Here's what I tasted: Posole- This was outstanding and well flavored Posole. I'm giving it 4 of 5 stars! Pollo asado- This was just good for me. The service was attentive and there's a small bar inside. I'll be back to have a drink and some tacos!

They came with lettuce and cheese and he asked for pico de gallo on his as well. My daughter and I both got chicken quesadillas with added pico. They have a salsa bar where I was able to get us a couple to try on our dishes. The food was ready quickly and we took it outside to where my husband was at a picnic table with our two dogs. We ate outside on a lovely evening. I wish I had grabbed a fork before going outside. The dining room closed an hour before the posted closing time. So we could not get back in. The food was tasty and the salsas had wonderful heat. When we finished we disposed of our trash and left the tray on top of the trash can next to the door.

Yea, Yelp! Another…read morefantastic find in a kinda out of the way place for me and my party. CASH ONLY! before I forget. Adam is the perfect person to introduce one to his family's establishment. Explains everything for the newbies. Patient and erudite. Such poise in such a young person. It's a small dining area. Clearly a local fave. Phone was ringing off the hook. But many clearly knew their way around. A few ppl walked in, placed their order and said they'd be back at such and such a time. There's only a small kitchen We got to mean Domenic, our cook A sweetheart and a skilled chef. The food itself seems straightforward and pretty simple, but each dish had its own flavor which I think is pretty hard to do and each was so satisfyingly delicious. I think I would've bn satisfied with just the menudo and the half order of nachos, but didn't know it at the time we ordered so we went on and got the El Faro burger, my friend ordered the cheese enchiladas and of course we got the chile Christmas on the side. Fantastic! And a tremendous value. We were quite shocked that our entire meal, including 2 sodas came to less that $40, such that we left double that bc these small businesses are such treasures and we want such places to remain in business. Seemed there were quite a few locals but also lots of travelers coming through. I certainly plan to be back soon!

Nut Brown Ale is a pretty good beer, and IMO the best option on tap. My understanding is that the restaurant has closed for good, but on some nights of the week you can order a good range of food from the bar. On the other nights, you still may be able to order a hot dog or a brat.

I had the Foster burger which hit the spot for a late dinner (kinda a patty melt on Texas toast). The drink menu included a short list of simple cocktails- but they were good and made well. Like most places in Chama as you head into off season, their kitchens closes early on sundays (if they are even open on sundays). Well stocked bar. Their service was excellent. There was only one bartender who was also hostess and waitress and she handled everything so smoothly and politely. Definitely a place to check out for drinks and to hang out and shoot some pool.

The appearance and atmosphere is almost identical to Val's. If you liked Val's you will be happy to know they seem to have kept the best of Val's. I had the Taco Plate as I almost always did at Val's and, with the exception of the chips and salsa, it was just as good as Val's. Unfortunately, they have gone with the traditional chips found in most Mexican restaurants instead of the extra thick and crunchy ones Val's was known for. Definitely want to get over and try their breakfast.

As I travel throughout the southwest for work, I use huevos rancheros to set the bar for return visits to restaurants. Fina's had some of the best I have had in New Mexico.

The ground-beef enchiladas were good (as opposed to great), and I really enjoyed the rice and beans. Smallish glasses and my great thirst after a hot day's work both contributed to the downing of a half-dozen iced teas! We went on a Monday night - special hours - and we'd love to have this place as a regular dinner option in Chama.

The first night there was a 4 taco special for $7.50 but I upgraded my tacos to carnitas. Asada, and pastor for $1.50. The pastor was my favorite but they were all good. Hubs had the enchiladas (per usual) and was happy. Our little loved the chicken tenders and the fries are delicious. The second time she had rice and beans and declared them the best she'd ever had! At lunch I had the quesobirria special and they were definitely the best id ever had. I'm often disappointed, but here- not a bit! The service is so friendly and helpful! It has a family feel. The house margs are top notch AND they have a salsa bar! That's nearly unheard of post-Covid so three cheers for that perk! We'd definitely return here!

When I offered to pay cash to avoid it, the waiter suddenly said he had to change the check because he had "forgotten to charge us for extra tortillas," which felt shady. To make matters worse, both myself and a friend who ordered the fajitas are sick to our stomachs the next day, which raises concerns about food safety. Overall a very poor experience. We won't be back.
