Matthew Dunn
Definitely has a bar focus, but food was really great and well cooked. The New York Strip steak was cooked perfectly and delicious. Mashed potatoes nicely garlic flavored without a ton of butter. The Green Chile Linguine had a great flavor, but pasta was unfortunately over cooked and somewhat bland. Chicken was very tender and nicely flavored. Would go back to try the other Southwest options.

This was our first time visiting OBL. Overall, a very pleasant happy hour dining experience. The tartare was a delicious appetizer. We tried the Fish Tacos and the Smothered Burger as our entrees. Service was consistent and the atmosphere was great! Worth a try if you’re in the area.

This is a local favorite for my sister & her family. I will say the truffle fries are hard to resist, the beets are tasty, and the jalapeno margaritas are great. The wait staff is great, if you’re great to them, and we always have been. They offer great suggestions for when you’re struggling to decide. A nice covered patio, which I believe is dog friendly. Depending on where you sit and the weather for the day, the views are beautiful.

1st time: Food ribs and delicious gluten free chocolate brownie with ice cream. Service is a bit different, we had many different people waiting on us the entire time. 2nd time: we opted for outdoor patio seating since they said they were busy and it would have been a long wait. Outside was a bit cool in October so we asked for the fabric to be let down to block the wind, nobody came so we did it ourselves. The light was out near our table so we had to use our cell phone to read the menu and see our food. I had a cheeseburger and fries, my friend had green chili salmon. Food was good. I am not convinced about the level of service at this place. It could be improved.

Went to this place because we got a gift card from our real estate agent. It was a fun experience. Went during a week day and it was super busy but were seated immediately since we had a reservation. We ordered a lot of food lol. The shrimp was amazing. We actually ordered 2 plates. Lol. We got ribs, salmon and burgers for the kids. The dessert was amazing too. Definitely recommend this place to anyone

I loved the steak tacos from here but it also feels like this restaurant doesn’t know what it wants to be.

If you’re looking for authentic NM green chili, look no further than Old Blinking Light. Our server (from Honduras) was above excellent and the food was also. Restaurant was a little on the cold side but just bring a jacket. The green chili will warm you right up

The food was terrible. Ordered a steak there was absolutely no seasoning. Got tacos and the tortillas were cold. The Mac and cheese, I don’t understand why there was little fry chips in it. It’s didn’t add anything to the dish. If anything it just didn’t make sense. My waiter sucked. No where to be found mean while the tables around me had a hard working waitress who was always around. I had to ask other people who weren’t assigned to my table to get me drinks or silverware.
