    Nice small Town family bar and grill, In the old days, we would call it a tavern. With definitely a local feel. Both the husband and wife who own the place work there and really try to make a difference. All the staff I met were very helpful and kind. I love the fact that they got locally sourced.Chiles for their salsas and their chillie cheeseburgers. Although I had a tech burger , I made sure I got a side of the local chiles. They have an extensive variety of food chicken dishes, salad's and burgers. Restaurants and bars are also about expectations, what type of bar and restaurant are you going to? And everyone is under staffed, so I always appreciate the service staff who are working. The small town restaurants you have to remember serve local families, ranchers, couples on dates to workers on temporary assignment for cable or some other service and really are gathering places. They're not used to big city out of town tourists.So if you keep that in mind you'll have a great experience at any of the small towns you visit. They offer quite a variety of New Mexico beers as well as some regular favorites. They make quite a variety of cocktails as well. Single diners are welcome at the bar or they'll fit you in a table.If that's not too busy.

    If you are in Socorro and looking for food variety this is the top choice. Full service restaurant offers a wide variety on its American food menu. Service is fine. It tends to get busy during dinner hours so some patience is recommended. The Ruben and fries were fine, too much sauce on the sandwich and wasn't the thicker dressing that you'd expect. The fries have good flavor but are probably the most unhealthy fries I've had in a while! The side garden salad was fantastic (dressing comes on the side). The only challenge was that it was piled so high on the plate it was hard to prevent it falling on the table. Seriously, this is the go-to place in town.

    Dining out for dinner in the winter months in Socorro has limited options as many of the restaurants close early. I spoke with the manager at one place and he said ever since Covid, the majority of diners came in during the daytime. So we were glad we found Yo Mama's Grill on the first night we were in town. They serve until 8pm most nights so we arrived around 6:30 and were quickly seated. They were doing a brisk business with almost every table taken. The staff were friendly, hostess seated us and our server soon arrived with menus and to take drink orders. I will warn you, the place can be rather loud when it is full of happy customers but that was ok with us. We all decided to forego an appetizer, even though they all sounded great, but ordered our entrees instead. It didn't take long and salads were soon on the table, which we quickly enjoyed and then they whisked our entrees out of the kitchen to our table, piping hot and carefully plated. We tried the Rib Eye steak, grilled perfectly, a large salad topped with chunks of their fried chicken, grilled salmon over rice and some steak brochettes with grilled veggies over rice. We also ordered a nice bottle of wine! When in Socorro I highly recommend Yo Mama's for a good meal!

    A small mom-n-pop type restaurant that looked clean and well kept. I stopped for a late lunch - it was a good time as there were just a few other patrons. I ordered the Old School Club - it was plentiful, fresh, and just plain good! The fries were perfectly done too. And of course, I had to try their fried ice cream... it was such a final palate pleaser. The server was also very attentive and pleasant. I'll have to stop by there again when going through Socorro.

    Came into town and searched online where to eat. Thought we would try this spot. Lots of seating in this place. Friendly staff, pretty good recommendations. Margaritas were o.k., light poor on the Lemondrop Martini. The Harvest Burger is messy and delicious, fries are tasty. The reuben was alright. The turkey avocado club was fair. Chips and queso was tasty, the Chiles are local in all of their food, so if you like a little heat. Try some of the local goods.

    You're Grill the One New Mexico Green Chile Cheeseburger Challenge part 3 of 4 The relative newcomer in my Green Chile Cheeseburger Challenge, as they've only been in business for less than ten years (2015), as opposed to the rest of the competition which have all been around for a minimum of fifty years. But Yo Mama ain't no slouch, as despite the lack of experience, they managed to pull out a #2 ranking in my arbitrary poll. Let's get to the goods: Green Chile Burger (aka Bosque Burger): The Bun: Tasty artisanal bun that's only about a step-down from homemade. 4/5 Green Chiles: Check! There's nothing to complain about here, and they're the only one out of the four that used certified NM Green Chiles, if that means anything to anyone. 5/5 Cheese: The NM standard for cheese is a slice--or three--of American cheese - and they got that right here. 5/5 Ancillary topping: It does come with the standard burger accouterments of lettuce, red onions, pickles, and tomatoes. For a Green Chile Cheeseburger I feel like it should be served plain, as the veggies distract from the harmony of Chiles and beef, but I'll give them bonus point for the extra freshness of these ingredients. 4/5 Burger: Perfectly cooked burger that was juicy and had a nice char. The seasonings in the beef really paired well with the chiles, as the burger as a whole was a harmonious meal. 5/5 Fries: Their fries weren't housemade, but they were delicious and had a tasty seasoning on them. 4/5 Conclusion: Overall, at 27 out of 30 points, the Bosque Burger holds its own against some weighty competition and is a worthy runner-up in my competition. Other observations: *Abundant parking in a private lot *No outdoor dining *Local brews on-tap *Friendly service *Great branding and interior décor that really has the feel of a national chain.

    NM 01-2024 Socooro's Yo Mama's Bar & Grill for lunch today. Tony and I had our normal drink order and Tony chose the Yo Mama's Chicken sandwich with cheese bacon tomato & lettuce with BBQ Sauce and homemade chips. I chose the crescent sandwich with ham & turkey tomato and lettuce & bacon with mayo with fries. They were both very good. The tea was terrific The waitress was very pleasant and kept checking on us. She forgot my straw and had to ask for extra napkins twice but other than that it was great. Chef was on point!! Highly recommend!!!

Checked out Los Victor's and it seemed to foot the bill. Since we were driving through, we thought we'd each get a chimichanga. We figured a handheld chimi would be perfect car trip food. But... oh no... this chimi is HUGE, smothered, and no way we could eat these in the car, lol. We had no idea! We had to wait until we got home to even think about starting on these colossal things. And they were delicious! Not the best, but certainly very good. I was a little put off, as I had ordered the asada chimi... what I got was mostly beans and lettuce. But still... it was good... just that beans are off of my diet and there was very little meat. Overall decent experience and is our new "goto" when driving through. Sadly, though, it looks like they are for sale? There were plenty of customers when we got there and when we left. Not a hoard of them, but consistent. Both inside and at the drive-thru.

My son and hubby had the filet mignon, I had the ribeye and my daughter had the steak fajitas. All had great flavor and cooked to perfection! I had the loaded baked potato and salad sides and the boys had loaded potato and cole slaw. The potatoes were well cooked and the slaw was great. We also started with mozzarella sticks and a blooming onion. The onion was hand made from a fresh onion, hand cut and lightly seasoned and breaded. It was delicious by itself and with ranch. The mozzarella sticks were typical cheese sticks. We had a nice time and found a new favorite steak house. We enjoy supporting local businesses! Thank you!

That being said the one one positive was the veggies, they were delicious. I hope it's better next time I may try it again someday and pray the mashed potatoes are better. Also the restaurants ambience is nice.
