The ambience of this place feels like I'm at grandmas house and she just made a delicious feast. Got the combination plate (#1) The enchilada and taquito were yummy! The taco? It was good but it needed a bit more flavor. Hubby got Mauro's special (something like that) The Chimichanga, Empanada and Gordita had a perfect crunch. The staff were kind and the price was good considering the amount of food. 2 plates 2 drinks $30 This is the place to stop by when you want a little taste of being in someone's home and getting homemade meal. We'll stop by again when we are on this side of town. read more

La Pasadita Cafe - Outside entrance - Mexican Near Me - Socorro, New Mexico

Third time is not the charm. Need to cook the red chile more- gives me a stomach ache each time. Food here isn't great. What really made me unhappy- they charged me $1 for each to go box, for my extra food after a sit down meal. Never in my 56 years have I been charged for a box for left overs....not disclosed on the menu. And not really allowed to see my check without asking. No thank you. read more

This place was the only thing open when we were in the area so we gave it a try. The service was the highlight of our visit as it seemed family owned and everyone was very attentive. The food isn't very flavorful it's a mix of taco bell style with New Mexican. The portions were ok and the price was right but the burrito didn't have much love or seasonings. The beans were just okay and the sopapilla was decent. There's ample parking and I found a few roaches in the bathroom. read more

Food here is delicious! I especially like the shredded beef tacos. The sopapillas are good when dine-in and fresh - one time we ordered them to go and they were not fresh. Red and green chili is awesome; pork adovada is delicious. Quesadilla was good with shredded chicken. Prices are good . I like the refried beans; rice is just okay. No liquor license yet and soft drinks are canned - could be improved on but overall, great place to eat if you're in Socorro! read more

La Pasadita Cafe - Mexican Near Me - Socorro, New Mexico

A few locals told me to check this place out, so I stopped by yesterday. The restaurant is big, and it looks like they're getting ready to open up a wine and bar area, which will be a good addition. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. I went with the shredded beef burrito and an order of sopapilla. The burrito was huge and packed with shredded beef that was really flavorful. Definitely not skimpy on the filling. The sopapilla is kind of like a fluffy fried doughnut and paired well with honey. I added some sliced bananas on top and it turned into a good dessert. Good prices, big portions, and tasty food. I can see why the locals love this spot. read more

Solid place. The staff is friendly. The decor a little sparse. The food was good and plentiful. The green chili not too hot. The only thing is the drink selection is very limited cans and bottles only no fountain and no alcohol. But all in all worth the stop read more

This is a great hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Socorro. I had the Combo #1 and my wife had the taquito plate. These were delicious. It was one of those experiences where you aren't sure from outside the restaurant, except that the tiny parking lot is busy, then you step inside and see how busy the restaurant is. We will be back. (No beer or other alcohol, so if you're looking for that kind of vibe, this place doesn't have it.) read more

I had been wanting to try this place for a long time and finally did when I passed through Socorro recently. I was not disappointed. The food was more Mexican than New Mexican, although sopapilllas are available as a side dish. Overall, the food was tasty and authentic. The Spanish rice had a mild garlic flavor, which was unique and very nice. The service was not especially speedy but I will cut them some slack, because I was there during a busy lunchtime. The place was packed when I arrived. (It is ironic that La Pasadita means quick trip or quick visit. I was there for a full hour.) Nevertheless, I found the waitstaff to be very pleasant and friendly. Socorro has limited dining options but I would put it at the top of my list for that town. It is at least as good as El Sombrero in its heyday. read more

The ambiance was nice, but the service could have been better. The food was ok, I appreciated it was homemade and had a decent flavor; but was surprised by the shredded potatoes in my beef taco....shredded potatoes were not listed in the ingredients. My group was large and I understand that can be confusing for waitstaff, but when you have multiple orders and many of them are wrong, ie, order beef enchiladas and only get tortillas, chile and cheese or you order chile on the side, and the waiter confirms verbally yet still brings you chile on top...you wonder what happened in the kitchen. I had read good reviews, but I likely won't be back. read more

Hours do not match website posting. Not open during states business hours. Drove here and called no answer and no one in on Tuesday at 3.

This restaurant is closed, though Yelp says it is open it is not, and when we went we called in case it moved, but it did not, it is straight up closed. read more

The service was quick and the food was great! Would definitely recommend. The prices were fair as well!

The food was fresh and delicious! The atmosphere was pleasant and so was the service. We wish them good luck as a new business! They worked very hard to cater to our dining needs. read more

My husband and I spent a 9 days traveling through New Mexico for vacation. And to eat. We are a lot of amazing things all over the state, but our favorite meal was here. It's an unassuming cafe filled with regulars (everyone seemed to know each other!). I was blown away with how good everything was. And it was their sopaipilla that blew me away. I'd been sampling them at so many places, but this was was perfection. Fluffy, chewy, crunchy and delicious - and served as the base for the Navajo taco. My husband's combo plate consisted of a Gordita, enchilada and an empanada - and again, each one of these items was the best we had during our travels. We were driving through Socorro and didn't spend much time in the area, but if we had we probably would have had every meal here. read more

We ate at some amazing farm to table restaurants on our road trip but when thinking about our best dining experiences, this one rises to the top. I ordered the two tostadas w/beans and rice plate and asked them to leave off the hamburger meat and give me a fried egg instead. It came with blue corn tortillas, of course, and the rice and beans were excellent. My companion ordered the tamales and was very pleased to find them made with more filling and less masa than usual, just the way she likes them. The service was great as was the music on the audio system -- high quality, instrumental mariachi -- atmospheric but not sappy. If we didn't live in central AZ, eating here along with the many local regulars would be a weekly ritual. read more

We had the beef enchiladas with both the red and green sauces! Both are excellent! We also got a smothered shredded beef burrito with both sauces. . Also excellent! The salsa is delicious but I think it's spicy I don't think I'm a light weight, but maybe I am ‍ crunchy taco was yum. Chips are nice a crunchy. Service is awesome. So friendly and helpful. Try it, you won't be sorry. read more

Nice Mexican restaurant with New Mexican food. Great service- the food is is good. Really enjoyed the enchiladas.

Hours: weird Location: odd Atmosphere: quaint Food: excellent Prices: amazing Portions: large Classic example of the humble family location that quickly becomes an instant favorite that you show off to your out-of-town guests. I will be eating here again read more

Loved my stuffed sopapilla, the beans tastes so good, and husband loved his handheld burrito. We were traveling from Albuquerque to Phoenix and stopped here on the way in our 5th wheel. The lady who answered the phone was sweet and told us the best way to get to her restaurant and even was watching for us. Service was fantastic. They only sell canned coke to go, nothing in a cup with ice. It was like being taken care of by your mom. Can't wait to come back! read more

Authentic new Mexican home cooking. A mile from the interstate we were driving through. Well worth the stop. I had the blue enchilada plate and my wife had the taco plate. Excellent lunch. read more

Very good empanadas good food fair price I like this place a lot. I have eaten here twice very excellent service I think I found a new lunch spot. read more

Can't beat the enchiladas here. Just like in the old days of great New Mexican stacked enchiladas. Red and green chile are both great and the egg is always cooked perfectly (not to be taken for granted). And they still make puffy, light sopapillas. This is a great family run restaurant. Long on charm with a formica anbience. read more

Off the beaten path, in the old part of town. Limited hours: 10 to 2. Cash only, so be ready. Unique twist on the tacos, the meat has a mix of ground beef and refried beans with a little bit of red chili, very good. Chimichanga also had a dash of red chili in it, they are unique, very good. Salsa and chips were tasty and not too hot. Friendly service, clean, quiet atmosphere. read more

Excellent service and food. Had the stuffed sopapilla smothered with red and green chile. I would definitely come back and recommend to anyone passing through. read more

A great little hole in the wall. Both the green and red chilli had a lot of flavor, made with local chili's. The over easy egg is not something you typically see on a menu and definitely worth a try on top of the enchiladas. The sopapillas were light and fluffy but also crispy and even better with the honey that was provided. read more

One of if not the best place to eat in town. Picture going to your Spanish grandmother's house. Walking in and the smell of delicious beautiful food. Yeah this place is that. As for the food! Like I said delicious and beautiful. A must try to get authentic NEW MEXICAN food. read more

Small place down a one way street that is serving up homemade authentic New Mexico style cuisine. Don't judge by the exterior appearance and be sure to bring cash because no cards are excepted. This quaint little place will give you a taste of true local cuisine and hospitality. The blue tortilla enchiladas are excellent topped with the green chile sauce and a fried egg are a must try for Tahoe who are hungry. While the Frito pie is different but a tasty treat. If you are in town don't miss this opportunity to check out this local gem. read more

I finally got around to visiting La Pasadita last week, after it's long been the only restaurant in Socorro I haven't tried. Well, I'm amazed it took me so long, as La Pasadita is a top choice in town. First, the limitations to know: the hours are limited to lunchtime only and they're also cash only, not common in Socorro. Well, that's the bad news. Other than that, La Pasadita is excellent. The restaurant is small and very casual, and the staff were very friendly. I had the chimichanga plate which was fantastic, and we also enjoyed excellent sopaipillas. All in all, I'd say La Pasadita delivered my favorite New Mexican lunch in Socorro, and all at a very reasonable price. If you're looking for lunch I'd definitely head here. I'm looking forward to trying the rest of the menu! read more
