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.

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.

Today my order had nasty DARK old avacodos. Not only did they still proceed to ignore the fact they rolled it with old expired food grade avocados, they continued to make all three of our sushi plates with the moldy avocados. If you order from here, I encourage you to ALWAYS check your food before leaving. The quality for these prices are out of control.
