    3 tacos tasted homemade
    Angela W.

    Didn't know where else to go so we just pulled in. Didn't look like much of anything from the outside. Real divey kind of diner but food and service was great. Locals eating in there is a good indicator

    There's nothing fancy about the Sunset Grill. Heck, when we walked in, we were the only customers and the parking lot looked empty. But the food... OMG, the food! As I eat Keto, I had a bunless cheeseburger with bacon and it was heavenly! And huge! The burgers are a full 8 oz and cooked to order! I also choose the side salad as my side. The salad dressing (I choose balsamic vinaigrette) comes in a large container and tasted homemade! My husband ate the chips and salsa that came complimentary when we sat down and said they were tasty. He ordered a Philly cheesesteak and subbed green chile for the peppers and onions. He said the chile was hot (score!) and the sandwich was great! In fact, it smelled so good that the couple who came in while we were eating ordered the same thing because it smelled so good! He also ordered the onion rings that we had read about in previous Yelp reviews as his side. Let me tell you: you NEED the onion rings! They are hand breaded and perfect! My husband is the pickiest guy when it comes to onion rings and he could not get over them! And it was all so cheap too! Yum!

    Great diner in TorC. Huge sandwiches, delicious, thick well cooked fries, excellent service. Worth the 7 minute drive off the freeway to get to. Will definitely return when I'm town again.

    Homemade salsa and guacamole

    The Sunset Grill is a decent place to grab a bite when in town to visit Elephant Butte. It offers average and tasty New Mexican food at an affordable price. After eating lunch here it's no secret that most of the people are locals. However, during the busy season tourists make their way here as well. If you're going to make this stop I would order the New Mexican food. The portions are enormous and most of it is made from scratch on site. This includes there red and green chile and other key items like the guacamole and salsa. If there's one thing on the menu that you should try it's the carne adovada. You can either get it as a plate or inside a sopapilla. If you're going to order it as a stuffed sopapilla be prepared for a massive amount of toppings and cheese. Is enough food for a cow to eat. Meanwhile, nobody leaves here hungry. And I would recommend ordering the guacamole to start. It's got a lot of flavor and it's made fresh every day period One of the highlights here are the breakfast burritos period it's likely the signature item of this restaurant. They are enormous and if you're heading out on the lake for the day it be a good idea to stop and get one first. Doing so might keep your full the rest of the day. When in town there's plenty of local restaurants like this. This one is a safe bet.

    Stopped in after soaking in the hot springs down the road. The ambiance is a good old-fashioned diner. It's like stepping back in time, which matches the the town. We loved reading all the quirky signs and listening to the locals while dining. We ordered the onion rings because we heard they're famous and they did not disappoint! We also had the bean and cheese sopapillas. They were the highlight of the meal. The beans were delicious and there was perfect crisp on the sopapillas. I will always remember this meal.

    Came here for lunch on a holiday weekend (Sunday). Inside was packed, but thankfully the outside…read morehad plenty of open tables and the weather was lovely. Ordered: Cheese curds: spectacular! Bigfoot burger and rosemary fries 1000/10 Cashew chicken, which came with a choice of rice (I got fried), sautéed vegetables (delicious) and an award-worthy egg roll. Chicken was good, but not as good as the burger. I think they use chicken breast, I'm more used to having thighs in these types of dishes. Just a personal preference. The egg roll, however was delicious. Two pints (and then two more) of the hef on draft to seal the deal. In short: go if you get a chance, go without any hesitation! Food is delicious, the venue is very cute and service is incredibly attentive and speedy! You won't regret it!

(Never got used to the cold version in Boston.) It was a mixture of lobster and other seafood but quite nice. My side was a green salad with a vinaigrette dressing and it was really fresh and good. My dinner companion had the truffle fries as his side. I couldn't resist stealing a few from his plate and they were very tasty. He ordered a Santa's Nightcap seasonal cocktail made with eggnog, rum, coffee liquer, whipped cream, and topped with a gingerbread man! I had an espresso martini. It was fine. I have nothing to compare it to since it was my first. The inside was nice but a bit on the small side. The booths had been reserved so we sat at a table in the middle of the room. The woman who waited on us was very welcoming. I must also mention the dog-friendly patio, complete with heat lamps. It looked magical decorated with hundreds of tiny lights. This restaurant is definitely a place to try. You can't miss it due to the giant Bigfoot statue on the sign in front!

    After reading the reviews about this place I had to try it for myself and tbh everything that was…read moresaid was absolutely true. I've eaten a lot of green chile cheese burgers around the state and I honestly can say this was one of the best I've ever had. The meat was seasoned so perfectly that every bite was savory. The red chile here was also delicious. Service was top notch. We sat down ordered some drinks and without asking they brought us some complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was delicious too. So many other things I want to try on the menu and hopefully we will soon again. It's a little further south than we usually go when we go to the lake but the extra 20 minute drive is worth every minute. Some really great food and some really nice people. Two thumbs up from me. 100% recommend.

    Well , i guess i have to come in lower than others…read more We did a 3 beef taco plate , rice and beans and i added a pork tamale. The Tamale was the hit. The Tacos were bland and the rice on both plates was left behind. No bottled hot sauce is served here. The Tony special was good but smothered in cheese. So all one color. I asked for salsa for the tacos but a cell phone took precedence and i was on the third one before it came. It's been here a long time but i can't call it quaint or charming. They did have mexican music in the speakers. i ll try another spot when we come back. Actually johnny b's taco plates looked very good the other night. That would be my next alternate.

A chile rellano, cheese enchilada and crispy beef taco. Everything was delicious. Ordered Christmas on the side and ate both the red and green! Hubby had 3 crispy beef tacos and loved them.

Our server was incredibly sweet and made sure to check on us in a timely matter. We were brought chips and salsa to start and the chips were nice and warm. The salsa wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing. We ended up getting the Grilled Chicken Quesadillas appetizer and a Sopaipilla. The quesadillas came with way more food than we expected and they were cooked nicely, but a bit bland. The lettuce was also very wilted and old. The sopaipilla was huge! We were surprised it wasn't crispier, but it was still super tasty! I would definitely get that again. Besides the sopaipilla, it seems like a pretty average food place. I would come again, but it's not a must for me.
