Tacos El Abuelo…read more Tasty, authentic, and home style Mexican antojito cooking. Had a torta de asada 5/5 and a burrito de tripa 5/5. Red hot salsa is an amazing topping if you can handle all the heat. For novices, steer clear from the red hot salsa. You will thank me later. Truck drivers, it's 5 mins from the Freeway. And you can work next to the taco truck and pop your hood to check your oil coolant and perform a pre-trip while you binge and gorge. Highly recommended. Will be back. Thanks.

Peppe's restaurant in Canutillo, Texas characterizes itself as a "New Mexican Food Restaurant" so…read morenaturally I just had to drive down to see what it is all about. Since I have lived in New Mexico for many years and dined in all the Mexican food restaurants in Las Cruces as well as others around the state, I have a sound point of reference as to what is good New Mex cuisine. Inside the restaurant is nicer than you might expect from viewing it from the outside. It is full of light, open, clean, and a comfortable place for dining. Upon entering I was greeted by a friendly gentleman and told to sit wherever I wanted. There are two dining areas, a smaller room near the entrance and a larger dining area through an archway. The seating is exclusively on banquet chairs with large tables. A waitress was at my table within a minute or two with a menu, a bowl of chips and a little glass flask with salsa. The service was very pleasant and efficient. Everybody working there seemed most friendly and accomodating. Wanting to sample a wide variety of their "New Mexican" food I ordered the #3 combo plate. It was prepared and on my table within eight to ten minutes. It came with Spanish rice, whole pinto beans, a rolled taco filled with ground beef, an enchilada, a chile relleno, and red chile con carne, A small dish of their coleslaw was served on the side. So, how did the food taste? Was it "New Mexican?" Was it good? High in quality New Mex food? Let's find out. The enchilada was covered in their red chile sauce with a bit of shredded cheese. Their rolled taco was sandwiched between the enchilada and the relleno and strangely enough it was sitting in the red sauce which made it impossible to pick up and eat with your hands. Strange way to serve a rolled taco??? The relleno had no sauce over it. The plate had the appearance of New Mex food, but what of the quality? To begin, the chips were very ordinary. They rate about a "C." The tomato based salsa was low on flavor and heat. Very mediocre salsa. Rate it a "C"...no better. The beans were a bit bland and quite undistinguished. Give them a C." The rice was the usual. Rate the rice a "C+." It was fluffy and prepared well. The rolled taco which had to be eaten with a knife and fork was somewhat tough and chewy with little corn flavor. The beef filling was not very well seasoned. Rate the rolled taco a "C-." Not something to look forward to. The enchilada was ok as far as it went but the red chile sauce...THE HALLMARK OF NEW MEX CUISINE...covering it was not good. The red chile sauce at Peppe's was really below the New Mex standard. Thus, the enchilada rated about a "C." The chile con carne had some properly sized and tender chunks of pork but again the red chile sauce had little flavor and was quite bland. Not up to the New Mexican standard. Rate the red chile con carne about a "C." Rate the red chile sauce a "C-." Not the stuff of legend. The relleno was plainly speaking not very good. The coating and the chile pepper itself were both soft and mushy with little flavor. Rate Peppe's chile relleno this day a "D" for poor. The coleslaw was vinegar based and not mayo based. It had therefore a little zing to it but at the end of the day it was nothing to write home about. Rate it a "C." So, all in all, I came away a little disappointed. Although I like the restaurant and found the people there nice and the service very good, I found all the food, while not bad, (relleno excepted) to be very pedestrian. I hate to say this given how pleasant the people at Peppe's are but I did not find one food item that was really good. None of this was a good version of New Mexican cuisine. Thus, rate the overall dining experience at Peppe's in Canutillo THREE AND A HALF STARS....not bad but not a great experience for for a full serve restaurant. Everything tasted today was "C" level food. The folks that pass out five star ratings I can only say that they must have a very limited perspective regarding New Mex cuisine.

This is…read moredefinitely a little hole in the wall restaurant with I remember like five tables in the inside and two on the outside. My mom actually took me here because she went with her coworkers and said that the tacos were delicious. We came in found a table and went up to the counter to order. They had a good selection of tacos and tortas, and I decided just to let my mom order for me. She ordered me the Tacos Asada and thankfully just a water because I was super dehydrated. Was tempted to order a Watermelon Agua Fresca because those are my favorites, but I really needed to hydrate, and little did I know that later that was the right decision. The order of tacos took forever to come out and normally this would not bother me because I do not mind waiting if the food is worth it. Unfortunately, what was disappointing was that four other people that came after me all got their orders before me, one of them included a group of five people. When the tacos did arrive they were delicious but against contenders like Fool's Gold and Tacos El Toro Bronco they did not match up. Although what helps step up their game is the salsa. Some of the hottest salsa I had at a restaurant in a while and that is what I loved the most. I love spicy food and this salsa was killing me, had to make sure to get another bottle of water because my mouth was dying of thirst from that salsa. We rushed out pretty quickly to get home because we were a little tired from the wait and chatting so much, but I have a feeling I will be headed back to see if I can buy the salsa.

I ordered the huevos con chilaquiles, a dish I've wanted to try for awhile but never had the opportunity to find it on a menu. It was fantastic! It came with a side of potatoes with chorizo, refried beans and a fresh tortilla. I look forward to returning a few more times before I leave the area for some more great food.

For the kind of money I spent, you aren't being filled up nearly as much as you would somewhere else for some other food, but you are getting good food.
