    This joint is definitely a locals kind of place. If you’re looking for simple but well executed breakfast and lunch, this is the spot. Good tortilla, crispy potatoes and a nicely prepared omelette on my visit today. My companion had the pancake breakfast and enjoyed it as well. Very friendly staff that make you feel at home.

    Absolutely the best Authentic Mexican food we have ever had. My parents moved to Alamogordo in 2017 and they found this restaurant and gained a family at Christ Community Church! I ordered Carne Asada Tacos and my husband ordered the Grilled Fish Tacos. They were so delicious, my husband burnt his mouth eating them because he couldn't stop! The restaurant had no issue welcoming my Service Dog Blanca the Giant Schnauzer and seating us in the enormous conference area in the back. What a blessing, thank you!

    Food was good, when it eventually was corrected. Ordered very basic meals, 4 in total and none of them were correct on the first pass. Bacon cheeseburger for the 9 yr old comes without bacon, burrito came without the smother and sides of beans and rice, other burrito comes without smother. My plate, tamale and enchilada came out as relleno and enchilada. Luckily, the chips were good, salsa was more like a salad, but the food was good once we actually could eat.

    I was craving a double meat, green chili, cheese burger, so that's what I ordered. Yes, I know this is a Mexican restaurant and their Mexican food IS amazing but this is what I was craving. The burger was PERFECT! Very flavorful but not too spicy. The waitress was the person who recommended the burger. She was friendly and the service was awesome. The entire meal was very reasonably priced. Highly recommend this restaurant!
