“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.”
“My husband and I came by for a late lunch after a medical procedure. I hadn’t eaten in two days and my nurse recommend this cafe. I was loopy and struggled with the word Tampiqueno! The server was patient and polite. The food was out of this world and the coffee so delicious, no cream necessary. We arrived at 2. They close at 3. They made us a fresh pot of coffee. All the food was fresh and flavorful. Im dreaming of the next trip to Roswell just to dine here again.”
“De lo mejor que he probado en el rumbo. Delicioso, súper agradable y excelente servicio.”

“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!”

“What a fantastic experience! This charming New Mexican restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip to Roswell. We were actually recommended this place by the owners of a local gift shop, and we’re so glad we took their advice.
From the moment we walked in, the customer service was outstanding. Everyone made us feel right at home, more like family than customers. The conversations alone made the visit memorable, especially hearing the gentleman share the history of Roswell and talk about local happenings around town.
The food was delicious from start to finish, and the chips and salsa were truly “out of this world.” We were also told we had to try the sopapillas, so we took two to go, and they absolutely hit the spot later on.
If you find yourself in Roswell, you really can’t go wrong stopping here. Highly recommended!”
“My first impression of the joint wasn’t great, but I decided to give it a second chance. Yessi changed my impression of the place with her amazing customer service and friendly attitude to people.”
“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!”

“Enjoy the food. Alot of food per order to go.
April 2025. Enjoy the food. Real Chinese food, not americanized. If you don't like it, you don't really know about Chinese food.
Jan.2026: good food. Alot of noodles. Not like Panda Express when you ask for noodles, you get mostly vegetables.”

“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.”
“Delicious!! They also have family fun games & a very nice patio with fans! Wonderful way to spend a summer afternoon!”
“First place we stop to eat when we travel from Texas to New Mexico.”

“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.”
“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’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!”
“Friendly staff and amazing food. I had the orange chicken and must say it was the best I’ve ever had. Will be dining there again soon.”
“This location is awesome. The staff is great and the pizzas are perfect. I've been going almost monthly since they reopened and I haven't had a problem yet. I'm so glad they came back!”

Cheap Eats
“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!”
“TONY, the bartender made our visit AMAZING!!! We we're very skeptical about going, due to the past issues. We we're in from our of town. We wanted to play pool on an early Sunday night. Tony and everyone there made us feel welcome and comfortable! I cannot say enough about their wonderful demeanor, ALL SMILES!!!! Thank you for the good time!”
“Food is great. People are very nice. Service and atmosphere are lower rated only because it is cafeteria style. It is near the airport so on top of good food it is super convenient for the air races. Prices seem very cheap but that may be because I am in an overpriced area. Highly recommend for breakfast on the go.”
“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. 👍🏾👍🏾”
“This place my goodness is amazing! It's one of mine and my husband's favorite places to eat, everything we try is always so good never disappointed. Fast friendly clean definitely recommend trying out.”
“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.”
“exelente el trato,exelente el sazón de la comida,muy buen hambiente.100%recomendable.”
Latest Reviews
“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”

“The server was wonderful. The manager checked in on me and made a suggestion of a new menu item and I was thoroughly impressed! The music in the background was upbeat enough to make the atmosphere enjoyable without being too loud. I would definitely eat here again, if not for the menu item!”
“Dining area was very dirty, food on floor, drink station a mess. They had been and were busy. Food on the floor. The cooking area was very cluttered making it hard for employees to walk around. But over all it was good. Food was great and the employees were friendly.”

“The owner of the establishment is a kind, sweet guy. He's always happy to make some modifications if needed. Milk alternatives, certain flavored syrups, etc. He has a specialty flavor that changes every month. The atmosphere is cute and cozy. The beans are ground fresh every day. And for people like me who don't like coffee, there's also absolutely delicious hot chocolate, made from gourmet dark chocolate. He'll even add the flavor of the month to it! My absolute favorite coffee shop in Roswell!”
“In preparing to move abroad, and for my last US birthday, I thought, “What kinds of things would I want to experience here that I may never have another chance to?” To taste an Ispahan macaron was definitely a bucket list item for me. And I knew if I asked nicely and paid extra, Sweet Baby J’s could deliver my food fantasy to my taste buds. Not only is this bakery the best in town, I would argue it is the best in the State, the region, and possibly the US. I like baked goods and have the blood sugar level to prove it. And I’m telling you, this place would be award winning, even if it was located in Manhattan.”
“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 ❤️”
“I never really go there because the linens wraps around the building. I can't find a menu, unless I get Up to the building. The staff isn't very helpful with making decisions. Would like an additional menu placed down the drive thru lane to see the options. It would be helpful for when they approach my car to take my order.”
“The food is super yummy 😋 and the staff is really good and friendly! I will be coming back to this place a lot!”
