I had hoped to order sopapillas but we were there too early for them to be making them. As we were asking for the check, our server Leticia came by and asked if I still wanted a sopapilla.

The food is here is freaking amazing…read more I used to come here all the time.When I was younger, so now when I get bit into town, this is one of the places that I always stop at.

Dessert and drinks are always my favorite part here, especially the natillas (like an horchata…read morepudding.) I prefer those over the flan. The kids love the arroz con pollo soup. Fajitas are always a hit. I got the taco combo plate this last time and had to take most of it to go as the portions are huge and a little greasy, but everything was delicious. Service is always great even when we come in with 10-20 people. It can be a little cramped, but they accommodate our huge parties. Bathrooms are nice and clean.

To be honest, I have never been in love with this…read moreplace as I find the food to be mediocre but the ambience is nice (more of an upscale dining experience) so I get why people like it here. This was BFF's first time here and he loved it. Both he and mom ordered the carne adovada plate which came with refried beans and rice (they did state that the red chile was too spicy though). I ordered a bean and cheese burrito with both red and green chile (Xmas style). It was ok but 16 bucks for this was too expensive. We also ordered a margarita each and they were also just ok and too expensive at 13 bucks each. As for the parking, it is kind of confusing but there is plenty of (unmarked) spots and kind of like a maze. We dropped off mom on the side (she is handicapped) as there really isn't a front side where you can drop off anyone. Our server was so genuinely nice though and provided excellent service and she went above as well as she noticed us dropping mom off via the cameras and told us we could go out through the side entrance. Would I be back? Most likely not as I had mentioned above that this place has never been one of my favorites but I am sure I am in the minority. I hear it is quite the place to be seen (for happy hour).

(The carne adovada is actually made with local (precious!) heirloom Chimayó chile; everything else is mundane Hatch.) The pricing is warm and the only cell connectivity you'll have is via T-Mobile (which is why I've never checked in here, although I go once a year or so). I don't love the place enough to make a special trip, but I'm happy to get dragged to the Rancho de Chimayó every year while driving through the area. Don't miss it.

We had not been back in A few years. This visit is…read more bittersweet since the lovely founder has recently passed away. Unfortunately, this visit fell flat. The usual meals were not as rich, the flan(our reason for going back m) was not as delicate, luscious. Not much modification of interior design , seems old and worn. The kitchen has been revamped and the gift shop has moved (this was true of our last visit, so not that new). It's a beautiful spot, it will hold in my memory. But , the food and interior are deteriorating, hopefully they will refresh and renew. I know it's difficult right now with their loss.

Explains everything for the newbies. Patient and erudite. Such poise in such a young person. It's a small dining area. Clearly a local fave. Phone was ringing off the hook. But many clearly knew their way around. A few ppl walked in, placed their order and said they'd be back at such and such a time. There's only a small kitchen We got to mean Domenic, our cook A sweetheart and a skilled chef. The food itself seems straightforward and pretty simple, but each dish had its own flavor which I think is pretty hard to do and each was so satisfyingly delicious. I think I would've bn satisfied with just the menudo and the half order of nachos, but didn't know it at the time we ordered so we went on and got the El Faro burger, my friend ordered the cheese enchiladas and of course we got the chile Christmas on the side. Fantastic! And a tremendous value. We were quite shocked that our entire meal, including 2 sodas came to less that $40, such that we left double that bc these small businesses are such treasures and we want such places to remain in business. Seemed there were quite a few locals but also lots of travelers coming through. I certainly plan to be back soon!

Also, the replies I've seen from (the owner?) on reviews that weren't five stars are outright unprofessional.

As far as the ambience goes, it is a very nice restaurant, but too many servers on hand just standing around and staring, I felt uncomfy about that.
