Nice roomy seatings, they allow service dogs which is a big plus for me. Friendly and good service with the staff. Food is delicious, flavorful and very filling! Not a long wait to get your food. Menus had good choices and next time I'm saving room for desert because the ice cream store next store is connected and had some delicious looking choices too! Attentive waitress that asked how my food was, filled my drink, just in time to cool the green chili that was just the right heat, flavorful & delicious.

We pulled up and were able to get a table for the 5 of us after waiting for 10 minutes. I ordered a burger with green chile and my wife ordered the Cheese Enchiladas. The kids got items from the kids menu... The burger was delicious and the green chilies packed a little heat. My wife said her enchiladas were really good. The boys ate their corn dog and beef taco. My Mother-in-law got a BLT and she enjoyed it as it was stacked with bacon. You don't have to go out of the way for this place, but if you come across it, you should definitely stop for a meal!

Now, I've never been to a drive in before so it was really a novel and fun experiences. They come up to your car and take your order and deliver the food to your car. Had the enchiladas that was touted on the menu as "REALLY GOOD". And yup, they were really good. My sister had the chicken tacos with the crunchy shells. Tasty as well. We would recommend this place when you're visiting White Sands National park or just in town.

For starters... I am a bougie lil' tourist from the East Coast--not a local…read more That being said... on Sunday, good luck finding anything open in Alamogordo, NM. In fact, good luck finding many things open in the great state of New Mexico on any given day, except for the cannabis shops conveniently located approximately every 25 feet. Hi-D-Ho Drive-In is open on Sunday evenings, should one not be able to find much open in Alamogordo. To be fair--the food was relatively mediocre and affordable. The tacos tasted like nothing-special tacos, and the enchilada tasted like a nothing-special enchilada. Service was good. The lady taking orders and running food was really great. Ambiance was charming. Burgers smelled amazing. It was a really great experience that I appreciate having had. Then I went inside to pay. And oh lord... oh dear, sweet, benevolent lord... this place is filthier than the filthiest punk-rock squat I have ever stepped foot in. Holes in the floor stuffed with cardboard and covered with a mat? Oh yeah--right in front of the register. You can't miss it! Cabinets that appear to be rotting (or was that mold? Or was it just caked grease?!) from the bottom up? You're darn tootin'! Every single surface covered in clutter and caked in grease? You betcha! That's just the stuff that stuck out. But that's also like being able to describe a fire engine-red loveseat in a landfill and not really recalling all of the other horrors. This place was disgusting! Like... the background of one of those humanitarian aid commercials, all rolled into one tiny little kitchen counter area. Now... to this place's credit. No one got sick, ill, had any stomach issues, or even got indigestion--which is more than I can say about the A sanitation score place down the road from me at home. So, I refuse to claim that the food isn't stored correctly, prepared correctly, or otherwise contaminated. In fact, I am really impressed that the food that came from the Hi-D-Ho kitchen, that I put into my body, did not kill or harm me, but in fact nourished and comforted me. So... I would never go here again knowing what I know now. If I still lived in ignorant bliss and returned, I'd get the burger (smelled amazing). And whatever you do... don't go inside. If you do go inside, wait until after you've eaten, then go inside. If you then go inside, take off your shoes and turn your socks into a blindfold. Stumble your way up to the register, conclude your transaction, then feel your way out and put your socks back on. Better yet, just stay in your car. Get your food carried up, give them your form of payment, have them run it inside for you--but DO NOT GO IN!

Called inquiring about reservations, told it's first come first serve and I should expect about a 15-20 min wait. Showed up, 3 adults w/ 3 kids at 5:30. Was told I was the 2nd name behind an 11 top, and should be able to be seated in 5 min due to a few tables just waiting to be cleared upstairs. 20 mins later I watched them clear a 6 top at the front door downstairs, then split it so they could seat two tables of 4 who had shown up after my family. After waiting another 10 min I asked about how long we were looking at, the woman at the door told me she would go upstairs and check on the table, she returned to inform me that I was now looking at probably 20 min before we could be seated. We left... I don't know if the elderly woman working as a hostess at the door is an owner, a wife, family friend, or simply a pity hire due to her old age, but she has no business working customer service at a restaurant. She lied to me and several other groups about wait times, and seating availability only to double down several times about how soon we will be seated. She obviously has zero idea about how food service works, customer service relations, or kitchen service/food service times. Side note: an obviously drunk group of six made their way in during my wait, the bartender had no issue serving them, fingers crossed they weren't driving home, but I doubt anyone is that lucky.
