Food amazing and margs great Daniel is making an amazing difference in the restaurant and service.

This place sucks. Terrible service and they messed up everything. They were watching us through the cameras and came to yell at us. The food was at best terrible. Very rude service and it took way too long. Had to wait more than an hour and a half for food. Terrible ambiance felt like the backrooms by the way. read more

Casa Blanca - Terrible food - Mexican Near Me - Ruidoso, New Mexico

We went twice in the same week. The first time was perfect- great food great service, prompt and well done. The second visit, we had reservations but had to walk around the restaurant to find someone to seat us. The wait staff must have stayed home because there were very few servers and the busboys were all little kids. Service was extremely limited and slow. The food was ok but it came out in a strange order and not timely. I don't know what was going on but they really needed a supervisor on the floor. We were very disappointed. read more

Jonesin' Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas? You'll hit the spot at this joint. Ambience is, and has always been lacking in the ratty little bar area. Small and dark, with a low ceiling and an incredibly loud cooler fan makes customers feel as if they're in some bomb shelter listening to enemy aircraft overhead. I was actually looking forward to leaving rather than having another Modelo on tap. Service was fast and friendly. I sympathized as they couldn't escape as easily as me. read more

This place first of all takes longer to serve you than it takes to walk to the top of mount Everest. I waited for over an hour for the food to be terrible. I honestly think that I could get better food at Taco Bell. The service was horrible they barely waited to me at all. 0/10 DONT RECOMMEND DONT GO HERE! read more

I can truly say this was the worse experience I've had at a restaurant. I have had such an excellent experience while in new Mexico and I'm so thankful this wasn't my only stop or I'd be saying otherwise. We had to walk in to find an employee and realized she was hiding. Guess we should've taken that as a sign. Sprite was flat and had to ask for a water instead. (She charged me anyway). I was nice but I guess that was an issue. Waitress rolled her eyes and had an issue. Chips came out cracked and cold like they were sitting out and was the last of the chips. Ordered cheese dip and it wasn't great. I will say the fried peppers were decent and an experience? Decided not to order lunch to avoid any worse of an experience and our waitress started laughing everytime she left the table. Not sure what was funny. This place needs a serious management overhaul if this is a normal occurrence. read more

Overall, I would not recommended nor would I go back! The food was not very good. The service was okay, but not the best. They have a serve your own chips and salsa, which is so strange for a mexican restaurant. So anytime you run out, you have to go get your own. We got the skillet queso, which was probably the best thing we ate. I got the red chile enchiladas which I was only able to take one bite of. My boyfriend got the steak and chicken fajitas - they were edible, but not the best. The restaurant itself on the inside had a strange smell and was not very nice. read more

Went here after a truly bad experience down the road at the Brewery. Seated quickly upstairs but was not told by the host or waitress there was a particular large party downstairs which delayed our ability to eat for over an hour. We also ordered but were not told that the dish we ordered was sold out until we had been waiting for an hour... Foods not bad, but damn... customer service classes are needed... read more

The food and service were amazing. I had the Hatch green chile chicken enchiladas. The flavor was so much more than I was hoping for. If you like hatch green chile, this is the best place to go. I will definitely be back! read more

Very disappointed. Used to be my go-to in Ruidoso. Friday night, we ordered wine and a Paloma first thing when we sat down, and the drinks weren't served until we were midway through our meal. My Paloma was undrinkable, sent it back for a ranch water which arrived at the end of the meal. Amy ordered chile rellenos with ground beef and red chile sauce. She received chile rellenos with green chiles and no meat. Our service was incredibly slow in spite of the restaurant not having many customers. I won't be eating here again. read more

Excellent food. Great service! Simple menu! Very fast! Especially liked the green chili sauce!

We have been coming to this restaurant for over 15 years... It's always pretty good, but it can also be hit or miss. If you want to make sure that you always have some thing that is pretty tasty, start your meal with the green chili appetizer.They are amazing! Also, the chips and salsa that they bring out is wonderful! As for entrées, you can't go wrong with the Chile rellenos or enchiladas. I will say though... The tacos were a total let down . I eat tacos everywhere, and I finally decided that I would branch outside of my norm and try some soft, corn tortilla tacos... Because really, these are my absolute favorite at true Mexican restaurants... The sad part... The supposed "soft, corn tortillas" were obviously put on the flat top and fried with some oil... Not only were they semi-crispy, but they were unbelievably greasy! Probably will never try those again. read more

Very busy place! Waited for a little bit to get a table. Waitress Joanna was very nice. She brought water and chips with salsa to the table and took our order. Salsa tasted like Pace out of the bottle. Food came out in decent amount of time. I ordered the green chili chicken enchiladas. All I can say is it wasn't hatch green chili. Which saddens me. Chicken had no flavor. Green chilies had minimal flavor. Wife had stuffed sopa. Meat was flavorless and the sopa was thick. Will we go back? No. read more

The ambiance isn't too bad. Food and service was decent. I felt rushed by the waitress for us to leave. I couldn't enjoy the conversation with girlfriend. Not sure if I'll go there again. read more

Food is not overly spicy, a balance of meat to vegetables on the Frajitas seasoning was superb. Service was impeccable very attentive. The setting is that of a Spanish living room, no matriarchies. The guacamole was very good, no jalapeños to cheapen the quality. read more

Usually go in because they have great ambiance and even better margaritas! This visit we did pick up, go in the bottom entrance to the bar, and it was just as delish. Chicken enchiladas with green are always my favorite! read more

This is not hospitality! We stood outside for more than 10 minutes and no one greets us or sat us at one of the empty tables. We asked twice to be seated and they told us to write our name and continue to wait outside. Lesley this establishment does not know hospitality. read more

Came to Casa Blanca for lunch and we were lucky enough that there was no wait. Eating in Ruidoso during peak holidays is challenging so we were happy to be seated right away. Our server was attentive and quick. We did not order drinks but did get waters which were always topped off. I ordered the cheese enchiladas on blue corn and mild red sauce which were good. The rice and beans did not seem fresh but did not taste bad. My husband got the green Chile chicken burrito but didn't care for the chicken much as it seemed to lack seasoning. Overall, we enjoyed our meals and good service. read more

Casa Blanca has come a long way in the past year and a half. New management or owners has given their food quality a major upgrade! If you haven't tried Casa Blanca because of a bad experience in the past, I recommend giving it another try! The green chile chicken enchiladas are amazing, just the right amount of spice. The chile rellenos are delicious as well. The service is great and everyone is very friendly. read more

We had high hopes for this restaurant due to reviews and word of mouth from people who have eaten here. Unfortunately, we were disappointed in the food. We ordered queso, geeen chile enchiladas and chicken fajitas w iced teas. The chips and salsa are very good, the queso is basic, tasted good but we've had better. The enchiladas were pretty good, again we've had better, but they were smothered in a tasty sauce and cheese and the chicken was well cooked and seasoned, best dish we had here. Minus the beans and rice bc those were not flavorful at all. The chicken fajitas w peppers & onions were very bland and not grilled at all. It was obviously prechopped up meat and vegetables that were maybe thrown in the oven until cooked then tossed onto the hot skillet for the sizzling fajita effect. The chicken was not seasoned at all, and the peppers & onions were cooked just a bit & also without any seasonings. We ordered the corn tortillas bc the flour tortillas on another table didn't look good, the corn tortillas were stiff and quite crunchy. When we asked for our ticket we got a box for the enchiladas but left the fajitas and beans & rice. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very lovely, everything is cabin-comfy. The staff are very friendly, we were greeted quickly and taken to a table and our waitress was attentive and good at communicating the updates to our order. We will probably try again and order different items next time. read more

We have been here a few times over the years and enjoyed it. This time the whole thing was a disaster. We decided to split the chicken quesadillas and the menu specifically stated rice and beans. 1. There is a charge for additional chips and salsa, which I am fine with. However, we ordered guacamole and it came with no additional chips. This is very chintzy. 2. Menu plainly stated that the quesadilla (entre) came with rice and beans. When delivered there was no rice and beans. Waitress stated that the menu was incorrect and had received other complaints and had informed her manager. We were not very hungry and thought the quesadilla with rice and beans would be enough to split. Waitress said she would get us the rice and beans. 3. How long does it take to deliver rice and beans? We were near finished with the quesadilla and still no rice and beans. I went to see what was going on. Talked with a guy who identified himself as the General Manager. He said the kitchen made a mistake...so, did the kitchen make a mistake or is the menu wrong. The GM was not hospitable AT ALL. He said he could take off "a couple of bucks". Well, he would take off a couple of bucks only if we did not get the rice and beans. It was comical. I told him to keep the R&B and take of the couple of bucks and that the whole meal should be comped. 4. Wife tells waitress that our meal was totally disrupted and a $2.00 discount was an insult. Waitress then said well you did eat the Q, but would talk with the GM about more of a discount. We are not on a budget and not looking to get something for nothing. It was a matter of principle. 5. Waitress comes back and GM will not budge from the "couple of bucks". Would a little more discount be that bad to please a customer? In closing, the Q was only OK. The guacamole was good. The frozen margaritas were watered down. The building's exterior is very shabby. The GM does not know or care how to please a customer. Very disappointing. So....we will never go back to that place. As I am finishing this up, I still cannot believe the attitude of the GM. read more

Excellent food and service! We ordered the Chili Relleno, one beef and one cheese with mild red sauce, extra crispy and it was one of the best I've ever eaten. The waitstaff was kind and prompt! We will definitely be back! read more

About 10 years ago this place was fantastic! We actually looked forward to eating here all the time when we came from Texas. We haven't been here since prior to COVID & the food was absolutely NASTY! The service was horrible - the waitress took us asking anywhere our drinks were 25 minutes of ordering & we hadn't had our food 10 minutes when she asked if we wanted our check - she did t ask if we wanted another drink or dessert or even if everything was okay! read more

Kind of sad if this is the best Mexican food that Ruidoso has to offer. Green chicken chili enchiladas were a five out of 10. The flies were all over the place and although the waitress was nice it just is a very limp place. I will only go to Santa Fe area from now on. read more

Most of our group went for the chicken green chili enchiladas and they raved. I chose salmon, which was not a great choice considering where we live. It was dry and without flavor. I should have known better. The margaritas were excellent with just the right kick, and the fried green chili strips were a great prelude to the meal. Service was speedy and efficient. I'll go back, I'll just order something more conventional. read more

All I can say is WOW! We walked in on a whim last night and were so not disappointed!! We got a whole variety of alcoholic drinks (tequila shots with home made sangrita, Texas tea, vampira and a couple of others), the fried green chilis (probably the best I have ever tried -and I've tried a LOT of local places-), chips and salsa were perfectly seasoned, casa meal grande was to die for, asadero quesadilla, chimichangas and the stuffed sopa. We would recommend every single thing on this menu and will definitely be back at least once every trip up here! Also special shout out to our server, I don't remember his name but he has only been serving for about 3 weeks I think. He was an absolute gem, super friendly and attentive. When he didn't know something he happily asked the bar tender etc. he made our meal so much more fun. Can't wait to come back! read more

Not off of to a good start. We have a party of 3 we waited and waited started to notice people that came in we'll after us being seated.

Waitress Erika is working hard to turn our experience around. So far she has been amazing. read more

Had a wonderful dinner last night at Casa Blanca! The food was great, Zandy and Hilda proper provided excellent service.

After a day celebrating our 35th Wedding Anniversary in Ruidoso, we decided to take a chance on this restaurant for dinner before driving back to El Paso. The outside looked a bit sketchy, but I'm glad we went inside and gave it a chance. Great service! Abril, our server, was attentive, friendly, and very kind. She heard that it was our anniversary and surprised us after our excellent meal [the trio fajitas plate] with an ice cream sopapilla dessert. Yum!! read more
