Nice small Town family bar and grill, In the old days, we would call it a tavern. With definitely a…read morelocal feel. Both the husband and wife who own the place work there and really try to make a difference. All the staff I met were very helpful and kind. I love the fact that they got locally sourced.Chiles for their salsas and their chillie cheeseburgers. Although I had a tech burger , I made sure I got a side of the local chiles. They have an extensive variety of food chicken dishes, salad's and burgers. Restaurants and bars are also about expectations, what type of bar and restaurant are you going to? And everyone is under staffed, so I always appreciate the service staff who are working. The small town restaurants you have to remember serve local families, ranchers, couples on dates to workers on temporary assignment for cable or some other service and really are gathering places. They're not used to big city out of town tourists.So if you keep that in mind you'll have a great experience at any of the small towns you visit. They offer quite a variety of New Mexico beers as well as some regular favorites. They make quite a variety of cocktails as well. Single diners are welcome at the bar or they'll fit you in a table.If that's not too busy.

Horrible service. It took waiter three times to go by us before she could bring us to go boxes and…read moreit happened ONLY after we asked for another waiter. Chicken fired steak is terrible as well as dipped ice cream. One of the worst ice creams I had. The only nice thing about the food were mozzarella wedges - those were really good. Cheese was on top and hot and perfect. Atmosphere felt like a regular chain restaurant rather than a special place with a cool design and where you want to return to LOOK rather than to just eat. They did have some TV's so you could watch some games. Family friendly with spacious seating

My wife and I celebrated our first anniversary on Saturday, March 21, 2026. We went to Ranchers in…read moreRuidoso. We were told that the wait time was 1.5 hours, and we decided to wait in the bar. Brianna, the amazing manager (we had met her on our previous visit) arranged to have us seated in the bar for dinner, no waiting! There we met the incredible Ed the Barman, who took care of us personally, both drinks and dinner. Ed made us the best martinis we had in years and even created a special cocktail for my wife. We had the onion rings as an appetizer, which were amazingly tasty. Among the four of us, we had shrimp cocktail, prime rib, sirloin, and filet mignon. We had a side of excellent grilled asparagus and my wife had a superb Caesar salad. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. For dessert, we enjoyed cheesecake and carrot cake, both top-notch. My father, who was from the East Coast and constantly in search of 'New York style' cheesecake, would have been delighted. For our family, Ranchers is the cream of the crop in Ruidoso. Brianna and Ed, along with other employees, turned our anniversary into a world-class celebration! Thank you, Brianna, Ed, and all the Ranchers staff. (If you go to see Ed, which we recommend, be sure to wear a Hawaiian shirt.)

We reserved seats in the bar area which was dimly lit and so quiet and intimate. The service was excellent and attentive without being overbearing. The food was - wow, wow, WOW!! We have never been here before so I'm not sure what the normal menu is - there was an option for a turkey & ham dish for Thanksgiving but we both opted for the ribeye. Hands down the best steak I have ever had. It was served with some delicious lightly baked/fried... I'm not sure .. maybe toasted ... potato that was mashed inside that was like a pillow of heaven, and also came with a perfectly roasted side of broccolini. We're definitely making reservations for Christmas! If you are looking for something less intimate, book the dining room - that seemed more boisterous and had more lighting than the bar area. Our meal, the service, the ambience - it was all absolutely perfect!! 10/10!!

I had the surf and turf tacos which tasted superb, the spices, "secret" sauce and the different textures created a blast of flavors. The green cactus tortillas paired well with all the ingredients. I was pleasantly surprised that their food was not drenched in grease which I appreciate. They offer a small and concise menu, nothing is overpriced. Great addition to Los Lunas community and New Mexico food trucks. Will be returning soon.

One of my colleagues used to work in Socorro, so she was happy to be our tour guide for that segment of the trip, sharing personal anecdotes, fun facts, local insights, and other background on Socorro County. After our meeting and brief windshield tour, we ended up at Desert Diamond for lunch, and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is a no-frills mom and pop that specializes in New Mexican cuisine. There was a decent crowd in the restaurant for the lunch rush, and all signs indicated that this place would be solid. Once we were seated, and I had a chance to scan the menu, I quickly landed on the stuffed sopaipillas since I had never had that particular dish before. About ten minutes later, our meals were expertly delivered to our table in perfect unison. The stuffed sopaipilla came out piping hot and extremely well-seasoned.
