    Alambre Tacos
    Aric C.

    The Alambre tacos with a Mexican Coke is delicious. Great flavor. Quick and friendly service. The inside is fun and friendly and clean. Will definitely return.

    Let me tell you! The inside when you walk in it's so beautiful all the colors and plants loved! They also have lotería images and some cute quotes on the wall. Service was very welcoming and attentive to customers. First time here and the birria ramen did not disappoint! The flavor is there and it delicious abosolutely loved there sweet potatoe fries I was just missing ranch. Ordered shrimp tacos and they were so good only thing was the sauce on top was a little tooo spicy, the tacos are preety big in size and they have enough meat in each taco. Ramen was also a preety good size. They have agua frescas and we tried the lemon cucumber I believe and it was really good not to sweet. They also have a restroom very cute it was just too hot in there , turn the heater down a bit please

    Wow we had a big group 8 people so I ordered ahead and got a ressy. Our waiter Claudio was excellent. Probably the best shrimp tacos I've ever had. Definitely a big thumbs up for this very authentic Mexican restaurant

    Asada and pastor tacos with pineapple/orange fresca

    Vibrant and cool little taco shop with some amazingly flavorful tacos! Not a large eat in facility but totally cute with good service if you eat in. Everyone loves a good taco and these will not disappoint! I was impressed with the meat ratio as they were definitely not skimpy. Salsas were really flavorful and could be put on a roof tile. Great stop!

    This was our first time here and the food did not disappoint! The tacos were delicious, especially the pastor! We got a side of beans and rice as well as elote, they were all so good! Their Agua Frescas were also so good! Along with their food the service was amazing! 10 out 10 would go here again!

    Chicken quesadilla

    Our friends who are newer to Las Cruces (like we are) keep raving out El Vagon and get it about 3x/week for their family. So we said, sure, we'll give it a shot. I got myself a chicken quesadilla and my husband the carne asada tacos. For me, it was the best quesadilla I ever had! The chicken was so tender and I don't know how they pack so much flavor into the meat. My husband absolutely loved his tacos. The restaurant itself is very cute, small and clean seating area - pretty intimate. The staff were so sweet and pleasant. I definitely recommend.

    Tacos al pastor

    Absolutely delicious tacos! My wife and I were on a road trip when we discovered "El Vagón." We tried their tacos Al pastor and tacos de pollo and they were delicious.

    Came across this spot on a whim, the ladies were so welcoming and had an amazing attitude! I ordered two tacos of birria and carne asada and the price for these is amazing. 4 tacos for $10 highly recommend the quality is amazing. The consume was amazing as well. The vibe of the restaurant was so cool I loved the theme and the hand painted loteria cards was too cute!

    Tacos Alambre and Pastor and Birria Ramen

    2 o'clock coming back from White Sands National Park and needed a quick stop to tie us over til dinner tonight, we or I decided tacos was the best idea. Also visiting from California, definitely needed to try New Mexican Mexican food if you get what I mean. A quick yelp search for tacos and lots of pretty pictures and mentions of Birria ramen had cemented this choice. Driving to the place, the area was a bit sketch and I know my bougie parents were a bit worried, pulled up to a dark gray brick building that looked like it could have been a Taco Bell at one point and saw a few cars lined up for takeout window, interesting... Opened the door and instantly got hit with an amazing aroma of tacos! And a quick look saw a very cute interior (very IG worthy) and a few patrons already seated. We grabbed a table and I waited in line at the register to place an order only to find out that if you're eating in, then it's a full service restaurant. We ordered 2 plates of tacos, Pastor and Alambre (asada with bell peppers) and a Birria ramen for us 4 people to share (remember the idea to not get full but just to hold us til dinner), which was perfect cuz 1 order of tacos has 4 tacos. And this was the most delicious tacos I've had in a very very long time!! The bell papers in the Alambre really made the taco, elevating the basic asada. Pastor fully seasoned and with added pineapples! The Birria soup was well stewed, though a bit salty, which just encouraged us to down the Agua Frescas we ordered. 10/10 definitely would come back. My bougie parents were extremely happy!

    Asada & Al pastor

    A huevoooooo. Best tacos I've ever had!! And that Orange sauce is incredible. 10000/10

We asked to sit on the patio, which was nice, although a little chilly with all the patio umbrellas up. They brought out some salsa and a small portion of chips. The salsa was surprisingly spicy and flavorful! We ordered queso, which they brought quickly, minus chips. We were able to flag down a server for more chips, but it seemed like this was a constant issue. The queso tasted like Velveeta, but was better with the salsa mixed in. Definitely not worth the price. My hubby had the Estrella Tacos, which were surprisingly good and reasonably priced! I tried a side of the calabasitas with no idea what to expect and found them quite tasty. Overall, it just felt a bit odd. Service was lackluster, food was hit or miss. Would try again, maybe at a different time of day.

I now understand the "greasy" comment regarding the tacos. Yes, they were a little bit but it wasn't horribly offensive. Also, tacos can simply be a little greasy. It's fine, not a deal breaker. The tacos were very small portions, a bit smaller than the street tacos I'm used to. The carne asada was OK. It had a decent flavor but was like "pow" flavorful or OMGosh I have to have more. It satisfied my craving. The carnitas were also OK. Nothing super exciting. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here for food but wouldn't be offended to have it again.
