Hot fresh vegetarian food. Whole beans and Spanish rice are vegan. My husband (the meat eater) said these were some of the best enchiladas he’d ever eaten. I’m trying to talk them into carrying a good veggie burger as well. across the street from the Harvey House museum. Need to amend this, the calabacitas I had last time were NOT …

This was a beautiful restaurant. Dining room has cool old country tables and chairs. The salsa tastes fresh and delicious. Chips were fresh. Green chile cheese nchilada dinner was so good. Sopapillas were fresh and good. Nothing bad about it 🤌 There is also an outdoor area to sit when the weather gets warmer.

You want an authentic “New Mexico” experience, this is the place to go. We loved our time here enjoying the food, great service, and warm, delicious “sopapillas” at the end of our meal. 100% recommend!

I can tell why this has been a local favorite for years. The food and atmosphere are prime examples of real New Mexico cuisine and hospitality. It was our 1st visit but we were treated like family, my sister had a taco salad and I had the shrimp enchiladas. Definitely will return!
