I was told the food was supposed to be authentic New Mexico style so I had to try it. I am not sure what that is but it is was delicious. I tried the red chili nachos. They did not disappoint. The chip and green chili salsa were so good I don’t know that I stopped eating once I started. I would highly recommend the food for a quick bite. It’s a very small restaurant like you would expect for the name. I am excited to have found a spot I like in town that is just delicious. The staff was pretty friendly and attentive. Good food good service that’s what I enjoy. I will definitely stop by again!

Little hole in the wall off the main drag. Worth it just for the specialty drinks. The cinnamon drink is amazing, basically a churro in liquid form.

AVOID this place. Food was horrible and worst customer service experience I’ve had in a long time. Maybe ever. Rice isnt rice. It’s some soupy like mush. will never return, even if it was free!!!!! First pic is how I left my “meal” and second is how it arrived. Almost $30 for two $6 burritos drinks and sides of rice and 1 side of beans

Our waitress was not friendly. She had a very rude attitude. We will not be returning. The food was good and the restaurant was cute and cozy. The waitresses on the other hand…well it was just disappointing.

Definitely the best Mexican food place in town. They have quick and welcoming service and the food is out before you can get to your fifth chip! All of their dishes are full of flavor and spice. My favorite is an asado burrito with potato’s, onions, and cheese. And they also have some of the best salsa in town. Definitely a must if your looking for some great food.

This is not authentic Mexican food. How did this place get such good reviews?? My family of 5 ate the worst food ever for $50, and we wished we had just went to Taco Bell where we wouldn’t be still starving, and ate better food. The tacos were horrible, dried up beef and stale taco shells. Rice was mushy and wet. The chips on the table were also stale! The chile relleno was meh. If this is good “Mexican” food, we’ll pass. Lesson learned.

Surprising gem tucked in a little place of the main drag. Salsa had beautiful chunks on peppers, but was overwhelmed by garlic. Both meals we ordered were good, especially the Chile Verde con Carne. I wish I had that recipe.

We gave this place a second chance. Our food was delivered room temperature, & I discovered hairs in my plate again. This place is definitely NOT my casita.
