Passing through Raton, on my way down to Texas, I'd been craving Mexican food something fierce…read more Alfonso's to the rescue! The place is inside a gas station, but has an excellent variety of choices on their menu. Dining area is small, so best to ask for it "to go." I ordered the Chorizo Plate with flour tortillas ... or so I thought there'd be more than one. Actually it was one, BIG tortilla - more than enough to make some hand tacos with the chorizo. And what excellent chorizo it was! Flavorful and plenty of it. The beans and rice were equally tasty. For less than 12 bucks, this was a great plate of food. My only negative is service is s l o w ! There's one person taking orders from both the inside counter and the drive-thru. Likewise, there just one person preparing all the orders. BUT, if you don't mind the wait, it's worth it for great Mexican food.

From the street it's very humble and walking in we knew this was a great diner/cafe with humble roots. The pictures on the wall were fascinating dating back many years of the Raton history. Service was awesome and friendly. Plus, they always kept our drinks filled! I ordered the Deluxe Frito pie. It came with beans, Fritos, cheese (that was perfectly melted) ground beef and green chile sauce. I'm not a big spicy person and our waitress said it wasn't too hot. Well, she was right on. It was awesome. Just the right sized portion too. Great place for a good meal and phenomenal prices!

The portions were quite generous and the food itself was Ok. The service was friendly, the food came-up a bit on the slow side, but that's Ok. They're been in business over 100 years, so that's quite a claim. Picked it because the parking lot was full. [Really] :) Give PSS a try rather than the various fast-food places in town that you've likely tried elsewhere.

My wife's only complaint was that the burrito could have used more green chile, but we are NM natives so that is almost always the case. My own chorizo burrito was dripping a little red grease, which is the way it should be with chorizo. I couldn't really identify any red chile as the contents of my burrito were more of a mush of all the ingredients. Tasty, but not as appetizing visually as it could have been.

We walked into the Skillet around 5:45pm, were assaulted by loud music (which we expected from…read moreanother review), and sat at the bar in the quieter room of the restaurant. We ordered a burrito, fries and drinks - a Manhattan for my wife and a chocolate martini with Kettle One and crème de cacao for me. My wife's drink was to her liking, but the chocolate martini tasted like there was coffee liqueur in it. Since I didn't know when our waitress would appear again, I told the first person we saw - a young man - that I couldn't drink anything with coffee because of the caffeine, and that I needed it remade. He took it back to redo. While we were waiting, one of the pool players dropped a very loud f-bomb when he missed a shot. Then a young child began crying very loudly. The young man came back with the remade drink, and the coffee taste was gone. After it had been over 45 minutes I had to ask what looked like the manager what had happened to our burrito and fries. She went back to check, and our food finally appeared. The burritos were long on rice and short on carne asada, something we couldn't know until we started eating. At some point our original waitress came back, and my wife told her we had to send back my first drink because of the coffee ingredient. She denied any coffee-containing spirit was used, and walked away. We never saw her again. I had to ask the manager for an itemized ticket, since the ones we had were sign for a total amount only, with no itemized detail. Since the original waitress had closed out our ticket right after we ordered and had given us our check, we paid and left. No tip was left. If you want a properly-mixed drink, be prepared to explicitly request every ingredient. Better still, don't expect great drinks or food at this place - stay away. There are lots of other choices in Las Vegas NM.

A girl met us at the door with menus and let us know to order at the counter. We ordered and sat down. Food came out quick. We shared the Queso Dip - it was good flavor, little spicy. I didn't love the texture of the cheese, kind of gritty, but the flavor was great and chips great. I got Barbacoa Taco and my dad got a classic taco. They were good. Mine a little dry but put a lil queso on there and that was perfect. Loved the tortilla they use. One thing I didn't like, the kitchen had their music BLASTING, could hear that better than the dinning room music. Very overstimulating with two very different types of music going.
