The food was good but the service was just horrible. It took a long time to get our food, and the waitress did not seem to care. She was very cold like she did not want to be there. This place made me feel very uncomfortable. read more

I ordered chicken tacos after waiting 10 minutes the waitress came and told me they only had chicken for one taco. I decided on a red cheese enchilada. Not what I really wanted. The food was warm the cheese in the middle wasn't melted and tasted like wax. My husband fried chicken was so hooked it only had a tiny actual piece of chicken that was edible. The legg looked like the wing part. Never once did the waitress check on us. Worst service ever. This was a good place to eat. It's gone downhill since the daughter took over. read more

Eating at M&A is like stepping back in time and finding out your favorite Tia is in the kitchen, cooking your favorite meals. The service is terrific - fast and friendly. The ambience is small town diner where everyone knows everyone else, and strangers are family. The chile rellenos are perfect. The enchiladas, tamales, taco salads, empanadas, breakfasts...I've yet to have a bad meal here. Don't let the modest exterior fool you; the food & service inside will keep you coming back. read more

I was visiting my parents in Mimbres NM and wanted to take them out to some good Mexican food. They said we should go to M&A and I was excited about the food and I was not disappointed. I got some cheese enchiladas Christmas (both red and green chile) and it was so good! My parents said that the cafe and been around forever and that means a lot because my step dad is 95! the service was also fantastic and very homey. Only drawback is the place is fairly small so something to remember if you have a large party. Enjoy! read more

I'm not sure what all the rave reviews were about. The food was tasteless and there was a bone in my wife's dinner that almost gagged her. Never going back here! read more

Very nice family place. Good food, great service. I wished they were open on weekends read more

Food and service always exceptional!!!! We try to visit every Friday night for their excellent fish fry.

This is clearly a Mom & Pop location, frequently occupied with locals, which is refreshing. Nothing much has changed in years. This visit to Silver City brought us to M&A for two breakfasts. Our waitress, Rochelle, was a delight. The coffee was refilled often and the meals satisfying. We had the large homemade cinammon rolls but missed the empanadas. We will return...hopefully M&A will still be there. read more

Randomly found while driving through the town after a visit to The City of Rocks. Mexican American food options available as well as breakfast. Had a great Turkey Bacon Club (big portion couldn't finish!) Staff is very friendly! I recommend to anyone wanting to try them out. read more

Food is always good when i come here. The only thing bad i can say about this place is that its small and the service was ok. Other than that the food makes up for the rest. Overall very chill place! nothing fancy but it's just like a small town joint and getting something to eat! but seriously the food is good to eat! but every time i have gone there the waitress are not the greatest. unless your the only one there. or else i would of gave this place a 5 stars. read more

Me and my family have come here numerous times and are greeted by friendly workers. All of the meals ive tried here have been good except as of recent, I decided to try a chicken burrito with green chili on top. The green chili tasted watered down as it had no flavor at all, and it also had a strange gelatin like texture. I cannot give this restaurant a completely bad review because besides this one bad experience I've had many good ones. read more

M&A was recommended by many locals. The fish sandwich was OK, but the fish was in the deep fat fryer a little too long. The Mexican plate chile relleno, taco, and tamale were excellent. Hearty servings. Fortunately we arrived before about 8 guys (from a local mine?) arrived so we got our food right away. We'll go back. read more

We ordered Red enchilada plates and the sauce was watered down flour. No taste of red sauce at all. The rice was way over salted and could not be eaten. We told the waitress about our food and she said , "Ok thanks". Sad, but we will not be going back. read more

The fried chicken is soo good! I have never had a bad meal here. Customer service has been pretty good here too. I would recommend it.

My travel companion and I stopped here after a trip to Gila Cliff Dwellings and took the advice of our waitress and had the Homemade burger with a green chili, cheese, and bacon on it. It was one of the BEST burgers I've ever had in all my travels. It was huge, cooked perfectly, and after a day of hiking was just right. Served up with a butterscotch milkshake that reminded me of being a kid it was a great lunch. Prices were good and the food was better. Only reason it's not a full 5 stars is to get to the bathroom you have to go through the dishwashing section of the kitchen. The ladies back there are awesome and let me wash some of the day off my hands before eatting a meal that was well worth stopping for. read more

This review is based on two visits. The food was good and service was OK. Friendly and courteous. Very small in in a old building that needs updating and cleaning. They are only open Monday to Friday so don't try the weekends. I guess they have all the business they want. On second visit had chili steak, a frozen breaded veal cutlet fried with some cheese on top with red or green sauce. It is what you would expect from a frozen cutlet not much taste or texture. The food is OK but not great. Service was fine and waitress friendly and helpful. Their business seems to be from the locals and a lot of seniors. I have not decided if I will return. But it is a cozy mom and pop place badly in need up updating but I doubt that that will happen. You have to go through the kitchen to get to the restroom also badly in need of updating. HOWEVER THERE IS ONE ITEM YOU DO NO WANT TO MISS GREAT CINNAMON ROLLS FOR $1.50 be sure to take some with you. read more

Food is always good when we come here. The price is reasonable & the service is great. Small town friendly. Wouldn't miss eating here when we are traveling south from Albuquerque. read more
