    3 tacos tasted homemade
    Angela W.

    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

    There's nothing fancy about the Sunset Grill. Heck, when we walked in, we were the only customers and the parking lot looked empty. But the food... OMG, the food! As I eat Keto, I had a bunless cheeseburger with bacon and it was heavenly! And huge! The burgers are a full 8 oz and cooked to order! I also choose the side salad as my side. The salad dressing (I choose balsamic vinaigrette) comes in a large container and tasted homemade! My husband ate the chips and salsa that came complimentary when we sat down and said they were tasty. He ordered a Philly cheesesteak and subbed green chile for the peppers and onions. He said the chile was hot (score!) and the sandwich was great! In fact, it smelled so good that the couple who came in while we were eating ordered the same thing because it smelled so good! He also ordered the onion rings that we had read about in previous Yelp reviews as his side. Let me tell you: you NEED the onion rings! They are hand breaded and perfect! My husband is the pickiest guy when it comes to onion rings and he could not get over them! And it was all so cheap too! Yum!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Came here for lunch on a holiday weekend (Sunday). Inside was packed, but thankfully the outside…read morehad plenty of open tables and the weather was lovely. Ordered: Cheese curds: spectacular! 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!

    Found this restaurant on Yelp. It had a good rating but I must say that it exceeded our…read moreexpectations! We had lobster rolls which were served warm. That's how we prefer them. (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!

    Excellent. I'd give it 4.5 stars but don't have that option…read more The green chili chicken enchiladas were really good. My one suggestion, the green chili sauce could be a bit thicker and spicier with more green chili, I mean T or C is what 30 or so north of Hatch? I got mine with diced onions, next time without definitely. The beans and rice were excellent as well. Small, busy location so it's a bit noisy to have a conversation. The staffing was excellent. The owner is a gem. She even pulled/sold me an apron off the wall i admired. T or C is fortunate to have such an excellent restaurant.

    If you're looking for outdoor seating because you're traveling with a dog, don't stop here. I have…read morenever heard so many bizarre reasons as to why a dog cannot even be on the premises; first one was because of a "code," second one was because there is a bad dog next door that might hurt or kill my dog and the third one was their liability insurance. Not sure if I believed any of those reasons but I ordered food to go because of the Yelp. After looking into the New Mexico restaurant liability insurance explanation, I now know that this place just flat out doesn't like dogs anywhere. I feel like "dog friendly" should be another option on Yelp since so many people now travel with their pets. I should have left because it was very hot and windy and the owners were extremely rude but, against my husbands wishes, I ordered to go based on the food reviews and also based on nostalgia (because the location was the exact location for great Mexican food in the 1980's. Now to the food: I ordered the large combo. It was good but not the best New Mexico Mexican food. The cheese enchiladas were okay. The taco was not crispy, probably because it was squeezed into a styrofoam container, and was made with hamburger meat. I was hoping for shredded beef. Oh well. The chile relleno was good, not the best. Overall, the food was good but I've had better. The green chile sauce was better than good. I honestly think that if we had been allowed to dine outdoors on the premises, the food would have been served on a bigger plate and I would have been able to distinguish what I was eating better. Would I eat here again...that's a big fat nope. Nor would they want me to, probably. The owner(s) were rude. The food was mediocre at best. I loved raising my girls and living in T or C back in the 80's, but I will never stop there again to eat because the people at Tony's.
