Several people had recommended El Farolito, and it did not disappoint! The tostada was so delicious I went back a second night for another. The atmosphere is small-town New Mexico, and very family friendly. Next time I’m in NM, I’ll go out of my way to go again.

This is a New Mexico classic. The place is very small, maybe seating 20 max. It is also not date- night fancy but that is part of the charm. And the food is well worth the drive. Just call to make sure they are open as hours are limited.

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

This place is great but hours are unreliable so just be sure to call first before going out of your way

100% recommend this place!! My husband and I just got food there today and it was all so wonderful! I was really craving some flautas which weren't on the menu but the owner made them anyways and he did it up right!! The shredded pork in them were so tender and yummy! And all the other food we got was also amazing! Highly highly recommend this place! I will definitely be a repeat customer!

We plan our trips around this place. Limited hours, cash only, sometimes closed, who cares? The very best. Many years ago, we used to stop at Emma's Hacienda in San Luis which was transcendental. This is a cosmic cousin.

the green chili chile relleno was one of the best I’ve ever had! Already planning my next trip back
Simply the best Mexican food I have ever had in my life. We drive from Colorado Springs CO just to eat here!

This is a must stop! It's the "Hole in the wall" restraunt you want to find on your trip. Guacamole and chips where a great appetizer! Enchiladas and tacos where great! And that green chili has many awards for a reason! Stop there and eat, Dominic will treat you right! And you will leave full!

Some of the best Green Chile I’ve ever tasted, worth the trip out to El Rito. Thanks for a great meal with friendly service.
