This was a wonderful find in Roswell. We had just toured the Alien "Museum" and found this to be the perfect opportunity to return to Earth, as it is just across the street. The staff was attentive, friendly, and offered suggestions regarding the menu. We were surprised to find it so busy for a midweek lunch - but this is always a great indicator of value. read more

Restaurant is nice, But I ordered the rib eye steak and I got a piece of fat that was just thrown on the grill , the girls (servers) constantly laughing looking at their phone, only came up to my table once. Didn't offer refill and barely checked on us..I love Mexican food but the service (lack of) and the bad piece of meat that looked like it was from a garbage can will be the reason I will not eat here again. Im not a local so I was exited to try something new...was extremely disappointed read more

Meh. Good Service. Good food. I had double "New Mexican"enchiladas. Two flour tortillas with a 1/4 (probably less) beef between, topped with red and green chili. Red is MUCH hotter and better. Add rice and beans. Pay $12!!!. Plus $1 NM sales tax! Located a block from Alien Museum, so cost is about 30% higher read more

El Toro Bravo Restaurant - Exterior - Mexican Near Me - Roswell, New Mexico

While visiting Roswell, we decided to eat here. While the restaurant was mostly empty, all the tables were filled with plates. Took about 20 minutes until we were seated. We ordered drinks and appetizers, but they never brought silverware or napkins. Eventually, we went up and asked for silverware and napkins, which then they gave to us. The service is what made the review lose stars. Food took a bit to come out, but this is what saved them. The food was really good! We had fajitas, chimichangas, enchiladas, nacho supreme, and a horchata. The enchiladas were ok, but still good. The chimichangas were freshly made and tasted the best! Fajitas were sizzling and full of flavor. You can also tell everything was home-made. If they fix the service, it would be an easy 5 stars. read more

The food is good here. The wait time is a little long, but at least you get complimentary chips and salsa. Be aware that the food is spicy.

OMG! The queso was chunky and full of flavor! The corn chips were crunchy with just a light salt. We split the green shredded beef burrito and it was awesome! I even enjoyed the rice. The restaurant is comfortable and clean. The service was friendly and fast. Perfect lunch! Oh, and the sopapillo was made with corn, arrived fresh and hot, with both honey AND cinnamon sugar.

El Toro Bravo Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Roswell, New Mexico

Stopped in while we were in town for the UFO Fest. Love the chips and salsa. Crunchy, just the right amount of salt and the salsa had a lot of flavor. Had a jalapeño margarita. If you like spicy I recommend it. Many others I've had had no spice. Just sweet and maybe some jalapeño flavor. Not the case here. Sweet AND spicy. My lips were burning, and I loved it until the last drop. We also had the stuffed sopapilla. That was different, but really good. A sopapilla stuffed with beans, beef, and cheese covered in cheese. Service was a little slow but it was a busy wknd. Our server was attentive and friendly. I'd eat here again. read more

When you walk up you can smell the pastries and food which is what drove me in, the vibe is cozy and homemade. The pastries are all made there and taste amazing, we got churros, orejas, and payasos, all taste great. I'm really picky about my tamales but we picked up some red pork ones and the man helping us warmed them up for us as well. They were also very good! Highly recommended this if you want authentic mexican bread/sweets and food. Cuando entras puedes oler los pasteles y la comida, que es lo que me atrajo, el ambiente es acogedor y casero. Todos los pasteles se hacen allí y tienen un sabor increíble, tenemos churros, orejas y payasos, todos saben muy bien. Soy muy exigente con mis tamales, pero compramos algunos de cerdo rojo y el hombre que nos ayudó también nos los calentó. ¡También fueron muy buenos! Muy recomendable si quieres pan/dulces y comida auténticamente mexicanos. read more

In town for work and was recommended by those that live in the area. The service was ok as it took a while to get refills and order otherwise everything went smooth. The genuine Mexican is really good. I had the tacos, something you can go wrong with and they very tasty with the meat cooked very well! The place itself was very welcoming and got you ready for the experience and food you are gonna eat! read more

I really like the chicken an asada. Fairly priced. Its a pick an go. Chicken is juicy, love the jalapeño.

Dropped by because I am a sweet tooth. I liked the artwork of the aliens outside the bakery. Quite cool! None of the baked goods really impressed me. Prices were fair, though. Best thing we enjoyed was the bottle of Aloe Mango that we purchased from them. read more

An excellent eatery, directly across from the Roswell UFO Museum. We are SO glad we stopped in here for lunch. Such friendly service and the food was authentic and beyond delicious!!!! We each had the tacos and the enchiladas!! We loved the atmosphere !!!!! read more

Restaurant: We stopped here on recommendation from a local and it's proximity to the UFO museum. I ordered Chile con queso with beef and my friend got tamales. I've had great Chile con carne and other Mexican restaurants and was expecting similar. It was literally just ground beef with shredded cheese on top. Nothing authentic about it. Not worth $7. My friend enjoyed her dish. Clearly I picked wrong. The facility seemed like it could be cleaner. We were constantly attacked by flies landing on us and our food the entire meal. This made me quite irritable. I was also overcharged for my meal and had to point this out. The staff was very nice and were working hard. I would return because of the food and cleanliness. Bakery: we stopped for a treat after lunch. I got an apple turnover, alien cookie, and my friend got a churro. Decent prices and friendly service. I would return here again. read more

We had a small Catholic church wedding and needed a restaurant that could accomodate 20-25 people for the dinner, on a rather 4 day short notice. We wanted information on group pricing and food choices. I called several other Mexican Cuisine Restaurants in Roswell, NM and was told by 2 restaurants that I would get a call back, 1 said just to make a reservation for number of people and no special deals....1 other simply said could not do it on a Saturday! I then called El Torro Bravo and spoke to the owner, and I must say, she attended me and my questions right away! We ended up meeting with her, and booking our wedding dinner at El Torro Bravo Restaurant. The food and service was EXCELLENT, and the place was Very CLEAN !!! I had a really good Margarita and taco salad, while our guests had the buckets of beers, and other food choices. The owners gave us a whole page of the menu and several other options all for the same price! Our tables were all nicely prepared, and even had the bride & groom table so beautiful! The music was very appropriate and they even offered to play different music if we wanted. I am so glad that we found El Torro Bravo Restaurant!!! The place is just as awesome as the owners, service staff, and food ! I would surely recommend anyone to this place!! Just a note: I got a return call from one of the other restaurants while we were eating at this event, really, what does that tell you??? Plus all of our guests said their food and service was very good! Everyone was totally satisfied! read more

Nothing authentic about this. Seriously one of the worst meals I have ever eaten, ever. I only ate 1/2 and left, felt sick for most of the day. The green cheese enchiladas rancheras, the sauce was missing and only two specs of green chile were found. The beans were burnt, the rice was overcooked and everything felt greasy/heavy. read more

Nice little cafe on the way back to my place, I was hungry after work so I stopped in, I was feeling like some tacos..! Service was good, the beer was cold( which is a plus) and they had it on tap(which is a plus-plus).! The tacos were barbacoa(barracoa) anyway they are what I was looking for..! To me it's a fattier meat than your typical stew meat, with a beefier flavor.! (Which is a plus-plus-plus) and did I mention they had Dos Equis on tap..! Nice little place..! read more

I'm back and forth on the chimichanga or the stuffed sopapillas! They are both so amazing!

We stopped in this small bakery as we were walking down the street checking out all the shops. We were pretty excited by the look of all the Mexican pastries and even more excited after we checked out and the total was so inexpensive. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed by the pastries themselves. They were all stale, dry, and bland. We had had such high hopes... read more

This review is for the bakery, which is tiny but great! I will keep it short and sweet, it's acrross a side street on the south side of the alien museum. It will take care of that sweet tooth and not break the bank. Get some to snack on while walking around the little shops and grab some for the road. My kids didn't want anything, next thing you know they ate all stuff stuff I had bought for myself. read more

I stopped in for lunch the other day and was very happy I did! I had the Carnitas and my friend had the Tamales. We both loved the food! The service was very good as well. We will continue stopping in for lunch. read more

Go to Roswell for the aliens but give this place a try while you are here. It's quaint and casual. Relaxing. It's friendly. It's got solid Tex Mex food. Really great ice tea and lots of beers to choose from. Fajitas were super tender. Ask for your New Mexico stacked enchiladas "con huevo"! The guac is good. This is just a great place. Bring the kids! read more

Popped in here after visiting the UFO Museum on a road trip yesterday. Great spot and it definitely satisfied my hunger. I especially liked the chips and salsa they had. I had the New Mexico style enchiladas and cleaned my plate! Service was nothing remarkable, but good experience overall. read more
