This place is the shit!! The only Mexican food I really like in town . I recommend a dry or wet green chili's/ steak burrito with beans rice guacamole cream. Num . The horchata is the real deal too :) read more

I CANT believe this has only a two star review! We've had a home in Alamogordo area for 26 years. Si Senõr has been here as long as I remember. I asked a Hispanic friend of mine some years ago where is the best place for chile relleno's in Alamogordo and she said Si Senõr. Everything I've eaten here is good. I love their tortilla chips and salsa. They serve it first and also with a sour cream based specialty of theirs. There are ALWAYS plenty of Hispanic locals there. Yesterday- Friday at 2pm the place was full and it was mainly Hispanics. I always figure if the folks who the cuisine comes from are eating at a place then it's the RIGHT place to eat at. We find them to be friendly and efficient. read more

High point was chips and salsa. I've had better food, and decor is badly run-down. Waitress friendly. No alcohol.

Meh. Chips & Salsa: decent but confusing. The red sauce was good, but it also comes with a white sauce that I'm told is sour cream and jalapeño. I'll take their word for it as it has no appreciable heat, the dairy of the sour cream totally killed the heat of the pepper. The chips themselves were either stale or not made here, I'm not sure which. Food: I had a shredded beef chimichanga, had to ask if the chimi was available that way as the menu only said beef or chicken. It does come with rice and beans (again, had to ask, the menu did not specify), but not sour cream and guacamole. I suppose I could have put the sour cream mix that came with the chips on it had I been so inclined, I wasn't. One thing that I found perplexing was a square chimichanga. It was 4-5" square, not your typical fried burrito. Flavor was acceptable but unremarkable and not worth a return trip. I might come back to try something else, but I don't know that it's worth it. Music: they were playing Andean pan pipes covering rock classics. I heard Scarborough Faire and I'd Rather Be A Hammer Than A Nail, among others. Very strange. I'd've been a lot happier with classic mariachi music. Cleanliness: not impressed. My table had not been cleaned from the previous diner. It wasn't filthy, but neither was it clean. Will I return? Doubtful. I've never understood or appreciated food coming on those big plastic plates with the steel inserts, it reminds me too much of bad buffet food, and the overall food quality did little to improve this opinion. The location falls into what Anthony Bourdaine calls a cursed location. In the last five years, I haven't seen any restaurant here last more than six months or so. Will Si Señor survive longer? Frankly, I do not care. read more

You should eat here just for the queso alone! Friendly service, delicious food, reasonable prices.

The worst Mexican food joint I have been to in many of days...the food was bland...the seating was a cafateria table with a table cloth thrown over it. Our food was way too long in the making, and Luke warm when received. Our waiter, didn't him like either...drive by this place daily and will continue to do so...and who plays Xmas music at a Mexican food joint two weeks out??? read more

Probably the best Mexican food in Alamogordo. But have had a few issues such as, why are there tables set up by the sinks/kitchen? It is a gross place to eat and watch the dishes being washed. And the prices are quite high for what you get. Please do not charge for tiny extras like a tortilla ($1 each). The parking is inadequate and you'll probably have to park on the busy road. The food gets 4 stars and the price and lack of parking gets 2 stars. The service the few times we've been in had only been mediocre but no real complaints there. read more

Has to be about the worst Mexican I have ever had. Taco shell was very tough, massa on tamale was bland and gooey, green Chile was tastless, tortilla on enchilada was soft and slimy and cornbread served with pasole was terrible. read more

I love the food here. True taste of south central New Mexico. A number of good local options for Mexican food, but CJ's Si Seniors is my families favorite read more

This is the place to eat in town. Been coming here literally since I could eat. Everything is delicious. I love their chips and salsa, their enchiladas, tacos and to finish the meal off their sopapillas are to die for. My family will literally eat here multiple times a week when we are in town. read more

The shredded beef burritos are the best and the green chile sauce is amazing. This place is the absolute best. Can't wait to go back!

The food was great (although the presentation of the dishes was a little school-cafeteria-ish). Prices were very reasonable. The environment was a little run-down and crowded. Good service. Fine for kids. We would go again. read more

Great salsa, cheese dip, and chips while you wait for your meal. It's worth trying this restaurant for their dessert sopapillas and honey!

Fast service, friendly. They had wonderful food, and giving my family a wonderful experience. And at the end when you leave, they give you a wonderful goodbye. read more

Sign on the front door: "Concealed handguns welcome here." I should have turned back at that. The host station was empty, so I asked one of the many other parties waiting what the wait time was like. "They didn't tell us but there's 3-4 groups in front of you". There were also more than 4 tables free, just not seated. Come here if you like guns you can't see, staff you can't see, and waiting. read more

Food was fair at best, very bland and rice was very dry. Sorry guys, won't be back again.

Although not the best Mexican food in town, it is dependable and arrives quickly, even at busy times. Think of it as Mexican comfort food. My favorites here are the shredded beef burrito and the pork tamales. The chimichangas are also good; the burritos are stuffed with meat only, while in the chimichangas the meat is mixed with potatoes, tomatoes, and seasonings. For kids who won't eat Mexican, you can get hamburgers, corn dogs, and other American fast foods in kid sizes. For dessert, the sopaipillas are very tasty and always served straight from the fryer, too hot to eat right away. They have a small meeting room in the back that seats 12. read more

Really, really loved the food. You could taste the food instead of just HOT! The hot sauce was available on the table for those that like it. The food was traditional. I'm guessing it's family owned and the service was outstanding. I will definitely eat there again when I am in Alamogordo! read more

This places food was ok maybe a step up above Taco Bell. Service was slow. Hot sauce and chips were good. Ordered Margaritas and could not drink them they were so bad. Worst I have ever had. We left them full on the table asked for them to be taken off the check manager said no. So stick to the beer if you go. Two drink maximum. Really would suggest to find another place. read more

About as good as it gets for a full menu Mexican restaraunt in Alamogordo, though that is not saying much. Tacos are good, as are the rice and beans, which can't be said of many places around here. Chips (from Lowe's) and salsa are very good, so that helps, especially since they give you two type of salsa; red and a sour cream based one with a little heat. Someone told me that the price is high for the small portions. True. read more

I went here a few years ago when they were in a different location. I think the menu might've been different then too, but it's been many years now. I recall having something like Chili Colorado. It was the tastiest thing I'd ever had in a Mexican restaurant and it left a pretty big impression in my mind. I used to dream about coming back. So after returning to Alamogordo and upon hearing that we were going to Si Señor for dinner, I got really excited for what lay in store! We got there and sat down. The wait staff was nice enough. A couple of hiccups with the drinks, but it was Friday, it was busy and we were a large group, so when that happens, it's easily forgiven. I ordered the red chili stew and was looking forward to repeating the experience had a long time ago. A couple of bites in, I knew that was not to be. The red sauce seemed like your standard-fare, spice-less Mexican restaurant sauce that would fool any regular gringo of its authenticity. Disclaimer: I am not claiming to know what authenticity tastes like. I do understand that the food in Mexico is very diverse and in no way saying I can nail down what is a true "Mexican style". (That said, I'd like more places in the States offer flank steaks and chilaquiles for breakfast too, but I will save that for another day). Anyway, it was a whole lotta "meh". I don't get to Alamogordo a whole lot these days, but when I do, I'd consider coming back to Si Señor with a lot of caution. When thinking back several years ago, it seemed a lot better. Just like my teachers used to tell my parents in parent-teacher conferences: he has so much potential, he's not living up to it. Same thing applies here. read more

Definitely wasn't impressed. Our food wasn't good and it all seemed cheap and microwaved. Very little flavor. I wouldn't go back unless I had to. read more

Food was good and service was quick. We stopped on our way home from Tucson. Portion sizes are excellent. Definitely stop by if your looking for good Mexican food. read more

I have been going to Si Senors for more than 15 years and always love it. The cheese enchiladas are great. The jalapeño dip is great and I love it. We always have problems finishing our food because we fill up on tasty chips, dip and salsa. The place is old and could use some decor updates but it is great food. I think some critiques don't take into account that New Mexican food is different from Mexican. I love the cheese enchiladas, get them every time I am in town. The owners are so friendly. The staff is always friendly and great. read more

Attentive service, pleasing food, welcoming atmosphere.. It is worn, yes but well cared for.. These other reviews are flawed. The enchilada and flan were worth the trip. read more

This is the best Mexican place in Alamogordo. We eat here every time we get a chance. They have never disappointed. The green chile sauce is amazing - great taste and not spicy hot. Hard to choose what to order, it is all so good. But I typically get the Fiesta Combo or one of the smaller combo plates. The Fiesta combo comes with a choice of two soups, the main dish, and a choice of a dessert. The chili rellenos are great, as is anything with the shredded beef. Believe it or not, they are in a bigger place than their previous location, but the food is so popular they usually have a full house. read more

Yummy lunch at Si Senor today. Had beef enchiladas and they were great. Seemed like they were extra busy today and needed more wait and bus staff to keep up with tables. read more

I am doing this here because I could not find their review tab on Facebook. Last night, my husband had a bad experience when paying for our meal. We are regular customers and eat here at least twice a month, more sometimes. When my husband asked for the 10% discount, the person said Why? He showed her his ID, which we NEVER have to do because they usually automatically give it to us. Then, she could not figure out how to give us the discount. This was very hurtful. read more

I have noticed this place is packed with cars even on weekdays starting around 5 pm till they close.. After seeing this go on for many months after they moved to the larger location. I decided to give it a try. My wife and I ate around 4 pm on a Thursday evening. I was thinking beef Fajita's but didn't find them on the menu maybe due to the low lighting. The chips came out with a good sized bowl of red salsa and the other was a bowl of a white sauce. The white sauce reminded me of similar sauce used on the sour cream chicken enchiladas at the Old Road Restaurant located between Tularosa and Ruidoso. So I was also hungry for a Taco plate which I didn't see on the menu. My wife simply ordered 3 beef Tacos as she don't care much for beans and rice. She usually gives me one of her tacos but this time she ate all three. I compared the #1, 2 and 3 Combo platters listed on the menu. The prices were reasonable for the amount of food you get. I decided on the #1 Combo while I was munching on most of the chips using the tasty white sauce that came with them along with a hotter red salsa. About 15 minutes later our waitress brought out our meal. Well they must make two sizes of metal plates and I think I got the larger size. The #1 combo included rice and beans a beef taco, a large beef enchilada and another that may have been cheese as both were covered with a tasty sauce. The corner of the plate was some high quality Chile with tender chunks of beef. They very tender pieces of beef covered in a thin red sauce which I chose for my meal. Now the good part was in the middle of the plate. Should I say a huge very favorable Chili Relleno. It was cooked perfectly and had plenty of muenster cheese inside. The batter was cooked to perfection and could not have tasted any better. This has to be the best Chili Relleno I ever ate. Once I completed the full meal I ask the waitress about the very large Relleno. She said, yes their are few days a week we get those really large Relleno's. So next time I go their to eat, that's the first thing I will ask and that will help me decide what to eat. I will ask about the beef Fajita's on our next visit. So when she brought our bill I ask her about the cooks. She told me they have a very good Chef doing the cooking. I do know a good Chef can make a restaurant a very popular place to eat and this is sure one of them. I ask some friends weeks earlier that's ate at the CJ's Si Senior's new location and they just love the food and larger servings. read more

The only good think I can say about this place is the white sauce they bring with your chips. The service was slow and it took 20 mins of standing in line to pay out. The defiantly need a better system the food was just ok. For sure won't be back read more

Order to go almost every Friday. Same day, same time, same plate. Too busy to take my order two Fridays back to back. Would be happier if you didn't answer rather than spend 5/10 mins on hold, just to be hung up on. My $20 may not be much, I will however spend it where the customer is serviced. read more

I had the beef taco plate and it was really tasty! The beans and rice had a funky flavor. Burnt? Not quite sure but I'd eat here again. As for all the posts regarding the interior. Firstly, it's Alamogordo. Secondly, most great Mexican joints are a bit ratty on the interior. After seeing a dozen other places in the town it's actually not that bad. read more

I'm not sure what's going on with all of these negative reviews. They may be true. But all I can say of my experience is that this place is wonderful! I am a vegan and so came in with some strange requests but NEEDING some amazing NM green chiles. Wendy accommodated all of my additions and subtractions like it was nothing, and proceeded to give me directions on my way on my road trip, taking some state highways instead of the interstate on a route that was both faster and more scenic. My food was orgasmic, the directions were spot on, and everyone was as friendly as could be. Highly recommended! Also her daughter got married not long ago. Wish her congratulations! read more

We are so glad the woman at the front desk if the Hampton Inn recommended this place. Yummy! Salsa is great and food was amazing. I had a green chip cheese enchilada and tostada. Hubby had green chile chicken enchiladas. No regrets! Service was even better! read more

Their new location just gave this restaurant more room but their food and service did not improve. I visited the place with a friend a few days ago and again, I left the place feeling hungry. The food is not bad but their portions leave a lot to be desired. I ordered two tacos of carne asada with rice and beans, which cost almost $10.00. Again, I walked out feeling hungry and disappointed. The waitress checked on us only to ask if we were ready for our check and never bothered to offer tea refills, even though our glasses were completely dry. My friend, who is from El Paso, did not complain but I could see that he was not pretty impressed with the place. Having so many great restaurants to chose from in El Paso, he probably will not ask me to take him back to Si Señor. I bragged with him about the great sopaipillas which are customarily complimentary at Si Señor's, and I was embarrassed when the waitress did not offer us any. A bad restaurant selection on my part for my visitor. It will be a long time before I go back. read more

The best place for true New Mexican food in Alamogordo. the service is awesome and this is a local family place.

I don't know how this place is even still open. The chips and salsa were ok and that ended up being the highlight. I ordered chicken fajitas. They came out on a prison like tray. I don't think I saw a whole bean in my refried bean "soup". The rice was terrible also. Then to top off the experience a fly landed in the fajita I was making and got stuck. I told the waitress and she was going to bring me a new tortilla that never made it to us. The took $2 off our meals and were very rude about it. Will never go there again. read more

Terrible service, terrible food, and lots of waiting. Refried beans must be rerererefried- came out dry and crumbly. Enchiladas are slop, taco shell is floppy. Waitress was terrible, only saw her 3 times, after waiting 10 minutes finally had to flag down bussers to get drink and chip refills. Go to del taco for fast better Mexican, or casa suenos for the restaurant experience. Never coming back. read more

Not sure myself why all the bad reviews, I've yet to be disappointed with Si Señor. I enjoy the combos, the chips and salsa are always good, the sauces are never too crazy hot like another local place. Service has always been very good to me. read more

My first visit here with friends it's a solid, reliable place for New Mexico style Mexican food. I had the combo plate with a little bit of everything; it was served fresh, fast and piping hot. Our server was very friendly, efficient and attentive. I will definitely go back next time in Alamogordo read more
