We were excited to try this restaurant which was recommended to us by a local. The parking lot was easy to find parking in, the restaurant was moderately busy and we had a 20 minute wait for a table. We were seated on the patio where we waited another 20-30 minutes before a server ever came to our table. We saw lots of other tables with obvious locals being waited on quickly and those servers had a very welcoming demeanor to the locals. We were finally waited on by a barely polite waitress. The food arrived in a decent time frame and was at best average. Our waitress never returned to offer drink refills and finally returned stating she got busy and then offered drinks to go which we declined as there was no point after sitting through our meal in dire need of a refill. The most attentive the waitress had been the entire meal was when she hovered anxiously to see what we were going to tip her for her utterly lousy service. Such high hopes for a good experience at this restaurant were completely dashed after this visit. Definitely would not recommend spending your money here. It seemed to be a place that is selective about whom receives good or welcoming service based on whether you are local in this community.

Very good American-Mexican food and really great and friendly service. We bought the Rancho de Chimayó receipe cookbook and we hope we can make as good plates as the ones we had for diner. The prices are correct. Special mention for the wines.

Food and drinks were amazing! Highly recommend for anyone stopping or staying in Chimayo. This was truly a hidden gem and glad my husband and I got to experience the true flavors of NM! I ordered the Carne Adovada (pork in red Chile sauce) and a cinnamon apple flavored margarita (forgot the name) but both were yummy. Loved the little gift shop as well.
Chimayo is a beautiful place to visit and Rancho De Chimayo is amazing little restaurant with delicious food, the best prickly pear margarita, good service and decent prices!

Pretty good food. Don't expect getting the REAL Chimayo chile...it's hatch.

This place was a bit out of the way and they were transitioning from a paper order taking system to an electronic ordering menu. Chaos, as expected. Once we got our food, all was good, wait staff was good. Fair prices and generous portions. Would Go there again once they've got the kinks ironed out.

Well done and worth the drive to this area through the mountain roads. Be careful on res roads, but it's a nice place and not on the res.

A mixed bag. Thiscis a famous New Mexican restaurant. So well known that tour groups in big busses come. The cuisine is as classic New Mexicsn as it gets. The place is an adobe single stoey building with many rooms and one large deating area. There are two open covered terraces at the back. Its very popular, so waits are always long. They do not take reservations. I ordered a carnitas platter. It had a sufficient amount of meat, tasty and well prepared. But it was, at best, lukewarm when it arrived. Iced tea tasted like instant or rrally low quality fannings.
