    Best green chili burger and fresh French fries in town ...
    Kim G.

    Best green chili burger in town ...everything fresh!!, fresh cut French fries , the best! And fresh chilis

    Chile Releno half eaten on left and chicken enchilada verde.
    Laura M.

    With so many Mexican/TexMex restaurants to chose from in Ruidoso it is easy to overlook this hole-in-the-wall place. The chicken enchiladas verde are good. The Chile Releno was average and I won't order again. Crispy beef taco was tasty. Refried beans were fresh.

    The establishment is really small on the inside, about 6-7 tables, but the food is great.... especially the chili relleno burritos.

    Took over an hour for them to serve us and get our food. Not to mention that our food was cold and the salsa does not taste good.

    We love their jalapeño burgers and burritos! The green chili pork is the best! Chips and Salsa are one of top 5 in town.

    The green chile nachos are to die for if you like spicy if you don't I guess try them with out the sauce but you'll miss out

    El Camino Nuevo - Side salad - no dressing included

    El Camino Nuevo

    It's disappointing to leave this less-than-stellar review, but the food was sad. I was…read morespecifically looking for a Mexican restaurant serving some steak with some infamous green chili on top. I ordered take-out to take back to my Airbnb nearby. The staff was super friendly, and my order came out within a reasonable time. However, the food was nothing exciting in terms of flavor and quality. First, I tried the jalapeno poppers stuffed with cheddar cheese. The cheese was okay- reminded me of Kraft cheese. The outer breaded portion of the poppers was bland and did not help the flavor profile at all. I just started eating the jalapenos after ripping off the breaded coating. The side salad looked decent and fresh, but no dressing was to be found anywhere. I made due and consumed it alongside the Chuleta a la Tampiquena, which was the thin-cut ribeye entree. The ribeye was average, as was the enchilada and rice. The onions and one green pepper on top helped, but the flavors just weren't popping like a fiesta! I could attribute this to the lack of freshness. The enchilada seemed barely baked, smothered in red sauce with barely any cheese. For context, I was home in 10 minutes, replating and reheating it again. The next evening, I decided not to roll the dice and cook my own green chili concoction the following evening. I don't know how the experience is dining in or having cocktails here, but I am not inclined to find out next time I'm in Ruidoso.

    First off, the place looks great and the staff are extremely friendly, so I was expecting some good…read morefood and drinks. Unfortunately, the food was so bland and smothered in sauce & cheese, the salsa served at the table was green chili (not salsa) and super hot, the margarita was not tasty at all. We were hoping for solid tacos, enchiladas, and beans & rice based on the ambience and staff. The enchiladas were covered in a mediocre sauce and too much cheese, the chili relleno was under cooked and the rice tasted strangely like fried-rice. The best tasting thing was the beef taco but even that was weird bc it was a beef & rice mixture, but it was good.
