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

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

“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!”

“Man what can I say about this gem. A pleaseant surprise right on the outskirts of Roswell. The beers ice cold, the food fantastic. We had the smash burger, and the shrimp quesadilla absolutely delicious, prep to order with fresh ingredients and hot so be careful when eating. The beers we tried was the Bosque Wheat beer, Sierra Blanca Pecan Amber, and the BlackCock Blueberry cider. All of these beers paired really well with the food. The place is cozy with indoor, outdoor seating areas, food truck, and a skateboard ramp outback. You can come solo, as a couple, first date or a big group no matter what, you will feel at home. The service is top notch and big smiles. We were so hungry we didn't even take a picture of the food that's how good this food is so give them a try you will leave happy and full.”

“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!”

“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.”
“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 💯”

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

“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“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!”

“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.”
“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 ❤️”
“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.”
“Tried your tacos for the family yesterday for the first time. Everyone loved them. Good food at a great price. Thank you.”

“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.”
“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.”
“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?.”
