Wow! I was very impressed with Yo Mama's Grill in Socorro. I am here for two weeks of training and am glad I found Yo Mama's on night 2. I had actually sat down at the bar of a restaurant close to my hotel but ended up walking out due to poor reception, cleanliness, and overall feel. The contrast at Yo Mama's could not have been greater. I received a friendly welcome from at least two staff, which was extended to all patrons the came in. The dining room is bright and clean, with a 4-seat bar on the side near the kitchen. The owner is in the kitchen and available, and the food is great. I've only had the harvest burger with homemade chips and a Caesar salad, but they were superb, bordering on cuisine. There are many interesting sandwiches and finer dishes on the menu, which I will be sampling over the next two weeks. It is sometimes hard to find great food and great service around here. Yo Mama's nails it. read more

Yo Mama's Grill - Harvest Burger with a little extra mound of real green chile under the queso. Homemade seasoned chips on the side. It was awesome. - New American Near Me - Socorro, New Mexico

Food is excellent, service is good, prices are reasonable - - but Yo Mama's Grill turns out to be just one more example of Socorro's infamously terrible school system. Is it really so hard to proofread a menu? I can't help but wonder: if such an obvious typo on the menu is wrong, what other hidden errors exist? (BTW - it's spelled "Caesar" not "Ceasar"). read more

Diego was our waiter and he was excellent. We tried the potato skins for an app and they were delicious. 7 huge potato skins the size of a full potato. I got the blackened chicken salad and it was so pretty and delicious on the plate. The catfish is from Mississippi and fresh the shrimp were crispy fried and delicious. The bacon cheeseburger was cooked to a perfect medium well and the portions were great. The food was hot serves fresh and quick. We will go back if we are in Socorro read more

Yo Mama's Grill!! If you can't wait until Las Cruces or Abq this place will do. Service is friendly. My chicken salad came out quick and was good. I think burgers and fried items are more their specialty -- the place wreaks of burnt frying oil. There's a bar with beers on tap and big screen tvs. Prob a good spot to meet up and watch sports. read more

Yo Mama Chicken is amazing! Didn't image that I can have so good a lunch here on the way to white sand national monument. The house potato chips are amazing too. Thanks! read more

The service was fast, and the food was delicious! I ordered the grilled salmon, and my husband ordered the tech burger. The salmon was accompanied by a side salad, rice, and one side. The salad was a bit small, but perfect for the amount of food to come. I was extremely pleased with the portion of salmon I received (very generous portion in my opinion). The burger and fries my husband ordered were served to his liking (well done, and garnish on the side), and the the fries were perfectly cooked. The hostess sat us next to the bar, and I can see they had a good selection of La Cumbre beer and St. Clair wines. We did not indulge in a drink since we were traveling, but the bar selection was appealing. The cleanliness of the establishment was on point. read more

Good food and you always get what you expect. The service is consistently attentive and only sometimes too much. The fried chicken is my go to even when I want a salad. Thus: try the Crispy Chicken Salad (with your choice of dressing). I find it quite satisfying. read more

Stopped on the road, and it was great! I didn't order anything too intricate (sandwich and fries), but it was all good! My friends all liked their food too. Always a gamble when you travel and take a chance on an unknown place. Try the fried ice cream! Great flavor! read more

Good burgers and good beers! Coming from California this is a pretty great spot. Will definitely be back.

This place has excellent food, and a waitstaff that's friendly and well trained. The last time I was there, I ordered the blackened chicken salad, and it was SO good. I usually try to eat just half and take the rest home, but not this time...had to devour it all! The chicken was cooked to perfection, the greens were crisp, clean, and crunchy, and the rest of the fixings totally complemented the feel of the salad. This is my "go to" place if I ever want to take someone out for a nice meal without breaking the bank. Excellent stuff! read more

Yo Mama's has it going on! Great warm help and fabulous food for a great price! It's the place to go!

Would've missed this place because the sign is small and dark if we weren't using the Yelp map to get here. It is attached to a yellow and green older motel that is now an Economy Inn or something similar. Two adults and 3 kids had a great meal. The kids meals offered a good variety including fried shrimp or catfish in addition to standard kids fare. I could've been very happy with one myself! Adults had chicken fried steak, and the veggie kabob my husband chose looked awesome. The only negative that I can say about the food is that the lettuce in the salad was beginning to turn brown. The service was excellent. The bathrooms could use updating/ remodeling. All in all, a very pleasant surprise stop passing through Socorro on our way to Albuquerque. read more

Ad lunch here yesterday. WOW Best burger with the works, bacon, cheddar, lettuce and tomatoes and pickles, Along with homemade potato chips. Neat decor and fabulous waitress. If you're in Socorro don't miss this place and I hope they replenish their tee shirt supply. Great grey, black and white tee but out of my size. I never buy tee shirts but really wanted this one in these colors. Only $20. Stopping back on my return trip for food and tee shirt! read more

Can't decide which was worse, the service or the food! FIRST RESPONDERS - STAY AWAY!!! Service was awful. Our waitress was rude, ignored us, and didn't bring half of what we ordered. We asked three different times for our appetizers, and they never showed up. The food took forever, when it did show up, it was awful. The Alfredo sauce had the consistency of soup, the fried chicken seemed to be missing most of the chicken and the caesar salads were missing the dressing. The only good thing was the ice cream pie desert. Two hostesses did their best to help us, and the owner apologized a lot. We weren't the only ones, many tables around us had similar difficulties. At least everyone at our tables got their food, tables around us were not so lucky. I would rather eat at the 7/11 down the street... read more

We called ahead for an order to go and it was delicious!! Black Bean Burger was a little messy to eat in the car, but so worth it. Turkey and avocado sandwich was awesome, as well! This is our new "go to" spot between ABQ and Las Cruces!! Nicely packed, wonderful staff and delicious food! Be sure to get the house made chips! read more

They have wonderful burgers, fries and sandwiches but everything else is mediocre. The staff is absolutely terrible and every to go order is a cluster fuck. They have messed up my order three out of five times already and without a single apology. Furthermore they never charged for ranch before but suddenly when business is booming they charge an extra dollar for RANCH THAT'S HALF FILLED. Honestly this place would be the best in town if they decided to hire staff with some respect and common sense. Also, when they say it'll take 15 minutes they actually mean 30 minutes. I have NO ISSUES waiting 30 minutes but my goodness, don't say 15 minutes and make me wait another 15 once I get there. Yo Mama's, if you're reading, PLEASE GET SOME NEW STAFF before they ruin your reputation. read more

What a fun find in Socorro! Great burgers. Wonderful beer selection, and very welcoming environment. We'll go back!

choosing between a fastfood joint and yo mama is a no brainer. I ordered/paid online and the food was brought out to me. the burger was pretty big and i took a trip around campus so about 15 minutes later when i got to dig in the bottom bun was a little mushy. Toppings were fresh and burger was seasoned nicely read more

Wanted a good place to eat as we were passing through & yelp delivered. A small diner like atmosphere but service was excellent & the food was delicious. What a find...see you again soon. read more

Went here for my 20th birthday with husband and daughter. Very loud in restaurant to where you can hardly hold a conversation at your table, staff were generally nice aside from the occasional grumpy waitress. Food was okay. Daughter very much enjoyed the chicken strips, chicken teriyaki was a bit bland, with the bed of rice tasting almost entirely of soy sauce. Most likely not to visit again, portions aren't very great and a bit overpriced. read more

We were passing through and found yo mama grill. Its really good the salad dressings are home made. With that kind of attention to flavors i cant wait to pass through again. read more

Good burgers. Definitely not the best. The fries are always leaving more to be desired. The bacon on my Tech Burger tasted like it was precooked and frozen?? It definitely doesn't taste like anything really. Just hard jerky (and not even salty). DO NOT GET the chips and salsa. They are basically water. I am very sad they don't serve guacamole here. The BBQ wontons are 10/10, best appetizer on the menu! French dip is good too. ALSO DO NOT GET THEIR "BLACKENED" stuff unless you like charred meats. It is basically just burnt meat. Good prices though. Kind waiters. read more

Don't judge this book by its cover. Great chicken fried steak and outstanding service. Definitely a pleasant surprise. Wouldn't expect this in Socorro. Will be back and recommend you try it. read more

Fun place.....great burgers. Try the chicken Caesar Salad with homemade Caesar dressing magically whipped up by hand in a wooden bowl.YUM. They may outgrow this place as they did their last location. We wish them continued success. read more

One of the best places to eat in Socorro! Visiting for the first Saturday in April activities. Good flavors and friendly staff.

Great restaurant! Great service, even better food, and best of all its super cheap (especially considering the portions). If ur in Socorro, you should definitely check this place out! read more

Amazing food! On the road traveling back home and found this little gem on Yelp!! My son had the corn dog and I think my husband and I ate most of it - delish! I had the blackened catfish which was out of this world! My hubby had the yo mama chicken which had green chilie and cheese and it was by far the BEST chicken he ever ate!! We had a side of green chilie which was perfect.Service was amazing, too!!! So happy we found this little spot! read more

Best burger I've had in socorro. Service is fast and friendly. Food came out quick and cooked to perfection. It's good food and clean. I'll coming here for more. read more

We tried this restaurant because of the reviews on Yelp- so thanks! Loved it from the start because they offered St. Claire wine! We started off with the chips and queso. It was tasty. Followed by a house salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Greens, cucumber and bell peppers were fresh and crisp. For my entree, I had the Hawaiian chicken with rice and a vegetable kabab. Great flavor- the food was delicious and the service was good- definitely will come back. read more

Yo Mama's Grill - New American Near Me - Socorro, New Mexico

We drove through town on vacation and checked this place out. We were a bit hesitant and it looks like it's part of a motel but there really weren't any options as it's a small town in the middle of no where and it was a Sunday. Boy we're we surprised! The burgers were handmade and so tasty. The queso was spicy with green chilies and maybe he best I've ever had. And I live in TX so I know my queso. My wife and other son had grilled chicken which was good, healthy and nowhere close to the patty melt and queso burger my other son and I had. As a bonus, they also had Santa Fe IPA in tap. He place was as friendly as any place I'd ever been. They even filled out liter water bottles with ice water for our road trip. A gem of a find for sure. read more

Really tasty food, friendly service, quick and not terribly pricey. I had a Top Sirloin which was cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and tender and juicy. My coworker had the chopped steak and said he couldn't remember having a better one. Salad was fresh and tasty, and the sides were delicious, if slightly undercooked. The chips were fresh and crispy, and lightly coated with seasoning, and the salsa was hot and looked handmade. read more

Prompt, friendly service. A mix of students from NM Tech and families. I ordered the Tech Burger medium-rare and added green chile. They wouldn't let me substitute a salad for the chips/fries, which was a little disappointing. The burger itself was pretty fantastic and cooked correctly. All the fixins seemed fresh. The meat was very flavorful. The only thing missing from this place is beer. :) read more

Fantastic! Thank goodness for another option in Socorro - other than the Socorro Springs Brewery (which was closed, hence our eating here). Price for two for lunch was just about $20. They are sensitive to food allergies. read more

Holy cow! If you're feeling skeptical about this place because it's attached to a hotel.....stop it. The food was incredible. I had the harvester burger and wanted to hide and eat it so I could go full piggy on it. So good. The service was great to. read more

Exterior was a bit deceptive but we were happy with our experience. They had a great selection of food and it was mostly prepared (broccoli was almost raw but that's better than over cooked). Service was attentive and friendly. We will be back during our visit. read more

Passing through town and saw the rave reviews so we decided to eat here. Hubby ordered Yo Mama's burger and said it's real good. I ordered the party melt and it was more in the dry shide. The chips and fries were well cooked but too salty for us. The winner is the mud pie. read more

What a great little place. Service is great and food is really good. What a nice find in a small town. If you are in the area you should stop in and have some grub. I will be back for sure. read more

Great presentation and very high quality. Also, very good wait staff and owner checked on our satisfaction! Highly recommend!

Compared to all the other places in socorro, this is a 5 for sure. I ordered the green chili burger and it was phenomenal. Service was really good. AC would have been nice since I went in the summer, but all in all a really cool place. I wanted to go back and try the dessert people had talked about but we ended up opting to go hiking instead. Definitely will go back when I return here for another class. read more

For a small town, this is way above expectation. We ordered New York Steak and Yo Mama's Chicken. Both tasted good. Service is courteous and fast. Good value. read more
