As a traveler from out of state accompanied by two trained service dogs, I was shocked by the…read moretreatment we received at Winary Bistro. The manager incorrectly stated that service dogs must wear a vest to be recognized as service animals and demanded that we provide a "service animal certificate." We were then told that such certificates were not valid and that service animals must be registered in New Mexico before being allowed into the restaurant. None of these statements are consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Service dogs are not required to wear vests, carry certificates, or be registered with any state in order to access public accommodations. It is deeply concerning that a manager responsible for serving the public appears to have such a poor understanding of federal disability law. The experience was embarrassing, discriminatory, and completely unnecessary. I have traveled extensively throughout the United States with my service dogs and have never been treated this way. I strongly encourage management to educate staff on ADA requirements before another customer is subjected to the same treatment. Until then, I cannot recommend this establishment to anyone who relies on a service animal.

We were surprised to see we walked into the 6th best restaurant in New Mexico. Once the food came…read moreout, we started to understand why. Everything tasted as if it was freshly prepared in a close friend's home. The food was spiced well, the cheese on the bean was melted, and portions were great. The service was comforting too. The inside feels homey, bright colors, and cool from the strong AC. That is a bonus in the desert heat. The only downside is that chips and salsa were not included. I would have loved to try some other salsas with my chili colorado plate. Their salsa verde on the chimichanga plate was fantastic.

Inexpensive for what you get! Pretty good authentic Mexican food. We had beef enchilada (with red…read moresauce), crunchy tacos, street tacos and chicken enchiladas with green sauce. For dessert, we tried a few flavors of churro's, plain caramel and a Bavarian cream. They bring out chips and salsa ahead (think it's $3 for unlimited). Salsa's were ok and the chips were too thick for our liking. The street tacos were excellent! Definitely recommend. The crunchy tacos were great too. Super fresh. Service was great! Ambiance is fine.

We came in a Monday about 40 minutes before closing and it seemed like they were getting ready to end the night. No one else was in the restaurant though there were a couple people at the bar. We told them we just wanted something fast and would be in and out quickly and were seated quickly at a booth. Our waitress was amazing and still kind and energetic though it was the end of day. Free bread with garlic balsamic olive oil, bread was warm and they were very generous with the amount of dried garlic. Margherita pizza: we picked the most standard one and it was odd. Instead of cheese and fresh basil it had slices of tomato and dried basil. Crust was underdone and there was way too much cheese on it. Italian nachos: Crispy pasta chips, black olives, pepperoncinis, Roma tomatoes, jalapeños, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella and parmesan. We had it with chicken and it was interesting but drowning in Alfredo sauce.

I felt rushed with the young man waiter hovering over the table looking at me while I looked at the menu, we had just gotten there and gotten our teas. Seemed inpatient so I went with the same lunch special I had last time and forgot that for some crazy reason the pasta and sauce does not come with mozzarella cheese! Who wants pasta with no cheese? Yes I realized after the fact while not being pressured to order, the FINE print list of all things ADD Ons. I'm surprised the sauce was included. It would be a nice touch if the waiter or waitress would kindly ask if I want some baked cheese, I would say yes! He did ask about parmesan but thats not the same. Needless to say, I required a large takeout container and brought most of the pasta home in case I want to add cheese and bake in the oven. Honestly, next time i'll boil the pasta, make the sauce, and bake it with cheese myself. I'm disappointed , I thought we had found a nice little place to come eat while we're here since there is a lack of places besides the usual.

I believe it is an old home that is converted to a restaurant, the old wooden floors are sort of worn and a bit uneven which gives it lots of character. We were told to sit anywhere and a server soon came with menus and took drink orders. She was all dressed up for the holidays with cute little floppy reindeer antlers on her head and an apron with snowmen on it. My wife was in the mood for eggs as we had skipped breakfast so she had an omelet, hash browns and cinnamon raisin toast. It was perfect and she enjoyed every bite. I had the grilled chicken sandwich with a side of their sweet potato fries which were crispy and hot from the fryer. The place is cute inside, lots of cute things on the walls like old photos, signs and even a big Santa Clause for the holidays. What's more I used the men's room and it was super clean which always tells me how good a restaurant is and that they most likely keep a clean kitchen! We would dine here regularly if we lived here, the food was that good!
