Restaurants in Roswell

“This is THE place to stop when going to or through Roswell ! Wonderful family owned restaurant, the staff are well informed about all the delicious foods and the owners take an active interest in their customers. We love the falafel, the baked chicken, and the baklava! Thank you to staff & management for a beautiful time, EVERY TIME!”

“Amazing tea!! Try the blueberry green tea.”

“food and service was excellent”

“Roswell, NM is a favorite stopping point for travelers searching for aliens, bats, migratory birds, and caves. This writer came for baseball at the New Mexico Military Institute. And, as I typically do, I searched out the best local barbecue flavors. La Sierra Mesquite Smoked Bbq warmed this Texan's heart. Housed in a converted drive-in diner, La Sierra's hosts are kind and welcoming. I enjoyed the eclectic bbq-themed decor and down-home atmosphere. But the star of the show was the mesquite smoked meats. The brisket had a nice characteristic mesquite 'bite' of flavor in the crust and needed no sauce. Very tender and colorful. The large (silver-dollar diameter) smoked sausages were mild but carried the smoke flavor throughout the entire profile of the meat. Perhaps the best surprise was pork. This was one of the most consistent and tender pork butts I have ever tasted. As for sides, the potato salad was excellent (even though I am not normally a fan of celery in the dish). Mac n cheese was thick, warm, and comforting. I added a little barbecue sauce to the ranch beans and they were perfect. Barbecue Unchained is pleased to recommend La Sierra Mesquite Smoked BBQ to anyone visiting southeastern New Mexico.”

“Muy buena comida y servicio . Gracias a el señor Jorge por su atención”

“Delicious authentic pizza, love the choices and never leave disappointed. Highly recommend”

“Best burger I’ve had in awhile. Stopped on our way thru town and was highly rated online. Wasn’t expecting a food truck but seriously worth stopping for. Amazing!!”

“First place we stop to eat when we travel from Texas to New Mexico.”

“Wandered in on a Saturday afternoon to try some local beer and hopefully grab a bit to eat. The beertender Natalia was very welcoming and friendly! Happy to let me sample a few beers before settling on a local IPA. The locals were also very friendly and welcoming. They introduced themselves happy to tell me about Roswell.

The smash burgers the the attached food truck might be the best I've ever tasted. Definitely add crispy bacon and the green chile. The extra bit of spice is well worth it. Can't wait to get back to this place!”

“My husband and I visited while vacationing in Roswell from Missouri—so enjoyed meeting Mike and having a couple lattes. God bless you!”

“The Asado burritos are really good!”

“We were passing through and found Peppers for dinner, so glad we did. Great food, fast service and had a nice conversation with Leonard. Highly recommend.”

“Food and service was great. If you are a white table cloth type, this may not be for you. Portion was very good. Red salsa with chips was the best I have had in any Mexican, Spanish, restaurants. Next time I am in town this will be my go to restaurant.”

“the best restaurant in roswell !!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩 the attention and the taste the best 💯”

“Great pizza, the only problem I had was I couldn't order from the app.

Vegetarian options: I don't know

Parking: Park in front of store”

“Love the parking 🤣 .. was good food”

“Amazing food and the staff was wonderful. We came for a week vacation through New Mexico and Popo’s was hands down the best food we had for our trip. The staff was so friendly, the food was perfect. Best salsa and green chile. Truly appreciated the Granddaughter taking the time to tell us her Grandfather owned the place and how the family worked there together. Thank you for a great experience and the best Mexican Food for our family vacation. (Also super budget friendly pricing! Amazing prices really!!)”

“It's Christmas Day in Roswell and what did I find? Some of the best take out Chinese food ever and what a beautiful elderly couple working on this blessed day. I ordered the fried dumplings, wonton soup, and general tso's chicken. Everything was perfect and the portions were generous. I highly recommend you try the Beijing Restaurant. Please bring cash as their credit card machine is not working at this time. You definitely won't regret it.”

“Amanda, I believe her name was, did an unbelievable job as my server. Great personality, friendly, gave me some menu suggestions... told me about the $2 off apps, so I got an extra app, great upscale!
Food came out quickly, hot, prepared perfectly and looked excellent... I would say this was a win for both of us!”

“Just had to thank our server, Larissa. She was amazing, friendly and hard working. We will definitely be back. Good job, Larissa! 👏”

“Hearty Chili is new on the menu so I decided to try it. DEFINITELY does not look ANYTHING remotely close the picture. All it is, is watered down hotdog chili with a few onion and beans thrown in. $2.49 for 8oz (probably less)! My cup was only half full. Very sad! Back to Wendy’s I go! Sonic is ok. Staff (at this time) is proficient and courteous.”

“09/02/2022 11am Cathy and her staff were friendly, greeted us as we came in and while we ordered. She came and checked on us several times while there. Food order was correct and delicious. Cathy made our stop there very pleasant. Thank you Cathy ♥️”

“Traveling through and was craving menudo. Great menudo, great service and good price. Highly recommend! Thank you!”

“We were traveling from AZ to OK! Had been on the road since 3:30 a.m. I went on line to see about a good restaurant and found this one! The closed sign was up, but we didn’t see it! They seated up anyway! ? Martha was a very, very good waitress and was so nice! Made our lunch very special! We only come thru once a year, but we will be back! Chips and salsa were the best we’ve ever had followed by taco salad and quesadillas! Servings were very generous and we had quesadillas to take with us!”

“In food and service, friendliness and excellent place, I highly recommend it.”

“We stopped at Caliche’s while driving through Roswell for the first time—and I’m still daydreaming about it. The Chicago Dog was done right (crispy pickle, fresh tomatoes, that mustard 😍), and the frozen custard sundae with caramel and nuts was pure perfection. Crunchy, creamy, sweet, salty—just everything. The retro vibe was fun and the service was fast and friendly. Worth the detour and then some!”

“Great food nice place and great service”

“I had a cheeseburger and fries that did not disappoint, but the STAR of the meal was the hummingbird cake!!! TO DIE FOR. YUM.😋”

“First time eating here on our way home from Ruidoso! Everyone was so nice, the food was delicious, and the red sauce was THE BEST! Will definitely be back!”

“Had the flan over chocolate cake, delicious!”

“Awesome dining experience. Dinner salads were REAL greens, none if this iceberg lettuce crap. Bread was out of this world, and the entree' quantities were very generous.”

“Killer burritos, they are huge. The folks in here did an excellent job, they were extremely busy and the food was coming out very fast there were no issues. Probably one of the better burritos in town”

“The birria tacos were awesome!!! Thank you so much!!! We will be back again ❤️”

“Hidden gem. Really good food and great tofu for vegan options.”

“I was visiting the state and I didn't want to eat out at a fast food chain. I like to support the local businesses and I choosed here. Let's just say that was a huge burger. Loved it.”

“We have enjoyed every meal we have eaten here. The staff are always attentive and friendly.”

“PROFESSIONAL AND DELICIOUS!!!”

“great customer service staff was extremely friendly food was fantastic would recommend to any that loves those small town homecooking cafes will definitely be coming back!”

“We’ve only recently discovered this place, and have been getting tamales every week it seems. They are very good most of the time. Like, 99% of the time the tamales are amazing. Maybe one every now and then seem dry, or just not as good as normal.Their green Chile chicken tamales are life changing though.”

“excellent food and service”

“wife was happy with her meal, myself on the other hand am extremely dissatisfied with this establishment. first item I ordered, the waitress came back after 10 minutes to inform me, they were out, hum. then my next choice was just very plain, nothing to be impressed with.”

“Great place !! Fast and friendly staff”

“Thank you Karen & team for an amazing day today to celebrate our Dad's 90th birthday. We loved the private dining area, the amazing food, the friendly & warm staff and our special waiter, George. Our guests were in awe. We highly recommend CBD for such functions; they do not charge venue- or corkage fee and it is thus highly affordable and good value for money.”

“I have been told this 2nd Street location is locally owned by a single person and it shows! Every time I go in it’s super clean, the staff is happy and greeting me. I love that they take time to prepare your sandwich correctly. The bread has never been disappointing. I drive across town to come here and it’s worth it.”

“We’ve tried different items from the menu, they’ve been delicious! I recommend it to friends and family all the time! They’re expanding their drink menu which I’m excited to try! I really like their flan but seems it’s sold out quite often. Other than that I highly recommend!”

“All the shelves were full. Friendly employees. The store was clean & tidy.”

“Love this place, friendly workers and good food and ice cream 😊”

“Awesome. Love the food and the employees are wonderful”

“best wonton soup anywhere”

“Nice and yummy foods. The best.”

“Server was very polite but seemed to be the only server, she asked her manager, Chris for help to which he walked away with her following him saying she needed help. She was overwhelmed but very polite and professional. A blonde girl came out with a cart and started cleaning tables and helping the girl, the manager came out of the back with another cart and saw the girl cleaning tables and asked our server why she was on the floor, the manager went to the girl and told her something and she walked away to the other side of the restaurant. I'm not sure why our server had to ask another girl, (whom I'm pretty sure worked at a restaurant because she was cleaning the tables like she knew what she was doing) instead of the manager just helping her instead of going to the back and not helping her”

“Quick and easy. Cheaper than Peter pipers more options for everyone.”

“Au k tacos no se hace responsable por la troka amarrilla ellos invadieron mi página. Esa fotografía no nos representa gracias”

“I love this place! We went on a hot Saturday and then again after a long Monday. The variety and prices are great! It’s also super clean and family friendly. My new summer spot! ☀️🍦”

“Good food and good service”

“Always fresh every time I come here 👌🏽”

“They serve great burritos! My family comes from South Carolina and their first stop is always Burrito Express. So glad they expanded to Abq and Rio Rancho.”

“First time trying NMBC, it was pretty good, burritos are a decent size. The salsa and green chili wasn’t very hot at all, although it had a good flavor. One of two ladies in the kitchen wasn’t so nice, but still got our food lol. The other lady was super friendly though. Would stop here again.”

“The workers are so nice and the food has so much flavor! I will be going again”

“Excellent [Original] Excellent”

The service is very good and they always keep it clean.”

“I sat down today 12-30-24 food was amazing service was great. I got steak and chicken great cooks everything tasted amazing I will for sure eat here again 👍🏼”

“An unassuming place in appearance, the food is quite good. I got a burrito and a coke and the burrito didn't have any fillers. Pretty much all meat. I could not have asked for a finer brunch.”

“Food was great. We ordered the chicken and shrimp along with the combination platter. Ambience was inviting. Service was rushed. Felt as if we were asked to eat quickly and leave. Also, when asked to reduce ice in the drinks, they didn't reduce it and we got some uneasy attitude.”

“Good Food Good Service”

“One of my favorite restaurants! I am not a “rib person,” but I gladly drive the hour and a half it takes to get to Roswell to have these meaty, perfectly smoked, tender ribs. GLADLY. Roswell, NM’s Rib Crib is a destination. You won’t be sorry you chose to have lunch or dinner there.”

“We have enjoyed every meal we have eaten here. The staff are always attentive and friendly.”

“Always great service and good food, the drive-through is always fast and always gives sauce and a fork.

Parking: Very clean and very respectful employees I appreciate their good coustomer service

Kid-friendliness: Wonderful environment

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair parking and no steps other then parking curb.”

“Today is my b-day and I treated my husband and I to some buffalo wings with all the fittings. The portions a so big we had to bring 50% of our meals back home. The atmosphere and the service are very ?. Buffalo Wild Wings has a variety of sauces from spicy to ???. By the way, they have a brunch menu from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for a great price! Also I had a pine- apple mojito. It tasted like vacation on Hawaii?.”

“excellent food and service”
