Vegetarian Restaurants near Ruidoso Downs

“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'm on keto so I had the blue cheese burger without bun husband had the southwest omg my "salad" blue cheese burger to die for. Only thing is the drinks don't seem to be what it said the diet Dr pepper did not taste diet and neither was the diet Pepsi. That is a biggie but food so good. Thank you guy's great job, we have been here many times and always good foodDietary restrictions: Don't worry don't get bun I also love the tacos and of course don't eat the delicious fries pass them on to partner?“

“Great food & service! Leo was a great attentive server! We had dinner and then came back for breakfast before heading back home.“

“Their food reminds me of something you’d eat at your grandma’s house (in the best way). Very cozy & delicious. The staff was very friendly, too!I had an omelette with peppers, tomato, onions, cheese & shared the most savory, warmest albóndiga soup with my husband. Everything was very tasty!We wanted to go back the next day, but they were closed. Next time.“

“They tasted delicious and the service was great! We were done skiing and starving so we wanted something fast and to go! These noodles did not disappoint! The flavor of both the chicken and noodles was excellent, also very filling. The water is a must try too!“

“Great little pizza shop right in the heart of town. Cool selection of sodas, I chose the root beer from Colorado and it was amazing. The pizza was great, a lot of flavor and not too much sauce. PerfectParking: Public parking to the rear of the building. Steep incline to get into the parking lot. Not handicapped friendly“

“Made it out to Rio Grande to try out their wings and other things, we've been hearing good reviews from others. We were not disappointed!! The parking looks bad from the street but there's some behind the building.We ordered wings, spinach artichoke dip, fish & chips and finished it off w a carrot cake. Also ordered drinks; root beer and the hard tea.The wings were fantastic! Perfectly crispy and not too saucy. We ordered 2 orders of 6 so we could try both the spicy boq and the honey sriracha sauces.They were not too spicy or too sweet, a very good blend of the flavors.The carrot cake was devine!! The best cake we have had in Ruidoso so far! Our server actually recommended the cake to us and I'm very glad he did!The spinach artichoke dip was okay, I wouldn't order it again. It was a little too cheesy and more spinach than artichoke and was lacking flavor.The fish & chips were alright, again I wouldn't order them a second time. A little too much batter on the fish and the tartar sauce was bland and the coleslaw was watery. The chips were perfect though!! Best fry I've had around Ruidoso so far!The root beer was delicious and their hard tea was pretty good, we were offered a chance to buy some to-go which was cool.The restaurant is really cozy too, all wood and warmth, and the tables are located upstairs. That was nice bc you can be away from the bar area to enjoy your meal w a more restaurant feel upstairs.Definitely recommend and we look forward to going back to try some burgers and steak!Parking: Not many spaces in front of restaurant but there are spaces in back“

“First time eating here and it was pretty good! The tacos had so much meat to divide into the 4 tacos, the salsa was very flavorful, good texture on the rice and the beans were good. They gave me 3 different salsas for the tacos and I liked all 3 but the orange colored one was my favorite. Great portion of food w the mini taco plate and the chips & salsa were good!! I look forward to trying more itemsI didn't visit the actual restaurant I ordered this meal through DoorDash. This all traveled very well!!“

“I was hesitant to eat here after some of the recent reviews, but our experience was nothing like them. We ordered Calamari for the appetizer and split the 14 oz prime rib for our meal and had the tart for dessert. Everything was wonderful! The prime rib was so tender you could cut it with a fork if you wanted to. My husband wanted cocktail sauce with the calamari and our waitress went to the back and made us some from scratch and it was delicious! The dessert was wonderful also, hot apples, maple bourbon ice cream, caramel sauce and crust, I mean, come on! Who wouldn’t like that!The waitress went way beyond what I’ve experienced at a lot of restaurants recently. And because of the complaints about service I kept an eye on the room. Both our waitress and the waiter taking care of the other half of the room were excellent! Very attentive and fast. The don’t know if the previous complaints had to do with the madness of spring break or what, but I will definitely be back!“

“Highly recommend this place. We stopped in Ruidoso during off-season, we are TX natives (as many in Ruidoso are) but live in CO now. This food was incredible. My boyfriend is from Mexico and he felt that it was very authentic. The enchiladas with a fried egg on top were amazing. We ate here like 3 times in 5 days, could not stay away lol. I do wish chips & salsa had been included and not an additional charge. Otherwise awesome place.“

“We have found the food and service to be excellent—outstanding nice people“

“Grill Caliente does have the best Chile relleno I’ve ever had. I 100% agree with Marylou. It is breaded just how I like my rellenos, crispy. I also ordered the stuffed avocados. They were delicious as well. I highly recommended Grill Caliente. Great service and not too pricey.“

“We enjoyed this in the past, but we really enjoyed it on our recent visit. It was the nice spot we started our morning when in town on vacation. Whether I was in the mood for a New Mexican dish or something sweet. There were options. The staff was friendly and prompt. It's just a nice place in Ruidoso.“

“Their potato skins were great.I asked for medium rare and I got medium well on my steak.The baked potato was fully loaded and I enjoyed it.My granddaughter asked for well done on her steak and got a lot of pink in it.My son said is hamburger was good and juicy.Their creme brulee for the price was super plain, no fruits on it at all, and too much sugar which made it super sweet on the top.“
