Lucy's Cantina Bar

We had a good experience while just found the majority of the food ok. We did have the queso that had a green/hatch chili base and that was amazing; I loved it. The chilie relleno plate was ok but not great as it was standard.The table had various other meals that were ok. The food was fresh and ok flavor.Service while here was great. The waitress was responsive, quick, and attentive.

Good local restaurant with plenty of room for families. My only complaint is the fajitas only came with 1 tortilla and no rice/beans. Maybe that's just the way things are served in NM. As a Texan not used to that. But it was fine, I asked the waitress about the tortilla and she was happy to provide me another no charge. The chili con queso is soooo good though. I've never had anywhere and it was delicious. Service was excellent we really liked the waitress. I'd come here again...read full review
