Well. Sparkys was closed and we were hungry. But not hungry enough to eat the whole meal. Carne asada had gristle and the fries had an off taste. Too bad. read more

We enjoyed the patio w/ chips and salsa(hot). Ordered Pepper Pot Burrito & Chile Rellleno CheeseBurger...both were delicious. Just the right amount of heat service was prompt and friendly. read more

Oh my goodness G R E A T breakfast. Read all the reviews and so glad we stopped here on our way to Texas. Service was spectacular and loved talking with some of the locals. read more

I'm giving four stars for the chile relleno which I ordered after a disappointing breakfast burrito with Hatch green chiles titled as A La Mexicana Breakfast Burrito on the menu. Pepper Pot is called out a s a destination for people visiting Hatch or driving through New Mexico so I was a little bit disappointed. Maybe my expectations were too hyped. Perhaps my mistake on the burrito was not having it smothered. The great thing about the chile relleno is that it is not greasy or overstuffed. This may have been one of the best chile rellenos I've ever been served. It was lightly battered and carefully pan-fried. It was slender and filled with ooey gooey cheese. read more

This place was crazy busy! Probably because sparkys was closed. The poor waitress was short staffed as well but she really did her best to get food put and people in and out the door. I got the green chile stew it was flavorful and not that spicy! My husband got enchiladas which he liked but said wasn't the best he's ever had. Overall it was okay. With limited options in town this is a safe choice. read more

Stopped in today with some friends just before closing and was treated with a smile and friendly service. We ordered two Chile Relleno burger's, rolled enchilada combination plate and a chimichanga smothered in queso with rice and beans. everything looked and tasted great, and none of us have any complaints regarding the food or the service. Overall a very enjoyable experience. Closed at 2, so go early. read more

Stopped in for lunch recently. This was our 2nd visit to the Pepper Pot. Both visits found service extremely slow. The lunch crowd had the restaurant half full. Our 4 orders arrived 45 minutes after we placed them. Waitress did come by and check on us a half hour into the wait. When the food arrived I found both my rice and refried beans cooler than room temperature. Our lunches were fine, but really not worth price paid (each meal cost $11-$12) plus drink. When we had finished our meals we waited about 10 minutes for the check. I ended up tracking down waitress to pay. A forgettable $50 lunch for 4. Suggestion, drive another 30 miles down the road save some $ and eat at Si Senor Express. read more

Pepper Pot - Mexican Near Me - Hatch, New Mexico

We stopped here while driving from Santa Fe to Arizona and we're glad we did. The Mexican cuisine is very good and the portions are generous. The only thing I'd add is a liquor license so that we could have a beer with lunch. read more

Love it When I have a chance to detour off the interstate, standard hatch chili food - well worth the detour! If you order the green chili pork dish, tell them to make it slightly hotter; you won't be disappointed. The chili rellleno's are pretty decent - I've been know to eat 4 of them for lunch. Excellent service but gets a bit crowded when the tourista stupido's invade this quiet hamlet. Watch the speed traps heading out of town towards Deming read more

After chasing down two listings in Hatch that turned out to be out of business, we decided to try an establishment that had proven staying power. Pepper Pot is breakfast and lunch only -- they close at 3:00, though they shut down at 1:45 when we were there. Drinks came in cans. My wife had her favorite, chiles relleno. Unlike everyplace else she's eaten it, the Pepper Pot didn't cover them in green sauce. She declared them excellent (though she did steal some of my green sauce). I had the Pepper Pot Burrito. Their red sauce was excellent; I'm not a fan of green sauce as a personal preference, but theirs was palatable enough. The marinated meat chunks were very tasty indeed. We knocked off a star for cleanliness. There were tables with dirty dishes on them when we arrived, which still hadn't been touched by the time we left an hour later. Also, the checkout procedure was... unique, but I figured it out by observation. The restaurant deserves its longevity for its menu. We'd go back. read more

We stopped here on our way back from Santa Fe and the place was filthy dirty, the cook was literally picking his nose while preparing the food and we pointed out two cockroaches. We ordered meat burritos and they were awful. In fact one of the servers told us she is leaving the restaurant because of the filth. STAY AWAY FROM HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET SICK! read more

I can't attest to the food because we sat for over 40 minutes, and it never came decided to leave. When we left, they were just bringing out our food, but we did not stay. The service was terrible. No apologies. No checking in with us, and when we asked if they were short-handed, they said there were 3 cooks there that day. We drove to Las Cruces and went to LA Nueva Casita. They were super nice and our food was out within 20 minutes. read more

Excellent food and service. The downside is that this place does get a a little crowded and it may be hard to find a table. People don't line up for bad food. read more

I put a picture of the entrance because it is all I saw of this establishment besides the very rude waitstaff. I waited out on the patio with 2 pups to see if they had availability serve us. My partner disappears for about 15 mins while he was ignored in hallway. Another party comes in and is seated even though they arrived after. ?? Then he asks if we are supposed to seat ourselves and the waitress tells him to go sit on patio and MAYBE someone will come out. So...we are supposed to sit out there and wait in the hope that someone MIGHT bring us food after waiting already for 15 mins in hall? I asked the waitress the reason for this treatment and she replied that they "were slammed" and then walked away while I was talking to her. She told me the manager wasn't there either (which probably wasn't true). But if the owner reads this, you should staff your restaurant better or fire your terrible employees. This was the only low point on our road trip. read more

Yesterday we headed to Hatch ... talking all the way ( and back ). There we went to what was suppose to be a good restaurant, not the one we've been to several times in the past. The service was awful! The food was slightly warm, and the waitress never brought items requested ... in fact, never saw her again. Barb went and talked to the manager and they comped her meal, Charlie did the same thing and the manager just gave him lip. We left a 4¢ TIP. Some other people at a table next to ours' got up and left before their food arrived, ours' came out before theirs'. We were on the patio, Barb caught several families headed in and told them of our BAD experience -- they were smart enough to turn around. Never again will we go there, they even couldn't handle lunch service, and they weren't all that busy, either inside or out. read more

If you're anywhere near Hatch, NM, stop in! They have incredible food, and the salsa is to die for. I had a cheese enchilada with red sauce, and my husband had the Pepper Pot burrito, which has both red and green chile. I'm not sure which i like better, the red or green! Both are amazing! We bought two kars of salsa to take with us. read more

Great little spot in Hatch along the I-25 corridor. Lots of different dishes incorporating hatch green Chile and local ingredients with great customer service and high quality food. Would recommend to anyone in between las cruces and ABQ! read more

The service was so so slow. However, our food was very good! The enchiladas, tacos, stuffed sopapillas were all good.

Great food good service highly recommended passing through the area and just randomly picked this place good decision

Small unassuming restaurant but the patio was appealing and luring. The service was a bit slow but we did arrive during lunch time so no worries. The food was very good and we enjoyed supporting a local family restaurant. We would return if ever in area again read more

The green chili enchiladas were absolutely amazing and so flavorful! The service was nice! Cute little ambiance!

Delicious food. Enjoyed a Christmas chili pot burrito and both flavors were excellent. Service was good and nice ambiance. Huge portions.

I stop here EVERY time I pass through Hatch, delicious. From Tucson so know great Mexican food.

We had late breakfast here. The servings are generous, and the food very well-prepared using quality ingredients. Good coffee. The pleasant front patio is shaded and surrounded by gardens. Fair warning: neither the red or green sauce is gluten free, but fresh chopped red & green chile was a good substitute. This is our 2nd or 3rd stop here, and we'll definitely return. read more

Stopped here on our way home to California. It was during Covid-19 and we could only get food to go. The place was decorated so cute and the food was delicious! We will definitely be coming back when were in town. read more

Super New Mexican fare with wonderful table service surrounded by the real (and friendly) who's who of Hatch NM farmers and business people. Both red and green sauces are very good - hazard to pick so I go Christmas style. Next time I go I will take a few pictures. read more

Pepper Pot - Pepper Pot Burrito. Outstanding! Very spicy... - Mexican Near Me - Hatch, New Mexico

Wow. This place needs to be shut down by the health department. It is beyond filthy. I don't think the carpet has ever been cleaned. The food was barely edible. I think the meat in the red chili was rancid and the service was terrible. I can still taste the nasty coffee. I think it was made with toilet water. read more

Excellent Hatch green and red chile sauces with some pretty good food hiding underneath lol. Enormous portions for laughably little, my combo plate with a taco, a chile relleno, two enchiladas and the usual rice & beans was Only $9. House made chips are good but I wasn't a fan of their fresh red salsa, not enuf line, cilantro etc. Menu is stupidly long. When you do Mex food so well, Pepper Pot, why bother with pastrami?? Frustratingly it's only open breakfast and lunch, and sells no beer. And the huevos rancheros are only on the breakfast menu, argh! Vegetarian rating: 3 stars for the veggie refried beans (I checked), cheese enchiladas and more. And the sauces! Cash only, but that isn't a problem for food this cheap. read more

I had the chiles rellenos Christmas style with rice and beans. Absolutely delicious and an excellent example of how to use Hatch chiles.

Best chile relleno burrito of my life. All the details of were executed just right. -The quick grill on the outside of the wrapped tortilla to give it a little bit of love. -where some places prep their rellenos at an earlier time and then re-heat, this pepper still had an al dente integrity that tasted extra fresh. -the pepper filled the entire burrito -even though the only chile relleno to be found on the menu was offered as a "plate," my server was able to modify it as a burrito so I could keep on moving with my road trip. -no need for added salsa. read more

I can't rate the food because we never got any. We were waited on by an older lady who did not write down our order and went directly from our table to cash out a customer. At the time I wondered if she would remember to put in our order. After the table on each side of us (who had been seated after us) received their food, I stopped another waitress and explained what was going on. She went to the older lady, who looked over at our table and walked the other direction. At that point, we got up and approached the older lady and explained that we were leaving as it was evident she had never put our order in to the kitchen. She said "sorry ma'am" and then as we were walking away she started laughing. We've eaten there many times when traveling through the area and have never had a problem. But, we have never been waited on by the older lady before either. A sad situation. read more

Average place, green chili was good but placed on top of factory tortillas, not much seemed homemade.

Whenever we go through Hatch this is the only place we eat. Delicious authentic food, friendly service and just an all around good vibe.

I had the enchiladas with the green sauce. They were delicious. My husband had the Carne Asada tacos and he really enjoyed those.

We were looking for a breakfast restaurant and this place exceeded our expectations, food was delicious, Sara our sever was helpful and recommended the right dish for each one of us. The ambiance was great! read more

The Green Chile Cheeseburger. That's all you need to order here. It's one of the best burgers I've ever had. It's spicy, juicy, tender, full of flavor and huge. We stopped here randomly on our way through Hatch, they had outdoor seating and we had our dog, so it worked out perfectly. We stopped here on a Sunday afternoon - it was busy but there was no wait for a table. Service was fast and the prices were very reasonable. The burger was outstanding. Both my wife and I remarked that it might be the best burger we'd ever had. Green chiles were hot - I have a high tolerance for spice - but still fine for people with less experience. Great for families and children, plenty of indoor seating as well. Definitely worth a stop of you're driving anywhere close. And don't forget to stop in and get your own green chiles to take back with you! read more
