Nicely decorated and spacious restaurant with plenty of tables and booths. The food was a little disappointment. My pastor tacos were dry and difficult to eat my experience with Pastor tacos in the past has been very juicy and full of flavor that was not the case today at this restaurant. My dining companion had an enchilada plate and said it was average and not much flavor Super friendly folks and average food. I visited with a friend who lives in Clovis and he raved about the food, so I may have just made a poor selection. He raved about the.Bierra de Chivo and the torta ahogada - so I may have to come back next time I'm in the area and try those dishes because there are so many favorable reviews.

hands down the BEST mexican food! Everything that I have…read moreever tried here has been phenomenal and we make sure that we go there EVERY time we go home for a visit. Their Chile Rellanos are just amazing they are not soppy or soggy they are crisp and served with a ranchero sauce. Delish! The enchlidas ... YUM. They have a seafood enchilada that our server reccomended and it was unbelievable. The portions are H U G E, and the quality of the food is simply amazing. my favorite is the end of the meal and the sopapillas... they are served traditional no sugar no cinnamon (thank GOD) they are served hot , a fluffy bread cut into triangles and deep fried ... served with honey. one taste and I KNOW I am home. The service is beyond exceptional and the servers work their butts off making sure your drinks are filled , your food is good, and that you're dining expectations have been exceeded. Trust me they are EVERY time. My 99 year old grandmother loves going to eat here too. *with that age you know there is wisdom) ;) I am actually looking forward to the holidays .. not just to see my family but to sample some more authentic mexcan cuisine!

TLDR: missing food, missing utensils, missing napkins, lack of privacy in paying, lack of catering…read morefrom restaurant when informed of missing items. *** This review is specific for the Portales location. I have eaten at and enjoyed the Clovis location, but am currently in a motel in Portales. I should have driven up to Clovis. I ordered a Juanito's Deluxe. Chile rellano, taco, enchilada, chalupa, beans, rice and grande sopapillo. I asked for green sauce on the side, not poured over. It was provided correctly. Back at the motel, I opened the bag containing my dinner. I was provided a bag of chips and a cup of salsa that neither asked for nor wanted. HOWEVER. My Granda Sopapilla was missing. As were eating utensils and napkins. I called and was told I could come back for the sopapillo. Twice. I am not leaving my motel and driving back to rectify your mistake. The bean chalupa was good, the taco was so-so as the meat was dry and tasteless. As I don't choose to eat the rest with my fingers, I can't judge their taste. *** When paying, I would have preferred not to be asked if I wanted to leave a tip. Please just give the customer either the credit card machine or the receipt and let us discretely provide a tip. The 3 workers and the customer in line behind me do not have a need to know.

We received a recommendation from Mike from the Sunset Motel. He told us Del's was a great place…read morefor dinner and cocktails. He explained the restaurant served New Mexico liquor that tasted like regular liquor. So we found the restaurant in Tucumcari, NM. We got there at 6:15 and we should have arrived at 5:00. There was a wall of people waiting to be seated. We received a beeper that would tell us when we could be seated. We waited for 45 minutes and the four of us we were seated at a round table in the bar. Our servers name was Corina, she was amazing, she was the bar tender for the entire restaurant and was the server for 4 tables in the bar. She took our order for drinks and our appetizer and entrees. We all wanted the fried Catfish, however we found out they were completely out of it! And Friday they would have a shipment. My husband and I ordered the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. My husband ordered the baked potato with coleslaw . Our friends ordered the same. The meatloaf was delicious and the sides were tasty. We really enjoyed the quiet setting in the bar. There were lots of tables toward the entrance, and the people waiting for a table spilled out by the diners. So we were happy to sit in the bar where it was quiet and more intimate. We were so happy with our food and drinks we decided to go back the next day. So we arrived at 4:45 and requested the bar. We were served by Toni, she was a kick! We loved her sense of humor and her service. We had another wonderful meal. We wanted to reorder the meatloaf because it was sooo good. Unfortunately they were out of it! So we had catfish which was good. Toni made the best martini's using all distilled liquor from New Mexico . They don't have a regular liquor license which is extremely expensive in NM. The martini's were delicious, Toni knows how to make great Martin's. We highly recommend this restaurant, get there early wait times can be 45 minutes to an hour!

A varied menu with a little bit of everything on it for all kinds of taste buds. After giving the menu a good look, I opted for their Chili Relenos with Hatch chilis. A nice serving with a pair of well prepared chilis, rice and beans with some diced tomato and lettuce. It was a good meal, the rellenos were done well, nice cheese stuffed, breaded and fried near perfect. All in all a good meal 4 Stars a solid choice in a town with limited options 01321

I visited on a Monday evening, around 5pm. That's usually the time us old folks eat. I had no issue getting a table. Promptly seated, I ordered a beer and my dinner. The menu is a good mix, something for everyone. I ordered the Chili Rellenos. Of course I ordered that. Hey, when in Rome..... My meal was served quick and hot. Waiting a minute to cool was definitely in the cards. No problem, I had my beer, salsa and chips to occupy me while the steam settled. After a bit, I dug in. First fork was the rice. Oh, was that rice ever good! The only problem was that there wasn't enough. I suggest that you order a side of that glorious grain. Fantastic! The refried beans, well, were ok, but just ok. The Hatch greenies, as you'd expect, were outstanding and very flavorful. I ordered them Christmas style, with green and red sauce. Both of those condiments were tasty, but of the two, the green sauce stood out. Boy did it ever. I'll be dreaming of that sauce later tonight. Hopefully my girlfriend doesn't pop into the picture.....OR, maybe she should! LoL, now that would be a dream! Don't worry about parking, as there is more than ample. You can park in the front, the back, either side, and if you're driving a big rig, pulling a trailer, or driving a tank, they've got you covered. Across the street is special parking for those vehicles. More parking outside than tables inside. Pay La Cita a visit for a romantic dinner, or as I did, by yourself....my dream trend may have helped with that. Hey, I may be old, but certainly not dead! Quick Tip: I parked in the back, and when leaving, I took the dirt alley. It was a fun adventure. I'd suggest that you do it during daylight hours though. You never know who you'll run into, or for that matter, over! Let's hope it isn't Skinny Pete or Badger.
