe style. The inside had two seating areas and room for all.

Small menu but owner/chef came out to greet you and ask how things were. I like that. Son is learning how to help as well. We should all help this new business make its mark in Alamorgordo. Owner comes from a family with cooking and service industry experience.

    Good loooowd! This place was delicious. I was in town temporarily for a hunt. Me and my good buddy…read morestopped by here in the morning to try it out. Yelp is always pretty damn accurate and this place lived up to every positive word said about them. We had an order of birria tacos each and we shared a cali-style burrito. I'll just say we ate it all. It was a lot of food but we did it... stuffed ourselves with every last delicious bite. There were very friendly and cool folks working there. I wish I had more time to spend as they had some classic arcade games I wanted to try. It was pretty quiet and chill inside the restaurant. We were there between rush times so that may not always be the case but it was the case when we were there (luckily). I would imagine this place bumps at busy times. Anyhow, you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't try this place. Fricken delicious, reasonable, and fill your belly portions. 10 out of 5.
