    Tamales smothered in green chile sauce

    Much better than you'd think strolling into the one cafe in a small town in the middle of nowhere. Though I think we all know that sometimes those are the best places. I wouldn't say this was the best but it was very good. One of us had a burger. It was good. Not the best or worst he's had. A Philly cheesesteak with curly fries on the side that my husband said was good. Sopapillas smothered in red Chile sauce that my son really liked. I had the tamales smothered in green Chile sauce. They were good and had some residual heat. They came with rice and beans. On this long stretch of limited choices, it was a good meal.

    Nice ambiance

    This is a local breakfast place in Colorado that is very good and offer us some unique place such as chili rellano breakfast burrito , Huevos rancheros and anything else you want covered in green chili Staff was polite and efficient Ambiences local hang out place

    Chili Relleno with green chili is on point, service was great! Waitress did awesome. Recommend

    Suprisingly good, its right off the main highway, fast and very filling. i had a smothered beef burrito with green chili and i would say its better than Chubbys if you are from Denver Colorado. It wasnt to hot but had a nice flavor. the menu is limited for those that have kids... so no kids menu as a fyi. when in the aread i will be going back. pricing was a little high but it filled me up so it was worth the cost.

    No menus available online or anywhere else this was as close as I got haha

    They do not have a menu online and are not willing to tel you the menu over the phone so good luck! We guessed and ordered chicken burritos. Got them to go (coronavirus). Chips and guac. Everything was good! It was about 40$ for two burritos and chips and guac, so not cheap. But not bad! If I was driving through again I would get food from here again. Looks like a nice place to go if you can stop and have a drink and hang out too!

    Service was slow and I found the grande burrito with red and green sauce lacking flavor. Wife got fish and chips with the fish also lacking flavor. Was going to give the place a 2 star but the pies were pretty good.

    Came by Lu's for lunch and I was not disappointed! I had the hook up burger with bacon, and it was cooked to perfection. The green chile is a nice addition and the fries were delicious. Sadly they were out of sopapillas and the ice cream machine was broken. Had the cherry pie for dessert and it was perfect. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Didn't get his name, but he's from Indiana. It's worth stopping by Lu's!

    The food was good but the service was very slow although there were only a few customers there. My food was cold.

    Great buffet with amazing green chili soup and grilled veggies. Definitely worth it to get to try…read moreso many of their options. Service was lovely. Would definitely stop in again if we're come back through.

    All four of us did the buffet. There is a good variety of options there, from starters, entres, and…read moredesserts (actually, tons of desserts). However, the labeling is atrocious and it's often hard to tell what each item is (like, the churros were labeled as tacos). I think they are just always shifting things around, so they must have trouble keeping up with things. I wish they had a bit more variety of vegetables for the buffet that aren't part of a final dish (like in an enchilada). It's mostly just meats there. A few of the things seem a bit suspect, too. The smaller make-your-own tacos have sad looking ground beef and "queso." But I guess that's to be expected at the "American style" taco part of the buffet. I see that some reviews have mentioned there being grilled veggies, but that was not around on the day we were there. I'm not sure if that's a part of the menu you can order from, or if there's just that much variety in what they offer day-to-day. What's not to be missed, though, and it very good, are the fresh tortillas and made-to-order street tacos. Very yummy. I could just eat the tortillas all day. Best of all, everyone there is very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. If the labeling were a bit better and some more vegetables (beyond salad), I think it would be 5 stars. As is, I'd give it 4.5.

FOOD There was complimentary chips and salsa. It was okay. I started craving a stuffed sopapilla ($17.99) as soon as I saw it on the menu. The pork was so tender and the green sauce I requested was full of flavor. Highly recommend this meal. My daughter asked for the quesadillas ($12.49) from the appetizers. It was strange that in the middle of the triangular goodies with requested ground beef was a huge pool of red sauce. She enjoyed the side of guacomole ($1.99). My SO had the steak Mexicana ($17.99) which he seemed to enjoy. My other daughter had the shrimp Mexicana ($17.99). She gobbled the shrimp. I tried her beans and rice which I didn't have with my own meal. They were pretty good. SERVICE I really enjoyed meeting the owner. He came to our table and helped clean up some water my daughter accidentally spilled. The only thing I wish that had happened that evening was that all of our meals would have been served all at once. They were spread out minutes apart. AMBIANCE The parking lot was in construction as of 5/26/2023. Inside, the place may be small, yet, there were large and small tables and booths. It's a seat yourself type of place. There were vibrant colors everywhere. A white board with their daily specials was on the wall near the kitchen. I wish I had seen it earlier. Finally, no background music, yet, there was a flat screen with some kid-friendly movies playing. MY RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 3

Let's say, just for example I visit a casino restaurant in Las Vegas. 1. There's no expectation of feeling the experience was a bargain 2. A "Resort Fee" may be added to the check. 3. A "Facility Charge" may be added. 4. A "Employee Benefit" charge may be added. 5. A "Time of Day" charge may be added if you arrive at a busy time. 6. A "Payment Processing" charge may be added when you pull the coveted gold card out. Mrs Rios, not a resort and in fact a humble little establishment will up charge a "Payment Processing" fee when you pull the plastic out. OK but I think it escaped their notice that as that credit card fee is considered when calculating a gratuity. It's true a tip is not expected when the server is the owner as is normally the case here. But I overlook that and tip the owner... Total Tip = Credit card fee + tip. I suppose we are grateful not to be upcharged for Rent, Utilities, Employees, capital improvements, disposables and any of the dozens of other business expenses. Pro Tip: Payment Processing charges are a normal business expense Next the menu items have risen in price more so than others serving similar foods. $5.30 for a fountain beverage is unacceptable when other restaurants are all in the vicinity of $3.00. Sorry, as fond of you as we are simple lunch for 2 with fountain beverages right at the $50 mark doesn't fly. This isn't the Ritz although they seem to want the same revenue flow. Nope, ain't a gonna do it.

It took about 10 min after we were seated before the server came to take our order. I asked for water with lemon, but she forgot the lemon.

After food was served to everyone in the restaurant, our server came by to check on us...we were 3/4 done with our meal. FOOD. We were provided chips and salsa (enough for 1-1/2 people only) after we were seated. Since food was slow coming, we asked for more and was told it would cost us $1.99 for another round. Huh?! We agreed to the charge because we were starving! I loved the chips though because it was not store-bought. For our meal, I had a combination meal of chicken enchilada, cheese enchilada and crispy relleno with green chile. Taste wise, the food lacked the UMPH to make the food taste really good although the crispy relleno was REALLY CRISPY! My husband had a beef burrito meal. Like mine, he said it was nothing to write home about. Not sure why this restaurant was given the title of best Mexican restaurant in the SLV. No way! We are not returning.
