    Fish tacos - yum
    Steve S.

    We stopped here becausee it said they have outsside seating but they don't. (We are traveling with our dog.) It's not very big inside, I counted 7 tables. But it's clean and looks to be well run. I got the fish tacos. It comes with 3 tacos, rice & beans. Nice, tasted great. My SO ordered carne asadaa quesadilla and chili relieno which was wonderful. Nice people, fast service, reasonable priced, what's not to like?

    Beef fajitas and combo plate

    Husband and I stopped in Deming for the night, while on a road trip. Per Yelp reviews, we decided to go to Benji's. So so happy we did. Immediately served with chips and salsa. The salsa was so good we asked for refills 3 times and fought over it. Fresh flavor and good heat. I ordered steak fajitas. The meat was cooked perfectly with peppers and onions. The beans served were possibly the best I have ever had. I usually skip the beans. Husband ordered the combo plate and enjoyed every bite. Very attentive service and nice friendly staff. And a lot of food for a very good price. Adding Benji's to my favorites list.

    If you aren't at Benji's then you are for sure missing out!

    We are traveling in our RV and made most of our meal along our tip but when we read the reviews for this place we had to stop. I'm so glad we did. This beautiful family is working together to roll out some amazing food. My husband and I ordered the combination one red and one green Chile sauce. It came with one beef taco, one tamale, one cheese enchilada, a tamale and rice and beans. It was so much food. We paid $20 and it also came with chips and salsa. The green Chile sauce does have a little bit of kick but we love spicy so for us it wasn't bad at all. We split of the combos and leaving the other for lunch tomorrow. The place was clean and appeared to be following COVId guidelines. They all had masks and plenty of hand sanitizer.

    Red & green cheese enchiladas & chile rellano YUM!

    The food was just ok. It tastes like they probably need to change the oil in the fryer. Great customer service.

    Driving through the town of Deming in SW New Mexico and saw this restaurant off the 10 freeway. We…read morewere warmly greeted by the owner who told us to pick a table we preferred . There's a small u shaped bar seating and larger dining areas on either side . I noticed a couple of ribbons on the counter and he mentioned his salsa , red chili snd BBQ has won local awards . He brought out a complimentary basket of chips and green Hatch chili salsa to start . Oh boy! This was the best salsa! Tasty with a kick but not too spicy . My daughter scooped up every last bit. He suggested the special burrito. ($13?) I took his advise and got it . It was humongous! Definitely enough to share . My daughter wanted the salmon dinner which was standard fare so, she helped me eat my burrito instead . My burrito was way better . It had everything but the kitchen sink in it . Sooo good . Even though we ate until we were full , we still had 1/2 a burrito left! (Ate the rest for breakfast the next day !) Glad we found this gem driving through on our road trip. * The owners Hatch chili salsa should be sold in jars !

Glad we stopped because the Chile Relleno was one of the best I had in a long time. The shell was very crispy. Wow covered with sauce. Hard to make crispy inside. The rice and beans came with. It was really good too. We're also order the steak, medium rare, but we had to send it back for a little more cooking. Overall, the flavor was very good. Came with fries and a salad.
