Booga Reds Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Springerville, Arizona

Love me an independent cafe located in a small town with locals and passer-byers filling the chairs and booths, giving one a sense that the "food must good"! This place fits that profile pretty well. We walked in and heads turned to see what was coming through the door and after a moment blank looks turned to smiles and we were greeted and seated. After checking through the menu it was decided that we would eat here and glad we did. I ordered the New Mexico breakfast - tamale, Chile relleno, beans, tortillas, and topped with two eggs. I asked and received both the red and green Chile sauce. The green was full of flavor and had a little kick, the red was a deep flavored sauce, not to spicy. My friend had a cup of oatmeal and a Chile replenish with green sauce, and basically licked his plate clean! Service was good, the place was busy but Haley managed to treat us very well and attend to our needs and wants, despite the restaurant being out of a few things, namely champagne to make the mimosas :( In summary, good food, friendly atmosphere, good service, fair prices. read more

Booga Reds Restaurant - Chicken Enchilada Plate with green chili - Mexican Near Me - Springerville, Arizona

This is definitely a local spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff was younger but super friendly. The prices were good. I did takeout and it took a bit for what I ordered. I would recommend this hot restaurant for sure. read more

The food was amazing. Every detail covered. I havent had a great breakfast like this in a while. The prices are amazing too. Get what you want without ala cart add ons. The staff was great, the coffee tasted great which is important to most and the portions are generous. Thank you Booga Reds for making my day for real. Ronnie Chavez 3- read more

Booga Reds Restaurant - Lumberjack - Mexican Near Me - Springerville, Arizona

Food was decent, help was friendly but they were way understaffed. Was sat and waited at least 15 min for drink orders.

Service is spot on. Very friendly and polite. I came for a late breakfast. Got the huevos rancheros. Different take on a classic. Came with shredded beef and beans. Choice of red or green chile. It was really good. Also came with a large portion of hashbrowns. Will stop for lunch next time I am in town. read more

Had breakfast this morning. Didn't get any photos unfortunately. Service was ok. Had to get up three times to ask for items and waitress was scrolling on her phone. The host or drink person wasn't very personable and kinda snappy. The eggs were good and fresh. The potatoes seemed Luke warm and possibly cooked previously and kept on the flat top or not warmed well. Toast was stale very stale. Coffee is good. The interior is nice. Just slow going g restaurant. This doesn't reflect on dinner. Service is still sub par but the food for dinner is amazing. The red and green chili are amazingly delicious. I would stay away for breakfast though. Total 2/10 for breakfast. read more

Been two years since here; server took drink orders and asked if we wanted chips and salsa. We also asked for water. Second server asked for drink orders and we told her we already ordered. Gave her food orders. We never got drinks, chips, water or setups. Had to ask the busboy for those. Second server said drink orders were never put in so she ordered them. Chips came with no water or setups so asked again. Drinks finally came after about 20-25 mins. Food came and the tortillas around chimichangas were so tough you couldn't saw through them so we picked the meat out and ate just that. The server was so busy chatting with her regular friends that she never came back once to ask if everything was ok, if we wanted anything else, and more importantly for the owners' income, if we wanted another drink (where they make their money!). Even cashing out, the checker and our server were at the counter and never asked about our service and food. In fact she took a call and continued her conversation, totally ignoring us, so we walked out. Something has definitely gone very wrong with this place and we'll never be back. read more

Bland food, lack of taste Service slow and nit a welcoming atmosphere Want you out as soon as you sat down read more

Best breakfast I had in a while, I am not a huge breakfast person but I had the French toast and now I am a believer! Waitress was great! Coffee was filled quickly and there was no time to say "where's my waitress" cause she was that good! Nice little place not crowded. Definitely worth a breakfast stop next time your in Springerville read more

We've been frequenting Booga's for over 30 years for either breakfast or lunch. Great food but it's gotten too pricey for us. Plus we each had a domestic beer with lunch and 2 beers were $12. Really? A 24 pack is $20 and you charge $6 a beer. Price gouging. read more

Hot Hot Hot Sauce -- Nice, nice staff. Love to support local restaurants, especially in small town. Good gringo-Mexican food, with very hot sauce. Staff of young people were nice and especially courteous with ma'am and "Hon!" read more

Food is some what bland with no real spice to the dishes but it's not bad. If your looking for non Mexican, Mexican food than this is your spot. The main cook is a genius if they would only let him add his flavor to the food. Ask him for his home made chili! That's the real secret . read more

We stopped at this local spot after going to Lyman Lake. I ordered a cheeseburger & hubs ordered combo plate of Bean Tostada & Cheese Enchilada w/ green sauce. Burger was good. Nice, juicy & seasoned just right. Unfortunately, my fries were a little under done for my liking. Hubs enjoyed his food - "it's a bean Tostada & enchilada, really can't mess it up." Service was a little slow. Chips & salsa was okay. Reminded me of diner food. read more

Chips were cold. Salsa was really good. Taco shells were chewy. Shredded beef was tender. Wouldn't recommend.

We stopped in for drinks and afternoon snacks. The margaritas were VERY good. We had carne asada fries & nachos. Both were good but the fries were definitely better than the nachos. The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed our visit. read more

Food and service were both ok, I had a 15-minute wait before I was sat down by a very young child, maybe 12 years old. After another 5 minutes or so, another young girl came and got my drink order. I had a 16-oz coors light and a water. I was shocked to later find out this young girl who took my alcohol drink order, was only 13. I felt mortified for giving her my order, knowing this was illegal. The food was worth the wait. I won't go back to an establishment that promotes the illegal act of hiring a CHILD who is underage. read more

Best green chili corn chowder we ever had! Staff was friendly. Service was good.

Poor management, no respect for food, restaurant was near empty with very few to-go orders but it still took 45+ minutes to get our food. The gas started last night and is still going strong this morning (with many, many bathroom stops!). WAY OVER PRICED. THE ONLINE MENU IS INCREDIBLY INACCURATE! Our server was nice and I felt bad that she seamed to be trying hard, without the backing of management or kitchen. DO NOT ORDER THE 8-LAYER BURRITO. First, it was a very small burrito. Second, it was over $11! Third (but most important) it was literally (LITERALLY) the worst burrito I have ever eaten. It was mostly warm iceberg lettuce, and I had to look to see if there was even meat. It was as if they had boiled it, without even salt. It was a flavorless sponge material. The side salad was more shredded iceberg lettuce with a few small diced tomato pieces. I am not sure their cooks have every eaten Mexican food but if they have, that just makes it all the more pathetic. The strongest and nearly only flavor was the sour cream. My girlfriend's tacos weren't much better. We were incredibly hungry, it was our first meal that day (late dinner) and she couldn't even get past the first one. The meat (again) tasted like it was canned boiled chicken. Her beef taco was obviously a quarter of an unseasoned hamburger patty. Her mom had an enchilada with barely any cheese, and canned beans... Equally as disappointing. Now for the appetizer. We were offered fried zucchini and mushrooms. It wasn't on the written menu and no price was mentioned. HOLY. COW. What we got was a SMALL handful of fried pickle chips, mushrooms, and string cheese bits. This school lunch quality fair was nearly $12.00!, which we didn't find out until we got the bill. There was also a City tax on top of the heavy prices, leaving us with a $56 bill (after they took a few dollars off for the mistakes, and after a 5% military discount, and not including the tip for our server, who really was trying) With so many other options to choose from, even in such a small town, don't do this to yourself. We still feel gross (and the gas!) read more

One of the worst dining experiences I've had in my life. Staff seemed totally disorganized. 20 minutes after we ordered they told my wife they were out of steak and she would have to order something else. She ordered two eggs because she didn't want to hold up the meals for everyone else. They never came. Coffee never came. They apologized and said they'd bring some no charge. No creamer offered. When I finally went and got some we realized they gave us all black tea. Tortilla given with Mexican breakfast was 3" diameter...and only one of those. Come on! How cheap can you get! Prices on menu were wrong. Higher than on menu. Apparently there was a sign on the door. I didn't see it and nothing was said when we ordered. I could go on and on but I'm out of space. Waitress was cute and friendly and apologetic so she got a fair tip because I felt sorry for her. I'm a local for 30 years and that's my last time. Recommend Trailriders in Eagar instead.... read more

Friendly Staff, Decent Food... So this will be a short review... I had the 8 layer burrito and it was decent, good food, nothing exciting. They give you chips and salsa complimentary which is cool. The salsa isn't like what I make at home... A pretty standard out of the bottle style sauce with no chunks and not a ton of flavor. The kids working here were all polite and did a good job. This is a pretty standard small town cafe style spot. Stop by for. meal if you are passing through. There really isn't much else to say... read more

Do yourself a favor: keep on driving. The food was not good. The service was worse. The two blond women were more interested in their conversation than servicing tables. Would not recommend. read more

Would drive from the Valley any day for these Huevos!! Legit Green Chili too, must be getting close to New Mexico. Coffee is hot/fresh, staff & patrons are so kind & welcoming. Truly a home cooked meal. read more

A wonderful food experience. The chicken chimi was better than most we've had in phoenix, tucson, or flagstaff The chicken was moist and flavorful. The hatch green chile sauce was perfect. The rice and beans were homemade. read more

I really wish I could give it 5 stars, since the food was great! However, the service was quite bad. We almost felt like we were a bother to the staff. We were brought the sauce and chips but no bowls for the sauce. When I waved one of the waitresses for help, she said "just a minute " and never returned. I finally had to get up and go ask at the desk for the mini bowls. Our main server was polite. So, if you like great food and don't mind mediocre service, than I do highly recommend this place! read more

Booga Reds Restaurant - a sign for booga's restaurant cantina - Mexican Near Me - Springerville, Arizona

My husband and I ate breakfasts & several dinners at Boogaloo Reds while staying Springerville Arizona for an event. Good hearty food. Good Mexican food also. Wait staff was attentive even though they were short handed. Good place to dine and reasonably priced. read more

Food is good but dagum, they up charge on small stuff like ranch and sour cream even they don't list it on their menus. I hate being nickel and dime especially when it's not listed on the menu. I was told that it's their protocol and they had a meeting about it and have to charge. I'd say steer clear for this reason or anticipate paying more than you expect. read more

Very poor wait staff.. extremely slow! I would recommend some training! Disappointing place to eat. Food is very mediocre. Needs much improvement! read more

Excellent food! Excellent service! All on a Monday night. A very large party of locals, over 20 had just come in before us but the staff were still very friendly and attentive. Several staff checked on us and let us know they would be with us soon, but quickly got us water and an excellent Margarita. Chips and hot sauce were delicious as were the enchiladas and green chili sauce was to die for!!! All in all it was an excellent experience and we will definitely go back again! Thanks Sidney for your wonderful service!! read more

We went around back to the cantina which looks like it's been recently upgraded with new tables and chairs. It is small and quaint and a more intimate experience than the main dining rooms. The bartender was nice and friendly and efficient. The drinks were delicious. We ate and obscene amount of chips and salsa. The burritos were to die for. Excellent food and service!!!! read more

Booga Reds Restaurant - Excellent margaritas and fresh chips and salsa made from scratch. So good! - Mexican Near Me - Springerville, Arizona

This is our second visit in the past month and again, it did not disappoint. We first came for breakfast, which was super tasty, with great service. This evening, we came again and had the margaritas and chimichangas special. The green chile is awesome, the margaritas were great, service was perfect! This place is a gem and one of our new favorites read more

The food is great and the service is outstanding . Denae is a fantastic server. Highly recommend this place

We used to enjoy Booga Reds, but they have really gone downhill. My favorite had always been their taco salad. It usually had fresh ingredients, and fresh, hot, ground beef. The last time we were there, the lettuce was warm and browning. But the worse part was the "ground beef." The "cook" decided to use a leftover old, cold, hamburger patty, chopped into big chunks. IT WAS AWFUL. The waiter offered to replace it, but I was so angry I told him I didn't trust the cook. Plus, they are very high priced for what they are. They don't display that they care about their quality or customers. Haven't been back. read more

We had an incredible lunch here after a morning hike. My mother-in-law and I had the green Chile relleno and it really had a kick. My husband has the red beef burrito and my father-in-law had the Booga fajita salad. The service was also very good. Excellent stop and I'm glad we found it! read more

The first thing you will note is that this restaurant had the name "booga" in it. The experience doesn't get a lot better from there. Food didn't taste fresh to me, which could have been an incorrect read of some major "gringoization" of the food. Salsa was tasty, but it seemed bottled. It wasn't spicy, but it was free. The main meal of a burrito was very underwhelming. My companions were equally unimpressed. The staff was nice and refilled drinks quickly. The decor is pretty basic. All in all, this is a place for locals and not a place I would recommend for all but the most famished of travelers. There are better places almost a literal stone's throw away. Still, I didn't get sick and it still wasn't the worst food I've ever had, so I gave it a 2.5 star. Meh is right. read more

One star because the food was good, but the service was terrible. We had to flag down a server to take our food order while watching other patrons that sat down after us get their orders in. Then we had to flag down our server to get some chips and salsa, and a 3rd time to get a drink refill. The only time the server came to our table on his own was to bring us the check. When I asked to speak to a manager, I was told that there wasn't one there! When paying my check, I asked who was responsible for the place and I was told one of the female servers was, but she was busy. I wasn't going to waste anymore time! I don't get to Springerville often, but when I do I always want to eat at Booga Reds and I USED to rave to others about it. I reckon that won't be the case anymore. read more
