    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

    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.

The manager incorrectly stated that service dogs must wear a vest to be recognized as service animals and demanded that we provide a "service animal certificate." We were then told that such certificates were not valid and that service animals must be registered in New Mexico before being allowed into the restaurant. None of these statements are consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Service dogs are not required to wear vests, carry certificates, or be registered with any state in order to access public accommodations. It is deeply concerning that a manager responsible for serving the public appears to have such a poor understanding of federal disability law. The experience was embarrassing, discriminatory, and completely unnecessary. I have traveled extensively throughout the United States with my service dogs and have never been treated this way. I strongly encourage management to educate staff on ADA requirements before another customer is subjected to the same treatment. Until then, I cannot recommend this establishment to anyone who relies on a service animal.

They cook very good food and will accommodate you if you need something not on the menu. I walked in just before closing and they offered to cook me something just the same. I came back the next day for their fried catfish and hushpuppies (made with green chilis). My vegetarian friend was provided vegetarian soup the night before, and fixed a salad and improvised quinoa dish with vegies when we went back. They go the extra mile. Very good folks! Wish I could have gone back on Derby Day to see what bourbon concoctions they had. :)

The biscuits and gravy were excellent, which isn't easy for most kitchens to achieve. The eggs and bacon were great, too, prepared as I had ordered them. Staff were the owners, who were super friendly and the food came quickly. The interior is that of a small town diner put into what was probably a house at some point. It was clean, a little kitschy, and quiet the morning we were in. It's nice to see them making a go of it with a restaurant and being up to the task of succeeding. Great stop on our motorcycle rides out that way. Sorry, didn't take pics, but it was appetizing.

One of my colleagues used to work in Socorro, so she was happy to be our tour guide for that segment of the trip, sharing personal anecdotes, fun facts, local insights, and other background on Socorro County. After our meeting and brief windshield tour, we ended up at Desert Diamond for lunch, and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is a no-frills mom and pop that specializes in New Mexican cuisine. There was a decent crowd in the restaurant for the lunch rush, and all signs indicated that this place would be solid. Once we were seated, and I had a chance to scan the menu, I quickly landed on the stuffed sopaipillas since I had never had that particular dish before. About ten minutes later, our meals were expertly delivered to our table in perfect unison. The stuffed sopaipilla came out piping hot and extremely well-seasoned. I decided to enjoy the moment and indulge, effortlessly reinstating my membership in the Clean Plate Club!
