We started our meal with the fried green chilie strips appetizer. These were crispy and flavorable. The days special was loaded nachos which my friends ordered and shared saying they were very good. I ordered the award winning green chilie cheese burger and fresh fries. What an enjoyable treat. The service was as great as the food. I highly recommend stopping here on your next trip to this historic region of NM.

Nice roomy seatings, they allow service dogs which is a big plus for me. Friendly and good service with the staff. Food is delicious, flavorful and very filling! Not a long wait to get your food. Menus had good choices and next time I'm saving room for desert because the ice cream store next store is connected and had some delicious looking choices too! Attentive waitress that asked how my food was, filled my drink, just in time to cool the green chili that was just the right heat, flavorful & delicious.

It is a good choice if you're looking for some fantastic food. I had a chicken and green chili quesadilla that was amazing And I picked up a beef and green chili burrito for the morning, which I ate cold and was equally as amazing. If you're running through this town, if you want some good, reasonably price food, this is a great choice. If you're in a hurry, there's a truckstop down the street or you can probably get some roller dogs

We came to this newer location a while back & had the green chili cheeseburger. It was great. This time we had the 16" supreme pizza. We substituted the bell pepper for green chili. The crust was amazing, the sauce was really good, it was loaded with ingredients. They weren't stingy. Pepperoni, onion, fresh mushrooms, green chili and Italian sausage. Oh yeah!! And of course lots of cheese. It was so good. The service was amazing. The building is very old but kept very clean. We will definitely go back

We had two separate order of sweet potato fries, one was good other was the older ones, cold and soggy. Kids Mac a cheese was still partially frozen, they re-heated, but that tells you the quality of food they serve. Best thing was fried jalapeños and the ranch dressing. Would not go back and wish I had my $53.00 back. Worst meal of our trip. The place could use a clean up too, wish we'd left when I noticed the dirty windows upon walking in. Try at your own risk!

Called inquiring about reservations, told it's first come first serve and I should expect about a 15-20 min wait. Showed up, 3 adults w/ 3 kids at 5:30. Was told I was the 2nd name behind an 11 top, and should be able to be seated in 5 min due to a few tables just waiting to be cleared upstairs. 20 mins later I watched them clear a 6 top at the front door downstairs, then split it so they could seat two tables of 4 who had shown up after my family. After waiting another 10 min I asked about how long we were looking at, the woman at the door told me she would go upstairs and check on the table, she returned to inform me that I was now looking at probably 20 min before we could be seated. We left... I don't know if the elderly woman working as a hostess at the door is an owner, a wife, family friend, or simply a pity hire due to her old age, but she has no business working customer service at a restaurant. She lied to me and several other groups about wait times, and seating availability only to double down several times about how soon we will be seated. She obviously has zero idea about how food service works, customer service relations, or kitchen service/food service times. Side note: an obviously drunk group of six made their way in during my wait, the bartender had no issue serving them, fingers crossed they weren't driving home, but I doubt anyone is that lucky.
