El Camino Nuevo - Side salad - no dressing included

It's disappointing to leave this less-than-stellar review, but the food was sad. I was…read morespecifically looking for a Mexican restaurant serving some steak with some infamous green chili on top. I ordered take-out to take back to my Airbnb nearby. The staff was super friendly, and my order came out within a reasonable time. However, the food was nothing exciting in terms of flavor and quality. First, I tried the jalapeno poppers stuffed with cheddar cheese. The cheese was okay- reminded me of Kraft cheese. The outer breaded portion of the poppers was bland and did not help the flavor profile at all. I just started eating the jalapenos after ripping off the breaded coating. The side salad looked decent and fresh, but no dressing was to be found anywhere. I made due and consumed it alongside the Chuleta a la Tampiquena, which was the thin-cut ribeye entree. The ribeye was average, as was the enchilada and rice. The onions and one green pepper on top helped, but the flavors just weren't popping like a fiesta! I could attribute this to the lack of freshness. The enchilada seemed barely baked, smothered in red sauce with barely any cheese. For context, I was home in 10 minutes, replating and reheating it again. The next evening, I decided not to roll the dice and cook my own green chili concoction the following evening. I don't know how the experience is dining in or having cocktails here, but I am not inclined to find out next time I'm in Ruidoso.

First off, the place looks great and the staff are extremely friendly, so I was expecting some good…read morefood and drinks. Unfortunately, the food was so bland and smothered in sauce & cheese, the salsa served at the table was green chili (not salsa) and super hot, the margarita was not tasty at all. We were hoping for solid tacos, enchiladas, and beans & rice based on the ambience and staff. The enchiladas were covered in a mediocre sauce and too much cheese, the chili relleno was under cooked and the rice tasted strangely like fried-rice. The best tasting thing was the beef taco but even that was weird bc it was a beef & rice mixture, but it was good.

This is one of our favorite places to eat in Ruidoso! As you walk in you're greeted by both owners,…read morethey're so freakin nice, and the restaurant is welcoming and cozy. Usually we eat lunch here a couple times a week either in-person or through delivery app. My go-to meal is the chicken fajitas with corn tortillas. I always have at least one fajita to take home w a little rice & beans, the portion size is great! I also like their daily specials; one was a taco, enchilada and flan and one was guacamole tostada, enchilada and flan - great meals and the flan is delicious. My niece likes to make her own combo, she's enjoyed the chimichanga, enchiladas and tacos. Their salads are great too! We've tried them all and like them all. Meals all come w chips and salsa which is lovely and the salsa is great. If you're looking for a lunch spot while visiting Ruidoso I recommend you stop at Comal! Except on Tuesday, they're closed Tuesdays.

Not sure how this place has a 4.4 rating. Right when you walk in you see the dirty kitchen. The guy…read morecooking and coming to tables is a complete jerk (pretty sure that's the owner) and nobody carries a smile. If you're so miserable then why have a restaurant where you have to deal with people? Food is not great. Not sure how they're open. Can't say anything good about this place. Wouldn't recommend to my enemy.
