    Complimentary chips and salsa
    Brandi P.

    We stopped by this lovely restaurant while we were out and about because we were hungry running errands and Pajar did not disappoint. The food was tasty the complimentary salsa had a nice kick and the staff was super friendly. I was especially impressed with the quesabirra tacos and the meat inside was delicious. If you are looking for something different to try I would recommend this lovely restaurant.

    Quesabirria

    Mi amigo y yo estamos actualmente en un viaje por carretera de Florida a California y hemos estado parando para conseguir birria en el camino. Esto reemplaza a todos los restaurantes en los que hemos comido. Esta fue una de las mejores comidas de cerveza que he tenido, independientemente de este viaje. Esto es todo lo que quieres de una quesabirria: un delicioso consomé, tortillas bañadas, carne jugosa y sabrosa, cebollas frescas y cilantro, y queso derretido. Muy buen precio también. Nuestro camarero hizo un gran trabajo y fue muy agradable. El restaurante era decente por dentro, nada loco, pero todo estaba limpio, el tipo de lugar en el que entras y sabes que la comida va a ser de gas. 9,5/10

    Excellent coffee and breakfast spot! We had exceptional customer service, quick and friendly! Also, the best salsa around!

    Good flavorful authentic Mexican food. Clean tables and amazing staff. Mexican music playing as they cook our food. Recommend the birria tacos and asada tacos. Salsa is delicious and not too spicy.

    Quesabirria? More like be my BOOTHANG! Oh, the dreams of this place will be in my heart for the rest of my life. I've had quesabirria and choriqueso at many places, but Pajar has it done right. So delicious, so flavorful, so in love with this spot. Las Cruces- you have a gem in your city!!! Not only was the food amazing, the service was incredible, warm hospitality and a quaint location that makes you smile.

    We decided to try the recently opened Pajar Mexican Kitchen for lunch today. The interior has been updated from the previous restaurant owner. My wife had a shredded chicken quesadilla and I had the smothered (green) carne asada burrito plate (with rice and beans). Both of our meals were delicious. Service was fine. We will return.

    Food truck near house. Great, authentic food and service. Serves mixture of meat, and for being a restaurant as well as a food truck, the food is very presentable and yummy. We look forward to visiting the restaurant soon.

    Birria Raman is so good. My wife got the chili cheese fries and said she liked them a lot.

    Birria burrito

    The food is mediocre. If you're looking for spicy it isn't here. I ordered the hot green sauce and was very mild. The birria tasted good but was simply stewed pot roast in sauce.

    Lacks flavor, oily, and filled with salt. Not what I was expecting ... expect your sodium levels to skyrocket soon after consuming. Food was not Fresh.

    The quesabirria and chilaquiles are perfect. Christmas is the move for the chilaquiles, but I will dream of the red chile salsa forever.

    Tucked away into a strip center, you could miss it entirely. Glad I didnt. Food was very good, especially the birria. Definitely recommend.

    Worst service ever!! Or should I say no service at all? I hope they get better staff. The restaurant itself is nice and looks clean.

    Great service and food Thank you…read moreBurger's were amazing, wife had a black bean burger and said it was best she ever had, and she's old vegetarian lol Mushroom Swiss w/ jalapeño here and all was perfect. We will miss this place

    A little disappointing here and there, but still feel that these burgers are worth it,... once in a…read moregreat while. Seems like we end up going here once a year. We had actually tried out a new place, and were gravely disappointed. Two words, "fake" "meat". So, yeah, with the nastiness of the previous place leaving us yearning for a good burger (other than those from home!), we were in the area after a long day of sports nearby, and decided to grab a couple of burgers. Again, it's not fast food. There were some disappointments, but not deal breakers... 1) The burger patty on my burger was about 2" x 3" It was pretty d TINY!! But...at least it was real meat, lol!! And THAT is what we went there for. The bun? These are homemade and usually very good. The top bun on my burger was hard as a rock. It was either stale to begin with, or microwaved after it was toasted. Not too much of a deal cus I'm low carb anyway, though I had planned on breaking my diet for what I already knew would be a tasty house made bun. So, I wasn't too put off, by having an inedible bun. As it was, the under bun was perfect, and toasted with garlic.... and I DID break my diet for this, which I ate by itself. This bread is tdf! So there's that! Since I planned on breaking my diet anyway, I went ahead and order fries. The fries were not greasy like they used to be years ago. But they didn't seem fresh either, like they were years ago. Not soggy, not bad. I'll let it pass. We don't like seasonings on our fries so we got them "naked", and they were actually pretty good that way. No salt, nothing (though I did, later on pour on some gooey cheese for some nice cheese fries). The burger itself was good. I got the mushroom swiss burger. I'm not so sure that the white goo on my burger was swiss though. I've never seen swiss melt into almost nothing like that before. Perhaps it was grated? Still, never seen gooey almost liquid swiss before. I think it was either "swiss cheese product" (white american cheese), or provolone or something. Would have been nice, like tdf if it had been real swiss cheese. The grilled onions, fresh meat, fresh bottom bun (lol) made this burger. Also, again, I appreciate that they put garnishments on the side. I just ate them straight up, including the giant leaf of lettuce. A good overall meal. So even if Voodoo disappoints in some areas, there's always a treasure somewhere, and it was an enjoyable meal. Take away from this... wish the buns weren't stale or microwaved. Wish the burger patty was a decent size, not slider sized. Wish the swiss cheese was real swiss cheese. Not even gonna say I wish prices were lower, that's a given. My burger with fries was over $15.

    This is a great little spot. Prices are reasonable. Would definitely recommend coming in & checking…read moreit out. Came in with a colleague for lunch & we got here just before the lunch rush. They make the burgers, fries, & onion rings to order. So it all takes time!! Be patient. The burgers have that great smash crust on them but still flavorful & juicy. It's a very basic burger. Lettuce, onion, mayo, mustard, ketchup (I think?), & cheese but no bacon! Wasn't upset about that, totally understandable, the bacon would slow things down even more. Fries, curly fries, & onion rings. Pop, water, tea, & sports drinks. All in a fridge & nothing in a fountain machine. Chips if you want them. The difference between the regular burger k the great burger is the regular burger is basically a slider. Again, still reasonable. Would definitely come back. Make sure you double check the order though. My colleague asked for no mustard & her had mustard on it but an easy fix. No issues. Also, looks like you should be able to place an order online soon. This is an old school kind of place where they take orders by hand in a notebook. Honestly, loved to see it. Something so lovely & quaint about it. Come by and check it out if you haven't.

    Great little place that offers burgers, hotdogs, tacos for a GREAT price. Couldn't figure out…read moredifference between regular burger size and great burger as there was no description (great burger looks about 6 to 8 oz). The crust on flat top for all burgers was great. It is a smashed burger tho I guess for the great burger you could ask them not to smash. Hot dog was also on flattop and not boiled but wish they left it to char longer. Great variety of drinks and even unique flavors like strawberry cream sodas. The taco was probably most disappointing. It was meat and potatoes but it tasted too soft/mushy. Loved that they did toast breads and even taco shells. Some was bit too long on stove. They served burger correctly.. the cheese was on bottom then meat then toppings (to prevent bun from getting soggy. Onion rings, know they are frozen but didnt care as ut was fried Perfectly.. and i mean Perfectly to where u bite and onion doesnt come off. Not at all greasy and extreme crunchy with hint of salt which was fantastic! Crispy even after 10 mins (driving back). Overall, a really cute place to go for a some honest no frill food that doesnt overcharge for sides. 3 people who worked the fryer, grill and orders. Very nice. GO try it! It actually is a hidden gem
