My fondest childhood memories were of having Mexican food here with my grandparents. The Ruiz, Armstrong, and Roseberry family always had their lunches together their. I always got rice and beans and a burrito of some sort depending on my mood, but to this day, and perhaps it is romanticized a bit, but I can never find as good of salsa, rice, or beans. No matter where I go, Margo's still holds the bar as high as my grandmother's cooking. I remember the peppermint patties my Papaw bought us after each time we dined with you guys.This isn't so much a review, I suppose, but a thank you letter, for all the amazing experiences our family had with you when I was growing up. I am so glad to see you're still going strong! The memories of your first location are the strongest, but of course you needed more room, and I remember that transition as well. Now it's been a few years ? and just had to peek and see how you guys were.A Happy Customer,Lilly (Margo's lover since the 1990's..ish ?❤️)

Food was awful and you could tell all our food was microwaved. The beans had a wierd taste and were dry and undercooked. They give you a small handful of chips. Then we ordered chile con queso and they didnt include more chips with it. My mom was a huge fan of it before covid so we made the drive to Alamogordo just to eat there. NEVER AGAIN.

Thank goodness they were open everything else was closed. They were very lovely snd helpful, the enchiladas were great. The ground beef potato green Chile was awsome says my husband. 5 stars and the price was not expensive at all.

Best Mexican Food in Alamogordo! An authentic taste of the southwest, full of local flavor and tradition! It's so good that I used to have dreams about Margo's red sauce during the 10 years I lived in Florida I missed it so much. A friend even overnighted me some of Margo's Chili Rellenos once I was so home sick for real Mexican food.

Food came out fairly quick and wait staff was good. Food, however was not. The chicken and green sauce tasted like fish, and the chicken was an odd color.

Everyone was very nice there. We all felt the food was ok but it wasn't anything special. Just one example is the taco shells didn't have to be made from scratch but they could have at least fried soft corn tortillas to make the food seem more authentic instead of using boxed taco shells like fast food places do.

Big shout out to George and staff for the incredible food they made for out good friends memorial. Even though they are closed Saturday they made us buritto and taco meat with all the fixings. Everyone loved the food. And great price . thanks again

One of the better options for Mexican food in town. Negative is the staff, they generally tend to stand around and watch people eat which is awkward and makes the experience less pleasant. Quick service and good food though.

Excellent TexMex food. Tamales and rellenos were especially good.
Kimberly Russell
Was ok food. Waited 45 minutes for lunch with really no one in the place. At the end one guy was pretty rude. All in all I would suggest si senior. They always have great service and food :)
First time going there for pasole. Very pricey for a small container. See picture. Did not come with all of the usual sides, cabbage, cilantro. Had to add multiple sauces to make it edible. Definitely not going there for posole, makes me question the other food.

We have eaten there a few times - never but marginally sorta ok. However, the LAST time we were there we waited 25 minutes in the dining room and a server never ever came to even take a drink order. The 2 servers were in and out to every other table in the room, a few they had came in AFTER we sat down. Observation - we were the ONLY non-Hispanic customers in the restaurant - don't know if their policy changed to NO ANGLOS or HISPANICS ONLY. We will not EVER return. We are not litigants, but are thinking.

My daughter in law and I had the same meal and the other four had something different. We both got ill but nobody else in the same family did. My food was not real hot. I believe we had food poisoning. Service was okay and the main waitress apologized about new hire. No problems there. Not very expensive.

I love their chips and the shredded beef tacos. Their green enchiladas are a family favorite in beef or cheese.

Good salsa, had the steak tampiquena and it was a generous plate of food including a guacamole salad. The steak was slightly tough and temperature was correct on the thicker side of the steak. Onions could have been grilled more as they were almost raw.
