Stopped on our way through town. Food was excellent. Servers were very pleasant and attentive. Great decor and soft rock music. Would stop here again. read more

We come here quite a bit - the food is usually great, and there are actually vegetarian options that aren't just frozen mixed veggies thrown in a tortilla (looking at you, Calvillo's). The margaritas aren't perfect, but they're good and very well priced. My biggest complaint is the service charge for using a credit card - this should be built into the price, as it brings more business in than a cash-only business would. read more

We'd been driving all day and wanted to go somewhere to relax and have some comfort food. Nino's fit the bill. The restaurant was about half full and we got a booth pretty quickly. The booths are enclosed so they are quiet. You can have a conservation without shouting. After seating we were brought chips & (red) salsa. The chips were thicker, but the salsa was more flavorful than we usually get in SE Texas. We ordered house frozen margaritas, machaca enchiladas, and crispy relleno & cheese enchilada. Everything was very good. The green sauce really made the difference. We'd come back again. read more

Nino's Del Sol - House Frozen Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Alamosa, Colorado

See all

We were instantly seated in a cozy booth in this super clean establishment. Our drink orders were taken promptly and the house margarita was quite good. Complimentary chips and salsa were unremarkable but fresh. The same can be said of the entrees we ordered. The green chili sauce was good. What was under it was extremely salty, so much so that we had to push it aside. We had eaten here on previous travels through Alamosa and the servings were well seasoned. Not so this time. Even the guacamole was overly salty. This would be a better review if the salt had been taken down a couple botches. read more

Great service, three of us ordered different items. All were excellent. I loved my Azteca, the stacked enchilada was delicious too. Beer was served in chilled mugs and my margarita was perfect. Highly recommend Ninos. read more

Steak fajitas were outstanding. Chili relleno was delicious, and the fried ice cream and chocolate cake were the perfect ending. Service was very good and ambience was delightful for our 45th anniversary. read more

Last nights dinner at Nino's was an absolute delight. We were greeted by a lovely young woman who also turned out to be our server. Her recommendations and service were top notch. Isabella is a joy. The rest of the staff was also pretty great. Definitely recommend. read more

The service was a little slow but very good (they have a help wanted sign on their second entry door...). The food was typical Tex-Mex . The environment was nice on the patio with good weather and looks like they have cute booths inside as an option too! read more

Margaritas were great. Chips were numerous and the salsa was good and spicy. The meals were traditional and filing. A win all the way around. read more

Food is okay but the real problem is the auto tip at 20% and the extra charge for using a credit card. I think a tip should be a plus for great service not a given. read more

This hands down is the best Food I have even eaten! I recommend the tamale and fried(crispy) chilli relleno!! Service is quick and so nice. Looks and Smells amazing and very clean. read more

Average to me. They didn't have soda water, tamales or queso which was a bummer. Since being pregger all I want to take the desire for a Marg is soda bubbly water and lime. Lol. We all loved the green chili. And we're grateful we could get in various heat levels. I got the chicken and bean taco salad which was very good and the chicken especially was very moist and tender. I wish that the guac was different. I don't know how to describe it, it wasn't very creamy and was almost tangy? Over all my coworkers loved their margs and their meals as well. read more

We had tamales, rellenos, enchiladas, and taco salad. All were delicious as were the margaritas. Efficient, kind, attentive service. We will be back. read more

In Alamosa, Nino's the place to go whether just passing through, or if you're a local. Basic satisfying Tex-mex with good service, large portions and reasonable prices. The ambiance is casual, relaxed, beer and alcohol flow and in all, it's a good scene. Stick with the basics and you'll enjoy. read more

Nino's Del Sol - a dining room with a stone fireplace - Mexican Near Me - Alamosa, Colorado

By far the best Mexican food Ive eaten out. Normally won't go out for Mexican, but we literally wait all year for this place! Tamales are worth the drive from Arizona, and they freeze them for us to buy and take home. Service is always great and the green chile is to die for. 5 Star review isn't high enough! read more

The was great but the service sucked! Our waitress was hard to understand and very rude. We would ask for items 3-4 times and still did not get some of our requests. Especially napkins. Turn off by the 20% and the credit card service fee. The server did not deserve 20%. Will be sometime before we go back. Maybe Rosalinda will have moved on! read more

The good: Delicious food!! The owner was AWESOME!! The restaurant was tidy, we loved the ambiance. Booths are private which I absolutely love. 5 stars for the food and the restaurant. The bad: Our waitress (Selena) was very inattentive and quite rude.I hate to say it but we were very disappointed with her service. She was short, unfriendly and rolled her eyes every time she walked away from our table. She acted as though we were an inconvenience and didn't care whether we came back or not. My drink was empty and not once did she offer to get me another. We ran out of napkins before our entrees ever arrived and we asked for more, they never came. She never even checked on us to ask how our food was ‍ We will definitely be back but will request a different waitress read more

I'm usually full before the food arrives because I've nearly drank the salsa. Chile cheese fries go hard.

Nino's accomodated our group of about 40 when another Alamosa restaurant didn't come through for us even though we had reservations. The staff was very friendly and accommodating on such short notice. Everyone at our table thoroughly enjoyed the food they ordered. The menu is pretty standard Mexican fare. I ordered a steak chimichanga and had them make it "California Style" with French fries inside. Holy dang! It was ridiculous. Restaurant is clean and nice inside. Easy to access if you're passing through Alamosa. Give it a whirl. read more

Driving through Alamosa, Colorado from Redondo Beach, California. Stopped at Nino's Del Sol restaurant and got the worst surprise of my life!!! Our waitress brought chips and salsa, which was very spicy. I asked for a more milder enchilada sauce, which I was told was NOT spicy. SO FAR from the truth!!! That sauce was even more spicy!! I ordered the machaca burrito, and got the spiciest machaca I've ever eaten!!! Tried ordering guacamole, and was told there were jalapeños in the guacamole!!! The waitress told me all dishes were spicy!!! I ended up ordering a Hamburger AT A MEXICAN RESTAURANT!! The only item I WAS TOLD, was not spicy!! very disappointing!! The owner & Management should cook and serve items that Everyone can enjoy. I won't be coming through Alamosa again for a while, but when I do, I WON'T be dining at Nino's Del Sol!! read more

Fire breakfast burritos. Lunch and dinner pretty good too. One of the best Mexican in the valley!

My husband and I have eaten at Nino's many times. It is a popular Mexican restaurant In Alamosa, CO. We've had their chile rellenos, steak enchilada, and burritos. They're not bad, they're actually good, but somehow missing something, I don't know what. Taste needs a little more oomph! Service is always excellent as the servers are at the ready to take your order, serve your meal, take your plates away, put leftovers in to-go containers and provide your tab. No complaints there! read more

Nino's Del Sol - a plate of mexican food - Mexican Near Me - Alamosa, Colorado

Good food. We ordered tamales, chalupas, enchiladas, and machaca. Took a while to get our food, though.

Great food!! Excellent service and nice ambiance. Been there twice in one week already!

Food is okay. Be sure to bring your own bag if you order carry out. Wait staff is generally friendly but not today.

We were en route from Albuquerque to Pueblo, and stopped for gas in Alamosa. It was noon, so I asked the gas station attendant for a recommendation - he said, Nino's next door is really good. So we went to Nino's, and it was great! To be safe in an unfamiliar restaurant, I ordered Nino's Burrito and my wife ordered Nino's Combination. Both were very delicious! The server Dennis was super friendly and efficient, and our food came out quickly. Atmosphere was very pleasant with lots of locals. Prices were very reasonably. Highly recommended. (Note: there are several Mexican restaurants at that corner, so be sure to select Nino's!) read more

This used to be my favorite restaurant in Alamosa. Tonight I came in and I sat at a table for 50 minutes before my food was served. The food was very lackluster. I ordered a chicken chimichanga with mild green chile. It was blah/bland and I left part of it on the plate. The chips and salsa aren't a flavorful as they used to be, either. What a shame. Hope management can get it turned back around. read more

Not only was the server dismissive and rude (over 45 min to take out order) but when she finally took our order, all the Chile relleno was "sold out". This was after many large groups ordered before us. The worst part? Multiple members of my group were vomiting the next morning... major health issues with eating here and I STRONGLY recommend you steer clear. There are plenty of other good Mexican restaurants to eat at and it is NOT worth the risk read more

Food is soooooooooo good, service has really improved...it would be nice if the seats in the booths were more comfortable but other than that this is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the valley. I love that I can upgrade my green chile to hot because I can't find hot green chile anywhere around here...beware the Monte vista Ninos is nothing like the Alamosa location, Also keep in mind portions are huge we always have leftovers :) read more

This place has horrible service with no pride in their product. This place used to be 5 stars and is now a 1/2 star at best. We sat for 45 minutes and never even got our orders taken. The worst part is that there was 4 servers and they weren't even busy. Servers were sitting around doing nothing so we finally stood up and walked out. read more

Ninos might be the best Mexican food in the Valley. We eat here about once a month and it never gets old. The service is great, a tad slow but worth it. The quesadilla sampler is the best thing on the menu. Great atmosphere as well. read more

Food was excellent, very tasty and the food had a delicious spice. The waitress was also very attentive to our needs and prompt with our food. We were seated in the patio, very relaxing and clean. We enjoyed the whole experience. I highly recommend! read more

I'm giving one star just because of the two delicious house margs, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to give one star. The burrito grande should've been called burrito blande. Their green Chile sauce watered down the entire plate and didn't have any flavor. Luckily, we were able to get the burrito taken off our bill. I left the restaurant hungry and craving Taco Bell. read more

After a hot day at the Sand Dunes we were sooo looking forward to a cold margarita and some good Mexican food. Sadly, this place did not deliver. The food and service was poor. Their house salsa tasted like canned tomato sauce and the only other "salsa" option was Tabasco. The steak in the fajitas tasted like it came from a can, the tortillas were greasy and everything else was bland and flavorless. They have a full bar but no drink menu? Probably to hide that the margaritas were $16.50! Our party ordered a few different flavors and they were all undrinkable - way too sweet and syrupy! Our server wasn't exactly rude, but he was dismissive and would leave our table as fast as he could. No offer of refills on water or chips and salsa (which we probably would have declined). They charge extra for using credit/debit card, which is posted everywhere but it just the cherry on top of a bad experience. read more

Ninos use to be really great! The food is really good the green chilli. However the customer service has really went down they charge 20% tip for a party of 6 or more they count a baby as number 6. They bring your food then you never see them again. The last time we had a lady she was super rude in a bad mood you could tell she hated her job. We were trying to order and she just kept rushing us like we were bothering her. If your paying with a debit card there's another charge of 3%. read more

We came into town on a Monday night and were really craving Mexican food. We stopped here and ordered off of the a la cart menu. We are big fans of trying a little bit of everything. Everything was delicious! Great find. read more

they only gave me 0.74 CENTS AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GIVE ME 0.75. Other than that the food was good but it took them an hour to make simple nachos. They also gave me a defective jalapeño that tasted like a bell pepper so. read more

Ninos is the best food in the valley and is always consistent! Every other place is hit and miss. We never have had a bad meal here! Ps. Get the Cadillac margarita with any meal. read more

This restaurant has the best Mexican food I've ever had in Colorado. Customer service was amazing and if I ever have to go back to Alamosa, I will definitely go here. Good job!!! read more

Nino's is consistently delicious! All varieties of chimichangas and burritos have been delicious- chorizo and bean, adovado, bean, bean and potato. Both the green and red chile are wonderful. The green comes in mild, medium, and hot and the hot is perfect - not so hot that it hurts but tasty. The enchiladas lil Juan are wonderful- served with an egg on top. I love that you can have a fried egg served on top of anything- nothing better on top of chile and cheese. Also, they have Stella on tap! The new restaurant is lovely- spacious and clean. My only complaint is that it often seems to be understaffed at lunch and service can sometimes be slow. read more
