We haven't been to Rutilio in a while. They remodeled the main dining area and it looks great. They have a cool counter facing the kitchen. Still have the great murals on the walls decorated in old Southwest. They are only open 7-2pm most days and they are often very busy. The menu is classic and New Mexican breakfast and lunch. It was really fun to see the changes. The food was good and served hot. I loved the homemade sausage with my eggs. They added a nice spice with scrambled eggs. The green chili was very good. It had a lot of flavor and a bite. I had to use it sparingly but it worked well with the eggs and papitas. My hubby had the waffle combo. The waffle was crispy on the outside and soft inside... just right. You could taste the hint of vanilla in the batter. It was great. If you want a classic or southwest breakfast or lunch, head to Rutilios. Service was also very friendly and attentive. Thank you Emily read more

Food is excellent if u like Mexican cuisine. Service is OK. I usually frequent the smaller restaurant in Belen as its closer to home. However, I am not sure the squeeze bottle of honey on the table is genuine honey...I believe it is corn syrup or some thing equivalent..as the price of honey is $$. Love the Buenos rancheros. read more

Just a huge serving of CFS and the side off eggs and hash browns are always great. CFS was crispy in the outside and tender in the middle. My only complaint if any is that they didn't really smother it with green chile like I asked, it barely had any. But other than that I had a great meal this morning that lasted me all day lol. And this is some of the best guacamole anywhere I've been. We always order it. Two thumbs up from me! read more

Had lunch last Thursday. Great New Mexico cuisine, big portions, excellent service. Overall great job. Enjoyed the food I will be back. Thanks read more

I came in for lunch today right around noon. I ordered the #2 which consists of a cheese enchilada, chile relleno and ground beef taco. The relleno and enchilada were ok, but the taco was not good at all. In fact the ground beef tasted rotten. I'm sure it was expired or close to it. It costs extra for a tortilla or sopapilla which kinda sucks as well. The service wasn't bad and they weren't really busy. I've had breakfast here in the past and it was really good. But then again, I didn't have ground beef with it. So what I thought was gonna be a tasty lunch, instead left me with a bad taste in my mouth both literally and figuratively. It was a huge swing and a miss on Rutilio's part. I suggest you ask to sample the ground beef before ordering any menu item with it. Honestly, it was that bad. read more

With about 20 of us here, they got us seated quickly and drinks out with no issues. Place is clean and very cool vibe! Staff is friendly! Anna's attentive. Food is on point and very good! For the size party we had and the place was already busy,, they did a phenomenal job! Great service and great food!! We'll be back! read more

Service is great! Red and green chili are wonderful. Large portions! Lovely diner feel.

This place is more of a homestyle cooking. Always fresh and busy. Can use some updating in their restaurant with seating and decor, but I guess that's what gives the ambience of homestyle. Wait staff are super friendly. Never had a problem with my food orders or the service. read more

My wife and I tried this place on Sunday. The food was prompt and delicious. My only needs improvement was the server. She was an older lady and never returned after we got out food. This meant no coffee or tea refills. So if you like good food but don't drink much this may be your place lol read more

I had the Chicken Fried Steak Breakfast. I seen pictures of it and had to see for myself on how big it is. It's humongous!! Took up the whole plate. Eggs were on spot (over medium)and the hash browns were good. Now for a extra $2.50 you can "Boss It" which is green chile and cheese with your white gravy. My waitress was phenomenal. Very Courteous she was. As for Ambiance,it was lively,people were talking,food was being distributed to customers,cooks were busy. read more

The food here is always amazing. While I normally go for the huevos rancheros, today I chose the chicken fried steak (boss style). HUGE serving and everything was delicious as usual. We also got the two egg plate with chorizo. The staff is extremely friendly and even the manager often checks in. The restaurant is always kept clean and orderly. Our breakfast go to! read more

I drove to Los Linas to have lunch with a friend. Thank you Yelpers for your reviews of Rutilio's. We got there after 1pm and they close at 2 but we never felt rushed. Briana was our server and she was amazing. We wanted salsa and chips. Nope. They were out. Briana suggested the guacamole and chips. It was really good with chunks of avocado like I like it. I got the #2 combo and paid a little extra for a beef enchilada. Everything was amazing. The beans. Rice. The relleno was soooo good. Beef taco with homemade shell. Yes please. And the sopa's were fluffy and yummy. Two thumbs way up. read more

Went to breakfast this morning and we are still rather new to this area. We saw Rutilio's and decided, why not. We walked in and it was bigger than we thought and the hostess's were very nice and sat us right away. If you love Dr. Pepper this is the place for you, they had displays of very old Dr. Pepper postings and it was cute. Our waitress was great and made some awesome suggestions and she was right. The food was amazing. read more

Taking a Sunday ride with a group of friends and came across this restaurant. It was busy when we got here and had about a 30 min wait. That's a good sign. Got us in and seated. Drinks came quickly and were refilled promptly. The menu had a a decent selection to chose from. Veggie omelet with hash browns and the spinach omelet ordered our food was good, but a little skimpy on the fillings. But it was typical NM portions. One of our group ordered the chicken fried steak. It was enough to feed 2-3 people and was reported to be delicious. So good food, good service and you leave hungry it's your own fault. Definitely a good stop and deserves another stop read more

Our most favorite restaurant, they cook the best New Mexico style food by far. Diner style seating and feel. The greatest thing about this place is the people that work there. Friendly fun and attentive. read more

Food is good, unfortunately the put flour in all of there chili. No gluten free option. Service was good as well.

The food was good. The service excellent! The prices were pre-Covid! At least some people are being respectful by not pushing inflation! Thank you for a great first of many meals with you. read more

We always want to find a locally owned diner for breakfast and Rutilio's looked like the place. What are we looking for? Good food, good service, and a clean restaurant (and bathrooms, if I'm being honest!). Rutilio's met our expectations and more. Great food: huevos rancheros from the senior menu for me - a hearty portion with flavorful refried beans and a just right spicy green sauce for the eggs; blue corn breakfast enchiladas for my husband with perfectly cooked over-medium eggs and delicious cheese enchiladas. Excellent service - quick, pleasant, and on top of coffee refills plus tablets for order-taking! Everything was clean - showing pride of ownership I'm believing. I hope you give them a try and have a similar experience! read more

My favorite restaurant in Los Lunas! Always received excellent dishes and service very pleasant and efficient. Took my Brother and sister in-law while they were here from California. They really enjoyed the food!! read more

What can I say, it had been 9 weeks (or so since I had dined inside a restaurant). We had dined on patios, but you don't get that same experience. So as soon as the restaurants opened we had to go out to eat! We took a little road trip to pick up some honey and decided to try Rutilio's. Let me say, this was the best decision ever! We pulled up and had to wait a little bit since the restaurants are only allowed to operate at 25%, but the wait wasn't too bad. Once we were called in, we were taken in, and sat down. That's when the goodness began! We were waited on by a phenomenal waitress! She was so kind and literally was the best waitress we ever had! She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely valued you as a customer! She was definitely a 10 out of 10! Waitstaff can make or break a dining experience, and she definitely made this a memorable and positive experience for us! On top of having an outstanding waitress, the food was super delicious! The tamale was so good! I had been dying to eat one for months! The taco, enchiladas, chile, and salsa made our day! Honestly, if you ever take a road trip to Los Lunas, this is the place to try! You won't be disappointed! Make sure and order chicharrones as an app! You won't be let down! They can even make them extra crispy!!!!! read more

OUTSTANDING FOOD and AWESOME customer service! Today we ordered breakfast burritos and while on the phone, the woman Briana suggested a bowl of their green Chile stew! Omg! At 11:00 am! I took a chance! Everyone wants to say that suggesting a special doesn't work but I'm here to say: be a great server! Offer a suggestion or the special of the day! Save the customer a few dollars to earn their trust! Entice the customer with something new! Picked up our order and the burritos were HUGE! Compliments to the chef! They tasted so good! Oh and that suggested bowl of green chile stew? It was perfect and worth every penny spent! Thanks, Briana for the suggestion! I wish more servers took that initiative the way you did today! Definitely will go back! Definitely! read more

Los Lunas location: My favorite Mexican food stop since moving here from El Paso. The Serrano sauce is a must if you like it hot. The staff is always courteous and gets special orders spot on. Do yourself a favor and make this your next stop. You'll find it a regular stop in the future. read more

Always good food. Sometimes it takes a little bit when they are busy. But it's worth the wait

Best chicken friend steak and eggs in Valencia County! Definitely wish their hours were longer. I would eat here more often!

It's a great place to get your belly's full. Prices are really low. Employees are very friendly. I always eat their chicken fried steak and eat more!!! Never disappointed. We've taken family and friends there they all love it !!! 10 star rating !!! Thank you for always making it a great place to eat at !!! read more

I would give them 10 stars if possible. They treat you like family and the food is phenomenal. Mexican food, breakfast, etc is fantastic. They have a really good green chile cheeseburgeras well. We love all the wait staff. This is one of the best restaurants in the state. It's not fashionable or fancy. It's farmers families seniors etc. The food the staff. This is what everyone is looking for when it comes to eating out. It's like home. Thank You Everyone at Rutillo's. When we leave we've had good food with good people. BTW I have no ties or affiliation with this establishment. read more

You can't go wrong at Rutilios'! The food and service is amazing! We had a group of six and everyone shared the same opinion... Perfection! I ordered the #2 combo and my husband ordered the #3 combo, which both came with three items. Each had one taco and one enchilada. We decided on different combos so we could try the beef tamale and a chili relleno. EVERYTHING WAS SO DELICIOUS!! The best part of our experience was how friendly and verbal the staff was. It felt like we stopped to have lunch with our favorite. Hands down the best experience we've had in years. MY husband is still going on about it. I'm sure we'll be taking the 45 min drive very soon. Job well done by all! read more

Best food at great prices!!!!! I go there often for breakfast and lunch mainly! The chili is the best in the state!

The food service and everything was great. We recommended to anybody that likes good food and great service.

This food was 10/10 delicious! Had carne adobada. The waitress was friendly, fast, and made our experience so much better. I wish I remembered her name but she was there Saturday morning! Amazing staff and overall good atmosphere. Highly recommend 10/10 read more

We arrived at noon and were seated at 1:30pm! While we were waiting with our pager, they started closing the doors(apparently, it was close to closing time), but they almost locked us out! In the meantime, we went inside to wait further to be seated. While waiting, I witnessed an elderly gentleman with a walker standing in the hall area, as there was really no other place for him to stand. A server came flying out of the kitchen when she rudely told him to move out of their way so they could serve food! I was appalled. Absolutely disrespectful. The food was decent, nothing to write home about, and our waitress was friendly and prompt. But due to the disrespectful server, we will not go back. Too bad, because I love supporting small businesses. read more

Yumminess! Incredibly quick on the day we went... and they were busy! Complimentary chips and salsa after 11. Their salsa was very good! My kiddos loved their kid's meals read more
