    On our way out to La Madera we stopped to grab breakfast at this lil' gem. You walk in and there are few tables but are greeted with a friendly hello from both patrons and owner. We ordered our breakfast and just carried on conversation with locals and those passing through. The food was amazing! Cooked to order and very good. We will have to make a stop again, worth the drive!

    After a visit to Ojo Caliente we stopped by one of the few restaurants in town. I ordered the pork tamales with green chilies. You could tell it was homemade. Fresh and delicious. After lunch I was tempted to try one of their homemade desserts- chocolate cake or apple or cherry pie but couldn't quite get there. The tamales were so filling. Besides myself there were only locals eating there so I figured maybe I found a hidden gem. The decor reminded me of being in an episode of American pickers. Lots of interesting antiques. If you are in the area, do stop by.

    I don't think "fancy" will ever be the word to describe this place... but that's A Okay with me. Everything about this little cafe made me think of being a kid, back home in Alabama, at my grandparents house. The smell - kind of like antique furniture, plus home cooked food, plus fresh brewed coffee, plus whatever they use to clean with. The decor -random animal heads on the wall, plants on every window sill, antique everything. The food - simple, fresh, homemade, delicious. Worth the stop.

    Huevos Rancheros...excellent!

    If your at Ojo Caliente leave the resort and take a short walk to Mesa Vista Cafe, it is worth it. If your looking for better food and a welcoming atmosphere then the Cafe is your best bet! We went for breakfast and the portion sizes were huge and full of traditional New Mexican flavor. Plus they provide you with a bottomless cup of coffee!! Please support your local businesses and leave the spa for a wonderful breakfast or lunch at The Mesa Vista Cafe!

    Friendly, small family cafe & yummy red chili enchilada plates! Ate here over 10 years ago & was so excited it was still here as we were coming back from vacation! Plan your lunch stop here!

    Breakfast burrito smothered in green Chile.

    What a great find in northern New Mexico. We were at ojo Caliente for the weekend and decided to come here for breakfast. Burrito with green chili... amazing. Frito pie and enchilada's were amazing. Great spot and great service. Highly recommend.

    Awesome service and great Mexican American Vegetarian and Non Vegetarian Dishes. Sign says it opens at 7am but they told us 8:00. The service is excellent-there is a really good vibe in there. The Huevos Rancheros are HOTT and delicious. The Bison burgers with Green Chili might knock your socks off-it varies, it was super hot one day and tolerable the next. Hot pie right out of the oven topped with ice cream tops off the meal. This is the place to eat at when you visit Ojo Caliente Spa-prices are low but the food is wonderful. Enjoy

    Service was painful. Worst tacos I've ever had ever. Unless you're out of choices I recommend passing on this place.

    Don't know what happened but had a very unpleasant experience at The Artesian Restaurant…read more The food tasted great! From the poblano chile appetizer, the blue corn muffins, and my entree of the tilapia. I still wonder if it was worth the price, given how questionable the service was. I appreciated the server letting us know what ran out of the menu. However when our food came out, we were told by the server, "we ran out of rice and beans for the fajitas so here's sweet mashed potatoes." Then walked away. Never told beforehand of the rice and beans running out. Never given an alternative option of sides. I can assure you, the sweet potatoes did not pair well with the fajitas... And come closer to the meal ending, the server literally started picking up plates that still was in front of people with food on it. We weren't offered boxes, or asked if we were done. We were absolutely astonished about the lack of communication. In the end, we were given a refund for the fajitas...after WE addressed the issues of receiving food we did not order AND the food being taken away prematurely . It's like the self awareness of the mistakes or basic communication was not there tonight. Only thing saving these place from a one star rating was the taste of the food and they actually gave us a refund. I will probably not go here again.

    Still thinking about that cake. I wonder if the cake thinks of me too. Maybe I'll reach back out…read moreand text "u up?" Lamb and short rib were really good too but I can't get my mind off that cake. 5 stars
