This has some of the best Mexican food I've had in a long time. Sonoran style Mexican food has the best balance of flavors between the chili sauce, tortillas, cheese, and salsa. The staff was on point by providing excellent service both with the food and drinks. They have a large selection of tequila in stock as well. This is now my favorite restaurant for Mexican food.
Beautiful restaurant with gorgeous views! My husband and sister's meals were absolutely delicious. My steak was overcooked and kind of bland for my taste, but still enjoyable. The drinks were outstanding! My sister and I both had pomegranate margaritas. ? I would visit again and try a different dish ❤️

Our wait was not bad, it was cold, they did not have the heaters on, but it was tolerable. We did have to wait a while for our drinks and food. It was just as cold at our table as it was waiting outside. My husband and I shared a natcho plate that was enough for the both of us and good. I did NOT appreciate the extra 2o% service charge on our bill. It was not our tip, we had to add that after. I don't think we will be back, it was good but not that good.

Went in for a dinner on a quieter night. Chips and salsa were very fresh and tasty. Some of the best salsa I've ever had. My wife ordered the quesadilla and was craving about it. My beef fajita was well served with lots of seared onions and bell peppers. Great house flour tortillas. Service was nice and friendly. Well worth a stop.

Loved my food! So delicious! Chips and salsa, yum! Usually when we go places that serve chips and salsa the serving is for like 2 people when there's at least 4 of you. But they had a really good serving with yummy salsa. Our group had a good selection of food. We had green chili cheeseburger and fries, pozole, huevos rancheros, and chili rellenos. Not one issue with the food. We even had 1 with us that has food allergies and she had zero issues. I would say the only thing I recommend is if you go in the evening, don't be in a rush. Did take a bit to get our food and any refills. Not sure if the waitress was new or if that's how they are trained. But overall, can't wait to go back!

We left after waiting 30 minutes to be served. We even flagged diwn a waiter who said he’d get our server. The server never appeared. We left. Don’t go here!
I never miss an opportunity to visit this restaurant when I go to Ruidoso. All the food is authentic and the chile rellenos are my favorite. The fried cheese balls and green chile strip appetizer was amazing.

Seated by kitchen so a little loud? Otherwise home-like atmosphere. Very nice view on mountain side. Shared a plate with my wife. Eaten there many times over the years.

I can't say enough about how great everything was from the appetizers, margaritas, to entrees...fantastic. Destanie was an amazing waitress. She made us feel so welcome and like we were long time customers even though it was our first visit. I just can't wait to come back and try a different dish. Only downside which was small was the entrance felt almost hidden READ THE SIGNS it matters...lol.

The chicken/beef fajitas are delicious, excellent service. When I visit Ruidoso again I would go to Colveria without a doubt.
