    Ok this place has great food. Apparently everything is fresh and made to order. So what's not to like? Well this means the service or shall I say, the time it takes to get your food depends on the amount of people already in the restaurant. We arrived around 11:40 with fairly full dinning area, and did not get our food until about 12:45. Yes, we waited over an hour for our meal. Luckily we had home made chips and salsa to help our appetite and we had some time before our meeting. We still had no intention to stay that long for lunch. We are working... so hopefully in the future their staff mentions that when new customers to the area walk in, that it may be a while. Literally we never got told about this whole fresh food/wait issue until after we got our food and my coworker finally asked what the issue was. Regardless, the food was good. If they figured a better food prep situation then this would get another star. There is only street parking available. Also the front of the restaurant is an odd random shop to walk through. Keep walking back. The whole place is very New Mexico.

    We stopped here after a long road trip. We enjoyed this place once before as newlyweds and now, 17…read moreyears later we got to enjoy it with our teen. It is located on Main Street and there were lots of cars. Generally that's a good sign. We walked in and were seated right away and offered a booth or table. I loved that. We like the booths and so often have to ask for them in places. The place is a very nice design. It's almost as though most of the tables have an intimate setting. Our server was pleasant and kind. We enjoyed her as she was very attentive as well. I read complaints on the salsa and while I can be a bit picky myself, this was okay. I'm originally from Texas and I know we are kind of salsa snobs. I mean....I was making my own salsa in my molcajete as a young teen. I got a small bowl of lemons for my water and dressed up our chips with lemon and salt. The chips were delicious and you can tell homemade. Our server never used empty with chips, salsa, or water. We were recommended to get the carne asada plate, southwest combo, and the chili rellenos.we had the rellenos on the buffet years ago. It was all still so good. The carne asada was amazing and moist. The flavor was amazing. My son got it cooked well done and it was still delicious. Highly recommend! The southwest combo was perfect for someone who wants a bit of everything. I got it with green and red sauce because I couldn't decide that either. The whole plate was great. The cheese chili rellenos with cheese sauce was epic. I mean it's like a spicy hotdog had a baby with a funnel cake. Yum!!!! We wanted to stick around and come back another day but we were on a tight schedule. Until next time. I don't understand why some of the reviews were so harsh. I mean there are all different types of Mexican food. I enjoy that New Mexico puts a bit of their own spin on it.

    Service is wonderful. But the food is not very good. Rice bland. Beans taste canned. Alot of the…read morefood taste like microwave food instead of authentic Mexican food.
