The line goes fairly quickly though. Inside, there's baked goods, whole bean coffee, some souvenirs and other little trinkets to buy like cute, signs, mugs and more! The seating is very casual, and the service is quick and attentive. They have great mimosas also if you're looking for a boozy brunch. The bubbly is served in individual mini bottles of quality prosecco, and you can decide on how much FRESH OJ you would like. Yes, I suggest indulging in the fresh squeezed OJ. They have an extensive menu of sweet (crepes, waffles, pancakes) and savory choices for breakfast and lunch. However, I decided on the Carne Adovado (slow cooked pork) breakfast. The portion size was perfect and not excessive like most breakfast spots. Everything was tasty and made me feel satisfied. Those red chile flavors had all the nuances for a breakfast party in my mouth. The potatoes were nicely prepared and free of the extra grease like the other breakfast spots. I would definitely repeat the Cornerstone experience when in Ruidoso again!

The service was not the best, but was actually borderline rude. I realize it's a food truck, but a little training on how to greet, speak to, and thank a customer is needed. If you eat here, don't expect a thank you ... be happy with "here's your food". .... I'm old enough to remember when customer service was the norm. A simple "hello, what would you like to order?" or even just a "thank you" is not too much to ask after spending hard earned money at their business. The management needs to train their employees with simple lessons of common courtesy. imo

Enchiladas were filled with old beef. Tasted old and stale, like it was cheap beef that had been warmed up in a microwave.

The rice had the same stale, old oil taste. Not fit to eat, really.

The place was packed when we arrived, but gratefully time was on our side and we were able to be seated promptly without a wait. They have a walk up counter outside where you can place to-go orders. Just come back in 15 minutes after ordering (they won't call ya). Looks simple, divey and well loved and the crowds are the proof! We ordered jumbo pizzas and a couple of cheese slices for my 10-year old. The slices are huge, definitely only need 1 for a kiddo. We didn't know lol. Slices are giving New York, so fold in half and bite. If you have toddlers that typically eat 1 slice, I would even say order 1 slice to cut in half. Mom of 5 here ‍...you're welcome lol. Lemonade was fresh squeezed, sweetened, but naturally on the tart side. My kids weren't a fan, but I thought it was excellent! They don't know what's up. But if you have kids, maybe yours won't like it either lol. I enjoy Gingerale but usually don't get it because most brands contain high fructose corn syrup amongst other junk. I was unaware of the Boylan brand until today! Enjoyed it very much with our meal. Was light and refreshing. We'll look for it elsewhere now. I like gourmet pizza and my husband doesn't. This was a good middle. "Not too gourmet" he says. I say it's a step above the major chains. Thin crust and lighter without all the bloat to follow, but still a little greasy lol. Take that as you may! Highly recommend this stop for pizza lovers. We'd come back! Staff was attentive though the place was and seems constantly busy. When I hear cafe I don't think pizza, but now I just might lol. No complaints!

We tried a kale soup with sausage, it tasted healthy, if you know what I mean. The pizza also tasted healthy, despite being full of meats. I wonder if I misread the menu and this is a vegan place, or a health store. The place looks a little bit like a ski shop. Our waitress was nice but other random staff members were nicer. At some point, a podcast started playing and replaced the emo/skater playlist. This place is weird. I think this is a thin crust pizza town...
