6 Best Cafes near Ruidoso Downs

“I would highly recommend White Mountain taxidermy for processing, their quality of their work only makes their prices very reasonable!! They have done awesome work and I will only go to them for all our future processing. Thank you Josh and to your guys for your great work! We truly appreciate the service!“

“We enjoyed our food and service. Marisol was our waitress. She was attentive and quick. This continues to be one of our favorite Mexican food restaurants in Ruidoso, NM. My favorite is the shredded beef burrito smothered in green chile. If you have left over green chile, use the chips to scoop up the leftovers. *Chef's “

“I’ve been living here over a year and can’t believe I’ve never been to this place. The chorizo burrito and jalapeño bacon burrito were amazing. Had the abuelita mocha to drink and reminded me of when I was a kid. Amazing place and will definitely be back.“

“My family is visiting Alto/Ruidoso from Texas and we’re looking for an all American breakfast. We are so happy we stumbled into Alto Cafe. Seriously one of the best breakfasts we’ve had in a long time and the service was phenomenal. I wish we were going to be in town longer so we could come back! Seriously - so good that we even tipped the cooks. What a gem y’all have here in Alto!“
