    Chips and salsa immediately upon being seated!  And they are great!
    Dave H.

    For Mexican restaurants I expect certain things right when you are seated. One of the biggest is complimentary chips and salsa. I hadn't even sat down and there they were in front of us. Pretty tasty as well! Drink orders were taken less than a minute later and arrived quickly. My margarita was great! My wife is a fan of taquitos and hers were what she was looking for. My choice was a ground beef chimichanga smothered with green chile sauce! We were both pleased with our choices though we didn't know what to expect when we walked in. The decor was typical of what you'd expect at a Mexican restaurant. I will keep this place on mind next time I visit the area!!

    I really enjoyed Ortega's! Their food was wonderful and their hot green chile actually had a bit of a kick. We hit them up on a Friday night and it was busy, but not too bad. They have a patio (that seemed popular), but we opted for a booth inside. To start they bring the traditional Mexican restaurant chips and salsa to start (I believe the first basket is free, then they charge for additional baskets). I liked the chips and the salsa was thin, but flavorful. I ordered the chile rellenos plate and a house margarita on the rocks with salt. The rellenos were wonderful, as was the green chile (a bit hot, not too bad). The pinto beans were very good (traditional). Overall it was a great meal. My only complaints are that it was a little slow (no biggie), but that was weird because like 3 people serviced our table. And I personally thought that the house marg at $7.25 was pricey! It wasn't that big to justify that price. That is ok, I will skip the marg and just have the food! They are only open certain days (Tues, Fri, Sat & Sun), so be sure to check before you head over.

    Very friendly place. Erin had started her first day and she did fantastic very friendly and awesome. The Mexican food flavor was on point. I will definitely go back to this place when we go back.

    Mix it up plate. Chile rellano, pork burrito and tamale.

    I've been here before and it was good. Went back a few years later and it was just as good as I remember, probably even better. Everything was great. I am from New Mexico and this is just as good of a place you can find in the state. The chile rellanos were crispy and perfect. I'll be back again sooner.

Our orders were taken as soon as we were ready and our huge plates arrived hot and with plenty of food. Excellent enchilada, burrito and tamale served with the requisite rice and beans.

The food is authentic, the prices reasonable and the portions large- a great combination in this economy. So go ahead and enjoy a great meal while supporting a winning small business!

We got seated fast (party of 2), our waiter was attentive & kind, but the food was just okay. I ordered a #23 which was a chimichanga & chile relleno. They upcharged me for an "authentic" chile relleno, but it had been reheated, so it was super greasy & it didn't come with any green chile. I always order chile rellenos when we have Mexican food-I even make them myself-but they have always come smothered in green chile...maybe that's the "authentic" way-I'm not sure. My hubby got a combo with a chile relleno, a taco and an enchilada. He said I make better-and I don't think it was an empty compliment ;) Overall, it's a decent place. Pretty overpriced from what we are used to, and I have to believe there is better Mexican food to be had in this cute little town.
