    This place is a small, rustic diner serving good New Mexican cuisine. We were here for breakfast…read moreand we left with full bellies. I had the Picadillo and Eggs and this was great - well spiced ground beef with a side of eggs, this arrived with potatoes and tortillas. It was a nice protein-forward meal and a more unique breakfast option, which I appreciated. The space is no-frills and a bit rustic, but they offer good food at very reasonable prices.

    HAIR IN OUR FOOD As a Yelp Elite Member, I take my reviews…read moreseriously and always aim to be fair. I don't like giving bad reviews, but this experience left me disgusted and disappointed. The food was good, and everyone in our group enjoyed their meals. We even packed up leftovers to take home. But just as we were finishing, my grandson's mother noticed a thick, coarse hair on his plate. Finding a hair in food is always stomach-turning, but discovering it after I had already eaten made it worse. It made me wonder: What else did I miss? I showed the hair to our server, who immediately removed the plate--and to be fair, I could tell the hair wasn't from her. The issue was how management handled it: a 10% discount and zero real concern. No apology from a manager, no real effort to make it right--just a small discount and moving on. That response left a bad taste in my mouth. Had it not been for the hair, I would have rated this place 4 stars. The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was casual, and the food was enjoyable. But the way this was handled knocked my rating down to 2 stars. We were so put off that, even though our leftovers were packed and ready to go, we left them behind. I debated between 1 and 2 stars but settled on 2 because the food itself was good. That said, this experience made it impossible to recommend this place.

    Food in a surreal Wes Anderson Roswell set location, that's what the decor and uniform felt like…read morefor use with the retro waitress uniforms, Day of The Dead Details, and generous use of pink paint throughout the interior. Service was great and I loved our waitress, she was super friendly and made sure our coffees were full and our meal was good. This was our first meal at Roswell and it was SO good for a small-town breakfast cafe. It was also our first daytime experience with the touristy Alien decor via their window painting. Breakfast Quesadilla: With hashbrowns and beans. My friend loved this and destroyed it. I tried a quesadilla and it tasted amazing. Carne Asada: I got this plate and just based on the high quality of the rice and beans I knew the meat would be good. The rice and beans were seriously some of the best I've had in awhile and when the tortilla came in its own container I knew the meat and tortilla would be amazing as well. This was a decadent breakfast for me and tasted great.

    It was busy for a weekday in the afternoon so you know it has to be good. I was recommended this…read moreplace my the lady at the office was working at and one of my patients so I decided to give it a try. It is quite noisy so when you walk in there is a sign that says Please wait to be Seated but someone from somewhere tells have a seat and you don't know of it is directed to you. So you stand there looking dumb. Then again yelled Sit anywhere. I grab the only open clean table. The waitress comes over and gives me a menu and asks if I want water. I said yes. She can back and brought me chips and salad but forgot my drink. After 10 mins she returns to take my order. I ordered the kids taquito plate. Waited about 10 more mins to get my food. In the mean time I started with the chips and salsa. It was good but I think made with more chipotle chilies than jalapeños. It gave it that burnt taste. Or maybe it was burnt because they just have it in a large stock pot sitting under a heating lamp. My food came out and it was larger than expected. It came with 3 taquitos, a large scoop of beans and rice. I did not care for the flavor of either. The beans tasted like they came from a can and the rice was not very flavorful. What makes up for the stars is the chicken taquitos. They were ever flavorful. Juicy and well seasoned chicken. I also loved the fresh guacamole with the plate. About that water, I never received it.

The interior is surprisingly large with a spacious dining room to the right, more seating near the bar, and even an outdoor space that had live music when we went. Spicy Beef Nachos Appetizer: Chips topped with queso, green onions, jalapeños, black olives, tomatoes, guacamole, and sour cream. My friend got this and I had a couple bites. Chips were not soggy and it was large enough to cover as his dinner. Green Chile Burger: Topped with monterey jack cheese and roasted chopped Chaves County-grown hot green chile. Served on a jalapeño bun with a side of our hot green chile sauce. Their signature burger and it tasted good. I don't need too much food but the amount of fries I got was too little even for me. Got two Johnny Walker Blacks with a splash of coke and they came well mixed and quickly. We did end up getting rained in and hilariously went back for a second dinner to wait out the rain. Black corn taquitos were OK, I would not get the fried shrimp basked again, the shrimp was too small and there was too much breading.

    My first meal in Roswell was this spot and it was a good option…read more I had a Combination Plate with 3 items: taco, chile relleno and enchilada. This was a nice portion of food with a good amount of flavor in each dish. The beef enchilada was probably the best item out of the three - well seasoned beef in a tortilla, covered with good chile sauce. The service was just okay - it seemed like we were almost inconveniencing our server, but at least the host was friendly. Despite being fairly empty, it did take a little while for our food to arrive. After some research, this seemed to be one of the better options for New Mexican food in Roswell, so I'd probably go back on my next visit.

    It is nice to come to a restaurant that is a staple of a community. Most of the time, diners, pizza…read moreshops, ice cream parlors serve this purpose, and sometimes, cafeterias/coffee shops, bakeries do. A little bit less common yet, we find restaurants that provide this space over a long period of time. Martin's Capitol Cafe would be such. We ordered a tamale, carne adovada and a chimichanga. The chimichanga wasn't deep fried but pan fried, which was not common and already a red flag. We got our food and it was just OK. The chips and salsa were good, but the food was OK. My portion was also small, and the rice was a bit dry. Maybe we ordered wrong... The restaurant is also a bit well worn. It adds charm but I think charm that is not backed up with good food is like a band-aid over a bleeding wound.

Restaurant is located in an old Burger King which is a great use of an empty building. The restaurant is clean and well maintained. We were told to pick our seat and were attended to promptly. While looking around, it appeared that locals dine here. We ordered breakfast and lunch. Foodie number two ordered the Breakfast Tacos plate (egg, potato, and bacon on flour tortillas). Also, we ordered two Gorditas (1- tripas and 1-shredded beef). We washed it down with Mexican Coke Cola (made with real sugar NOT corn syrup). Our food was served hot and fresh. As always, we encourage you to stop by Taqueria Jalisco to give it a try for yourself.

The beef soup/stew had big chunks of meat, lots of veggies and came with a kick! I never had sopapilla before and it did not disappoint.

The service was great and the place has plenty of seating even when there is an aviation event in town. The restaurant was clean and with a very traditional feel and spacious. They can accommodate large parties for sure.
