9 Best Mexican Restaurants in Artesia

“We stopped here after a long road trip. We enjoyed this place once before as newlyweds and now, 17 years later we got to enjoy it with our teen. It is located on Main Street and there were lots of cars. Generally that's a good sign. We walked in and were seated right away and offered a booth or table. I loved that. We like the booths and so often have to ask for them in places. The place is a very nice design. It's almost as though most of the tables have an intimate setting. Our server was pleasant and kind. We enjoyed her as she was very attentive as well. I read complaints on the salsa and while I can be a bit picky myself, this was okay. I'm originally from Texas and I know we are kind of salsa snobs. I mean....I was making my own salsa in my molcajete as a young teen. I got a small bowl of lemons for my water and dressed up our chips with lemon and salt. The chips were delicious and you can tell homemade. Our server never used empty with chips, salsa, or water. We were recommended to get the carne asada plate, southwest combo, and the chili rellenos.we had the rellenos on the buffet years ago. It was all still so good. The carne asada was amazing and moist. The flavor was amazing. My son got it cooked well done and it was still delicious. Highly recommend! The southwest combo was perfect for someone who wants a bit of everything. I got it with green and red sauce because I couldn't decide that either. The whole plate was great. The cheese chili rellenos with cheese sauce was epic. I mean it's like a spicy hotdog had a baby with a funnel cake. Yum!!!! We wanted to stick around and come back another day but we were on a tight schedule. Until next time. I don't understand why some of the reviews were so harsh. I mean there are all different types of Mexican food. I enjoy that New Mexico puts a bit of their own spin on it.“

“(Translated by Google) Very tasty tacos, good price... Especially well stocked, if you bring a big truck you can park right next to it...(Original)Muy ricos tacos, buen precio... Sobre todo bien surtidos, si traes un camión grande puedes aparcar justo al lado ..“

“The food was really good here! I got the combination plate with a cheese enchilada, carne asada gordita, and chicken chalupas. The flavors of everything was awesome.The chips were freshly made and the salsa had a little bite but was so good especially with the meal I got. Check out this place if you are in the area!“

“The food was fabulous. Green sauce reminded me of Adalinda and red was like my mom's. Chili relleno was great. And free sopapilla with Carmel and honey. Service: The staff was very friendly. Ambiance: They had tejano music playing in background.“

“We joined our daughter and her family for a late lunch on a Saturday. We did not have to wait for a table. Service was amazing, and the food was delicious. Prices are reasonable too! I ordered a combination plate with green chili. The green chili was meaty, and this green enchilada sauce was one of the BEST I have ever had! I also loved their fresh taco that's on the plate. The taco shell was made fresh on the order. If you have not checked this gem out before, I highly recommend it!“

“This place has been here for a long time. The burritos we got were chile relleno and chicharrón. They were prepared fresh and were good. We only stopped by because our go-to place was closed. I used to be a regular to Burritos Diana when I travel to Albuquerque often.“

“This is the absolute best place to get fresh burritos in Artesia, NM. It's normally busy, but they move the orders out quickly so the wait isn't too bad. We go here every time we are in town.We highly recommend the combination burritos and the breakfast burritos. Their salsa verde is very good!“

“Yo soy la dueña y cocinera y cada vez que visitas este restaurante tu comida se hace fresca nada de nuestros ingredientes son congelados o enlatados y las tortillas de harina hechas a mano. Nuestra experiencia es de 7 años en Artesia y 10 años en Roswell.“

“It's everything you want in an unpretentious Jalisco restaurant. I will say service was a tad slower than I would have preferred, but everyone was pleasant and helpful, the live music was fun (if loud), and the food was great. Try the carnitas.“
