“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.“

“We stopped to eat before continuing our journey to Taos, and it was by far the most flavorful food I’ve had.

We ordered the soft tacos plate along with an enchilada filled with asada and barbacoa. Everything tasted amazing, with authentic Latin flavors in every bite, from the rice to the meats. It’s definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area.“

“Everything is clean and was perfect except they forgot the guac and sour cream and put white rice instead of Spanish rice even though they asked if I wanted Spanish rice. However, I have never had a grilled chicken burrito that wasn't super, as a refugee from Kommiefornia, but was still really good. It's my bad for ordering at the last minute over the phone and not checking when I picked it up. The lost stars were more than made up with the flavor and the cantaloupe agua fresca was everything a bachelor could ask for! Because it doesn't come with chips and salsa I ordered chips and they made fresh pico for me because they didn't have salsa. Well worth the 20+tip. Amazing quality and good value. Thanks“

“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.“
