The most tender and best carne asada tacos we've ever had. Beef Chimichanga with green chili sauce lived up to the reputation. Our server, Cami, was great and the setting was relaxed for a Sunday afternoon lunch. read more

How can this be rated 3 1/2 stars. It is our 1st choice in springerville. Huevos rancheros is the best around.

Friendly clean restaurant. Staff great. Mexican Food good for a small town! Nice surprise!

Was highly recommended to us by Wade Allred at the western wear store. Holy cow! I love a good chicken enchilada but this was outta this world!!! I only wish I could find this in Mesa, AZ. Great service as well. Thank you. read more

Well... guess we caught them on a off day. Read the other reviews & gave it a try. If you like Pace Picante salsa then the chips & salsa will make you happy. Oh, and if you would like a $4 burrito for $9 then you will definitely like this place. Maybe the couple other items on the menu are what everyone is raving about.... just my 2 cents worth since that's all I have left after paying for lunch. read more

Had a very tasty bowl of Green Chile Corn Chowder @ my Cousins Uncle Buster's restaurant today! Erica was a great server and Adon was a very polite young cashier. Got to chat with my Aunt Margo & Uncle Buster Sr. too read more

I used to eat here once a week, but now that I've retired and I live 50 miles away, I hadn't eaten here in a couple of yrs. I was really looking forward to the chimichanga, my favorite, and it's just as good as ever. I prefer beef, with green chili, naturally from Hatch county. It is as good as I remembered it. Wife, who usually sticks to a single taco ( I know, she's tiny), decided to chimi with me, and all she could say was how right I was. It's really all about the best green chili in the world, from Hatch, and perfectly seasoned guacamole. I'm always amazed by tourists from the east who consider themselves experts on Mexican food. There is so much more to learn from the southwest, hopefully they will appreciate our best restaurants in time. 5 stars all day long. read more

Nice find in the White Mountains. Large portions and lots of cheese. Casual and plenty of seating for a large party. My children Loved it. Will visit again. read more

Finally good food and great service. The machaca and eggs was great. Lumberjack we asked for hash browns crispy (but not burnt) and they were perfect. Salsa is very mild but good. Service was great and food came quickly (unlike a lot of places here). We were even going to go back for dinner but got too tired and stayed in. Only and very small complaint waitress forgot our side of pancakes but we were so full from the good food it didn't matter. I 100% recommend. And a full bar for those who care. read more

So we were riding the Devil's Highway on our motorcycles and stopped here in the middle of a down pour to dry off and get something to eat. There was 5 of us so we ask if we could sit in the larger dinning room. They said yes. The food was OK at best. The service was extremely slow. 3 of us ordered coffee and when they brought it out to us, it was cold. Will try somewhere else next time. read more

I've given this place three tries, and each time it seems to have gotten progressively worse. If half the tables are occupied, then the staff is overwhelmed apparently. Slow service, order a chimi and get a taco (huh? How do you mix up those?). If there's more than 4 customers in the bar, then don't expect timely service...especially if ordering food. Servers and bartender were all very nice, young and anxious to please, but management obviously is not involved enough to provide proper leadership to their crew. Food is ok. Mexican food in AZ should be better than this though. Cold, raw hashbrowns this morning. Still looking for a decent place in Springerville. read more

Stopped in here for a quick "to go" burrito on my way out of Springerville after a work trip. My bean and cheese burro was just okay, service was adequate, the chips tasted store bought and slightly stale, and the Coke was flattish. As another reviewer stated the salsa tasted like Pace. All of that wouldn't have been near as bad if I hadn't spent almost 10 dollars for the priveledge. read more

Went to the cantina for apps and a couple beers and football. Not the best place to watch a game but the apps were good. Not a great beer selection but I am a beer snob. Didn't get a chance to go there for dinner. read more

Not a bad spot to stop in for a quick bite. Salsa was not the best but I had the eight layer burrito and was not bad.

I love booga reds! There green chili burro is my favorite! My friends and I try to eat eat here at least once a week! Very friendly staff too! read more

This place gets such raves on occasion, including Arizona Highways, that it makes you wonder about the bandwagon effect, or the emperor with no clothes. It is a local restaurant with edible food, but as far as a regional gourmet Mex, well, that's a far off dream. The food was average for a small town restaurant, the green chili was no better than a dozen other restaurants, but consider that the small town effect here makes it an apparent standout among a very sparse selection. Hardly worth a special trip, and I suspect if they gave up the goofy name, they wouldn't have much else going for them. And please, " real Mex", as if. read more

I've never gone on yelp to put down anybody but I felt this was a need to rate, just to help other people. The service was the worst that I've had in probably 10 years. The food was halfway decent, I was not expecting it to be great food by any means so I would have to give my plate three stars. The other persons with me that got a taco got half of a hamburger patty in there taco for the ground beef. The price wasn't ridiculous but for the same plate it was about three dollars more than most all of the other restaurants around. Sorry to have to give you such a low score a bit hopefully the owner gets this and can help improve the quality with this feedback. I will come back and try it again in a month or so and let's see if anything has changed. read more

Seems like my review will be slightly different than previously ones....I gave it a shot because of the high reviews and it was across the street from my hotel. For sure, this was not traditional Mexican food. Rice was tasteless and out of a box, beans came from a can on the same shelf, my chicken enchilada was boring and my beef taco had some sort of pressed beef patty in a hard shell. Never found a single onion or cilantro, I would compare the whole experience with a TV dinner or a meal from the galley when I was a sailor. The service was fine with the waitress very friendly with that being the only reason I gave more than 1 star. read more

Went here while in town for work. This place was good! The red sauce was tasty and service was friendly and fast. I had the enchilladas. The chips and salsa were good too. Would definitely go back. read more

This is a really nice place to eat. Food is good. Service is excellent. One of the best restaurants in town.

Excellent food. Authentic Mexican food. Clean and staff is very friendly!! My suggestion is the shredded beef tacos & shredded beef enchiladas with red chili sauce!! read more

Very good!! We had a group of 8, no problem accommodating us and the food came out in a timely manner. I would eat here again.

The service was a little slow but it was worth the wait. The green chili was awesome, as was the rest of our meal. Would definitely go back there again! read more

Last two times we visited, we were server incorrect items. Yes, they corrected their errors, but it shouldn't have happened in the first place. Think their cook doesn't read the orders too well, or the orders are poorly written. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. read more

Only went to the bar. Liked the bar decor prices were very reasonable on drinks. If you go between 3pm and 6pm they have a five dollar menu. The 4 tacos for 5 bucks is a great deal. Only drawback is the bar is small so there was not anywhere to sit at the bar. read more

I just love the place. Great friendly people and wow the food. Nice looking atmosphere with Cantina in the BACK!

Traveling thru on our way home, looking for breakfast, looked at some of the reviews and decided to stop, plus it didn't look very busy. We ordered eggs and hash browns nothing extravagant. It took over 45 minutes to get our food..it looked great, but COLD! Obviously our food had sat in window way to long. Have the coffee it was very good and at least it was hot read more

First of all great customer service from Jack and the food is good and tasty! Will return again in July!

The Fam and I came here one afternoon because Los Dos Molinos was closed until dinner service. We had looked up the reviews and saw they were decent. I can't stress enough how disappointed we were. The chips were stale and the salsa was worse than Pace Picante, more like Safeway Brand. We had hoped that the margaritas would redeem them but were sadly mistaken. My bean burrito was so cold and tasteless I asked for some hot sauce (tabasco, cholula... something) to somehow make it edible and was told that they didn't have any... read more

We really enjoyed our visit to Booga Red's. Another couple joined us for our anniversary, and we really liked the variety on the menu. One of us wanted a burger, and the other three wanted Mexican food. Our meal didn't take very long, and it tasted very good. The price was very reasonable. If you're in the Springerville area, and want a good small town restaurant, this is the place. read more

Every time I'm in Springerville or the White Mountains I try to stop by Booga Reds. Best breakfast around and friendly people ( friendly enough, anyway) Not a regular, so the waitress seemed spooked by a lone male customer. Try the "country scram". really good. read more

I have family that stay in the area during the summer and eat here fairly frequently and they love the place. When we joined them for a lunch this summer, even they were disappointed on the day we visited, so it seems evident that the quality of the food will vary greatly depending apparently on who is in the kitchen. Yes the chips and salsa are free, but the salsa was so bad (canned tomato flavor and runny as heck) and when we asked if there was a spicier salsa back there she could bring, the waitress returned with something that tasted like ketchup gone bad. The chile relleno was ok, but pretty soggy and overly breaded. The rest of the table had dishes that were ok and not great. Take your chances and maybe you'll find them on a good day. read more

Try the shredded beef chimichanga!! It is super. Enough for two also Guacamole was very Taos's well

Had breakfast, the Booga Red special. Very good breakfast and fair priced. The café is very clean and well decorated. The service is excellent. read more

My dad and I were going through Springerville on the way to Albuquerque and we stopped in at Booga Red. I gotta say, we were thoroughly disappointed. We got in and took a seat, the waitress took our orders and said she'd"be right back with some chips and salsa" she was not right back. She had forgotten about us,and if it had been busier I would have understood. But no, there were about 6 tables filled and 6 waiters. She noticed about 10 minutes later and then told us again that she would be back with chips and salsa. This time she was. It was mediocre at best. The salsa seemed store bought and the chips were tasteless. I ordered the choose 2 combination with an enchilada and tamale. The plate was spicy. But it tasted like a fake spicy. It was as if someone had dumped some artificial spiciness into my food. Not good at all. The wait is long and the food is overpriced. My advice, go about 2 streets down. There's a subway, it'll save you time and money. read more

Food was really disappointing. Had a chicken chimichanga and the chicken tasted off. The salsa tasted like something out of a bottle and the chips tasted out of a bag. Service was fine. Give it a miss. read more

We were looking for a healthier alternative to fast food. Had the fajita salad and man! That's a good salad. It has a great blend of herbs and spices and the sautéed vegetables make a salad dressing unnecessary. Service is timely and staff Is pleasant and responsive. read more

Disgusting breakfast. Fake orange juice, hash browns were raw, over easy eggs were raw, 2 tiny sausages and an EXTRA $2.25 for 2 small pieces of toast. Complete disappointment and rip off. Avoid plenty of other places in town. read more
