    Salad to kick off the one man party
    Jeffrey M.

    Well it's ok. The steak was nothing special it tasted like every sirloin I have ever had it was black pepper Steak. I got a side of green chile to put on the steak which was ok the corn had Green chile in it and it was great. The salad with ranch was good the ticket was 39.00. This is almost a 3 due to price ratio and I always gets two ipas wherever I travel.

    Oh man was that good!

    Haven't been here in awhile and then we seen the rib special on facebook and went and got it. Opened the box and they forgot the veggies it was supposed to come with. The ribs are tiny and dry and an ice cream scoop of mashed potatoes, wow. Two thumbs down from me.

    This was the other nice restaurant we had dinner at while staying in Socorro. We were hungry after a long day of bird photography down at the National Wildlife Refuge. We arrived and were greeted by the hostess who took us to a nice table. Our server soon came to see us and take drink orders. They have a decent enough wine list so we ordered a bottle of the Kendall Jackson which the server brought out promptly and then took our food orders. We had salads that were fresh and tasty and had home made dressings. Steak is the important thing here, so one of us had the ribeye, we also ordered the barramundi and the chicken fried steak. The CFS had a really good creamy gravy over it and the mashed potatoes, fish came with a rice pilaf. Everything we got was top notch, large enough servings but not overwhelming. The interior was bright and cheerful and all decorated for Christmas. They have a real stage coach as you enter the restaurant, really in beautiful condition. The prices are fare considering the good food you get and the drinks from the bar as well as the great service from staff members. We would dine here again based on this visit.

    Brisket plate with fries
    Josh D.

    I'm in town for work and I've ate at Jackson Ranch a couple of times. First time I got the brisket and fries. The second time I ordered a New York Strip, medium rare, and loaded baked potato, fully loaded. Both times the food was excellent! The steak was cooked to perfection and the brisket was good. Also, the homemade biscuit that comes out before the meal is delicious. The service was wonderful and attentive. Neither time did I have to ask for refills and the wait for the food was not too long. The ambiance is casual. The stagecoach you see when you first walk in is pretty neat. I'll definitely be back before I go home!

    Rib-Eye w/ added chopped Green Chile ($36 + $3/green chiles)

    Steak a Claim The brainchild of Executive Chef, owner--and '21 All-American Cowboyfest Chuckwagon Cookoff Champion--Thomas Jackson, the Jackson Ranch Steakhouse has been the preeminent spot to get your beef on in this random corner of New Mexico, since 2018. Their menu features dry-aged steaks, burgers, and other manner of grilled, fried, and smoked bovine. The Good: *Reservations available thru their website *Menu is large but not overly-so as they had a lot of really good options and not too much fluff. *Both sides we tried were excellent. The green chile creamed corn in particular had great flavor and the perfect amount of green chiles. The Brussels Sprouts were also perfectly cooked and had delicious flavors with a nice balance of salty, sweet, and umami. *Local beers on-tap *Three dining rooms w/ one bar area *Friendly service *Love the old-timey cowboy décor and vibe *Carissa's barramundi was cooked well and had good flavor. The Meh: *Buttermilk biscuits were delicious but served cold. They would've been much, much better warm. The Ugly: *I ordered a rib-eye steak, but I'm 98% sure they ended up giving me a New York strip instead. Which, nothing against a NY strip, but there's $9 difference between them... With that said, it was cooked perfectly, and the flavor was pretty good overall, but not much to write home about. TLDR: Despite the possible steak snafu, our meal here at Jackson Ranch was quite enjoyable overall, and we'd definitely come back on our next visit to Socorro.

    Undercooked steak

    Went there for dinner tonight. Of our party of six, five steaks were sent back for being undercooked. One in our party ended up vomiting at the table and outside . Hopefully he pulls through in the morning.

    Nice place with good service; basic food nothing to write home about. Only wine & beer.

    Varela's Restaurant - Filet mignon baked potato and slaw

    This is a really cute small local place in Belen. It has a classic vibe with the painted brick…read morewalls and barrel lights. The service was great and friendly! The steak is amazing! My son and hubby had the filet mignon, I had the ribeye and my daughter had the steak fajitas. All had great flavor and cooked to perfection! I had the loaded baked potato and salad sides and the boys had loaded potato and cole slaw. The potatoes were well cooked and the slaw was great. We also started with mozzarella sticks and a blooming onion. The onion was hand made from a fresh onion, hand cut and lightly seasoned and breaded. It was delicious by itself and with ranch. The mozzarella sticks were typical cheese sticks. We had a nice time and found a new favorite steak house. We enjoy supporting local businesses! Thank you!

    Had the ribeye plate, man I really wanted to like this place...steak was well done I asked for…read moremedium rare...potatoes tasted mad weird, I'm not sure if maybe it was made with rotten milk but it tasted like no other mashed potatoes I've ever had and not in a good way lol. I also tried to pick it up via the drive thru but no one was there, I walked in and had to interrupt the owners family dinner to get my food. That was a bit weird. That being said the one one positive was the veggies, they were delicious. I hope it's better next time I may try it again someday and pray the mashed potatoes are better. Also the restaurants ambience is nice.
