Food great - made to order. Service - friendly and attentive. Now, if you are going here expecting something other than what appears to be a 1950s mom-and-pop restaurant, keep driving. It is what it is, and I would return again when driving through the area. read more

Stood by the counter for at least ten minutes while several workers walked past. Finally a staff member asked if anyone had helped us, when we responded no we finally got waited on. Ordered a burrito and the chili cheese fries. The burrito was very dry and does not come with sour cream or guacamole. The chili cheese fries are fries with red sauce and green chilis smothered on them all while sitting in a liquid bath. Took about 5 bites total and threw all the food out. Really hungry and back on the road to get food elsewhere. Also they have one bathroom, the toilet has what appears to be a child size toilet seat with an adult toilet. Good luck with that. read more

Food was good, not great. Small place with a very quiet atmosphere. The owner came around to each table to see say hi to the customers. We waited about an hour after ordering to get our food. It didn't seem too busy but maybe they were short staffed when we went. I ordered a sausage breakfast burrito with green chili. The green chili was very runny, almost liquid like, but the rest of the burrito was fine. Wife ordered the Sopaipilla with green chili. The dough seemed to be very undercooked, but maybe the green chili that was runny just soaked in and turned it into a mushy mess. Unfortunately the food was not worth the hour long wait this time. The price was very reasonable however. read more

One of the most authentic New Mexico Mexican food restaurants you could visit. A personal visit to the table from Socorro Herrera was a special treat. Amazing lady with 30 years of providing excellent food and jobs in the area. Chicken green chile sopapilla was just excellent. Friendly, helpful staff. read more

Food was amazing! I had the tamale plate with the Christmas. Very very good! Everyone was very friendly with great service. Would definitely eat here again if passing through. read more

Socorro's Restaurant - Tamale Plate with Christmas. - Pizza Near Me - Hernandez, New Mexico

Amazing food, amazing staff. I've never had a bad meal. I love the tacos, but also the steak, and the chips and salsa. The sopapillas are made with yeast and are spectacular. I ate two on the way home to Taos and arrived, dripping with honey, but absolutely content. I only wish we lived in Hernández.... Love you Ms. Socorro and your beautiful food!!! read more

Best of the best New Mexico food. True blue NM food. Must stop every time I'm in town.

Very nice atmosphere and cool decor at Socorro's. I ordered the combo plate and it came with plenty to eat. Service was on point and the ladies are nice and attentive. I'm giving it two up and shall return when I'm in the area again. I'm glad they're around for business. read more

Socorro's Restaurant - Combo plate heaven. - Pizza Near Me - Hernandez, New Mexico

It's 5 in the morning and there's nowhere to eat in Española, but you can take the extra time to drive a few minutes out to Hernandez and get a delicious breakfast burrito and a drink for $10 at Socorro's. Well worth it! Especially if you're on graveyard shift and need that after work meal. read more

What a delightful place! A mix of Old and New, very traditional New Mexican type ambience but also they have a self-service kiosk and in addition to traditional physical menus, they have QR codes that link to an online menu at each table. The food is absolutely wonderful, I had my first sopapilla and my beltline will never be the same. read more

I was excited to try this place since there aren't many mom and pop restaurants in the Espanola area anymore but left disappointed. I ordered the combination plate with two rolled cheese enchiladas and a pork tamale smothered in red chile, and a hard shell chicken taco. Chile had a bite to it but was bland. Taco was more mini sized but tasty. Mom ordered a carne asada burrito and she also stated that the chile was bland. BFF ordered the tamale plate and also stated that the chile did not have much flavor to it. Initially service was not good as the one waitress was rude as we were waiting to be seated and apparently she had already told us to seat ourselves (did not get her name). We also had no utensils and had to ask her for some, and when it came time for refills on our drinks and napkins she seemed bothered by that (she did look overwhelmed as they were fairly busy). The other waitress who took over our table was very nice and provided better service. read more

Amazing food and staff! Great breakfast, lunch!!! Authentic Mexican food, Great Green & Red Chilie. A must stop every time I'm even close to the area. read more

I've heard about #socorrosrestaurant in Hernandez, NM several times on Facebook. Taking the road of loops and turns through the Native American reservation, we turned back on straightforward road, and came upon a relatively small building with many cars parked outside... The dining room was relatively large, and had space, but we chose to sit on the patio for more privacy. Socorro's is a family business. The menu has something for everyone... (Mexican, and breakfast are what they're known for, but they also have items such as chicken fried steak or burgers (which are said to be delicious!). Mark and I both ended up getting Fajitas (it's a staple for me to get Fajitas) and of the millions I've tasted since I've been married, last night's were hands down the best... surprisingly, for what they added (potatoes) and what they left out... it was seasoned very plainly, letting the ingredients shine in their own right, as opposed to being accompanied with a sauce. The tortilla was fresh and deliciously warm, and I didn't even miss the cheese! A "detour off the highway," this place is definitely worth coming to, and the prices are also very reasonable for what you're getting both in quantity and quality.... We didn't have leftovers... no pun intended but I'm calling this one a slam dunk! (5 out of 5) #gourmetrecovery read more

I researched this place before a recent vacation in New Mexico. Based on the ir reviews and menu, we went out of our way to have lunch at Socorro's. It was very busy and had two waitresses and one cook working. They also had to take care of answering phones, take-out orders, and cashing customers out. Like most places these days, they seemed understaffed and overwhelmed. I ordered their combo plate and requested chicken. My wife ordered a taco plate with chicken. She got what she ordered and said it was good. I instead got what I think was beef, not the chicken that I had requested. I told the waitress and she acted confused. I said I would just go ahead and accept it as I did not want to wait longer to get it replaced. Then I started eating it and the beef was so overcooked and dry I could not even stick a fork in it. I could not chew it. It was like beef jerky. She came by again to ask how everything was and I told her how bad it was. She looked confused how to respond. She finally asked if she should say something to him? (I assume the cook?) I said she should say something to someone and not serve anyone else this batch of beef. She never offered to do anything for me and I did not see her go talk to anyone about it. I basically could not eat my lunch. I moved all the uneditable beef to the side and ate what I could. She came back and had to notice that I did not eat most of my meal and did nothing but bring me my check. I was charged $2 more than the price on the menu. But my wife was changed $2 less so it netted out the same so I figured it was not worth mentioning. When I said I wanted to pay with a credit card she said I had to follow her to the back office to use the card reader. I followed her back and surprising to me the owner was back there looking at her computer screen doing something. I thought hmm, what is she doing back here when up front they were swamped. She should have been up front helping her staff and checking on customers. And why didn't our waitress get her involved with my issues? I assumed at first she just did not know what to do and had no one there to help her. But the owner was there so was she afraid to mention that she messed up or the cook messed up my order? Or afraid to get the cook in trouble? Who knows. I blame the owner for not training staff or not empowering her staff to take care of problems. I was very disappointed with my experience, especially since I drove about 20 minutes out of my way to eat there. I hope mine was not the norm. But the owner needs to do better training and get more involved in her business. read more

Best food we had our whole vacation! Stopped by on our way back from Taos. I had the stuffed sopapilla. YUM! Hubby had the breakfast burrito (for dinner). Both REALLY hit the spot. Food was freshly made and came piping hot. SO DELICIOUS and for a great price. Well worth the detour. Friendly service too. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! read more

Omg, a hidden gem in Chile, right by Romero's Fruit Stand. Outside od Espanola. Excellent food, in all the years and times we passed by, our relatives took us to dinner there. We came back for breakfast & dinner again. Chicken Quesadillas were a hit with my grandsons. My daughter and I are hooked on the Green Chile stew on everything. We will be back. but not soon enough read more

The food is astonishing The service is great And the ambience is amazing when the restaurant isn't full. read more

My husband and I had supper here and it was really good. He had the Stuffed Sopaipilla and it was a large plate and tasty. I had the cheese enchiladas, Christmas. The green sauce was hot but had a nice full green chile flavor. The red sauce was milder. We couldn't have had a better meal in Santa Fe. And don't miss the sopaipillas with honey for dessert. read more

What a fantastic restaurant! It's popular enough that you might have to wait for a table, but it's absolutely worth it. Haven't tried their pizza yet, but their enchiladas and tamales are top notch. Both were offered with the choice of tortillas or sopaipillas, and while the tortillas were very good, there's really no actual choice here, you want the sopaipillas. read more

Everything was delicious and fresh.... Sopapillas we fluffy and tasty.... Definitely coming back here everytime I come out to hunt....

Seeing more than a few cars parked, I decided to stop for a bite on my way through the town. Soooo very glad I did! I ordered red chicken enchiladas and it was the best I'd had in a long time! The red enchilada sauce tasted smoky with a hint of sweet. It was amazing. The accompanying beans and rice were cooked perfectly, and the sopapillas were huge and hot and fresh. All in all a very tasty and satisfying experience. read more

The locals seem to really know about this one...very pleasant staff, as well as efficient with nice, clean food....better enchilada then MANY of the higher end Santa Fe restaurants. Prices were reasonable and the sopapillas were some of the best I can remember but there are apparently two cooks, and we seemed to hit the day when they are really good. Good find on the way to Abiquiu. read more

Excellent service and food. Chicken fajitas are delicious. Plus, bathroom chair.. need I say more? 10/10

Food is gooooood here! My fav place to eat when I don't want to go into Town for take out. Keep up the great work!

The best authentic Spanish food I've eaten I would stop here anytime. Service was excellent. The owner even took the time to greet us .

We've often passed by Socorro's and my husband had always mentioned wanting to stop and eat...well today was the day. My husband got beef enchiladas Christmas and I had a small Hawaiian pizza. Both were very good. Yelp had a great coupon which made me even happier! read more

I came with a group of 21, 15 being teenagers. They were very accommodating and sat us outside on their pretty patio with fans and water misters. The food came quick and it was AMAZING portions for the price! Socorro came out and made sure our dinner was as expected and offered sopapillas with honey. She is SO sweet!!! The sopapillas were amazing along with the fajitas and stuffed sopapilla! I would highly recommend!!! read more

it wasn't busy but we waited several minutes to be seated. The menu was smeared, you couldn't read it! Service was not only slow but nonattentive. My husband's combo plate looked horrible & wasn't tasty either. We had looked forward to trying Socorro's but will never go back. It didn't appear to be a very clean or sanitary kitchen. Neither of us is feeling well on the morning after. read more

Socorro's is our go-to breakfast place when traveling south from northern NM towards Albuquerque. The Huevos Rancheros are awesome. I've had both the red and the green versions... think I prefer green. The plate is filled with beans, rice, chile and eggs, sitting on top of corn tortillas. Another treat are the breakfast burritos - my preference being bacon, smothered with green chile (you can order "hand-held", aka dry). Options also include grated cheese and onion. My family has had the bacon and eggs as well as ham and eggs, and they've thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Service is hometown friendly, and this is definitely a local's establishment. Oh... the breakfast burrito, on my profile pic, is one my daughter ordered a couple of years ago. read more

In a word, gross. My girlfriend said it was possibly one of the worst meals of her life. We were running to an appointment, and we were starving. We debated between just grabbing a protein bar at the Chevron or waiting for take-out here. Should have gone with the protein bar. She had a chicken burrito and the chicken was so dry it was hard, like "chicken kibble" she said. I ordered the sopapilla burger, because I had a delicious sopapilla in Santa Fe and hoping for more of the same. What I got was a dry, pre-formed frozen burger patty on a flavorless, limp slab of fried dough. The fries, at least, were edible. I feel a little bad because the cashier/server was very nice, but the food was just terrible. read more

Food is good BUT the service we got from a guy named Ivan really was bad !! I've called there before and I'm asking about prices for food and he is just plain RUDE..... Than tonight we went to pick up an order to go but I forgot the side of nacho cheese, the nice waiter guy asked that rude manager Ivan guy how much the cheese is and he said 3.99. Really? Nevermind I said, than I hear him say Well that's MY WAY , MY PRICES. That will be the last time we eat there. The owner is really nice Socorro Herrera but she needs to teach her rude son some manners and have him take a class in Customer service..... Why u gotta be so rude ?? U Should be happy people go eat there. read more

While on a weekend getaway, my wife and I stopped in for breakfast. Excellent choice. I had heveros ranchoes, and my wife enjoyed the breakfast burrito. Both had great flavor, and weren't to spicy. The service was great, and very friendly. We are already looking forward to going back for dinner tonight. read more

I found this place last summer driving up to Colorado for vacation. I try to find local places to eat at and I also found Socorro's by accident, actually more like good luck. I had breakfast on the way up and lunch on the way back. I made sure I found it again this year on my trek. I had Lorenzo's omelet with green chile sauce for breakfast (excellent) and the tortillas were South Texas good. On the way back, I had the green chile frito pie and it was fantastic. The homemade sopapillas were amazing. Last year for lunch I had the chicken stuffed sopapilla and it was very tasty as well. Service has always been very friendly and while it isn't a large place, it is very clean and comfortable. One of these days I gotta try the pizza. Socorro's has become a standard stopping place whenever I roll through the area. read more
