Prescilliano's food is the best! I heard he closed because his waitress quit and he can't find help. We are through here once or twice a year to visit family. I really wish he would find a good waitress and open back up. read more

This is an excellent find in Cuba, NM. We were traveling through in our way to northern NM, it was a Sunday and our first pick was closed. I read the prior reviews and the Carve Adovado review perked my interest. It lived up to that review! Excellent, spicy, tender, just the right sauce consistency! I can't wait to travel through again. Service was a bit slow, but many restaurants are suffering from that in NM due to COVID restrictions. It ended up being a pleasant diversion from travels and a tasty meal, too! read more

Great Service from one waitress featuring just enough "sass" and a terrific sense of humor. We really enjoyed our meals here, and finished the breakfast off with a piece of chocolate cake plus vanilla ice cream! Terrific spot ... worth every penny. We'll find a way to come back, when we're anywhere near this place... Locals and tourists alike all chatting about their weekend activities etc. Quality comfort food you'll enjoy ... plus it's great to support a local business in a remote (ish) area of Northern NM. read more

Hadn't eaten there in a year used to be a good place for value and Mexican food. Ordered enchilada plate of green chili with meat enormous plate 90% gelatinous, white and yellow cheese with onions cooked had to search. With my fork to find the two enchiladas and any meat 90% gelatin cheeses for $14 I could not eat half of the food. It was so bad. But the nice waitress was wonderful Nice and responsive had to do all the table busing and waiting on four tables at the same time the only waitress. Be aware of the two enchilada cheese plate for $14 foodterrible. read more

We ate here for lunch one day while passing through. We got there late for lunch, so the place was pretty empty when we arrived, though a few people came in later. We got some chips and salsa when seated, and I ordered a chimichanga, which was good. They also gave us some sopapillas later on, which were also good, though unfortunately, we either didnt notice them or forgot about them until we were too full to eat them. Regardless, we liked this place. I would definitely eat here again, and would be happy to try some of the other things on the menu. BTW, they don't just have Mexican food; my wife got a burger. read more

Adorable small town diner. Waitress reminds me of the idillic Mexican mom. So sweet, won't stop moving, adorable! Food is nummy! Just enough spice, nice kick especially to the green sauce. Plates are overflowing, everything looks fresh. Fast service. Huge sopapillas. This was a good decision! read more

New Mexico, land of Enchanted food, and Presciliano's doesn't disappoint. Delicious food, clean restaurant and friendly folks. We saw many locals picking up take out while were there, which always says a lot. We had the Mexican Steak, the green chili sauce was so good and spicy as well read more

Prescilliano's Cafe - Mexican Steak with green chili sauce - Tex-Mex Near Me - Cuba, New Mexico

It's true, the restaurant is understaffed and because they didn't have a dishwasher they served our meals in Styrofoam containers. However, our meals were amazing. I had the blue corn enchiladas with green chili and my partner had the agabado. The waitress did a fabulous job considering she was the only one waiting tables. read more

This place is one of the few on the drive between Albuquerque and Durango. Don't think it is a good place to stop, even if you are starving. Eat a snack or go across the street and buy a bag of chips. If you do eat here make sure during the check out process you watch the slide of hands and get an itemized receipt. We got the total and they could not explain how they got there. The tax was just added on as a flat rate. I believe the waitress added to the check to get a tip at her own rate. read more

We stopped by hoping for some authentic red and green chili before leaving New Mexico on our cross country drive, and Precilliano's did not disappoint! We ordered the Gorditos with beef and the Chicharron & Bean Burritos. Delicious! And the fresh sopapillas with honey? Yum. read more

Great little place to eat especially after camping for a weekend at Chaco. Very positive experience.

Stopped for lunch on the return drive from Bloomfield. Just pulled in! The lady seemed to be working most arena's for lunch! They were reasonably busy! Told us food would be served in to go containers, because she didn't have a dishwasher! The Burger was great! Impressed! Service was spot on and pleasant! Next trip up north it'll be a lunch spot! read more

Local favorite, hidden gem, satisfying meal after driving for several hours through a food desert. Definitely try the enchiladas made with blue corn tortillas and green sauce. Service is a bit slow but worth the wait. read more

Can't get much better. Lots of tender carne adovada. Nearly the best I've ever had. The beans were perfect and rice flavorful. The staff was friendly and so attentive! Excellent meal! read more

This little cafe has the best stuffed sopaipilla with green chile I've had in years. My husband had the combo plate and he said it was delicious. It will be a definite stop on the trip between Albuquerque and Bloomfield from now on. read more

Stopped in 30 minutes ago with my wife while driving towards Albuquerque. Parking lot was full. Walked in to find one woman waiting all the tables. About half the tables were full. One large party had food and the rest didn't even have menus. The waitress/hostess ignored my wife and I and made a point to seat the people behind us first. 20 minutes later, that group still did not even have their menu. Someone else's baby had clearly pooped in her diaper and the restaurant smelled pretty bad. We were never once acknowledged by the waitress, most of the other patrons seemed content to sit in silence waiting for their menus. This place has fantastic reviews so maybe today was an anomaly. The food at the one table did look good. This was just such a shockingly bad experience that I felt I needed to make a Yelp account. read more

Prescilliano's Cafe - We sat at the empty booth and were ignored for 20 minutes before leaving. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Cuba, New Mexico

This place is a 3.5 star restaurant. Given the location and options, I leaned towards the higher side. The waitresses aren't overly outgoing, but the food was fast and pretty good. They give the smallest bowl of chips for a table (think small salad bowl for 1 person) and the menu says a refill os $6.50. That's nuts! I'd never pay $6.50 for a small bowl of chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant. Either way, our food came so fast, that we didn't need another bowl. And the portions for our meals were very generous, so we were definitely full when we left. read more

We had a New Mexican style lunch in this cute restaurant in Cuba, NM! Great food, great service!!!

Great little town gem. Beans in the combo plate were delicious!! Green Chile sauce on enchiladas had a kick, which my husband loved. Glad we stopped on our road trip. read more

They have open store hours posted till 730 and I was refused service at 7 PM. Not a good way to run a business and I travel through here quite frequently never again. read more

We are on our way from Albuquerque to Telluride. Family of seven. We left Albuquerque thinking we should have eaten lunch but were hoping we could make it to the next big town to get a good and healthy meal for the children. We thought we would roll the dice and try this restaurant and we are glad we did. The people were extremely nice that ran this place. The burritos, grilled cheese sandwiches, french fries and jalapeño poppers, etc. were absolutely delicious. To top it all off the bathrooms as well as the restaurant were immaculate. We got lucky and encourage you to do the same. read more

This place is awesome, the chile is always delicious, great staff great atmosphere, great time always

This place looked like the best in town. Stopped after a long drive. They are not tourist friendly and definitely not service dog friendly, Not even on the patio. Wish I could write about the food but had to move on.... read more

We stopped by for a quick lunch on our way through town after seeing the great reviews on Yelp. The food was excellent, as was the service. We were greeted warmly upon our arrival, with no wait. Our order was taken promptly and cooked by the owner, himself. I got the nachos supreme, which was way more than I could eat by myself. We all enjoyed our meals, which included a big bowl filled with homemade sopapillas. They were fantastic and the honey they were served with was the real deal. Don't hesitate to stop by and enjoy a meal at Prescilliano's. The building exterior was nothing to brag about, but the food and the service was. I sure wish we lived closer! read more

The huevos rancheros were good. Service was fine. Everything was as you would expect. Generic but reliable for a good price.

Great place! Stopped for a quick lunch going through town - on our way to Texas. Ordered the tacos - delicious. But the fry bread was the best part of the meal! Very pleasant wait staff! Highly recommend! read more

We were traveling from Durango to Albuquerque and needed a Mexican food fix. Found it at Prescilliano's Cafe! Very cordial staff, very delicious food. ESPECIALLY the sopaipillas. Wanted to order more but was so stuffed from my combo platter that I had to refrain. My husband enjoyed the adovada platter. Someone at the cafe loves flowers because the restaurant was bedecked with vases full of faux flowers....artfully arranged. Certainly will return to Prescilliano's whenever I happen to be in that area. (But from Atlanta area) read more

Called in an order on our way to Albuquerque in the morning, for breakfast burritos. Ready in 10 minutes, fresh ingredients, perfect ratio of potatoes, cheese, meat and Chile. Tasty for sure! Would stop again. Thank you. read more

Prescilliano's Cafe - these guys blow Blakes away with their handheld breakfast burritos!! Generous bacon in my book! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Cuba, New Mexico

This restaurant is located just before you leave Cuba, NM we stopped by to have breakfast and were served plenty of food. The restaurant is small and full of locals. The menu is small and if you ask for them to explain or adjust the order you'll run into some blank stares. The restaurant itself is cute and old fashioned. read more

Stopped here for breakfast on our way to Chaco Canyon. Great huevos rancheros with green chili. The hash browns made this dish. Their green chili does have pork in it. The French toast needed more of a soak. Great sausage patties, bacon tasted strange. They offer breakfast burritos smothered in chili or hand held. The burritos are huge! Also on offer: pancakes, biscuits and gravy, egg sandwiches. Friendly service and clean bathrooms. A solid choice for breakfast. read more

Small town cafes are usually hit and miss. We found this one to be a hit. Loved the food. Generous servings. Hot sopapillas with honey were heavenly. Had a relaxing lunch in a clean space. The staff was friendly and helpful and the prices were perfect. read more

Good diner-y kind of spot with tasty New Mexican food. Large portions. No alcohol, though, so we had to get our drink on after with the help of the gas station down the street. read more

Today January 31, 2016, our waitress brought out a very dirty glass with my soda in it and when I asked for another cup she simply says "Well I didn't notice the cup but I am going to charge you for another drink" and the food wasn't very good. It's been like this the last 2 times we have eaten here, the waitresses are very rude! I was hoping it would get better so we gave a few months to come back but after today we are never coming back! We are very disappointed. read more

Prescilliano's Cafe - Prescilianos Restaurant in Cuba NM. January 31, 2016. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Cuba, New Mexico

This is probably one of my favorite restaurants in town. Despite the very strong sewage smell. Our waitress was very very nice and welcoming, even if she was the only server for awhile she did great. The food is great but the only thing is charging for refills on soda. read more

Swung through Cuba on my way to Santa Fe and stopped in for dinner. Ordered the Menudo as it is my gauge for how good a Mexican restaurant can be. Presciliano's has THE BEST menudo I ever ate -- and almost no posole in it. I was amazed. This place rocks. Everyone else in my party was 100% satisfied including the brat in the family who was having an attitude attack before we walked in. read more

First, go to Cuba, NM. It is a lovely little town. Then, eat here. Good, flavorful breakfast burritos and adobada plate. Yum.

Stopped here after camping and hiking in Chaco. This place was BOMB! Loved every bite. The sopapilla that they served with my meal was the perfect way to end the meal. If I ever find myself in the area again I will definitely stop again. read more
