“We stopped in for breakfast and SUPER glad we did! Little hole in the wall that makes DELICIOUS red and green chili to go over your eggs, potatoes and refried beans. Huge yummy flour tortillas. \nReasonable prices. Nice gentleman took our order and then cooked it. Owner?\nYou place your order at register and then go grab it from the window-like I said hole in the wall and well worth the stop.“

“I ate my green chile cheeseburger so fast that I forgot to take a picture but it was really good. Came out piping hot as well as the fries even though we showed up 15 mins before they closed and were the last to order. A very well executed green chile cheeseburger. $12.95 without tax for the burger + fries. A bit expensive but that’s eating out in 2024. I’ll be back!“

“The food was amazing! We went here specifically because I love Indian Tacos and other local restaurants -like Viola’s in Los Alamos- only make them on certain days. I’m so glad the Indian Tacos brought us in. They were the BEST. The salsa is not white girl friendly 🥵 (hot hot hot) but it is flavorful and fresh. If you’re traveling through, like us, this stop is truly worth planning your drive around. Thank you Jesus for providing great food and fast service.“

“I have eaten here several times. I am a vegetarian, and have been really happy to be able to have bean tacos. As a vegetarian I have missed being able to order tacos. Most places don't have tacos for me, or they want to make them weird, instead of a normal taco with beans or potatoes in them. I love beans in tacos! Tonight though I ordered the tacos de valle, which are on the vegetarian menu. I was really looking forward to them, after a long stressful day. When I bite into it, instead of the beans, with lettuce, tomato, and cheese, it was an avocado sauce, with mostly lettuce, no tomato, and very little cheese. I didn't like them, and then my stomach hurt after I ate them. I was very disappointed. The salsa usually has a little heat, but tonight it had zero heat. I hope this isn't a permanent change in how they make vegetarian tacos, because I really enjoyed the bean tacos they had before, and salsa with at least a little heat.

Vegetarian options: I have not tried everything, only their tacos de valle, their Indian taco, and fries. The Indian taco was very good and the tacos de valle with beans were delicious, but not the avocado sauce tacos, those were awful! I have not tried the veggie burger, because it's too expensive, for the same price I can get a combo with a drink and fries and green Chile, at Burger King, instead of just a burger. They have burritos, and I think salad. The veggie combo is a bean taco and a bean burrito, no drink, no fries. So I didn't order“

“Stephanie went the entire country mile to provide excellent service. The manager Erica/Erika failed miserably for such a simple order issue. The food is always good and to order. Front-end service as well. Management in the customer service aspect is abysmal. The employee saved this experience.“
