The staff was very nice. I tried newed things that I haven't had before. I got the tamales at the recommendation of the girl. I thought they were good. It came with rice and beans. I also got a sopapilla, which is a fried pastry. You can get them stuffed for a meal, which was the other thing I was considering. Since she recommended the tamales though I got the regular one which is sweet kind of like a dessert and came with honey. It was very good. Prices were great. All and all, I enjoyed it very much and would recommend a stop in. I would come back again.

It will be a local hangout regardless of my review. My dear friends at Sofia's, up your game a bit. Chile is plentiful, and from Lemitar next door. Use it don't dilute it. Sopapillas are my favorite and they make NM cuisine extra special. I am finding yours to be stale and really greasy. They used to be delicious. Find those again. We have so few options in Socorro, we need them to all be tasty. Maybe a little extra effort?

The food isn't very flavorful it's a mix of taco bell style with New Mexican. The portions were ok and the price was right but the burrito didn't have much love or seasonings. The beans were just okay and the sopapilla was decent. There's ample parking and I found a few roaches in the bathroom.

Red and green chili is awesome; pork adovada is delicious. Quesadilla was good with shredded chicken. Prices are good . I like the refried beans; rice is just okay. No liquor license yet and soft drinks are canned - could be improved on but overall, great place to eat if you're in Socorro!

One of my colleagues used to work in Socorro, so she was happy to be our tour guide for that segment of the trip, sharing personal anecdotes, fun facts, local insights, and other background on Socorro County. After our meeting and brief windshield tour, we ended up at Desert Diamond for lunch, and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is a no-frills mom and pop that specializes in New Mexican cuisine. There was a decent crowd in the restaurant for the lunch rush, and all signs indicated that this place would be solid. Once we were seated, and I had a chance to scan the menu, I quickly landed on the stuffed sopaipillas since I had never had that particular dish before. About ten minutes later, our meals were expertly delivered to our table in perfect unison. The stuffed sopaipilla came out piping hot and extremely well-seasoned. I decided to enjoy the moment and indulge, effortlessly reinstating my membership in the Clean Plate Club!

I had the chicken burrito plate with green chili on the side. The chili was spicy for sure and absolutely had to go on the burrito because it was otherwise entirely bland.

My husband and I shared one of their huge smash burgers with a side of onion rings, and everything was absolutely delicious. The candied jalapeños were the perfect sweet-and-spicy addition and might have been my favorite part of the meal!

The service was great, and the owner even came by to chat with us, which was such a nice touch. She was incredibly kind and welcoming, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her customers and the food she serves. We'll definitely be back on our way home! We can't wait to try more from the menu!

The inside is smaller so they can fill-up quickly. I suspect they get quite busy when the nearby Very Large Array [VLA] has open houses / events.

Definitely worth a stop, dern-good burgers :) PS: sometimes they run out of items, so please give 'em some grace - they are in the middle of nowhere
