We ordered the salsa and chips for starters and I chose the "Ultimate Burger". The chips and salsa were great. Salsa tasted homemade!

He ended up getting a burrito smothered Christmas. He lived in New Mexico, has eaten NM food in other states & said this was the worst NM food he ever had. The chile was watery & lacking in flavor. My chile rellenos were different than I'm used to - instead of the egg & flour coating it was like a shake n bake breading. It was okay but not great.

From 7:30 - 12:30 you can catch the green trailer with a blazing red chile on wheels and indulge in this vegas tradition! For my first visit today, I ordered a Juicy Lucy. I was intrigued by the Jalapeño Crema and Green Chile Queso on the menu. I asked for the Jalepeno Crema on my sandwich and the side of the queso to dip my fries in. No doubt the ingredients are hand cut and fresh! The Texas Toast was lightly buttered and has a texture that melded with the patty. The crema was mild and satisfying. The fries were cut a bit thinner and bit less crisp than I prefer, but they were seasoned tastily and complimented the queso well. Check out their social media game on FB/IG/TkTk/Youtube !

We walked into the Skillet around 5:45pm, were assaulted by loud music (which we expected from…read moreanother review), and sat at the bar in the quieter room of the restaurant. We ordered a burrito, fries and drinks - a Manhattan for my wife and a chocolate martini with Kettle One and crème de cacao for me. My wife's drink was to her liking, but the chocolate martini tasted like there was coffee liqueur in it. Since I didn't know when our waitress would appear again, I told the first person we saw - a young man - that I couldn't drink anything with coffee because of the caffeine, and that I needed it remade. He took it back to redo. While we were waiting, one of the pool players dropped a very loud f-bomb when he missed a shot. Then a young child began crying very loudly. The young man came back with the remade drink, and the coffee taste was gone. After it had been over 45 minutes I had to ask what looked like the manager what had happened to our burrito and fries. She went back to check, and our food finally appeared. The burritos were long on rice and short on carne asada, something we couldn't know until we started eating. At some point our original waitress came back, and my wife told her we had to send back my first drink because of the coffee ingredient. She denied any coffee-containing spirit was used, and walked away. We never saw her again. I had to ask the manager for an itemized ticket, since the ones we had were sign for a total amount only, with no itemized detail. Since the original waitress had closed out our ticket right after we ordered and had given us our check, we paid and left. No tip was left. If you want a properly-mixed drink, be prepared to explicitly request every ingredient. Better still, don't expect great drinks or food at this place - stay away. There are lots of other choices in Las Vegas NM.

Walked in and it had quite the scent, like dirty drains/perhaps sewage (disclaimer, I'm pregnant so…read moreextra sensitive). A girl met us at the door with menus and let us know to order at the counter. We ordered and sat down. Food came out quick. We shared the Queso Dip - it was good flavor, little spicy. I didn't love the texture of the cheese, kind of gritty, but the flavor was great and chips great. I got Barbacoa Taco and my dad got a classic taco. They were good. Mine a little dry but put a lil queso on there and that was perfect. Loved the tortilla they use. One thing I didn't like, the kitchen had their music BLASTING, could hear that better than the dinning room music. Very overstimulating with two very different types of music going.

They have a drive thru right next to and entrance that says drive thru only so that threw me off. It was very compact inside and filled with families so I knew the food was gonna be a hit. There seemed to be only two servers who were running around like crazy to get people their food. I ordered pickup and waited at least 10 minutes before my food came out because they were busy. I even picked it up 20 minutes late because I got busy so it would have been nice to have it ready to go. Nonetheless, the waitresses were nice even given the pressure they were under.

I ordered chicken fajitas and my hubby got 2 tamales, pork & chicken. My fajitas came on the usual hot skillet, but it wasn't sizzling or steamy. Some pieces were stuck to the skillet and there wasn't much onion or pepper. It kinda looked like leftover from lunch maybe. My 4 corn tortillas were all stuck together and I finally salvaged 1 while tearing up the other 3. Sour cream came in a tube and guac was not fresh guac. So the fajitas were less than good. I had ordered the beans and pozole side which was available for .99 extra. The pozole was really good ! I should've just ordered a bowl of that! My hubby liked his tamales very much, however. The prickly pear margarita was good. 3 stars is adequate Service was fine. Waiter brought me new, fresh corn tortillas and said not to worry as he hadn't charged us for them. Ha! There would've been a war if we had been charged for them!
