    Flavorless fajitas
    jessie a.

    Little hole in the wall restaurant that could frankly be passed by. T or C doesn't have a big selection and most restaurants are mom and pop types. This place disappointed. I asked for the Mexican plate but it was a plate with tex Mexican flavors. It came with a tamale that was nondescript at best. That said, it was the best thing on the plate. The taco wasn't too bad for a taco bell shell type taco. The enchilada tasted like the kind the school cafeteria served. The chile relleno was bland. The rice was a little on the undercooked side. The beans tasted out of a can. Bf had the beef fajitas and those tasted pan fried and flavorless. Overall nothing to see here folks.

    3 tacos tasted homemade

    Didn't know where else to go so we just pulled in. Didn't look like much of anything from the outside. Real divey kind of diner but food and service was great. Locals eating in there is a good indicator

    Great diner in TorC. Huge sandwiches, delicious, thick well cooked fries, excellent service. Worth the 7 minute drive off the freeway to get to. Will definitely return when I'm town again.

    Homemade salsa and guacamole

    The Sunset Grill is a decent place to grab a bite when in town to visit Elephant Butte. It offers average and tasty New Mexican food at an affordable price. After eating lunch here it's no secret that most of the people are locals. However, during the busy season tourists make their way here as well. If you're going to make this stop I would order the New Mexican food. The portions are enormous and most of it is made from scratch on site. This includes there red and green chile and other key items like the guacamole and salsa. If there's one thing on the menu that you should try it's the carne adovada. You can either get it as a plate or inside a sopapilla. If you're going to order it as a stuffed sopapilla be prepared for a massive amount of toppings and cheese. Is enough food for a cow to eat. Meanwhile, nobody leaves here hungry. And I would recommend ordering the guacamole to start. It's got a lot of flavor and it's made fresh every day period One of the highlights here are the breakfast burritos period it's likely the signature item of this restaurant. They are enormous and if you're heading out on the lake for the day it be a good idea to stop and get one first. Doing so might keep your full the rest of the day. When in town there's plenty of local restaurants like this. This one is a safe bet.

    Their famous onion rings! Chocolate Decadence in the background.

    Stopped in after soaking in the hot springs down the road. The ambiance is a good old-fashioned diner. It's like stepping back in time, which matches the the town. We loved reading all the quirky signs and listening to the locals while dining. We ordered the onion rings because we heard they're famous and they did not disappoint! We also had the bean and cheese sopapillas. They were the highlight of the meal. The beans were delicious and there was perfect crisp on the sopapillas. I will always remember this meal.

Bigfoot burger and rosemary fries 1000/10 Cashew chicken, which came with a choice of rice (I got fried), sautéed vegetables (delicious) and an award-worthy egg roll. Chicken was good, but not as good as the burger. I think they use chicken breast, I'm more used to having thighs in these types of dishes. Just a personal preference. The egg roll, however was delicious. Two pints (and then two more) of the hef on draft to seal the deal. In short: go if you get a chance, go without any hesitation! Food is delicious, the venue is very cute and service is incredibly attentive and speedy! You won't regret it!

(Never got used to the cold version in Boston.) It was a mixture of lobster and other seafood but quite nice. My side was a green salad with a vinaigrette dressing and it was really fresh and good. My dinner companion had the truffle fries as his side. I couldn't resist stealing a few from his plate and they were very tasty. He ordered a Santa's Nightcap seasonal cocktail made with eggnog, rum, coffee liquer, whipped cream, and topped with a gingerbread man! I had an espresso martini. It was fine. I have nothing to compare it to since it was my first. The inside was nice but a bit on the small side. The booths had been reserved so we sat at a table in the middle of the room. The woman who waited on us was very welcoming. I must also mention the dog-friendly patio, complete with heat lamps. It looked magical decorated with hundreds of tiny lights. This restaurant is definitely a place to try. You can't miss it due to the giant Bigfoot statue on the sign in front!

I've eaten a lot of green chile cheese burgers around the state and I honestly can say this was one of the best I've ever had. The meat was seasoned so perfectly that every bite was savory. The red chile here was also delicious. Service was top notch. We sat down ordered some drinks and without asking they brought us some complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was delicious too. So many other things I want to try on the menu and hopefully we will soon again. It's a little further south than we usually go when we go to the lake but the extra 20 minute drive is worth every minute. Some really great food and some really nice people. Two thumbs up from me. 100% recommend.

    Well , i guess i have to come in lower than others…read more We did a 3 beef taco plate , rice and beans and i added a pork tamale. The Tamale was the hit. The Tacos were bland and the rice on both plates was left behind. No bottled hot sauce is served here. The Tony special was good but smothered in cheese. So all one color. I asked for salsa for the tacos but a cell phone took precedence and i was on the third one before it came. It's been here a long time but i can't call it quaint or charming. They did have mexican music in the speakers. i ll try another spot when we come back. Actually johnny b's taco plates looked very good the other night. That would be my next alternate.

He checked in at the right times and made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. It's that kind of thoughtful service that makes a difference and keeps people coming back. The atmosphere was modern and relaxed clean tables, good lighting, and an overall comfortable vibe that made it easy to enjoy the meal.

The quesadillas came with way more food than we expected and they were cooked nicely, but a bit bland. The lettuce was also very wilted and old. The sopaipilla was huge! We were surprised it wasn't crispier, but it was still super tasty! I would definitely get that again. Besides the sopaipilla, it seems like a pretty average food place. I would come again, but it's not a must for me.
