I ordered the Huevos Rancheros that comes with a side refried beans and a flour tortilla. To drink, I ordered coffee. There were two servers that day. Ours was the younger lady, who was not really engaged with the clientele except with some guy eating at the counter. When she delivered our food, she never offered to refill my friend's iced tea or my coffee. For almost 5 minutes I tried to get her attention without success. I got up to the counter where she continued chatting with the guy eating at the counter. I mentioned that I wanted more coffee, I was told that they had ran out and if I wanted decaf. She shook the thermos and she said that she still had some coffee left. I also told her that on the menu my meal included a tortilla. She never apologized for the lousy service. Very disappointing.

When I visit I keep looking for a new great breakfast spot with a nice relaxed feel, great service, good food and, of course, a killer green chile sauce! Today I tried Weck's for the first time. I am now whole again. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by friendly staff and seated in the bright and inviting dining room. Our waiter, Cam, was super friendly and helpful. I ordered a breakfast burrito with the green chile sauce on top and my daughter had French toast with eggs and sausage. As I looked around at other patrons around me the food looked and smelled wonderful. Everyone went silent as soon as their food arrived, happily devouring their meals.

Visiting from out of town and wanted some Las Cruces traditional food. The food was great. Green chili burger too hot for me, but my husband ate it down. The BBQ beef brisket sandwich was perfect. Our waiter was excellent.....but the other wait staff...a young woman, had her mouthy boyfriend, who was singing loudly and using the "f" word as a noun, verb, adverb, adjective etc, show up 45 min before her shift was over. He and his friend proceeded to down beers and ruin our dinner. Being a small business owner also, I think her boss should know...she did not have her hair back, she was not cleaning her station well, and was so busy flirting with the boys that she fell on her butt washing the floor! She then proceeded to giggle and laugh about how she falls all the time. So, wake up boss...this gal is a workers comp claim waiting to happen! read more

Lately I have been revisiting restaurants that I previously did not rate highly and have not…read morevisited in a number of years. I wonder if they have the same management and if they have improved their operation. If they have survived here a number of years that could be an indication that they might have improved. Alanbertos on South Solano is one of those places. So, today I dropped in for lunch. The inside seemed to be a bit different as far as the layout goes. Still, it remains a place for the most casual dining. It is an order at the counter restaurant and, let it be said, it is not the most tidy place in the world. It is ok inside but not an exciting place to dine to say the least. The young woman handling the front of the house was efficient enough but the service was overall just adequate...but, no complaints. The menu is extensive but mostly Northern Mexico meat heavy cuisine. There is little in the way of New Mex specialties. Today I opted for their QUESO BIRRIA TACOS WITH CONSUME. When the young woman brought the food to the table three tacos filled with birria meat and a little cheese were on a platter with a cup of consume, and some onions, lime wedges, and cilantro. Two bottles of salsa, one red and one green, were served alongside the tacos. There was only a plastic spoon on the platter, no knife nor fork. There was no salt nor pepper on the table. Inside each taco was a fair amount of birria meat with a smidgeon of melted cheese . The meat overall was tender but it did not have much flavor. The green salsa certainly helped in this regard. The real negative to the dish was that the tortillas themselves were soft and disintegrated as I tried to eat the tacos. The first and second tacos I was able to finish holding them in my hand but the third just fell apart as I picked it up and I had to consume it with my spoon (yes, that's right, my spoon as I was never given a fork??) This made for a somewhat UNPLEASANT DINING EXPERIENCE. The consume, on the other hand, was not fatty (the fat had been properly skimmed off) and it did contain pieces of birria meat. The flavor of the consume however was just so-so, not among the best. Thus, if the tortillas did not fall apart and had a decent texture I would rate the birria tacos at Alanbertos around a "B-" or "C+" meaning pretty pedestrian. But, considering that the tortillas did not have great flavor and totally disintegrated in my hands I must rate these birria tacos a "C minus." Below the norm! The consume rated a "B-." I left thinking that my previous rating of this restaurant from years ago was pretty much spot on. Things have not changed much over the years. Rate today's overall dining experience around TWO AND THREE QUARTERS to THREE STARS. Although Alanbertos is not a bad place to casually dine, I probably will not return. (But, who knows. I might want to try their "monster burrito " someday???) At the end of the day there are just too many superior Mexican food restaurants around Las Cruces to dine at Alanbertos on a regular basis.
