“Best food I have ever had. If I lived in Roswell I would eat at Valley cafe every day. Loved it. Compliments to the Chef. Very clean. And friendly service.”
“De lo mejor que he probado en el rumbo. Delicioso, súper agradable y excelente servicio.”
“Had the best experience taking my mom to this place friendly staff and good atmosphere”
“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.”

“I can't say enough good things about CS Design. They are great people that provide a fun and friendly atmosphere that breeds creativity. My child loved the 2 Summer camps she attended. 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!”
“We stopped in Roswell on our way to Albuquerque. After a moment at the Visitor Center for our picture with the aliens, it was time for some authentic Mexican food for lunch.
A search for where the locals eat took us to Matin’s Capital Cafe. And it was right across the street from the plaza.
The hot sauce was spicy & fresh. We chose Pollo Verde & Asado in red sauce. Both were delicious - spicy and quite a generous serving with rice & beans.
The staff is friendly and courteous. Makes us feel like we were locals.
Next time you’re in Roswell, try Martin’s Capital Cafe.”

“My wife and I were trying to kill some time in Roswell before we left, and so we stopped here for drinks. The blueberry craft beer I had was phenomenal. I sampled another beer and loved it too, but I forgot what the name was. If anyone loves craft beer and happens to be in the area, this is a great place to stop!”
“Delicious authentic pizza, love the choices and never leave disappointed. Highly recommend”

“Kailani (caliani? ) is amazing! Everyone always says “have a great day” and she’s so so sweet she said “you’re going to have a great day!” Overall amazing 🤍. I had a not so great experience a few weeks ago so I’m so so glad I got to be helped by this young lady ! About 10:30 am today! Let’s give this girl some credit bc what the heck 🥹🥹”

“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.”
“100% fantastic! Everyrhing from the food, to the service (Thank you, Anthony) to the cost! We drive in from Texas and this is our go to! We cannot leave without eating here!”
“Delicious!! They also have family fun games & a very nice patio with fans! Wonderful way to spend a summer afternoon!”

“Popular place in Roswell. I make a lot of refried beans, so I need a good salsa verde and a good tortilla to enjoy my toasted bean and cheese burritos. They have both. I do prefer Sonora style tortillas (very thin and made with lard) but this place is good enough. I hope they offer Sonora style tortillas soon.”
“First place we stop to eat when we travel from Texas to New Mexico.”

“1/27/26 3:30 pm.. Felicidades por su servicio .. yo vengo de El paso Tx . Me gustó mucho el trato tan generoso profesional y amable de su empleada. Aparte están deliciosos los elotes de vaso y su agua de melón !! Muy similares a los de Cd. Juárez .. totalmente recomendable!!”
“We were recommended this place from one of the local shop owners. We had a great experience and service. Shout out to Terry our waiter. Best service we have yet on our cross country trip. Salad bar was amazing, fried cheese sticks were cooked perfectly, green posole was spicy and good, My wife’s steak was cooked perfectly and my CFS was tender and crispy. We would highly recommend this restaurant and will return when we come back to Roswell.”
“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”
“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!”
“The food is excellent, and the service is wonderful! We never have to wait. The staff is really nice and they always remember that we like extra wasabi with our sushi, and that one of us prefers onion soup over miso. The fried rice has the best flavor of any we have had.
I highly recommend everybody try A & J Hibachi. You won't be disappointed.”
“We had the best waitress ever her name was Mayela Chavez. Everything was perfect and very attentive. We will definitely be looking for her again.”
“Really quaint little place with great food and really friendly service. Would definitely come back!”

“I am from Hobbs and traveled to Roswell for an appt. So I am not very familiar with Roswell. I was googling mexican food restaurants and this one popped up, read the reviews and decided to give them a try. Let me tell you!!!!!! The BEST, BEST, BEST Birria Quesa tacos ever!!!!! (I'm picky when it comes to these) Full of flavor!! I also ordered the asada fries and they were also delicious!! But wait, if you want a DELICIOUS AGUA FRESCA (like made from HOME) THIS IS THE PLACE!!!🙌 La agua de frutas and horchata were AMAAAAZZING!!!! You can taste the natural flavors of the fruit! You need to try them for yourselves! El Guerrero did not disappoint!”
“Let’s talk about a hole in the wall. This is the second time I’ve been here for breakfast. I found this place the last time we were visiting friends. We really enjoyed our breakfast. The service was really good and the staff were friendly. We will definitely be back. 👍🏾👍🏾”
“The food and service here is so good! The place is also super clean so it’s always enjoyable to eat here.”
“Amazing Authentic and delicious food :) most definitely did NOT disappoint. I 110% recommend!!”
“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.”
“Staff is excellent I didn't know what to order there was so many options. I ordered the best burrito I've eaten. You just pick what you want and they make it. The flour tortillas tasted just like the my grandmother's.”

“This Popeyes in particular broke the mold!!! I'm a director in food service and I don't expect high quality food late night but this Popeyes gave us everything hot and fresh and I think it was only 2 people and we ordered a 12pc tailgate and the car behind us did too,both orders were super fresh. I may only visit this Popeyes,none of the others and actually doing it right like this one and this was 4th of July night,went far beyond my expectations!!”
“I went thru the drive thru today. I was helped by a Pedro S. He was the most polite person i have ever dealt with at this location. He went above and beyond even offered me a cup of ice for my bottled drink. The food was great and I got all my sauces. I appreciate Pedro his kindness and smile made my day! Thank you!”

“Greated by smiling faces and the pride only found in a family business.
The coffee is stellar and they have a littiney of options for everyone.
The Degenerate is a bold drink which showcases their beans and roasting talents exceedingly well.
The inside is clean, updated, and purposefully designed. Music is present but tastefully tuned so you arent overwhelmed by volume.
Highly recommend a visit and when we come to roswell, we will be back.”
“Jeri made a beautiful and delicious cake for our wedding earlier in June. Her process from the contract phase to delivery was straight forward and simple. She was easily able to make some dietary accommodations for us as well. The gluten free portion of the cake was wonderful. Most of our guests could not tell it apart from the regular cake. Jeri was very responsive and answered phone calls and emails quickly. The cake was absolutely delicious and complimented by our guests multiple times. Prices were very reasonable as well!”
“We went today after school to get my girls a sandwich….all of the staff was so friendly and welcoming. I have a daughter with celiac disease and they were SO good about preparing the gluten free sandwich with no cross contamination. More careful than any other restaurant I have seen in Roswell! Will definitely be visiting often ❤️”
“The food is super yummy 😋 and the staff is really good and friendly! I will be coming back to this place a lot!”
