If I were to have any complaints, I would say that the beer was not as cold as I would have liked it to be. This is a big brewery that makes their own beer and has comfortable seating and many interesting displays on the walls that are entertaining to look at. This was the perfect place to end our days of traveling while we were in NM. I would recommend coming here.

Highly recommend the pozole which was savory and tasted like pozole should. The green chile lasagna is a nice NM take. Both dishes have a bit of spice but pleasant not overwhelming. Had the stout to drink which was good. I will likely return to 3 Rivers.

Doña María has earned a permanent spot on our list of must-visit restaurants every time we're back in town. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Karen took incredible care of us and our family. Even though we were a fairly needy group, she was consistently professional, friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Her positive attitude made an already great dining experience even more memorable. I can't say enough how amazing she was! From the breakfast burritos to dinner, everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The homemade tortillas were absolutely outstanding and complemented every meal perfectly. The portions were generous, and every dish reminded us why we love coming back home. The restaurant has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. It's the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy a great meal, and feel right at home. Overall, between the incredible food, exceptional service, and inviting atmosphere, Doña María has become one of our go-to spots whenever we're in Farmington. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic New Mexican food and genuine hospitality. We can't wait to come back on our next visit!

My family and I had eaten here last week, I felt some racism towards us I hate to even say. Mind you not, we were the only Natives in here at the time. They got our drinks out quickly, but took about 20 minutes to get our order and 45 minutes to even serve us, and the food was cold! I noticed they were getting everyones order out much quickly and attended to them, they didn't even ask us if we were doing okay or anything. Mind you not it was not even that busy. I will not be bringing my business here again, its rather disappointing. It was also my first prejudice interaction in this town and I have lived here for 5 years. read more

I ordered the chicken quesadillas (came with 8 pieces). Other half ordered the Tacos Ranchero, which came with refried beans and rice. These portions were huge. I'm not a huge eater and I was only able to eat 3 pieces of quesadillas. Hubby had only 2 tacos. We had to take our food back to the hotel bc the portions were huge. The big came out to almost $50.
