    The food has so much flavor and is reasonably priced! Everyone is so nice and polite. The servers are kind to the locals, newbies, and anyone who walks in. We had the Old Road combo and the crispy taco plate. Everything was delicious!

    Recommended by all the locals and it didn't disappoint. The food was delicious and there was plenty of space for our big group. Most of our table had the famous Old Road Combination Plate. You can't beat the price! Stop by this lovely restaurant when you're passing through town.

    Food is always great. The view from the restaurant is breathtaking. Service is as good as it can be with the busyness of the place.

    Exceeding my Expecations !!! On my last trip to New Mexico, I went to the Mescalero Apache Reservation to visit old friends while on my way to Albequerque. After catching up and taking a drive up the mountains, we were starving. My local Food Crew suggested we head down to Old Restaurant, a local hot spot serving Mexican and New Mexican themed foods. Since I was just in Mississippi and Texas, dining on seafood and steaks, Mexican food was just what I needed. Old Road Restaurant has gone through some changes over the years, but seems to have hit its niche, and has been serving great Mexican fare for quite some time. The interior is very rusty and country style with wood trims and country themes throughout. There is an open downstairs area (maybe a banquet area or extra seating) clean and shiny with antiques and memories of a bygone era. Check it out on your next visit. Now to the food...The menu has many great classic choices like Tacos Enchiladas, Chili Rennello's, and many other items. Our brought out fresh homemade nachos with their in-house made Pico, mild and hot salsa, we also ordered some queso for those perfectly made chips. Our server was very friendly and gracious and patiently took our orders. My choice that afternoon was classic tacos with Beef, Chicken, Pork, all very well made and served with delicious homemade rice, beans, fresh sour cream, and shredded Mexican Cheddar. Wow, this meal hit the spot and surprisingly was not that heavy. All of us enjoyed our meals as we talked and got a chance to catch up. The food was very affordable and the Old Road Restaurant is great for solo eaters, couple groups and special occasions. If you are ever passing through the Mescalero area, you must stop in try this place, its one of the best places around to eat.

    This is my first time at this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. I had the cheese enchiladas with an egg, my sister had sour cream beef enchiladas and both plates were delicious! It is about 20 miles west of Ruidoso. Very remote area wouldn't even know there's good restaurant like this there. Got recommendations from the locals. Great food and great views.

    Great place to eat. Hidden away from the road but worth it. Breakfast or lunch is good.

    Small building, startup restaurant. Some seating indoors and outdoors…read more Read article on wall and started as a food truck. Had great reviews. Ordered all pastor tacos. Very good taste. Small menu but owner/chef came out to greet you and ask how things were. I like that. Son is learning how to help as well. We should all help this new business make its mark in Alamorgordo. Owner comes from a family with cooking and service industry experience.

    Good loooowd! This place was delicious. I was in town temporarily for a hunt. Me and my good buddy…read morestopped by here in the morning to try it out. Yelp is always pretty damn accurate and this place lived up to every positive word said about them. We had an order of birria tacos each and we shared a cali-style burrito. I'll just say we ate it all. It was a lot of food but we did it... stuffed ourselves with every last delicious bite. There were very friendly and cool folks working there. I wish I had more time to spend as they had some classic arcade games I wanted to try. It was pretty quiet and chill inside the restaurant. We were there between rush times so that may not always be the case but it was the case when we were there (luckily). I would imagine this place bumps at busy times. Anyhow, you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't try this place. Fricken delicious, reasonable, and fill your belly portions. 10 out of 5.
