Very good food, friendly service. Like it is every time we come. The salsa bar is great.

Live music - I didn't get his name but he was great & said he's there most Fridays and Saturdays.

Food was FANTASTIC. We also lucked out with some live music! Cool little spot. We got: Brisket quesadilla, chicken taco, carna asada taco And Brisket taco, chicken taco, and the vegetarian taco (can't remember the name) They were all soooo yummy, hand made & fried corn tortillas. 10/10 highly recommend!

Brisket tacos, rice, pinto beans and green chili!

Me and my hubby are doing a weekend in T or C and on the way back to T or C from Bosque Del Apache we wanted lunch and a stop at Elephant Butte. Reviews led us to Casa Taco! Yum!! We had the Casa Taco lager brewed by a local brewery, very nice. Then I had 3 brisket tacos with rice and pinto beans and a side of green chili. All so so yummy. My hubby had 3 tacos, a brisket, tilapia and a shrimp. All so very good. We will come back on our way back home to Albuquerque and any time we are in the area! Super nice guy at the register too. Come by here. This place is packed.

I've been here off and on over the years and it's ok. I think the prices are just a bit expensive for me and this is my opinion. The tacos are large and a little greasy but I like them like that. The chips are fresh and delicious. I had beef enchiladas and to my surprise they came rolled, full of beef and cheese. The chile cheese fries were shoestring fries which is fine. The beans were good but I didn't like the rice. Free refill fountain drinks is a good deal. Service was good and friendly. The tables were sticky but there was only one waitress and it was busy so she was doing all she could. Overall ok.

Dips trio!

Excellent. I'd give it 4.5 stars but don't have that option…read more The green chili chicken enchiladas were really good. My one suggestion, the green chili sauce could be a bit thicker and spicier with more green chili, I mean T or C is what 30 or so north of Hatch? I got mine with diced onions, next time without definitely. The beans and rice were excellent as well. Small, busy location so it's a bit noisy to have a conversation. The staffing was excellent. The owner is a gem. She even pulled/sold me an apron off the wall i admired. T or C is fortunate to have such an excellent restaurant.

If you're looking for outdoor seating because you're traveling with a dog, don't stop here. I have…read morenever heard so many bizarre reasons as to why a dog cannot even be on the premises; first one was because of a "code," second one was because there is a bad dog next door that might hurt or kill my dog and the third one was their liability insurance. Not sure if I believed any of those reasons but I ordered food to go because of the Yelp. After looking into the New Mexico restaurant liability insurance explanation, I now know that this place just flat out doesn't like dogs anywhere. I feel like "dog friendly" should be another option on Yelp since so many people now travel with their pets. I should have left because it was very hot and windy and the owners were extremely rude but, against my husbands wishes, I ordered to go based on the food reviews and also based on nostalgia (because the location was the exact location for great Mexican food in the 1980's. Now to the food: I ordered the large combo. It was good but not the best New Mexico Mexican food. The cheese enchiladas were okay. The taco was not crispy, probably because it was squeezed into a styrofoam container, and was made with hamburger meat. I was hoping for shredded beef. Oh well. The chile relleno was good, not the best. Overall, the food was good but I've had better. The green chile sauce was better than good. I honestly think that if we had been allowed to dine outdoors on the premises, the food would have been served on a bigger plate and I would have been able to distinguish what I was eating better. Would I eat here again...that's a big fat nope. Nor would they want me to, probably. The owner(s) were rude. The food was mediocre at best. I loved raising my girls and living in T or C back in the 80's, but I will never stop there again to eat because the people at Tony's.

I've been back in town visiting family and I have had three meals and a lunch here. The pork loin…read morewas amazing. I was here for their Super Bowl party and the buffet was great. Last summer under the new management I also had the Ahi Tuna (yes, in the desert) and it was fabulous. Salads I've had were wonderful and today I had a quick bowl of chili. The chili was a good temperature. Not too hot, it wasn't nuked. The seasoning is great and thick, the way chili should be. I've spent time on the deck, in the dining room and in the tap room. The service has been excellent. The staff is pleasant, attentive and know the menu as well as their jobs. The decor is continuing to be updated and there are new tables, new paint and new decor. I really hope the word get out about this great dining, snacking, golfing experience. I'll follow up again this coming summer. I can't wait to see you again.

It's wonderful to see dining of this caliber available in Elephant Butte. We stopped by the Club…read moreRestaurant at Turtleback after seeing the menu online, and we enjoyed a wonderful meal there, from the veg portabella to the pork dish, and the chile-topped cheesecake was tasty as well. Service was a little unenthusiastic, but overall it's a lovely setting, with a patio terrace overlooking the golf course and showing off the gorgeous mountain views (and you don't have to be a club member to enjoy dining there).

We had a wonderful yummy time. We sat inside and even though there was a party of 60 (yes, 60!) we…read morewere seated and fed fast. I had the #3 combo. A chile rellano, cheese enchilada and crispy beef taco. Everything was delicious. Ordered Christmas on the side and ate both the red and green! Hubby had 3 crispy beef tacos and loved them. You also get rice, refried beans and small salad. The platters are huge. John was our waiter and he was efficient, friendly and professional. Laughed at our jokes. Haha. The only thing I would recommend is to bring a jacket or sweater if you get cold, like me, in restaurants in the summer. We will be back next time we're in T or C!

This place is bigger than we thought with it's own entrance and everything. There's a nice stage in…read morethe outside area, but we were too early in the day for a show. Our server was incredibly sweet and made sure to check on us in a timely matter. We were brought chips and salsa to start and the chips were nice and warm. The salsa wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing. We ended up getting the Grilled Chicken Quesadillas appetizer and a Sopaipilla. The quesadillas came with way more food than we expected and they were cooked nicely, but a bit bland. The lettuce was also very wilted and old. The sopaipilla was huge! We were surprised it wasn't crispier, but it was still super tasty! I would definitely get that again. Besides the sopaipilla, it seems like a pretty average food place. I would come again, but it's not a must for me.
