First I'd like to apologize for this review in advance…read more The problem is the last 2 times I've gone for hot dogs. The buns are hard very hard and stale. After the first time I was hoping it was an overlook, but that's not it. Compliments on the cheerful and smiling faces. Remember your establishment is not only working on people skills but u serve food also and the quality of the buns are lacking. Chuck

This roadside largest pistachio is just north of Alamagordo in New Mexico…read more There is also a large store that has many New Mexico souvenirs including keychains, tshirts , seasonings , candies , toys, homemade fudge and unique pistachio flavors to sample . There's an attendant standing nearby that keeps the pistachio sample area clean and helps with suggestions . The nuts are packaged with and without the shells . We liked the spicy dill flavor the best. There's also an ice cream shop too! They offer shakes , ice cream , shakes and floats . Too good to pass up. I got a root beer pistachio ice cream float that hit the right spot on a warm day. Happy to have driven here for a pic opportunity and get some cool souvenirs .

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.

Our group was traveling thru town and we couldn't believe there's a boba spot here!…read more Our expectations weren't high about this spot, especially being from California but wow, all of us were mind blown by how good this place is! We tried smoothies along with a few other milk teas and they were all super spot on! We asked for a less sweetened teas and it was spectacular and The boba was soft and perfect! Owner is super friendly and very welcoming, we even visit the spot on the way home from our trip! Awesome spot, highly recommend

Lotus is a hidden gem here in Alamo! It's situated in a small plaza that's not super busy so…read morethere's always plenty of parking right out front. We're always greeted with a warm welcome and friendly service! Inside, there's plenty of seating and it's quiet and calm. You can either place your order at one of the iPad kiosks or at the counter. 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.

Once again, they did not disappoint. If anything, the food has gotten better! Ordered the mushroom…read moreswiss burger again, with bacon added. The burger had a really good grilled taste. I don't consume sugary sodas (or nasty aspertame diet drinks!), so last time I had a tea, this time they had Zero Dr. Pepper, and it just brought the whole meal together, lol. (PS - The "Zero" sodas have aspertame as well, but much less than the "diet" drinks. They are mostly sweetened with sucralose, which isn't exactly healthy for you, but tastes 100% better and is better for you than aspertame). We love Hi-D-Ho, and their prices are decent.

So back to our car we retreated Spouse and child got burgers and fries. They said they were OK. Needed salt. I got the BLT. So much bacon. So good. Serves on Texas Toast. Got a side of onion rings. Also so good.

Heart of the Desert Pistachios & Wines was one of the notable places we visited on our road trip…read more Even though it was a while ago, I remember it being a fun experience. They allowed us to sample their wines, which was a great way to explore the different varieties and find something we enjoyed. We ended up purchasing the Pistachio Rosé, which was a unique find. I liked that they offered something a little different from traditional wines, with a hint of pistachio flavor. It was a fun bottle to bring home as a reminder of our visit. They also had a selection of flavored oils and balsamic vinegars, and we were able to sample most of them before deciding on our favorites. We settled on the strawberry balsamic, along with the garlic and basil options. Being able to taste the different flavors made the experience more enjoyable and helped us choose products we actually wanted to take home. Overall, this was a memorable stop on our road trip. Between the wine tasting and the variety of oils and vinegars to sample, it was a unique experience that stood out among our travels. I'd recommend stopping by if you're in the area and enjoy discovering different wines and specialty food products.

Heart of the Desert Pistachios & Wine - Came for Pistachios, Left with Wine…read more We stopped here with a simple mission: grab a few bags of pistachios as gifts for friends back home. Easy, right? Well... not quite. The store itself is quaint and charming, filled with all kinds of temptations. Pistachios in every form, chocolates, wines, and gift options that make you rethink your original plan. You can taste a little of everything, which is both delightful and dangerous. Then we stepped out onto the patio with our pistachio ice cream, and wow... completely unexpected. The space is gorgeous. Calm, open, and the kind of place that makes you slow down without even trying. Honestly, if I lived nearby, I'd be planning celebrations here without a second thought. Somewhere between the views and the tasting, I tried their pistachio rosé. And yes, I had the same reaction, "wait... what?" But it worked. Different, pleasant, and surprisingly good. Good enough that I completely abandoned my pistachio gift plan and walked out with several bottles instead. A much more unique surprise. The staff were warm and welcoming, adding to the whole experience. No rush, no pressure, just genuine friendliness. We didn't have as much time as I would have liked, and that's probably the only downside. This is the kind of place where you want to linger longer, taste more, and just enjoy the moment. Came for pistachios. Left with wine and zero regrets.

It was very good, a light olive oil and lemon dressing, perfectly light for a warm summer day. My husband had the green chile chicken lasagna that he said was excellent! Servings aren't huge which we also liked. Service was very good and prompt. Celeste was very attentive, we wanted for nothing! Lots of parking and easy to get to.

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.

We were seated immediately with no wait, and the atmosphere was pleasant and welcoming. Our waitress, Jasmine, was fantastic -- beautifully groomed with a genuinely sweet smile, she made us feel well cared for throughout the meal. Service was attentive and warm. I ordered the Mongolian chicken, which was delicious. Joe had a salad topped with steak, also very good. We both tried their wine flights -- I chose the red, Joe the mixed selection. Both were quite good, showcasing the winery's quality offerings. Everything about this visit hit the mark: excellent food, outstanding service, superb wine, and no hassle getting in. Highly recommended.

The positives: food is really good! The shrimp salad has large shrimp that are grilled perfectly…read more The roasted veggies are cold though, but maybe that's because it's supposed to be a salad? The pot roast is super tender and flavorful and the veggies with it pair well. The chicken fettuccini was not my favorite of the mix, but it was still cooked very well and tasted good. I'm not the biggest fan of French onion soup but this was a decent one. And although we only got 1 serving of bread, it was warm and perfectly soft inside. Why it was just ok: we turned up without reservations around 7:30 and were told it was going to be a 30 minute wait. We asked if we could sit at the bar and were told that was also 30 minutes despite there being empty seats. Fine. We waited. 45 minutes later, multiple parties come in, without reservations. They manage to sit at the bar. We were told it's first come first serve and we needed to just grab a seat. Would have been nice if we were told that from the start, especially since we couldn't sit at the empty seats earlier. We got our food to go instead more than an hour after we first came in. If there was anything else open by the time we found out, we would have just left. Despite this, I'd say this is a good spot to get food to go, or make sure you have reservations ahead of time.
