The menu is full of expected staples, as well as regional specialties you'd be hard-pressed to find outside the area. The staff seem happy to see you and serve you with care and pride. The icing on the cake (or, salsa on the burrito) is the small salsa bar to help spice your food to your liking with a variety of types. Texans making the road trip to and from Colorado (and anyone else going anywhere, I suppose!), you need to make it to Alfonso's.

Passing through Raton, on my way down to Texas, I'd been craving Mexican food something fierce…read more Alfonso's to the rescue! The place is inside a gas station, but has an excellent variety of choices on their menu. Dining area is small, so best to ask for it "to go." I ordered the Chorizo Plate with flour tortillas ... or so I thought there'd be more than one. Actually it was one, BIG tortilla - more than enough to make some hand tacos with the chorizo. And what excellent chorizo it was! Flavorful and plenty of it. The beans and rice were equally tasty. For less than 12 bucks, this was a great plate of food. My only negative is service is s l o w ! There's one person taking orders from both the inside counter and the drive-thru. Likewise, there just one person preparing all the orders. BUT, if you don't mind the wait, it's worth it for great Mexican food.

I've been traveling I-25 for a couple decades, beginning long before i moved to this town which is…read moreone of the poorest towns in New Mexico, and everyone appears to be on SNAP. I don't know if the high prices are due to the "trapped" population. This store is consistent and is a good place to stop to pick up a couple things if you come in off the highway. Its kind of weird though with carpeting that give people static shocks. I saw one guy doing self checkout and he got such a loud crack of static that the checkout wand went flying out of his hand and landed 30 feet away, luckily it did not strike anyone. NM has the highest percentage of people on snap, and the prices here are high because it is the only grocery in this town

Our service was on point and the beers quenched my thirst. This place also serves food and appetizers are great when drinking beer. This place is tucked in the down town of Raton.

I also witnessed the regulars waiting a very long time at the counter to get the staff's attention for coffee refills. It is what it is but I think 4 to 5 stars is exorbitant. positives were that the coffee was probably good, the kitchen staff seemed nice and attentive, the place was clean, they exist at all, however, I would suggest encouraging the front of house staff to pay attention to who is there in case they need help. Also, it'd be nice to have some vegetables or something a bit more interesting on the sandwich. I'll have to go back to eating at Alfonsos.

Although I consider myself a coffee snob (I'm not a Starburnt fan at all), the coffee was just fine! The service was great and the servers were friendly. As expected in a small town, everyone knows everyone. Pretty much everyone greeted me when I walked in. I really like that. It reminds me of going to grab coffee with my dad and his friends when I was a child- 40 years ago or so. Brought back great memories. Sorry for the sentimental detour. I recommend this place for a waffle at least. I'll be back for a stuffed sopapilla this evening smothered with red chile! For this with the electric car persuasion- they even have a charging spot.
