    Their New Mexico style flat, blue-corn, brisket enchiladas are the best thing ever!

    El Farolito Restaurant - The HALF nachos was plenty! And delicious!

It Is clear that the local community supports them. The phone keeps ringing off the hook and people constantly drop buy to pick up phoned in orders. Every meal I've had there has been really good all at a reasonable price. I highly recommend them.

Adam is the perfect person to introduce one to his family's establishment. Explains everything for the newbies. Patient and erudite. Such poise in such a young person. It's a small dining area. Clearly a local fave. Phone was ringing off the hook. But many clearly knew their way around. A few ppl walked in, placed their order and said they'd be back at such and such a time. There's only a small kitchen We got to mean Domenic, our cook A sweetheart and a skilled chef. The food itself seems straightforward and pretty simple, but each dish had its own flavor which I think is pretty hard to do and each was so satisfyingly delicious. I think I would've bn satisfied with just the menudo and the half order of nachos, but didn't know it at the time we ordered so we went on and got the El Faro burger, my friend ordered the cheese enchiladas and of course we got the chile Christmas on the side. Fantastic! And a tremendous value. We were quite shocked that our entire meal, including 2 sodas came to less that $40, such that we left double that bc these small businesses are such treasures and we want such places to remain in business. Seemed there were quite a few locals but also lots of travelers coming through. I certainly plan to be back soon!

    Alfonso's Mexican Food - Excellent Chorizo Plate!

The menu is full of expected staples, as well as regional specialties you'd be hard-pressed to find outside the area. The staff seem happy to see you and serve you with care and pride. The icing on the cake (or, salsa on the burrito) is the small salsa bar to help spice your food to your liking with a variety of types. Texans making the road trip to and from Colorado (and anyone else going anywhere, I suppose!), you need to make it to Alfonso's.

    Passing through Raton, on my way down to Texas, I'd been craving Mexican food something fierce…read more Alfonso's to the rescue! The place is inside a gas station, but has an excellent variety of choices on their menu. Dining area is small, so best to ask for it "to go." I ordered the Chorizo Plate with flour tortillas ... or so I thought there'd be more than one. Actually it was one, BIG tortilla - more than enough to make some hand tacos with the chorizo. And what excellent chorizo it was! Flavorful and plenty of it. The beans and rice were equally tasty. For less than 12 bucks, this was a great plate of food. My only negative is service is s l o w ! There's one person taking orders from both the inside counter and the drive-thru. Likewise, there just one person preparing all the orders. BUT, if you don't mind the wait, it's worth it for great Mexican food.
