Inexpensive for what you get! Pretty good authentic Mexican food. We had beef enchilada (with red…read moresauce), crunchy tacos, street tacos and chicken enchiladas with green sauce. For dessert, we tried a few flavors of churro's, plain caramel and a Bavarian cream. They bring out chips and salsa ahead (think it's $3 for unlimited). Salsa's were ok and the chips were too thick for our liking. The street tacos were excellent! Definitely recommend. The crunchy tacos were great too. Super fresh. Service was great! Ambiance is fine.

The waitress was kind and answered my questions about the menu. In my opinion, a clear indicator of a good restaurant is the water...their water was delicious! The food was good too, though the rice/bean portions seemed a little small but perhaps because I got it to go. They have a big menu and lots of variety. I would like to return to enjoy a meal with the full dine in experience.

Now, I'm a big fan of Waffle House, and I thought that this restaurant would be a cheap(er) imitation of Waffle House, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was very crowded when I arrived and there were many customers who were waiting to be seated. Luckily, I found a spot at the bar so I didn't have to wait long. I had the 2 Egg Plate breakfast. The hashbrowns were nice and crispy, and the eggs were cooked just as I like them. Despite the restaurant being very busy, the waitress provided excellent service, showing remarkable patience and attentiveness to all patrons. She ensured every customer was satisfied with their food and kept all coffee cups filled. I also noticed that the staff exhibited outstanding teamwork and communication, creating an unexpectedly positive and efficient atmosphere.

A big room with a bar awkwardly plopped down in the middle with tables spread around the room. Bar is way too garish with string lights blaring in your face. I'm normally a bar sitter but not here. Low volume country music playing what sounded like religious songs. Three TVs all playing video of the same music. Beer: Dirty Blonde is OK, smooth but not the best. New England IPA is much better. Food: A bit of a disappointment because I initially checked out the menu online only to find I had actually looked at the menu for their sister pub in Las Cruces which has way better food options. Got the taco plate - OK but not what I expected given we were in New Mexico. Service was friendly and efficient. Prices very reasonable.

Debating between Carinos and Del Taco and Carinos was closer and had some interesting menu items…read more At the peak they had 170 locations and are down to 30 nationwide now. We came in a Monday about 40 minutes before closing and it seemed like they were getting ready to end the night. No one else was in the restaurant though there were a couple people at the bar. We told them we just wanted something fast and would be in and out quickly and were seated quickly at a booth. Our waitress was amazing and still kind and energetic though it was the end of day. Free bread with garlic balsamic olive oil, bread was warm and they were very generous with the amount of dried garlic. Margherita pizza: we picked the most standard one and it was odd. Instead of cheese and fresh basil it had slices of tomato and dried basil. Crust was underdone and there was way too much cheese on it. Italian nachos: Crispy pasta chips, black olives, pepperoncinis, Roma tomatoes, jalapeños, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella and parmesan. We had it with chicken and it was interesting but drowning in Alfredo sauce.

I felt rushed with the young man waiter hovering over the table looking at me while I looked at the menu, we had just gotten there and gotten our teas. Seemed inpatient so I went with the same lunch special I had last time and forgot that for some crazy reason the pasta and sauce does not come with mozzarella cheese! Who wants pasta with no cheese? Yes I realized after the fact while not being pressured to order, the FINE print list of all things ADD Ons. I'm surprised the sauce was included. It would be a nice touch if the waiter or waitress would kindly ask if I want some baked cheese, I would say yes! He did ask about parmesan but thats not the same. Needless to say, I required a large takeout container and brought most of the pasta home in case I want to add cheese and bake in the oven. Honestly, next time i'll boil the pasta, make the sauce, and bake it with cheese myself. I'm disappointed , I thought we had found a nice little place to come eat while we're here since there is a lack of places besides the usual.
