    Excellent service. Kind and attentive staff. The kitchen didn't seem to mind accommodating our dietary needs. Everything was delicious! It's a cozy, mom and pop sort of place that delivers on nice portions, good flavor, you leave feeling satisfied and full. Will come back again:)

    Fajitas for two. Beef
    Anita B.

    The service here is slow, and not professional. Waitresses take forever to attend to you before your meal. Never refilled drinks, or chips and salsa. We ordered fajitas, and they were okay. I have better ones at home with better cuts of meat. We also got tostadas, those were fine. Our waitress was on her phone causing her to only bring us two small plates or one plate at a time to our table. Our food arrived without tortillas, and we waited about 1 minute before I started writing this review, and we still don't have them. It's been at least 5 minutes. I saw them sitting at the window, ended up just getting them myself. When ready to checkout they had to track her down again. Hopefully that gets resolved soon

    Chicken enchiladas at Jorge's Cafe

    I did not spot too many options as I passed through Ruidoso Downs but I'm glad that Jorge's caught my eye. This place isn't fancy but it's delicious. I arrived during the super busy lunch rush but there was no wait right then. Five minutes later, the line is out the door. Oops. The lunch special was completely keto unfriendly. It beats up keto in the schoolyard and takes its lunch money. It was chips and salsa to start. Warm chips and a wet salsa that I somehow didn't wear. Main course took about five minutes - two enchiladas with rice and beans. I chose both green and red sauce and it was great. Stuffed with a spiced chicken and topped with cheese, all the carbs you need for an afternoon nap. Cheap as heck, too! [Review 17464 overall - 74 in New Mexico - 982 of 2022.]

    We came back to visit family here in Ruidoso. So we enjoyed our last visit so much because the food was so good so we had to come back. Great service.

    Burrito

    We ate at this gem twice while in Ruidoso. We have been all over Mexico eating different regional food and this is some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. The Green chile sauce is fantastic. On our last visit we had Chili Rellenos Burrito and suiza enchiladas. The caramel stuffed Churro is also off the charts. The service is excellent. The Margaritas are made with agave wine and are very unique. Go there and go again.

    A work in progress!

    Loving the expansion to this gem in Ruidoso! More people will be able to experience their phenomenal food!!

    Do they use tequila or REAL alcohol in margaritas. Just says agave based. That doesn't mean tequila?

    Tequila is made from the Agave plant, and the drink is in the section of the menu that has other alcoholic drinks, so I think it's safe to assume it has alcohol. I've also seen other menus that referred to them as Agave Margaritas and they contained…

The variety of salsa they had were quite good too, they varied in spiciness so I'm sure anyone could find one they'd like. The caldo de res was good, but I prefer it made with a different type of meat. The pozole could have used more hominy but that's just personal preference, it had good flavor but it was very spicy so keep that in mind if you can't handle heat. The place has plenty of seating, free WiFi, and good friendly service. The only thing lacking was ambiance, at least when I was there, there was no music playing, just the sound of other customers eating, and my thoughts. You order at the counter, they do have to-go orders, and they have a large variety of options on their menu so if you're hungry I'm sure you'll find something you'll like.

The chips were fresh and the salsas were tasty! I ordered chilaquiles, he recommended the red ones. The salsa was delicious (a bit too hot, and I can take hot) the chilaquiles chips were freshly fried and they were crispy and chewy, perfect to my taste. I paired them with a pineapple agua fresca, and it was also made from real fruit and delicious. I was very glad I decided to give it a chance. The food was way better than average. Pretty much the the best Mexican food I've had in Ruidoso. It had real depth and real Mexican tones. Not just some guy making Mexican food, but someone that knows the true depth of Mexican flavors.
