The tour guide was awesome! We enjoyed ice cream after which was very tasty! The store is extensive with samples of different flavors of pistachios which is nice to try and then lots of options to buy. Some of the counters had a bit of a wait or personnel was not available, it appeared certain staff are trained in certain areas only.

There are a lot of options to choose from but I always tend to get a shake with boba. My favorite is the taro or the taro coconut. My son loves their teas, especially the brown sugar one. There are also seasonal favorites like pumpkin.

Came here upon the recommendation of staff from the hotel we were staying at for a local eatery…read more They recommended this drive in. Now, I've never been to a drive in before so it was really a novel and fun experiences. They come up to your car and take your order and deliver the food to your car. Had the enchiladas that was touted on the menu as "REALLY GOOD". And yup, they were really good. My sister had the chicken tacos with the crunchy shells. Tasty as well. We would recommend this place when you're visiting White Sands National park or just in town.

For starters... I am a bougie lil' tourist from the East Coast--not a local…read more That being said... on Sunday, good luck finding anything open in Alamogordo, NM. In fact, good luck finding many things open in the great state of New Mexico on any given day, except for the cannabis shops conveniently located approximately every 25 feet. Hi-D-Ho Drive-In is open on Sunday evenings, should one not be able to find much open in Alamogordo. To be fair--the food was relatively mediocre and affordable. The tacos tasted like nothing-special tacos, and the enchilada tasted like a nothing-special enchilada. Service was good. The lady taking orders and running food was really great. Ambiance was charming. Burgers smelled amazing. It was a really great experience that I appreciate having had. Then I went inside to pay. And oh lord... oh dear, sweet, benevolent lord... this place is filthier than the filthiest punk-rock squat I have ever stepped foot in. Holes in the floor stuffed with cardboard and covered with a mat? Oh yeah--right in front of the register. You can't miss it! Cabinets that appear to be rotting (or was that mold? Or was it just caked grease?!) from the bottom up? You're darn tootin'! Every single surface covered in clutter and caked in grease? You betcha! That's just the stuff that stuck out. But that's also like being able to describe a fire engine-red loveseat in a landfill and not really recalling all of the other horrors. This place was disgusting! Like... the background of one of those humanitarian aid commercials, all rolled into one tiny little kitchen counter area. Now... to this place's credit. No one got sick, ill, had any stomach issues, or even got indigestion--which is more than I can say about the A sanitation score place down the road from me at home. So, I refuse to claim that the food isn't stored correctly, prepared correctly, or otherwise contaminated. In fact, I am really impressed that the food that came from the Hi-D-Ho kitchen, that I put into my body, did not kill or harm me, but in fact nourished and comforted me. So... I would never go here again knowing what I know now. If I still lived in ignorant bliss and returned, I'd get the burger (smelled amazing). And whatever you do... don't go inside. If you do go inside, wait until after you've eaten, then go inside. If you then go inside, take off your shoes and turn your socks into a blindfold. Stumble your way up to the register, conclude your transaction, then feel your way out and put your socks back on. Better yet, just stay in your car. Get your food carried up, give them your form of payment, have them run it inside for you--but DO NOT GO IN!

I asked if I could take a video for my mom, and she was so sweet about it and made us feel very comfortable. She helped us watch a tour video, choose our wine, and also let us try several olive oils while helping us pick our favorites. Lacy was also very helpful and friendly. She guided us around the farm, explained what we could check out, and helped us try different ice cream flavors. She even showed us how they make their pistachio ice cream, which was really interesting. Thank you to Sabrina and Lacy for making our visit so enjoyable. Their kindness and hospitality really stood out, and they made the whole experience feel special.

Debating between Carinos and Del Taco and Carinos was closer and had some interesting menu items…read more At the peak they had 170 locations and are down to 30 nationwide now. We came in a Monday about 40 minutes before closing and it seemed like they were getting ready to end the night. No one else was in the restaurant though there were a couple people at the bar. We told them we just wanted something fast and would be in and out quickly and were seated quickly at a booth. Our waitress was amazing and still kind and energetic though it was the end of day. Free bread with garlic balsamic olive oil, bread was warm and they were very generous with the amount of dried garlic. Margherita pizza: we picked the most standard one and it was odd. Instead of cheese and fresh basil it had slices of tomato and dried basil. Crust was underdone and there was way too much cheese on it. Italian nachos: Crispy pasta chips, black olives, pepperoncinis, Roma tomatoes, jalapeños, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella and parmesan. We had it with chicken and it was interesting but drowning in Alfredo sauce.

Lescombes Winery & Bistro - Bistro Comfort Without Leaving the Room…read more After a full day hiking around White Sands National Park and a quick wine tasting, we hit that point where getting dressed for dinner felt like too much effort. Delivery it was, and Lescombes came through. Ordering was easy, delivery was quick, and the packaging? Surprisingly solid. The kind of containers that make you feel like your food might actually survive the journey intact. Small victory, big appreciation. We went with Brussels sprouts, pecan pesto and marinara meatballs, and a roasted beet salad. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The standout was definitely the pecan pesto meatballs. Rich, balanced, and honestly the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite. The only thing missing? A proper glass of Cabernet to go with it. That felt like a missed opportunity on our part. One small note, the utensils didn't quite match the quality of the rest. A bit flimsy and underwhelming compared to the sturdy containers. Not a dealbreaker, but an easy upgrade that would elevate the whole experience. All in all, a great option when you want something a little nicer without leaving your room. Sometimes the best dinner is the one you don't have to get dressed for.
