Restaurants near El Rito

“Definitely nothing to look at, located in a very old & tiny (maybe 5 tables) adobe building in the heart of El Rito (what's left of it)...but the food was great! We ate there twice in 1 week. Everything we had was very tasty...chiles rellenos, chicken enchiladas, tacos, stuffed chicken/bean sopapilla, beans, rice, sopapillas with honey. Everything is made from scratch by 1 guy & the only other employee is a girl who takes your order & money, & answers the phone (they do a big takeout business, mostly locals). You walk up to the counter to order & pay, & choose your drink from the cooler. Everything is served in takeout containers (even if eating in). Prices are excellent, especially for fresh made food. The menu is mostly northern NM cuisine, but is more extensive than you'd expect considering the size of the place. Generally open 1:30-ish to 7:30-ish Wed-Sun. You can eat a generous portioned meal for $10-12 or less per person. We will definitely be back!”

“I drove three hours and waited an hour for them to open...others were waiting too. No show Jones!”

“This is a wonderful restaurant. Good high-speed Wi-Fi as a bonus”

“The owner is a delight. No food. They do have snacks. Cafe Sierra Negra is right down the road . It's a great spot. You will run into all kinds of different people here.”

“My eldest brother who resided in California married into an Italian family who owned several Italian / Pizza restaurants. I drive by Momacita's every weekend and finally decided to stop and pick up a pie. When I walked up to the window to pay for the pizza I was thrown back to my childhood with the familiar aroma. When I took my first bite WOW I was 10 years old again in HEAVEN remembering that authentic taste of Italy. My Brothers in-laws always treated us like true family. Take it from me you will not be disappointed and build some awesome memories with Family. ENJOY”

“Dog friendly. Wait staff was very pleasant. Very unique little area out in the middle of no where. Food was good. Green chili burger, Mac and cheese and an excellent strawberry greens salad.”

“We had dinner and breakfast at the restaurant and each time our food was not hot. Just warm. We had to have the soup taken back, which they did without a problem. It's just not up to the standards we have seen in the past.”
