“What a wonderful way to spend New Year’s Eve. The new show is even better than last year. The food was fabulous. I plan to make this an annual event. As a local, it is as good as it gets for entertainment for the whole family.”

“They have something for everyone. Food is always great and just like home-cooking!”

“Can't say enough about this place. They have everything. Great food and very flavorful. The husband and wife owners will make you feel right at home. They also hand make tallow and lots of other things. The cookies and brittle and out of this world. A hidden gem in our beautiful town. Highly recommend!”

“We ALWAYS plan a meal at Oso Grill when we stay in our Ruidoso cabin. The food is fresh, tasty, and original. The servings are attractively prepared and always delicious whether it’s salad, soup, sandwiches, or dessert. The restaurant is always filled with satisfied locals, and the service is superb.”

“Amazing affordable homecooked food. I got the breakfast burrito (8/10) and two pecan pancakes (9/10) with coffee. It was only $20 before tip, with good portions. It's small but very charming and cozy inside and the beautiful handmade tables and woodwork really add to the charm. Super friendly staff and patrons. I had a really great visit and I'll be sure to stop by next time I'm in this lovely town.”

“The older gentleman here was very friendly and helpful. We had a very nice conversation with him while he filled our order. Ordered some delicious hot chocolate and purchased some desserts to take back with me. Got a piece of red velvet cake, pecan pie, cinnamon roll and cheese cake all are very delicious. He also has a few gift items for sale too. Will definitely go back again on my next trip.”

“Amazing food truck burger. Portions are big, I got the single patty burger all the way with the special sauce and it was great. I have a feeling I’ll be sleeping the rest of the day. Lol Will try to make it back over here anytime I’m in Ruidoso.”

“We had a large party that came in at 8:45 to celebrate a birthday and waited to be sat for a bit. May Lucero was our waitress and she was and always is awesome. Where most servers get annoyed at serving a large party so late in the evening, she served us with a smile and did a fabulous job! Servers should learn from her! We had a great evening because of her and she took great care of us.”

“Fantastic flavors, great serving size.”

“Absolutely amazing pizza and amazing customer service! We called in and ordered a slice of pizza for my toddler and the woman offered to have it cut up smaller for him. It seems like a small gesture but I sincerely appreciated it very much! New favorite pizza shop! 😋10/10!!”

“Great experience. We split a Billy the kid burger and got a side of fries and onion strings. Really good. Price is amazing. Lits of good beers on draft. Summer was a great server”

“Love this marketplace! Please visit and support local artisans.”

“The breakfast bowl was AMAZING! Great atmosphere, the staff are always friendly and make you feel right at home. Fantastic beer and the pizza was phenomenal! Can’t say enough good things about this place.”

“stopped by bought a brat it's was gross and hot dog bun was hard passed a day old bread only recommend was the funnel cake”

“Absolutely worth it. Im skeptical about Mexican food because I love it hot hot. A lot of places claim to have spicy food, but it doesn't do anything for me. Ole Taco definitely hit spicy on the nail. The salsa has some decent kick. I ordered the adovada chimi and it was delicious. I also got the chile cheese fries and they had a good kick.”

“What a treasure of a find this place is! The service was incredible and the BBQ was tasty but what really set this gem apart was the atmosphere. The outdoor patio is a beautiful spot to chill!”

“Great food and service, steak was cooked to perfection. Great spot just outside of the town, so nice to get away from the crowds.”

“This place is the definition of hidden gem! It’s really easy to just drive past, but do not do it! It is a 3rd generation family owned restaurant, making recipes handed down for over 70 years, and full of local arts and crafts for sale. My wife and I split the combo platter, which came with a taco, a chile relleno, two enchiladas, and rice and beans, and we had chips and salsa to munch on while we were waiting for our food. To call this the best Mexican food I’ve had is not an understatement. Even the chips and salsa were way better than any I have had in a restaurant before.

All of that food only cost $28, and we drove away very satisfied with everything about this wonderful place. If you’re lucky you’ll be able to hear the stories behind the local arts on their walls as well!”

“The food here is always the best. Better than any other schlotzskys in the state for sure. My favorites are the Cali flatbread and the fiesta chicken sandwich. They always have great staff on hand and the atmosphere is nice when there's not a bunch of people there but still very worth it.”

“I so missed some good Ole brisket and came across 440 Smokehouse and OH BOY!!! The brisket just melts in your mouth.. this is one of the best tasting brisket I have had in a very long time.. glad I found this little gem.. or food truck I should say..

Very delicious ? I inhaled that sucker❤️”

“Awesome, perfect and delicious red velvet cake with buttercream frosting. Highly recommend.”

“Amazing service and so kind!! We stopped in for a couple of coffees and snacks and the staff was so sweet and the treats and coffee were great!! Grateful to find such a sweet spot on our vaca.”
