    Some of the best Mexican food east of California!…read more Great quality and great prices. We stop here every time we cross the country. Just a few blocks away from the freeway with plenty of parking.

    Short background, as I understand it,... Si Senor restaurants, located in Las Cruces, Deming, and…read moreChandler, are independently owned by different members of the Castillo family (so they are not owned by the same people.... just members of the same family). This includes two Si Senors, and Si Senor Express in Las Cruces, one location in Deming, and one location in Chandler, AZ. I've been to all five. Each location offers a different level of quality, of basically the same menu (some more than others). I have reviewed the other four in their own separate reviews here on Yelp. (HINT: My favorite locations are the Lohman in LC, and the one in Chandler. I used to like the Express, but they have cut corners too much, including slicing their stuffed sopaipillas in half to only include the top portion of the pastry). The Deming location is perhaps the second least favorite of the author of this review (leaving their White Sage Ct one for last). To start with, the service was excellent. Not sure, but it seemed that family members of the owner were waiting tables and working the register. They were on point, and were doing a good job, never idle, always cleaning or preparing for the morning crowd. The food, however, wasn't up to par with the other restaurants. Ok, so maybe better than some other restaurants, just not the family's other ones... The prices at all locations are different. The Deming prices are very reasonable, and a big factor as to why we stopped here on our recent trip through Deming. The dish I ordered was to have been smothered in green chile and cheese. There was about a tablespoon of cheese, and maybe 1/8 C of chopped chile. The other thing was their weird tasting sopaipillas. Not bad, just weird. They had a hint of vanilla flavoring, making them sweet and donut like tasting. Which is ok if you have some for desert, and actually good. But I usually don't. I use them to scoop up my plate. But also, makes for some weird tasting stuffed sopaipillas. One thing of note, is that the LC and, if I recall correctly, the Chandler location, has the four 1/4 C salsas; a red, green, cream cheese and green chile, chorizo and bean. Here, there was just the one, the red, which made us sad, but it was different than the red included at the other restaurants, it was much BETTER! Really tdf. The chips were house made and really crunchy, which I like. 5 stars on the salsa and chips! Overall, would we eat here again? Sure. The price is right, the staff are spot on, and the salsa is excellent. I'll just order something else next time. They do have an "American food" portion to their menu. May be worth a try...?

You'll be even happier with the squeaky clean, inviting little dining room, the sweet ladies who serve, the kind locals, and the excellent food. We had driven a few hours and were more than ready for breakfast! This was it, I said and hubby wanted to pass when we pulled up, but agreed to walk inside and see. Say no more. We were greeted by lovely ladies. The friendly happy locals were enjoying their beautiful breakfast and the dining room is delightful. Without hesitation, we took a table. This was going to be a great stop! And we were right! I got the egg white veggie omelet, and she was instantly agreeable to my multiple substitutions. Instead of hashbrowns and toast, I asked for creamy delicious refried beans. Yes! Instead of egg whites, I wanted the whole 3 eggs! Yes! And may I have salsa for my omelet? Yes, and how about a whole bowl? When the salsa was getting low, she asked if I would like more. Yes, please! This salsa was worth its own photo shoot, so flavorful and just the spiciness I love, about medium. Hubby enjoyed his chicken fried steak with white milk gravy. Yeah, I broke my diet and had a few bites! So good!!!

    Driving through the town of Deming in SW New Mexico and saw this restaurant off the 10 freeway. We…read morewere warmly greeted by the owner who told us to pick a table we preferred . There's a small u shaped bar seating and larger dining areas on either side . I noticed a couple of ribbons on the counter and he mentioned his salsa , red chili snd BBQ has won local awards . He brought out a complimentary basket of chips and green Hatch chili salsa to start . Oh boy! This was the best salsa! Tasty with a kick but not too spicy . My daughter scooped up every last bit. He suggested the special burrito. ($13?) I took his advise and got it . It was humongous! Definitely enough to share . My daughter wanted the salmon dinner which was standard fare so, she helped me eat my burrito instead . My burrito was way better . It had everything but the kitchen sink in it . Sooo good . Even though we ate until we were full , we still had 1/2 a burrito left! (Ate the rest for breakfast the next day !) Glad we found this gem driving through on our road trip. * The owners Hatch chili salsa should be sold in jars !

Glad we stopped because the Chile Relleno was one of the best I had in a long time. The shell was very crispy. Wow covered with sauce. Hard to make crispy inside. The rice and beans came with. It was really good too. We're also order the steak, medium rare, but we had to send it back for a little more cooking. Overall, the flavor was very good. Came with fries and a salad.
