I came here on a random Monday night and was greeted by the nicest waitresses and staff. The two young ladies running the floor, recommended the best fajita salad and it was arguably the most delicious salad I have had at a Mexican restaurant. Definitely will be back when I’m in the area again.

Good for a cold beer and food. The staff is a little slow but it was fine, cause we weren’t in a hurry. They are all smiles and having a good time. We split the chicken fajitas. The meat had great flavor we did have both corn and flour tortillas. All was good.

Great service; prompt, polite, knowledgeable, professional staff made us feel welcome. The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere made us feel welcomed and comfortable to enjoy our meal at our own pace. Would highly recommend and will be going again next time I’m in Cruces

Home style Mexican. We went for breakfast before continuing our car trip. Tortillas chips are very hearty and so are the flour tortillas. Service is good and staff very amicable. When is a restaurant I take in consideration the restaurant it self and the restrooms. Although very clean needs a little TLC. Worth the stop nonetheless.

This place was great! We went for the Chilitos sliders, but they weren’t on the menu. We asked our waitress (shout out to Iasia) who went back and asked, and they made them for us! OUT OF THIS WORLD!! They were good and spicy hot! So, definitely have something to drink. If you like it hotter, it comes with a side of jalapeño ranch! Pictured and recommended is the Chilitos Margarita and Spiked Limeade. Both were delicious. Plenty of seating, friendly servers. We will definitely go back the next time we are in Las Cruces.

Red Chile meat is on par with excellent. I ordered the combo enchilada plate. Heat level is a 7 on 10 scale. Table service was friendly and always available. Perez family represents good NewMexican food restaurants.

First time here, chips and salsa were good to include their tea. However, the hamburger meat and chicken were incredibly bland, I don’t think I have ever had something so tasteless. Their beans and rice were good. Nonetheless there is Zero seasoning on meat did not enjoy the meal.

This restaurant was a pleasant sirprise! After being on a drivi g trip for a few days now it was a welcome change to NOT eat fast food. I ordered the create your own combo. So every Mexican restaurant that I have ever been to I have to order the chile rellenos and an enchilada. There chile relleno is inmy all time top 3! It was amazing. They covered my enchiladas and relleno with their homemade red chile. There red and green chile is outstanding. Their homemade chips and salsa were also pretty impressive. They don’t have a “traditional” sit at bar but you can get beer, wine and margaritas. I had 2 yummy margaritas! I wish I lived here so I could come back and try the rest of the menu. This is a great stop off the I-10

I happened upon this cozy little place many years ago during a cross country trip, and I have to agree with many others that the salsa is fantastic! I came back through again on another long journey and tried to stop in, but it had just closed, and I was so sad because all I could think about was that salsa. Fortunately, the salsa is available to order online. Another UPDATE – We were able to go back again, September 2021, and the food was even better than I remember, and they have expanded! The place is huge compared to the tiny little joint it was when I first discovered it. So glad they are doing well, especially through the pandemic. Oh, and I bought three jars of salsa to take with me.
