My daughter was skeptical but I Yelped a review and decided to make this stop. As it turned out, friendly service and a decent meal for a fair price in today's inflated economy. We were both happy with the decision to try it. We both had the green chile cheese burger and they were good, filling and very satisfying. Will make a point to stop again when passing through during meal time.

The atmosphere has that old-school diner vibe -- simple, comfortable, and very hometown. The food was solid and portions were generous. You're not going there for fancy plating -- you're going for hearty, stick-to-your-ribs meals that hit the spot. We had a hearty breakfast in pictures above - Service was friendly and familiar, which is what you expect in a small-town staple. Like any busy local diner, timing can vary depending on the rush, but overall it's a dependable stop if you're in Trinidad and looking for a no-frills meal with a local feel. Would definitely stop in again.

The chips and salsa were delicious! Surprise ... we found out that Sunday was all day happy hour. I ordered the large margarita ($10) and I loved it. My husband's beer was also discounted for HH. I ordered the chile relleno from the lunch menu. It came with tasty beans and fideo ... which was less to my liking (a bit oily). The Relleno was good. I particularly liked the crisp coating when it was hot. The husband had the lunch chicken burrito with green chili. He enjoyed it but thought the sauce was a bit excessively black-peppered. Our server was top notch. She was prompt, professional and friendly. The prices and portions are great. This is a really good find.

I've ever tasted a tad too much dressing. However, the candied bacon is phenomenal and the deep fried peppers on top really gave it a nice twist with fresh blue cheese. I would definitely order this again. I must try.!

Texans making the road trip to and from Colorado (and anyone else going anywhere, I suppose!), you need to make it to Alfonso's.

The building itself is great -- adobe-style, colorful, and exactly what you hope a Mexican restaurant looks like. When you walk in, the atmosphere is lively and welcoming. We were greeted right away and seated immediately. Chips and salsa came out quickly. The salsa tasted fresh and traditional, but it had a little more kick than I personally can handle. (If you like spicy, you'll probably love it.) We also ordered guacamole, because we order guacamole everywhere we go -- it's kind of our thing. This one surprised us a bit. Instead of the usual chunky guac with onions and tomatoes, it was more like mashed avocado with a generous amount of red pepper flakes. Unfortunately that pushed it into "too spicy for me" territory. For drinks we shared a piña colada, which was fantastic -- topped with whipped cream and a cherry and exactly what you want after a long day of driving. I ordered the combo fajitas (chicken and steak) and they came out sizzling hot on the classic cast-iron platter with peppers, onions, and tomatoes. Always a good sign when you can hear your dinner coming from across the room. It came with rice, beans, sour cream, and guacamole on the side. The rice had a nice smoky flavor and the beans were topped with melted cheese -- both really good. They don't automatically include shredded cheese with the fajitas, but they happily brought some when I asked. My husband ordered the chicken and cheese quesadilla appetizer, but when it arrived we both laughed because it was enormous -- definitely entrée-sized. He said it was really good and had no trouble finishing it. Service was a little slow, but the place was busy and had a great vibe. It felt like one of those local spots people in town love. It's also right near the highway, which probably makes it a popular stop for travelers like us. Prices were about what you'd expect for a sit-down Mexican restaurant. No military discount, but overall still a solid experience. If we find ourselves driving through Trinidad again, we'd absolutely stop back in.

If you dine in be sure to read the information on the wall photos. We got a couple of Paninis: Turkey Apple Cheddar and Applewood Bacon & Ham.

So we basically were left with doughy onion rings. The atmosphere - while there we saw a group of POC (black folks) come in and were seated but then absolutely ignored by the waitress while others that arrived after them were served. After some time they got up and walked out after never even being spoken to. We were still waiting for our order and decided we too couldn't sit by while others were treated like that and refuse to give such racism our $$! We left a $20 on the table for the greasy onions ring because we aren't thieves, and left.  Disgusted... Never again. The only thing worse than the food was the racism in my opinion!!!
