Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in Ruidoso

Usually a line especially on the weekends but it moves at a decent pace. While waiting they have menus available. You order at cashier then sit at your table. Waiter will bring drinks and food. You can add on to order while you eat. When finished they pay. You can order from the bakery on the way out. If they are busy it’s easier to go out of the side door instead of front door. There are gluten free options available. If you have multiple food allergies you can order from sides where there are many options. There are a lot of drink options as well.

One of the best in Ruidoso! Be prepared for a line on the weekends, but the wait is well worth it. The staff is always incredible and the food is outstanding. Bonito biscuits and gravy and Chile Relleno Omelette especially. Cornerstone is a staple of all of our trips to Ruidoso.

11/9/25- Came here on a Sunday at about 930. Sat down right away. Staff attentive. Ordered the omelet with veggies and cheese. The potatoes were a little undercooked, that's why I'm giving it 4 stars. The French toast was decent, but I'm just not a fan of a huge baguette piece of bread for French toast. The biscuit was good. Ambience is decent. I then got 2 chocolate chip cookies, the white chocolate pistachio color, and a cinnamon bun to go. The cookies were incredibly average. The cinnamon gun was loaded with glaze so that was good. It could is been a tad better with the quality of the dough that was used. Overall I would come back again.

This is a great little bakery, shop, cafe, all in one right off the main drag in Ruidoso. Came highly recommend by 2 friends of ours in Texas. I see why. We came in ona. Sunday at 930am and had 0 wait time. Orders at the counter and got seated. Our plates came out in about 15 minutes. I got the green chili cheddar club sandwich (minus mayo) with a side of their house tomato basil soup. Both were absolutely delicious. I'd get this again for sure. My 10 year old son got the eggs and bacon with diced potatoes and a house baked biscuit. He ate almost all of it. My wife got the sausage and blueberry pancakes. She said they were good but not great, needed more blueberries inside them. Our server was very kind and tentative. The manager came over to check on us as did one of the cooks as well. Nice to see that endgag from staff with their guests. Prices are good for what you get as well. Will be back here again in the future when visiting town.

Once again, Aiden & Haile were fantabulous! Haile assisted my wife building her order according to her dietary restrictions. Aiden was very busy, but he & Amy made a point of stopping by our table. Emma was also very busy, but very attentive to our drinks. Another gold star for Emma was when we were parking. She was running across the parking lot after a male customer to give him his ballcap.

If you've ever watched the show Kitchen Nightmares, you know exactly what kind of establishment this is. We ordered 2 chile relleno omelettes, 2 Vietnamese coffees, and an almond croissant. The croissant and potatoes (that came with the omelette) were decent, but everything else tasted really off. The "green chile sauce" on top of the omelette tasted like a watered-down hollandaise that had gone bad. Coffee was really gross, with a 2 inch layer of water on the top, that even when mixed tasted of stale coffee and rancid milk. On top of that, the biscuit was soggy and falling apart. Our server was nice, but she genuinely seemed scared to get the manager for us. She also warned us that the restaurant can't "take off" items from your bill you don't like. The manager took 15 minutes to show up after passing my table once and not saying anything while bringing take-out to the kitchen. Not a good sign.... I told her it tasted off/spoiled, and she seemed skeptical. I offered to pay for what we ate (potatoes and croissant), and she agreed. She showed up with a bill of $30, which was only $1 less than the previous "discounted" bill that still charged us for the coffees and biscuit. I can't recommend this place at all, from the weird and off-tasting food, to the scared wait staff, and the Cornerstone of it all: the disrespectful and scummy management (see other bad reviews) that will nickle and dime you for everything.

Wonderful food! It’s obviously a local hotspot. There are tons of signs outside that direct people on where to go. Obviously this is the case because they get long lines. However, we didn’t experience that which was actually really nice. We sat outside and it was brisk, but they had heaters on, and it was nice. All the staff was really friendly and the owner came and checked on us. We ordered fresh squeezedorange juice, and decaf coffee (it was very weak…also, for a place with pretty fresh ingredients we were surprised they didn’t serve their coffee with real half-and-half. However, not a deal breaker). We got a cheese and berry danish thing that was excellent. I ordered a breakfast sandwich on a croissant with a side of potatoes and their special house cheesy sauce, which was delicious. It was a huge amount of food and I could only eat half of it. My husband ordered savory ham crepes which he said was very good. He ate it all but didn’t eat again until dinner. The portions were hefty! It’s a fun vibe and I would highly recommend going here for breakfast, whether you want something on the lighter side, something sweet or something hearty. They had gluten-free options as well. They can accommodate large groups so I think it’s the perfect spot for families to meet up!

This is a nice cozy place with very friendly service. We arrived around 12:30pm during the lunch rush and was lucky to find a table. There is outdoor seating which I imagine is wonderful during the warmer months. I enjoyed the spinach mushroom quiche with a side Caesar salad while my lunch buddy had the green chile stew soup and side salad. The best part of the meal was the buttermilk pie. It was not too sweet, just right, and the custardy filling was satisfying. If you're in Ruidoso, be sure to check this place out!

Nice place! They have indoor and outdoor seating. Nice healthy menu. Reasonable prices. Great service. I will definitely come back!

Amazing, outstanding and delicious! We were in Ruidoso and heard this was the place to get pie and boy were they right! They have an entire case full of flavors that change daily. From their famous buttermilk to the classics like cherry and apple, they have a pie for everyone. Their pies were so good I tried 5 different flavors; coconut cream, coconut meringue, fruit pie, and chocolate cream. Everything was outstanding but my favorite was the coconut cream. Pro tip, if you want to take a whole pie home you can and I did! I didn’t have the pleasure of enjoying their many delicious options for lunch but next time I’m back I will.

My family and I stopped in while visiting from out of state and were very impressed. Simple menu with excellent food. The staff all seemed to be family and were exceptionally kind. I highly recommend the green chile and ham quiche! You have to stop here while in Ruidoso!

One of southern New Mexicos hidden gems! Great tasting food and excellent service. Fresh homemade deserts, pastries and pies. Daily specials. Patio dining. Award winning buttermilk pie.

Best place for lunch in town. Take your lunch outside in the shade and enjoy the atmosphere with the best service in town. There are lots of daily specials of treats and drinks- delicious! They have good kid-friendly options and high chairs available! We had a great time! Much better than the cornerstone bakery!

I love everything about this restaurant. The service is 5 stars! The staff is always smiling, friendly, and attentive! The sandwiches are delicious and the servings are more than enough. I’ve tried various soups and enjoy all of them but my favorite is their French Onion Soup, absolutely delicious. My kids love the Mac and cheese. My husbands favorite meal here is their Crab Salad Sandwich. I’ve tried their pies and they are also satisfying and delicious, you need to give one a try. This is one of Ruidosos hidden gems that you need to try! They have inside sitting and patio sitting as well.

Second best burger I've ever had in my LIFE. Only burger better was from Killer Burger in Portland, OR. I got the Hawaii 5-0. JUICY, smokey bacon, stretchy cheese, crispy fries, and tons of flavor. I highly recommend this to anyone that wants a casual dining experience and incredible food.

Had a great hatch chilies cheese burger with a side of bottle caps, they were hot don't think I would of been able to eat them without the ranch dressing. Fry's are crispy and good flavor.

Best burgers in Town! The bacon cheddar tastes great, with battered fries, theyre awesome. It gets very crowded, so come with some spare time, cause most of the time youll be waiting. The place can get a little messy, so be patient.

Best burger place in ruidoso. I ordered the Hatch Chile burger and my partner got the Loan star burger. The service was quick, they were attentive. Food got to us quick and everything was delicious. We will be back soon ♥️ Fries were great as well. I am a little concerned about the garage doors. They look a little scary

The Front Desk is Impeccable with taking orders. Detailed and communicated thoroughly. The food is Real. So it takes a bit. But entirely worth it. If you're okay with midtown , get yourself to hall of flame.

They got nothing but the best! I just can’t stop falling in love with all of these stunning burgers! We’ve been visiting ruidoso since I was young and I can tell that there’s no other place where I feel any happier. Such a delightful experience.

If you are not good at spicy, dont add more spicy stuff in the green hatch 🍔 like I did!! 🔥but seriously, this burger is really delicious!!

Stopped by on the way to our cabin and sure glad we did! We were greeted and seated promptly. The restaurant was cozy and quiet with a very welcoming atmosphere. Every employee we interacted with was attentive and polite. Herschel took great care of us, a true example of what great customer service looks like. We ordered the Rio Grande Burger and Hatch Chicken Alfredo, both were amazing. The burger had a thick and juicy patty with plenty of fresh toppings. The Alfredo had an amazing balance of flavors. Both portion sizes were great for the price. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend you stop by Rio Grande Grill and Tap.

I'm not sure where the negative reviews come from BUT I'm disappointed I haven't been here sooner! Service, food, atmosphere - LEGIT! You're missing out if you don't try it!

We sat on the patio, it was absolutely beautiful! Our server was so kind to my little one. The atmosphere was amazing. The food was even better!! I loved coming here and will definitely be coming back!

Perfect weather for lunch on the patio. Daily special steak & shrimp scampi. Delicious! Our server was awesome too.

Wow. How a year can change a review. I will not be coming back here and cannot recommend. We visited for my birthday dinner and we ordered some wings w the honey-sriracha sauce and 2 ribeye steak meals. The wings a year ago were perfect, large and crispy…tonight they were still crispy w a good flavor but half the size that they were last year. The ribeye steaks though…absolutely terrible. We expect a ribeye to be juicy and tender, but these did not look like ribeye steaks and they were extremely lean and had zero flavor. I now know why the staff had asked us if we wanted steak sauce! My steak had a super intense char taste to it, and it tasted off, and a it had tough texture; the mashed potatoes were weirdly sweet; and the fresh vegetables were sour. The manager/chef came out and I explained I did not like any of my meal but he was more focused on explaining that the steaks were in fact ribeyes and he trims the fat so he isn’t charging $40 for a fatty piece of meat…then still charged us for the full price of both steaks. I had 3 bites of my steak and one bite of each the mashed potatoes and vegetables, it all tasted off to me. I felt as if I was being ignored and the manager/chef was not acknowledging me. He was rude and argumentative when explaining his cooking method and did not address my dislike of my entire meal. We will not be visiting this location again, and, as a local, I do not recommend. I will say that our waitress was very nice and attentive and she apologized to me. 5/9/2025 ————————————————————————— Made it out to Rio Grande to try out their wings and other things, we've been hearing good reviews from others. We were not disappointed!! The parking looks bad from the street but there's some behind the building. We ordered wings, spinach artichoke dip, fish & chips and finished it off w a carrot cake. Also ordered drinks; root beer and the hard tea. The wings were fantastic! Perfectly crispy and not too saucy. We ordered 2 orders of 6 so we could try both the spicy boq and the honey sriracha sauces. They were not too spicy or too sweet, a very good blend of the flavors. The carrot cake was devine!! The best cake we have had in Ruidoso so far! Our server actually recommended the cake to us and I'm very glad he did! The spinach artichoke dip was okay, I wouldn't order it again. It was a little too cheesy and more spinach than artichoke and was lacking flavor. The fish & chips were alright, again I wouldn't order them a second time. A little too much batter on the fish and the tartar sauce was bland and the coleslaw was watery. The chips were perfect though!! Best fry I've had around Ruidoso so far! The root beer was delicious and their hard tea was pretty good, we were offered a chance to buy some to-go which was cool. The restaurant is really cozy too, all wood and warmth, and the tables are located upstairs. That was nice bc you can be away from the bar area to enjoy your meal w a more restaurant feel upstairs. Definitely recommend and we look forward to going back to try some burgers and steak!

We came in for an early dinner on a Saturday and were seated right away. We got a flight of hoppy beers and jalapeño poppers to start. We realized early on that service was slow and ordered our drinks and food before we wanted them. For our entrees, my daughter got the lasagna, I got the crispy chicken sandwich, and my husband got the elk burger. Food was pretty good, portions are massive!

Great place in Ruidoso to eat and have beers. The food was excellent, our party had everything from salmon, Rio Bravo burger, elk burger, tender basket and Manicotti. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS. The waitstaff was excellent and friendly. Very accommodating and it had a great atmosphere.

Michael J’s wasn’t exactly what I would imagine authentic Italian food to be. First, our server was very nice, pleasant and talkative. She did have a family member seated in our area so more attention was paid elsewhere but it wasn’t like we couldn’t drink wine and enjoy the patio. I will say that when your server tells you what her favorite dish is..you should probably order it. My table companion had the fettuccine Carmella and it was fantastic. It could be over the top if the pasta was made in house. It was still very good and should be highlighted as the signature dish. The veal parm?? Not so much. Overly breaded which didn’t bind to the paper thin cutlet. It just became a soggy mess as it was placed on top of the pasta. Lacked that kick of Italian seasoning. The mussels were the big disappointment. A $15 price allowed you 8 mussels. We were sharing the bowl because the assumption was that it was your typical large bowl of steamed mussels. We should have been told that one serving was not adequate. The price per mussel breaks out to $1.87 per. We aren’t cheap but this isn’t worth the price. The broth tasted great but it’s wasted as there wasn’t anything to enjoy it with except an order of bread. High expectations prior to dining there. The staff obviously works hard because the kitchen is booming. If we go back we at least know what to and what not to order.

We were a little late to make reservations for a Saturday night, and unless we wanted to eat later, the only availability was in the bar. We arrived promptly at 6:30pm for our dinner reservations. We were greeted warmly and led to the bar, where we opted to seat close to the fire. My wife was not in the mood for alcohol, but they have a fairly extensive wine list- all pretty main street. I opted for one of their draft beer. Our server/ bartender took our order quickly, and it wasn't long before we got our food. Kitchen was pumping out food that evening. I started out with their side Caesar salad that I added to my entree. Dressing was excellent. I followed with Fettuccini Carmella in a rich tomato cream sauce loaded with chicken, prosciutto, spinach and a couple large shrimp. It was extremely flavorful. I truly enjoyed it. My wife ordered the Chicken Parmigiana and her only complaint is that the bread crumbs coating were too mushy- pasta and sauce were good. Our bartender/server Shawn was very personable, efficient, and gave us excellent service - which is always a nice plus to a good meal. Very enjoyable dinner and a must try.

Husband and I ate here when on vacation. I had chicken piccata and my husband had seafood pescatore. Both entrées were DELICIOUS! The wait person was very nice service great. The bread offered was very skimpy but good. Overall a good, moderate priced restaurant. Recommend making reservations.

Overall a wonderful experience. The waitress helped me decide on several food options as I am pregnant and being careful with food choices. Evelyn was just fantastic. Amazing attitude and great attention to detail! 10/10 will recommend. Oh the food was fantastic, too!

My husband and I were recommended Michael J’s by a friend. Can’t recommend this place enough!! Delicious food, incredible service, extremely quick turnaround, and unbelievable prices. We enjoyed it so much, we came back the next night!!

"The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented, while our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made excellent recommendations. "This was an amazing dining experience! The staff made it special, and every dish was Absolutely PERFECT. The music was just set the ambiance. I gave 5 ⭐️ but it really deserves a 10+. Thank you Chef.

Came here to satisfy my part-Italian genes. My satisfactory foods are the Lasagna, Merlot wine glass, and Tiramitsu.

Still delicious best home cooked meals!!! Tina's Cafe never disappoints!!! This is our go to restaurant in ruidoso.

If you would like red spicy and green creamy spicy huevos rancheros this is the spot. My waitress Ms Dixie gave me an excellent experience.

Great place to eat and enjoy a morning coffee. The prices are very reasonable and service is great. I absolutely recommend it.

Stayed in Ruidoso for five days and had lunch and dinner at different locations throughout our stay and I have to say that Tina’s Cafe had the best tasting food. If you’re looking for good home style cooking, this is the place.

I came in for the candy pig cinnamon roll but was bowled over by the steak tacos and the super friendly service. The host, server and even the cook were very sweet and clearly wanted to ensure I enjoyed my meal and had everything I needed. Definitely worth a stop!

Decided to check this place out due to many good reviews. Unfortunately, we weren't that impressed. I asked for an omelet, pretty sure they messed it up and just scrambled it. The biscuits looked soft and soggy as if they were reheated. The cinnamon roll was delicious, but not worth $7. The service and atmosphere was OK, but the music was a little loud and made it hard for the waitresses to hear our order. Finally, for some reason two out of the four of us had stomach aches afterwards. We will be trying a different brunch location next time.

Yes! I’m glad I tried this place! I’ve lived in Ruidoso for a few years now and never gave it a try because someone said the owner was racist. I decided to form my own opinion and glad I did! The food is really good and I absolutely love the atmosphere. Our waiter was also super friendly and courteous and attentive. This will be a restaurant my family and I will frequent. The Green Enchiladas were tasty and cheesy, and my husband enjoyed the Migas. The only thing I didn’t like were the potatoes that came with breakfast, I found them bland. This place also has live music on the weekends, you’d have to follow them on Instagram to find out what dates. They have a selection of beers, cocktails, and wines. Oh and they have pitchers of mimosas! Stop by and give it a try!

My husband and I visited on a Tuesday evening before Thanksgiving. They were pretty busy but we were able to get a table. Service was very good and quite fast. Prices were reasonable for the portions we received. The drink from the bar was very good. My husband ordered a burger and he said it was very good. I tried his fries and they were good. I got the Brussels sprouts and they were DELICIOUS and hot (also on the spicy side). My mushroom tacos however felt undercooked (shrooms were still kinda raw-ish) and they were luke-warm. Tortillas fell completely apart. Burger was also warm but not hot. My side of rice and beans were good. I didn’t feel like sending the food back-I should have because I hate food that’s not hot. All in all, decent. I loved the vibe of the building and its architecture and the staff was very friendly. I’d say you would do well to go and get apps and drinks. When I’m back in town I’ll give it another try since they offer vegetarian food.

The service here was fantastic, friendly, attentive, and the manager was so kind. Unfortunately, the food really missed the mark for me. I ordered the veggie enchiladas, but the chile sauce was overwhelmingly sweet and so hot that I couldn’t taste anything else. The heat and sugar completely overpowered the dish, which made it unpleasant to eat. I really wanted to like it, but the flavors just didn’t work for me

We're vacationing in Ruidoso from Texas, and the wife and I wanted to go on a date (without the kids) before heading home. We decided on Grill Caliente, which was good overall. We arrived about 45 minutes before closing. The wife had the chile rellenos with the red sauce, and I had the Carne Asada. Both dishes were really good; however, the rice on my wife dish was raw. We informed the wait staff to let them know and enjoyed all other parts of our dinner. I do recommend Grill Caliente, though.

the restaurant's friendly staff, delicious food, and cozy atmosphere. Some customers mention specific dishes they enjoyed, such as the green chili cheeseburger and the fish tacos. Others appreciate the reasonable prices and generous portion sizes.

Flavorful enchiladas. I love the Green Chile Chicken enchiladas, they are always packed with delicious flavor and have a spicy kick to them. The black beans and rice that accompany them are also flavorful. I love them. The Mushroom Swiss burger is a crowd pleaser, hearty and delicious. The Chile Rellenos were also satisfying and delicious but they do pack a kick so if you don’t like spicy food, pick something else. They are really good though. This place offers various alcoholic drinks, the margaritas are a personal favorite. They have a variety of local and imported beers on bottle. There’s plenty of seating indoors and on their patio area, which is enclosed so you’re not really sitting outside. The service has always been friendly and fast and the restaurant is always clean. It’s kid friendly, group friendly, and also has a small selection of vegetarian options. Both my family and me enjoy this restaurant and have never been disappointed with the food, it’s tasty and satisfying.

Was excited to try this highly rated restaurant. Went on a Wednesday night and there was a good atmosphere and the service we recieved made us feel at home. The food however was subpar. The fried green chilie rings were probably the best thing. The green chilie enchaladas were the worst that I've had. The best way I can describe the enchiladas were as if they were a chalupa. The meat was unseasoned dark chicken meat. The plate was lacking flavor and texture. Stuffed poblano was OK. Nothing special. Would be nice if they offered a beef option. The queso burger was just awkward. I got more bread than meat. The meat that I did get did taste good, however there was just too much bread. The bread was a wheat bun. I would stay away from this option. I may have chose the wrong plates, but from the expierence that we had I won't be going back.

Food is just not as good as it used to be. Too many changes. They did finally get their beer, wine and spirits. $16 for a glass of Sauvignon Blanc! Wow! The pour was extremely disappointing at that price, and an entire bottle of the same wine is less than $16 at the store. I told myself I would try this place one more time since the new ownership, and I am sorry to say we won't be back.

We arrived with a party of 11 people. The hostess was extremely friendly. We waited 10 minutes for an area which held our entire family. Very clean restaurant with plenty of options to choose from. To access the kids menu, you have to use the QR code to load the full menu. I went with the stuffed green chilies mixed, one cheese and one ground beef. They were battered and cooked perfectly. My husband with the combo plate of enchiladas, tacos, and green chilies. The server was very attentive and the food was delivered in a timely manner. The price was affordable. Definitely recommend this place!

The service is friendly but very poorly trained. We ordered margaritas and our apps. Then the server came back and took our lunch order. We never saw her again until after 30 minutes when all of our food and drinks came out at the same time. To top it off she forgot 1/2 of our order. The green chile enchiladas were excellent and the green chile strips were great too bad everything came out all at the same time. The margaritas are not worth it.

We really enjoyed this place. The NM egg and the red sangria were fantastic. The fajitas had lots of veggies and the green chili chicken enchiladas were stuffed with chicken

Arrived mid-afternoon so not a very big crowd. We asked for a window seat and we're seated right next to the kitchen. We ordered a couple of supposedly renowned margaritas and after several minutes the waitress came back and informed us that we'd have to wait a while because the bartender had step away. After 10 or 15 minutes, I became impatient and just ordered a beer. In the meantime we ordered a bowl of tortilla soup. Let's just say it was awful. We both tried it and it was just awful and we had it returned. When the waitress took the returned to soup up to the Cook window, she very loudly proclaimed that we did not like our soup and mentioned that we would like a refund. Just very unprofessional and uncomfortable to do it so loudly. We then ordered our entrees and waited probably 20 minutes and at which point we became impatient over the slow service and left. I might also add that the cleanliness of the service area around the kitchen window was very lacking. We will not be going back

We had the BEST servers! So friendly and helpful. The food was beyond delicious and the prices are low. Atmosphere was inviting and comfortable. You must try the chili rellenos. Very authentic and entirely tasty. Too bad we were in Ruidoso only 3 days, but we came here over and over. For a laugh, ask for a RED STRIPE. (Sorry; inside joke with me and the delightful server, Samantha, who was fantastic!).

The food was okay. I had fajitas. They were under seasoned. My wife and son had the green chili enchiladas. They were too peppery. The green chili strips weren't peeled or roasted. It would have made them better. The server was friendly. It took bit to get our appetizers, food, refills, etc, but that could have also been the kitchens fault. If the kitchen is behind, the servers will be behind. The atmosphere was nice. We sat on tiered level, and the steps were a bit high. It could be dangerous for elderly or anyone who may have a little too much to drink.

We waited about 10 minutes just to have our drink order taken, and another 10–15 minutes before the guacamole arrived. The guac itself was disappointing — it tasted like plain mashed avocado and was missing the usual tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and lime that give it flavor. The rest of the food wasn’t great either. The portion of rice and beans was very small, and the tortillas were extremely greasy. The atmosphere could also use some improvement — for a Saturday night at a Mexican restaurant, having some background music would make the place feel more inviting. The biggest concern was the wait time and overall service pacing. We also overheard another table nearby complaining about the lack of refills, cold food, and the long wait, so it wasn’t just our experience. I do want to mention that our server was excellent. I didn’t get his name, but he was attentive and friendly. The issues seemed more like a kitchen or management timing problem rather than the server himself.

The atmosphere had me expecting the pizza to be 10/10. We had 3 pies, and some spicy cheese bread. The pizza was pretty good. Fresh ingredients but the crust wasn't ideal. I would buy the pizza again. The breadsticks were a let down, i liked the spicy tomato sauce it was served with, just not the breadsticks. Based on the reviews people seem to really love this place.

Cafe Rio is amazing for a few different reasons. First and foremost Gloria!! She was our waitress both times we ate there and she treated us like she had known is forever. Second. Their pizza is amazing. We had the white the first time we went and the Tuscan the second tike both were amazing. Their garlic bulbs were also really really good. If you go after 4 or so be prepared to wait and this isn't their fault. They're the only thing open. So the locals and the tourists are trying to get in the place. The do table service, phone orders and have a walk up window. The waiting for your food isn't on them but trust me, they're worth the wait.

Wow, this is the absolute best pizza we have ever had. We got the white pizza and added brisket and green chilies and also the meat pizza. Both pizzas was absolutely amazing. We only had about 5-10 minute wait. This is what was left. Highly recommended.

Food was amazing! We loved the pizza, the cream sodas and dessert (cheesecake was my favorite) Staff was friendly but they were really busy so don’t expect the best service, also plan to wait a good while for your food. Totally worth it though!

It's an unassuming little restaurant with the most incredible pizza and appetizers, and very pleasant and friendly staff. Try it you will be happy you did.

Stopped on our way back to Lubbock from Alamogordo and ordered a Tuscan. OMG!!! So good. Nice thin crust, fresh toppings and cooked perfectly. Every time we’re in town, we see a line waiting outside the door and now we know why. If you love, good pizza, you have to try this place

Delicious. If you are coming here for a fire-roaster fluffy crust, this ain't it. But if you are coming here for a huge foldable pizza with delicious top tier ingredients, this is the place to be. That 20 inch is ridiculously large! Single slices are also a healthy portion size. Great flavor in every bite. Will definitely be a regular when we come back to Ruidoso!

We had breakfast this morning and it was delicious. I had the Chicken fríen steak with over easy eggs and a biscuit with gravy and my wife had the French Toast with scrambled eggs and bacon. We both really enjoyed our breakfast. Definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting a great country breakfast. Coffee was great too!!

First time here, excellent choice for breakfast. Did not take more than 10 minutes to get a seat, but we got there at the right time. I had the enchilada omelet. Oh my goodness, the flavors were absolutely delicious.

If you are anywhere near here, you MUST stop by! We waited for about 40 minutes, so recommend calling ahead. But the food was totally worth it! Giant portions and everything tasted amazing, with great service to boot!

This is the second time I’ve come here and received sub par service. The hostesses are not friendly. The waitstaff was not attentive. I asked for extra crispy hash browns and couldn’t even get that after waiting 20 minutes for the food on a Monday morning. I have had the dessert breakfast and that’s what the stars are for. For the price and the service 👎🏽.

We came for breakfast and it was amazing! My husband got the whole hog and I got pumpkin pancakes. They were delicious! Or server was amazing, attentive, and prompt. I highly recommend this place as it was comfortable, quick, and friendly service. If you like pancakes, French toast, or big meals this is a great choice.

Jasmine said the pancakes are excellent. They are outstanding; the best I’ve ever had. Huge portions, made from scratch pancakes and waffles. Creative options and combos. Jasmine was an excellent server; they’re very fortunate to have her on their team!

The food is always amazing but I had to wait 1 hour and 17 minutes to get seated with the hostesses failing to communicate with each other and people who came after us being helped before us. Absolutely loved this place and I’m a regular here but the hostess training leaves much to be desired and as a local this has been the worst experience at a restaurant here. No apologies whatsoever for skipping us after such a long wait and coming up to check how far our name is a couple times. For such good food your hostess is quality is shockingly poor. They also communicated that the wait time will be 35 to 45 minutes so that was also a lie and no communication from them to us and the other customers that the wait time will unfortunately be longer.

Let’s start with the positives- we were able to secure a table as the last walk in for the patio. The margaritas were heavy poured if that’s your jam. The bus boys kept the table clear and water filled. They comped my mom’s steak. Now the negatives- our dinner service took 2 1/2 hours outside for some of the most mediocre food I’ve ever had. My chicken fettuccine Alfredo tasted like bland gravy and the chicken was burnt. My mom’s steak was ordered well done. Idk how you burned the outside of a steak and the inside was still pink, but bravo. My husbands chicken fried chicken had a very odd taste to it and the twice baked potato was bland. My dad enjoyed his steak, but he likes his steak messed up anyway so I’m not really surprised. Some seasoning could go a long way on this food. Our server was often unseen. The ambience was good but if the food had been better this could have been a solid 4. Not worth the price tag of $200 for 4 people.

We made a reservation and were seated immediately. Our server was very nice and personable. Everything took so long to come out from drinks, appetizers, salad and the main course. The drinks were strong. We each typically drink 2 alcoholic beverages when out to dinner. I only managed 1 tonight and felt a little buzz (which is not what I want at dinner). The appetizer and rolls were delicious. The salad was average. The sides were good. The steaks seemed a little under cooked and had NO flavor. It was a real disappointment considering it took them 50 minutes to get them out. By that time, we had no appetite left. It just took everything too long to come out. I doubt we will ever go back.

This is an incredible steakhouse. I had the 6 Oz. Filet. My husband had the Elk tenderloin. Both entrees were delicious! The wait staff was nice and service was perfect! Highly recommend this restaurant. 😊😋

I had a craving for a steak and baked potato, and this place really hit the spot. We order the bacon wrapped chicken livers. They where okay but a little over cooked. I ordered the 6oz fillet and my wife ordered the coconut shrimp. The waiter also talked me into trying the green chili cream corn. My wife's shrimp where huge and delicious. I ordered my steak rare and it came out perfect. Honestly one of the best steaks I have had in recent memory. The baked potato was also perfect. The skin was nice and seasoned with a little crispness to it. The cream corn was too spicy for my wife and son but they where perfect for me. A nice balance of sweetness and spice. I had a really great experience overall. Had the liver not been burnt I would have given them a perfect score. Will definitely go back if we are ever in town again.

Last night I took my son and his family to the Texas club for dinner. We had reservations and were seated right away. The server took our order and salads were served however the rest of the meals took a long time. I ordered the hamburger steak medium well. I could not eat it. Dry and very well done. The green beans were canned mush. After 2 requests my grandson's cheese burger finally arrived after everyone was finished with their meal. He had rolls for his dinner. Definitely not the quality of food and service we expected.

We tried this place for the first time and were so impressed with the food. My steak, which I asked for medium rare, was not only cooked to perfection, it was delicious. My picky adult son got chicken and ate every bite of it. The next time we're in Ruidoso, we're definitely going back there for dinner.

As others have stated, the food takes way too long. Had a 530 reservation for 8 and the hostess acted she was doing us a favor greeting and seating us. We did not leave until almost 8pm. I worked in a restaurant and know large parties can take a little longer, but 2 1/2 hours was no beuno. We did not have separate checks. Drinks, appetizer, steaks, dessert were all very good. Our server was pleasant but clearly overwhelmed. She kept apologizing, and we actually felt bad for her. There were at least 3 busboys working that night, but none were helping her with refills, clearing plates, etc. We won't be going back.

I read the reviews before coming here, and they all basically said the food was really good, and the service was amazing. Honestly, their service was the first thing I noticed when we came in this morning. So friendly,comfortable, natural and the right amount of attentiveness. Loved it, and enjoyed the food! Will definitely go back next time we’re in Ruidoso!

Looking for a great little spot for breakfast? Look no further and head into Peña’s Place. The restaurant is small and definitely fills up but their food is worth the wait. From the friendly customer service to the delicious food you can’t go wrong. I had the breakfast burrito smothered in Christmas and I highly recommend. Also try their chips and salsa, it has a great bite to it.

The food is out of this world. The sauce offered on the enchiladas were delicious. Jimmy and the crew were so very friendly, we felt so welcome there. The salsa was the best. Thank you for the fantastic food!!

Food tastes canned except the eggs. Definitely a cheaper lazy version of traditional Mexican food. And up charge on everything. Small business but nickle and dimed for mediocre food.

Great people with great food! Service was top notch. The folks that own the place are so nice with a huge heart! Will definitely go there again.

We own a home here and live here half the year. I for some reason spent the last 20 years never having visited this place and it’s a huge regret!!! There is a popular Mexican restaurant in town that’s a tourist trap with awful food so I’m 1000% grateful for Peña’s. We go at least 2-3 times a month. I’ve never had one thing bad. I didn’t live the pancakes but the buckwheat was just different for me personally. I usually get the combo platter and they seriously have the best chili relleno ever. The green sauce is more of a tomatillo instead of hatch green which I appreciate because I do not do heat. Hubs like green too but prefers spicy hatch. The red sauce you can ask for extra heat. Unsure if you can with green. Chips are fresh and handmade. Salsa delicious. The waitress is the best. Chef’s been there for decades so it’s always consistent. It’s tiny inside but so have outside when seasonal. May have to wait. But worth it. Please not hours are early. Usually closes at 3pm.

Great service, and great good! Small restaurant with friendly staff. Mexican style restaurant, great for breakfast, delicious tortillas on the side. The food is not very spicy, so it's family friendly for the non spicy eaters in your group. The staff was super attentive and all wore masks.

We had a great experience here. We did the tasting along with an amazing charcuterie board. Our server, David, was amazing. We will definitely return and visit the Albuquerque location!

We highly recommend the Charcuterie board. It’s delicious! We also enjoyed a bottle of Unbearably Good and a bottle of Y’All’s Mamma Texas Moscato (no judgement 😂).

one of my favorite places and favorite wines to get! only 4 stars because the white lights are hideous. a warmer, yellow light ambiance would make this place even more AMAZING. staff, DAVID, was PHENOMENAL!

Very nice building and patio. The pours were small (3-4 oz). The semi sweet Reisling was nice. The staff wasn't very friendly and the service was not good at all. We ordered food and wine and no one ever came back to check on us. There was maybe 10 customers. As we left, we thanked the staff and said goodbye. No one responded. Not likely to return.

Stopped by this winery after shopping. This place did not disappoint. Janet was very knowledgeable on the wines and suggested the ones we would like based on our tastes. We would definitely come back for more wine and cheese. This place has a very good chill vibe. Try out the Demigod room when there. We ordered the baguette platter, which was really good. If you are unsure of which cider to get, try the cider flight. The pomegranate one I liked the best!!!

Become immortal…drink wine at @noisywaterwinery 🍷 My humans did a wine tasting and loved every single wine they tried! The charcuterie board was amazing and filling🧀🍇 I got so much love from everyone there, it is super dog friendly!❤️ This location is in the heart of Ruidoso, which has a relaxing vibe where you could stay all day to sip, then shop! You have to check out the Noisy Water Winery. -@brewskibrewreviews

Great people, great environment and great wine! What more can you ask for! Update: we've been members for several years now and couldn't be happier. This business continues to evolve in a oh so positive way. David always greets us with a big smile and great service. The wine is excellent and the charcuterie boards keep getting better.

Came here to get some work done and kill time. Great vibe to sip coffee, get work done and relax. Staff was very friendly and considerate.

I have special dietary restrictions and actually found some decently healthy snacks and shakes, which were all very good. I love the atmosphere & the barista was helpful and friendly. Located right next-door toSUBWAY®. Decent prices also.

Drinks were really fantastic so if it’s Java you want they have great choices, food is a lot smaller than I thought tho, it was tasty just half as big as I imagined it was. I do still think that it’s worth the try it’s basically a lot similar to Starbucks kind of food if you like that stuff. Coffee was better than Starbucks 100 percent. It was pricey but not if you’re used to the insane prices of Starbucks basic run of the mill food and drinks. Atmosphere was swanky and chill and the employee was very nice and helpful. When I went they had a sign on door CASH ONLY which isnt a big deal but still minor inconvenience since I Spent an additional $3 on ATM fee which they have located in the corner in case you’re all card/phone payments

Good coffee, good vibes. This was a nice place to stop for breakfast - I got a bagel and my friends got oatmeal/croissant sandwiches. We all enjoyed. When we stopped by it was cash-only but there was an ATM inside. Not sure if that was because a system was down or if that’s a regular thing. As for seating, most of the tables available are small two-seaters.

It's Good coffee. It's been in our town for a while. Not My go to place anymore as I'm loyal to the Kup. However this place has great baked goods and such. Choose this place OVER Starbucks. I beg of you. Their better. 😝

Great vibes…great coffee and service .! Will be back .!

Very friendly and helpful baristas. They have a lot of flavor options, and many of them are sugar free as well. Blueberry muffin was delicious. Got a SF white mocha w/ hazelnut. Very delicious! Comfortable chairs. Love the vibe here.

I came here on a daytrip to have some fun at the casino. I had a blast! The staff is extremely kind and hospitable. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. The only thing that was a negative, was the food at the Broken Arrow Tap House. The service was top notch, however I wasn't a fan of the food. It was extremely overpriced and the quality isn't what you expected for the price (I ordered a Alfredo dish and the sauce tasted like it came from a can -it was super gross). However, I do plan on going back and trying another restaurant.

A beautiful and romantic getaway spot! My wife and I recently visited the Inn of the Mountain Gods in Ruidoso, and it was absolutely breathtaking! Even though we didn’t stay overnight, the visit itself felt like a mini getaway. The views of the lake surrounded by mountains were peaceful and picture-perfect — the kind of scenery that makes you stop and take it all in. We spent time walking around the resort, enjoying the casino, and having a delicious meal while taking in the view. Everything was clean, relaxing, and welcoming. The staff were kind and made the experience even better. It’s truly the perfect spot for couples looking to unwind and enjoy nature’s beauty. We’ll definitely be back again soon! ❤️

I have never visited their rooms and have only checked out their casino. For the region, this casino is the best of the best. Technically my closest casino is sunland park but I rarely have a good time there. I go out of my way an additional hour to visit Inn of the Mountain gods. The casino floor is closer to “Vegas style” than any other casino in the El Paso/Ruidoso region and I highly recommend it if you’re into slots. The casino does offer some dealer/table games as well, such as poker and blackjack and craps roulette and more, with a few digital tables/games as well. You’re not allowed to drink on the general casino floor, but they do have some workarounds available to help us with the restrictiveness of our region. For example, there is a shot bar on the casino floor that’s opened on weekends or when it’s really busy, that allows a quick shot then back to the floor. There’s also a sports bar and a cigar lounge that also allows you to drink with some slot games. Keep in mind the slots in the sports/cigar area are bingo slots. So although they don’t allow a full freedom of where you can drink, I still appreciate the steps that they’ve taken in order for us to have a good time with the laws in place. I absolutely love the inn of the mountain gods and I’ve probably found myself going to this location about five times a year. Have fun and goodluck.

The Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casino is a gem in Ruidoso! The location is absolutely breathtaking—nestled in the mountains with stunning lake views, it’s hard to find a resort with a better setting. I spend summers in Ruidoso and frequently visit the casino, which never disappoints. The building is beautifully decorated, celebrating the Mescalero Apache tribe with thoughtful cultural touches. The rooms are spacious, well-appointed, and offer gorgeous lake views. Wendell’s restaurant is a standout—top-notch dining that elevates the experience. The Fourth of July fireworks are a highlight, truly unbeatable. Highly recommend this resort for a perfect blend of luxury, nature, and entertainment!

The house was beautiful and the views were spectacular! The house was rented for 4 days but they only left 1 small roll of paper towels and 2 small rolls of toilet paper in each of the 2 bathrooms. For the price paid the paper towels and toilet paper should have been stocked better for 7 people. Other than that it was a great vacation!

Amazing place and atmosphere. I lost my phone and Denny personally brought me my phone and helped me find it. All with the best attitude and utmost respect I hope you guys give Denny some type of incentive for reviews cuz he deserves it. Alone off of his customer service we will gladly come back. Thank you for a great experience and time

When we checked into our room the toilet wouldn’t flush but sounded like it was constantly filling up, maintenance came and fixed it. The shower did not have a shower curtain, when I called the front desk the guy said to look at the shower and I’d see it. I repeated there was no curtain so house keeping brought me a shower curtain. The shower itself is an abomination, the pressure is terrible, the shower head leaks everywhere, just rough all the way around. The in room dining service is really good, Wendell’s was really good, and the gambling was great, just wish the room was better.

Our family specifically went to town for THE noodles! It was raining so we were worried it wasn’t open. They were still up and running. Happy kids. We paid for 3 containers of teriyaki chicken. It was prepared fresh on the wok. Carrot, zucchini, broccoli, peppers & cabbage. Filled with fresh vegetables and the noodles cooked perfectly. The owners were very friendly & welcoming.

We went and got two vegan noodle and one teriyaki noodle. Mine had a good taste the vegan was ok. The complaint I have was the vegan one had more vegetables than noodles wish it had more noodles. The teriyaki was also lacking the noodles. For 15 bucks I think it’s over priced for not serving what they sell. The service was good and it’s made freshly but like I say for no noodles on there food and being served more vegetables for 15 is not worth it.

food was amazing! not to mention very good customer service and welcoming environment. definitely recommend

The noodles with stir fry veggies and teriyaki chicken were delicious and seasoned so so well! The menu is exactly that: stir fry noodles with veggies and teriyaki chicken. Simple but delicious. He has generous serving sizes which was enough for me to have leftovers.

Amazing! This place serves two dishes: one with chicken and veggies and one is vegan. I would highly recommend the chicken. So yummy the flavor is tasted all the way through and super tender. The noodles have a million vegetables in them (well not a million but it was amazing). Even the kiddos enjoyed this meal. If there was one place I could choose to eat in Ruidoso it would be this place. Seriously, give it a try! I was also impressed that they could put three boxes into a bag for the to-go order.

Absolutely delicious! All ingredients are fresh, and they're cooked outside. They use a really good portion of vegetables, chicken flavour is really good, they're just tasty! Definitely coming back!

Had these noodles over the weekend on our trip to Ruidoso. We were pleasantly surprised at how delicious they were We will definitely stop for some again on our next trip

Our waitress was super nice, the environment was friendly and the price was average for the food. You get bread and butter and the bread is soo soft!

We went on a non busy day at a non peak hour and had an enjoyable relaxed time at the restaurant. I felt the portions were good enough to not need to get the salad bar with my entree, and the food tasted pretty good. It was also very close to my accommodation at the Sitzmark so I walked there, just have to be careful as the sidewalk is narrow in some parts.

Their potato skins were great. I asked for medium rare and I got medium well on my steak. The baked potato was fully loaded and I enjoyed it. My granddaughter asked for well done on her steak and got a lot of pink in it. My son said is hamburger was good and juicy. Their creme brulee for the price was super plain, no fruits on it at all, and too much sugar which made it super sweet on the top.

Our waitress Devenie really needs to be retrained. As a table of 5 on a Monday early evening we were there for an hour and a half waiting and waiting and waiting. Other tables seated 10 minutes after us were served first by other waiters. She made 3 stops at our table in all that time. We had to get her from another table to cash us out so we could leave or we would have been there another half hour.

We were greeted and seated promptly, however it did take a while to get acknowledged by our waiter. The food was not as good as I was expecting. Salad bar and the appetizer sampler was the best thing out of the meal. We ordered the NY strip 10oz and a kids sirloin. The kids sirloin was very dry and tasteless and the NY strip was decent but a good steak should not require A1 to taste good. And it needed it. The sides were small in proportion, it was about a small scoop of mashed potatoes with gravy. I also ordered a pomegranate margarita which tasted like sweet and sour with juice, no liquor was tasted. I got more of a buz from a corona at Pizza Hut. Overall the food was overpriced and the service was not great. The sever could have been having a rough day so we still tipped fairly however I recommend going else where for a tasty meal.

Server was good. Attentive, a bit reserved but good overall. My meat plate was ok meat was 2 small thin pieces somewhat tender good but expected more quality meat for the place I ate in.The grilled jalapeño I ordered was soo good. Pricey at 4.00 (3.99) Baked potato with the works was ( no works) however good. The bread was delicious 😋 salad was yummm so my guess said. Soup to... sandwich plates with tasty fries yummm my other guess said 😋

This place has an amazing salad bar with soups and dessert and just about everything you could want, the food is amazing as well, highly recommended!👍🇨🇱

Best salsa in Ruidoso. This was our second visit and the food was excellent again. We had chicken fajitas and Southwestern chicken. Their red sauce is so good and has a kick to it, and the green is also delicious. Friendly fast service. We missed out eating at this place for years because we kept coming at night and they are open mostly at lunch I believe. Ruidoso’s hidden secret!

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would! Me and my dad stopped in while visiting the area and were very impressed by the food as well as the service! We got the supreme nachos and the steak and cheese tacos and they were 10/10. Cannot recommend this place enough!

This may be the best hidden gem of a restaurant I have visited in years. Nestled in a little clutter of shops Comal stands out with wonderful food and an even more inviting staff. It is well worth stopping in for a meal.

Great place to eat at if you’re looking for real home cooked Mexican food. The food is delicious and the green sauce is amazing. I would give them 10 stars!

Steak burrito was Very greasy. The grease overpowered the flavor of the ingredients. Sauces and salsa were bland. Beans were good.

Comal is always our first stop when we visit Ruidoso. It is a small family owned Mexican food restaurant. We love the chili relleno plate. I forgot to take a picture this time so I am including a picture from our last visit.

Amazing food, affordable and fast service . A atmosphere that makes you feel at home

Worst Mexican food I have had. Chili not cooked, hard as a rock. Rice was mush, beans taste like dirt all served on a cracked plate. Maybe the bacteria from the broken plate will add flavor. The Shrimp cocktail was large and full of shrimp but bland as could be. Servers were great but avoid if you want good food!

Good Mexican food, decent prices, good portion sizes. Had the Plato Mexicano, the relleno was fantastic, green & red chile enchiladas were also delicious, taco was great too.

Outstanding "New Mexican" Mexican food which we consistently go back for every time we're in Ruidoso. Highly recommend the combo plate (ask for a fried egg on top!) And Chile Rellenos. The salsa isn't mild -- it has an extra local kick for sure! So if you normally get hot salsa somewhere besides the Southwest, you might first try the medium before graduating to hot. My wife enjoys their endless flavors of margaritas, and they've always got great recommendations for what the kids will eat. If there's seating available and the temperature is nice, sit outside on the covered patio. You might just see some wild horses while you dine! Service has always been above and beyond anytime we've visited. It's a family-operated establishment and everyone is really kind.

My dad really enjoys this place and was excited to take me. The service was good, very attentive and friendly. The food was fast, but it was so so for me. It wasn't bad but was very much lacking in flavor. I needed a lot of salt and pepper. Could've just been an off day as my dad enjoyed his.

The food was just ok. The salsa verde wasn’t good, to me. I got a cheeseburger which was standard. My other half got a taco plate. Which was “just ok”. Our server was very attentive. They didn’t have booth seating, which is something we prefer, although not a deal breaker.

Average place. Got the ground beef tacos🌮. The tacos themselves were decent. They were a bit plain. Not much flavor. But the shells are good. The rice and beans are ok🫘🍚. The portions for those are a little small compared to other places. The waitress was also not the friendliest. She seemed a little grumpy. But it’s a cute spot, heard the margaritas🍸 are really good. Come for the vibes, not the food lol.

Chips that were continuously served were very Stale, to the extent that I could hear it in the crunch when my daughter took a bite. Unfortunately that was discovered AFTER ordering Queso. The Queso was very runny as if mixing Velveeta and Green Chile stew juice. And Alas the beans were runny on our dinner plates as well. Wouldn't say that I feel this was worth my money and I'm quite disappointed with my Experience.

Ordered a stuffed sopaipilla, it was meat, beans and lettuce thrown on top of a 1 inch thick piece of doughy bread. They should learn how to make sopaipillas or take the stuffed sopaipilla off the menu

This is the best restaurant for me & my family when we come Ruidoso. I been coming here for years with my dad since I was young & now have been blessed to bring my girls. I love this comfort homemade food & the customer service is so welcoming & they make you fill at home. Luv Tha Tegeda Familia

This place always has the best green chile pork burritos. This is a small place but the red chile is amazing the chips and salsa is delicious THE ICE IS GOOD PERFECTLY CRUSHED

Hole in the wall with great Mexican food. Atmosphere is 4 only because it’s a hole in the wall and not much seating. We didn’t mind the small space but others may.

Customer service could be better! My kids wanted an evening snack, chips and guacamole. They put their order in, the lady gave them guacamole salad. I explained what they wanted and she pretty much got after me like I was her child. Telling me not to (let my kids order since they dont know how to order). I didnt know she didnt understand the difference between guacamole and guacamole salad. So I asked can I order a side of guacamole, she tells me all shes going to do is put the guacamole salad in a container and give it to me, I said I just want guacamole, no lettuce etc. She told me ill have to wait because they are busy. Ended up asking for a refund.

Absolutely worth it. Im skeptical about Mexican food because I love it hot hot. A lot of places claim to have spicy food, but it doesn't do anything for me. Ole Taco definitely hit spicy on the nail. The salsa has some decent kick. I ordered the adovada chimi and it was delicious. I also got the chile cheese fries and they had a good kick.

Food was good not great but service was amazing and I would give it a 4.5 if I could. Not the most authentic Mexican tasting food but was still good. Can’t beat the prices for amount of food they give either. Would eat here again

We loved this place and highly recommend it! Cute atmosphere with good food and the show far exceeded expectations. Might just have to come back for the Christmas event. Great with kids too.

Buy your tickets in advance. This place is great for families. Lots to do for kids but if you’re an adult , there’s lots of downtime from 5:30-6:45p till the gun fight starts. Gun fight was a fun show for all. The dinner was a lot of food and you could even go back for seconds. The western band was great. They all can play several instruments and sing! Overall, great experience and would recommend. We even saw an elk right by the teepee.

We had a great time. We’ve been several times and it’s always a fun experience. If you come to Ruidoso/Lincoln County, it is a must do activity. Great food. Large portions. Beautiful music. Fun comedy. It’s a must do.

We had a wonderful time. The staff was extremely welcoming, the food was delicious, and the entertainment was fantastic. I would highly recommend this place for an evening of fun!

great family friendly fun! lots of stuff for kids, alcohol for the adults. a great show and dinner. had a wonderful time

Place is great for adults, kids and everyone in between. It's setup like an old western town. Country store. Ice cream shop. A blacksmith. Teepee. Church and a big one eating area. They have music before the show on traditional instruments. They have a western style shootout fun and appropriate for all as they make it fun. You can ride a horse or a poney for a $5 fee. (Good horsey) the food is brisket or chicken and you can grab 2nds. Afterwards they play delightful old timey music. Place is absolutely a must. Loved it all the way. My only non gripe is I wish they played the tunes from back to the future part 3! Hahaha. I joke. Great place. Will be going back for Christmas time as I hear it's fantastic! Thank you flying J ranch.

What a fun place! Lots of music, including 2 fiddle shows and a one hour music spectacular from a tight knit family/band. Loved the yodeling x christmas songs, in which grandma stole the show with a hilarious rewrite of the 12 Days of Christmas song. The food was honestly pretty good too - great biscuit and quick service.

Ruidoso is my vacation spot, and I will always come in here to get my favorite boba drink. Best one I've ever had!! 🍫🍭🍬They have a fun way to create your own bowl of goodies. The cheese cake is a 10/10.🍬🍭🍫 Most importantly, the customer service was excellent. Very nice people. They helped us understand how to build a goodie bowl and our boba drinks. 🍨🍭You can make a lot of fun stuff here! I really like how this store is centered around that, and the vibes put it all together. 🍭 🍨 If I lived in Ruidoso, I'd be in here all the time.

Super cute, eclectic, unique froyo shop!! Kids 17-4yrs enjoyed our visit and the variety of treats. Must visit when in Ruidoso!

Great Store, very cute very good quality items too, I would definitely recommend it 100% the cutest store in the Village. They have boba froyo + A bunch more, Greatest candy shop I’ve ever been to in my life!!!

It really good my kids and wife really love it we will definitely be coming back

Some of the best boba I’ve had! Definitely would come again, good frozen yogurt too! Love this place!

As its name describes it, this is a place for sugars! Cute atmosphere, yet bold inspiring messages for women, the place definitely has its own vibe. Frozen yogurt was delicious, service very good.

Love the store and the variety that they have. I came for the cheesecake it looks Delicious

Love what you’ve been doing here! The bowling has always been great and now the place is even more family friendly. We spent $10 on an arcade pass after bowling and it lasted quite a while. The staff is very friendly and helpful as well!

Small but FUN! I love coming to this bowling alley, not only is the food really good but the place is kept clean, the prices are reasonable and the lanes are well maintained. Inside the bowling alley are 10 bowling lanes, a bar with TVs and Dart boards (only 21 and older allowed), a small restaurant/kitchen, a jukebox, pool tables, vending machines and a few arcade games. The restaurant serves salads, hotdogs, burgers, pizza, wings and various sandwiches. The wings are DELICIOUS, they are saucy and have great flavor. The supreme pizza was full of toppings and came in a good size, one pizza was enough for 4 adults and a child. The bar has various mixed drink options as well as pitchers of beer, IDs will be checked for age. Prices for bowling are as follows: HOURLY RATES - 1 Hour - $37.00 / 2 Hours - $49.00 or $5.25 per game and $3 shoe rentals. They do have specials, check their webpage for info. As far as bowling alleys go, this place may be small but in my opinion it is way better than the larger bowling alleys in bigger cities. The staff is always friendly as well. *They do have bowling tournaments so call ahead to make sure nothing is going on and that you will be able to get on a lane.

1 star is to many. The old saying goes “if it’s not broken don’t fix it”. This place was not broken but someone felt the need to “fix it”. As a long time Paton of the “Ruidoso Bowling Center” I’m very disappointed to see what the new owners have done with the place. Taking away the pool tables, black lights, and dart boards was a terrible move. The pool tables were always busy and this time I seen a few kids in there and not a single one using any of the “new” arcade games. Who ever felt the need to replace the black lights with regular lights and have every single light on in there must be blind. It was entirely too bright in there. Also there was not nearly as many tables and chairs there as there used to be. Felt like they don’t want as much business as they used to be able to accommodate for. Also what was wrong with the original pin setters? The new bowling pins on strings just didn’t have the same look and sound the original set up had. I noticed all new staff members minus 2. Didn’t see any of the staff I used to enjoy seeing and visiting when I would come in. After speaking with a bunch of friends, locals, and regulars that I once would go enjoy the original bowling alley with they all feel the same way and are very disappointed with the new environment there. I didn’t even bother to see if the “new and improved” establishment came with new pricing on everything as well. I went with the intention of bowling with a group of friends and after I spent all of 10 minutes in there looking around i left. My friends were equally as disappointed and left as well. The Locals year around hang out and family fun is gone.

It's a nice spot to bring the family. The food is decent. The beer options are great. They have a limited arcade, with pool tables and bar that has darts.

We love the remodel of the alley people don't like it because they're resistant to change. The bar makeover is fresh and inviting and has now the appearance of a sports bar. Caleb our bartender is friendly, kind, thoughtful and most of all funny. He's very attentive to his bar customers and is always smiling.

Had a blast bowling. We were just in town for one night and enjoyed the bowling ally. Nice cold beer and nice shoes

Good times...tho really really hot at the bowling lanes.....drinks are expensive and the food....now with all the new arcade games it's over crowded...

Great food, excellent service plus a grab and go...plenty of seating both inside and outside. Good variety of their own brewery specialties. Live music on weekends. Large tables for family seating and dinning with an awesome patio. Heaters thruout for comfortable atmosphere during cold months. Two full service bars with plenty of staff. Will definitely recommend.

Pizza was really good. We had the supreme pizza and everything was perfect thin crust the chiles were really spicy but good. Drinks were excellent. My wife had a watermelon margarita and she loved it. I had an old fashioned snd that was great. The beer was great too very cold so it was enjoyable.

Met some fun people here as we rested after a long hot day. My daughter enjoyed her Italian cream soda, I enjoyed a ginger beer, and my husband had a spring fling beer. We'll be back on another day to try the food as it comes highly recommended. The outside seating was lovely.

Atmosphere & Service was ON POINT. Ordered pickup & got all the back to my hotel room and was disappointed overall with the food/beverage. Must’ve ordered to-go on a bad night (I hope). Supreme Pizza & Pepsi. Pepsi was mostly water - no syrup (I poured it out) and the pizza lacked many toppings & had literally only 10 pepperonis and almost no toppings on 2 slices. Taste was just ok for me. I eat pizza all over the place, this did NOT impress, especially for $20. I’ll go back bc the place is rad, but no pizza for me! See photos.

Great beer, great coffee, great food! Beer: Fantastic beer, quality is on point Breakfast: the breakfast burrito was perfectly executed - crispy potatoes, crispy bacon, just wonderful. Coffee: their cortado was fantastic and the Tom had the espresso perfectly dialed in (something I don't see very often at a cafe anymore). Well done!

A definitely go back place. Beer options were nice. Even though you had to order from the counter or bar, I would still go back. Food was awesome and do recommend the green chili burger. Wanted to try everything on the menu.

Came up to DOSO for the day. This place hit the spot as meal 1 and hydration. We had tried the Meatzaa pizza very hardy definitely shareable, we had the squeaky cheese curds soooo good none made it back home jeje, smoked wings with buffalo man that yummy sauce, we tried the carne asada tacos pretty good, the beans no bueno had zero flavor, we tried a smashed burger ( hope to try the green chile one next time). Beers we had the bside blonde, breakfast club really good. Great service it is sit and then get up and order there are no waitresses to bring out food or refills. The view out back awesome.

1st time trying and will definitely be coming about again. From the moment we walked in we were treated with great service. The waitress was very informative about the items on the menu. The waitress was on top of everything. From our drinks to what we were ordering they made everything a wonderful experience. This place is better than Tokyo restaurant in SouthEast New Mexico. I highly recommend the Spider roll and Ruidoso roll that are pictured. Thanks Ruidoso Suhi for going above and beyond.

Noticed this place kind of tucked away, so me and my friend decided to check it out. The waiter we had was so nice and polite! He brought our food out quickly. Pretty sure he was the cook/owner too. Very clean atmosphere and great music selection. Good prices. The food was SO fresh and everything had a great quality. Lots of variety and other items available for the non sushi eaters. Best sushi in the Alamogordo/Ruidoso area, IMO. As a Ruidoso local, will definitely be coming back and recommending to friends!

Super cute atmosphere! Very calming and welcoming. It’s a small spot but just what you need for delicious and healthy fresh food! The staff was very friendly and attentive! We had a rice bowl with teriyaki chicken , the sushi was super fresh and the gyozas are mouthwatering! You can tell everything was prepared fresh!

A pleasant find. Often sushi places in mountain towns are disappointing, but Ruidoso Sushi had a solid selection and quality. We really liked their interpretation of the standard spicy tuna. This one had a nice twist with more flavor. A couple of the adjoining tables were having Ramen. Looked and smelled delicious and that's what the patrons said. Would be a great afternoon stop on a cold fall day.

Ok so this was actually one of the best ramen bowls I’ve ever had. Fantastic broth. Not too salty. The spring rolls were also great and everything else was super solid. They have a large space so a good place for larger groups. It’s kind of tucked away, but it’s right off Main St.

First time eating here we ordered takeout and we’re not impressed. Sushi was mediocre at best. No utensils were provided and no sauces were provided. My wife ordered veggie tempura and we didn’t get any tempura sauce to dip it in. Very disappointing. Not worth the $100 we spent. We won’t be eating here again.

Every time I eat here, I forget I am in Ruidoso. Which is a very good thing. In a town with nothing but mediocre “Mexican” places (stale green chile, yellow cheese and grease on everything) this is a breath of fresh air. A lot of small towns have your standard mediocre sushi place, but this place is strangely elevated. The fish feel fresh, the presentation is on point and the food is always delicious. I highly recommend the unagi bowl and the seared salmon dinner. Superb.

We tried the fresh start breakfast and the chicken fried steak. The food tasted great. The service was slow but they were very busy. Just make sure you aren't in a hurry when you go but they were worth the wait.

We LOVE this place! We went back 3 times while we were staying in Ruidoso. Amazing food, quick service, friendly employees, very clean, very affordable and cozy atmosphere!

Awesome place! Comfy and great service. We got the Bonita Biscuit and chicken fried steak. Super tasty! We’ll be back

This is an excellent place to eat. The breakfast was exceptional. It is one of the rare restaurants that has gluten-free bread and muffins. Everyone in our group who ate regular bread commented on the excellent food snd service. Make sure you come here if you are in Ruidoso.

If you like a good cafe, this one should be on a list of ones to visit. The staff is great at their job. The food is very good. I've had the chicken fried steak and biscuits and gravy. Best biscuit I've had. The gravy was perfect. They have the usual small beer selection and a few barefoot wines. You will not be disappointed unless you are trying to be.

Best Turkey Club around. Also do not forget to try the bakery goods. Great food, comfortable atmosphere and excellent service

The cutest place!!! ☺️Little breakfast cafe☕️. Came here twice while vacationing in the area. Such a cozy spot. They have a great menu and the perfect portion sizes. They have options for little breakfasts to big breakfasts! The pancakes 🥞are amazing. Wow. Love it. Vibes here are great✨. Much more crowded on a weekend.

The live music was really good! We had to work hard to get the waitress to notice us. I guess we weren’t “regulars”, so she ignored us unless we waved her down. It was early so she wasn’t super busy. We’ll be back regardless since the music was good.

Incredible bar that was thankfully open early in the week (rare in Ruidoso) for an afternoon beverage. While they have a big patio next door (where there's also ax throwing) that wasn't open at the time. Better for us as the vibe inside was perfect and the bartender was super sweet. They have karaoke on Tuesday and live music on the weekends. You're welcome to bring in your own food as well. All ages during the day, 21+ after 6pm.

Had a few days of vacation time, ran into Mike and had a fantastic bourbon tasting of barrel select choices! Great selection of sippers and old fashions at the bar and damn good selection to purchase and take with you! See ya in November Mike!

This is a neat little bar right downtown. Our bartender last night was absolutely fantastic and the music Neal sang was so good. Thank you so much for the friendly service and great time. We'll see y'all again soon!

It's always a fun time at WPS! We sat outside on the patio and listened to the house band which has been there for some time. The beer is cold, and everyone who works there is extremely friendly.

Great music. I ordered 2 old fashions and it was over $60. The waitstaff said she should have told me it was top shelf. I think they have a shelf above the top shelf. It was unreasonable.

Great little stop for a stroll thru town. Full bar and Good beers. Ax throwing was cool to watch. Great live music. Cool stop to unwind out of the sun.

Skip Noisy Water, Lost Hiker, and Downshift - your time is better spent at Tall Pines. This cozy spot offers both indoor and outdoor seating, making it perfect for any weather. You’ll find a wonderful selection of wines, beers, and mixed drinks, all served in a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere. Do yourself a favor and support this local gem!

This is a nice little bar owned by pleasant people. Lots of personality in the art and aesthetic. They have wine supplied by St Claire and we got a bottle it was so good. They may have food options but you really go for the drinks and atmosphere

Awesome new place in Ruidoso! Fantastic service, good beer and wine selection, and plenty of snack options make this quaint patio one of the best spots in downtown. I really hope they grow their service to include food, because I have a feeling everything they do they will do well. Highly recommend!

Amazing service! Pet friendly and we absolutely loved the atmosphere.

Nice selection of alcohol and wine, heated tent is a plus. The cigar selection was not good according to my husband and the quality of the cigars was lacking probably due to the humidifier/humidor. Anyways, its a good place to have some drinks and relax, it has a nice atmosphere.

Excellent place. Quaint and owner was outstanding. Very friendly and made us felt at home. They had a great IPA on tap. We visited twice in 5 days and will def return if we are ever in town.

What a treasure of a find this place is! The service was incredible and the BBQ was tasty but what really set this gem apart was the atmosphere. The outdoor patio is a beautiful spot to chill!

This place is AMAZING! Do not miss it! Cheesy Roast Beef Burrito is so creamy and tender. The flavors pop. The chicken salad is refreshing and getting it on the croissant makes is super filling. The grapes were fresh and crisp. Finished it all off with the ice cream smothered in homemade hot fudge!! Heaven!! The store holds so many fun little finds. It’s the perfect stop!!

This place is wonderful. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful, and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the Market Sandwich with green chile, and it was so good, it disappeared before I even knew what happened! Great vibes and a cute gift shop. Definitely worth a visit and a lunch stop.

This was our first time visiting and we were very impressed. The chicken salad sandwich is incredible! The pork burrito is also very delicious. The people are very kind and service is phenomenal. We also very much enjoyed the outdoor seating. I will be coming back!

I really do love this little place the location is perfect and there's outdoor seating as well as indoor seating. If you're looking for a gift you might find it here. There's sandwiches are very good and I recommend stopping by especially if you are dining solo and don't want to feel like a weirdo.

The food is amazing. Best sandwich I've had in a long time. The staff was super friendly amd the atmosphere was perfect!

Can't say enough about this place. They have everything. Great food and very flavorful. The husband and wife owners will make you feel right at home. They also hand make tallow and lots of other things. The cookies and brittle and out of this world. A hidden gem in our beautiful town. Highly recommend!

We tried their Chicken Salad Sandwich on a croissant, Burrito New Mexico with cheesy roast beef, chips, and Wild Bill soft drinks. My wife loved the Chicken Salad and the Burrito was the best I've had in Ruidoso!! The chili sauce is spicy, which I loved!! The items in the store are so cute. This will become one of our go-to places!!

My favorite item here was the burritos. They were a good size and had good flavor. My second favorite thing was the Horchata, it was so delicious and refreshing. The variety of salsa they had were quite good too, they varied in spiciness so I’m sure anyone could find one they’d like. The caldo de res was good, but I prefer it made with a different type of meat. The pozole could have used more hominy but that’s just personal preference, it had good flavor but it was very spicy so keep that in mind if you can’t handle heat. The place has plenty of seating, free WiFi, and good friendly service. The only thing lacking was ambiance, at least when I was there, there was no music playing, just the sound of other customers eating, and my thoughts. You order at the counter, they do have to-go orders, and they have a large variety of options on their menu so if you’re hungry I’m sure you’ll find something you’ll like.

The Ruidoso Downs location opened recently and I have found it to be the perfect lunch spot. My family and I have been eating here for lunch at least once a week for the last 3 weeks and we have not been disappointed. The burritos are fantastic and come with the right ratio of meat, beans and rice, plus guacamole, pico and sour cream if you're down w those condiments. Just ask what's on them and customize to your liking. The Campechano burrito was the best so far, steak and bacon w beans, cheese and rice!! They serve breakfast all day which is great for me if I skip breakfast before work! I've tried the chilaquiles once w red sauce and once w green sauce, I prefer the green but the red was tasty too. The huevos rancheros are very good, comes w warm tortillas. The breakfast burritos are massive and the chorizo is full of flavor! We've tried a few different taco plates and the Al Pastor is our favorite so far. You have to get one of their fresh Agua Fresca! Pineapple and watermelon are the ones I've tried and both are delicious! Medium size if you're alone and large to share. They have a serve yourself style chip and salsa area, the salsas are in individual containers and can be a little difficult to dip chips into, but it's good and helps you save room for your main order anyway. Try the carrots!!! Best escabeche vegetables I've ever had at a restaurant!

Not welcoming at all. Guy came out from the back like I was bothering him. Food was bland especially the avocado that tasted sour and this bread did not look like the one in the menu (torta). The supposed salsa bar didn't have anything in it but maybe a spoon full and tostadas were stale... Maybe Monday is a bad day.

After it was placed under new management and staff I do not recommend anymore. The familiar staff that was here before were professional during call for takeouts (like ask the name under the order, repeat the order, gave time to when to pick up, and actually gave us the total amount of the order) which these new people didn't do and felt like it was their first day of the job. Besides the previous management and staff made the food like it was made at a loving warm home (delicious!). Now, the food taste bland and dry especially the Victors super burrito (which is not so super anymore). The previous management and staff are clearly irreplaceble and I am saddened that they're gone. I suggest to go somewhere, and I'll most likely won't come back.

We eat here for lunch, and I have to say hands down that this has become my favorite place to eat Mexican food. It's better than Jorge's food even, and I've eaten there a lot and a few other places, but they have nothing on this place 💯❣️this is where I will be going to eat every time,I want Mexican food.almost forgot to mention the prices are great and plate sizes are just enough for anyone. It's a most try

Food is absolutely amazing some of the best tacos I’ve ever had

We picked up breakfast burritos 🌯 to enjoy at Two Rivers Park. The bacon burrito was filled with crispy bits of bacon, potatoes and fluffy scrambled eggs. It and the sausage burritos actually made two meals each. The pinto and cheese burrito was creamy, oozing perfection within a perfectly grilled tortilla. All were excellent, made exactly as ordered and freshly prepared hot off the grill.

This place is such a gem! Not only do they serve incredible cocktails—crafted with so much care and creativity—but they also have a unique selection of items for sale that make the experience even more fun. The vibe is warm, stylish, and welcoming, and the owner go above and beyond to make sure you feel right at home. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a drink, browse, and discover something new. Definitely one of my favorite places in town! Kudos to Henry too!!

Very fun shop and hidden cocktail bar in the back. Definitely plan to be back!

Great unexpected find. Quiet place to hangout and enjoy excellent drinks. Karen was fun to chat with. Introverts unite!

This shop is adorable! My husband and I stopped in while traveling through Ruidoso, and I’m so glad we did. The shop owner was so welcoming and carried on very genuine conversation while my husband sipped on a delicious old fashioned. Meanwhile, I was loving on her sweet dog, Henry! He was sitting on the counter just waiting to greet us! Great drinks and great company!

Love the product lines they offer! Prices are affordable 💚 Henry the dog was just precious. I enjoyed my conversation with the owner. I have 9 children (I know! So amazing!) and she was 1 of 8. I wish I would have bought so many things. Take my advice, buy it!

Husband and I visited this awesome little shop..actually he followed me in..lol. I first off fell in love with Henry, which is the main attraction in my book! The owner, Henry's mom, was the sweetest. I found some absolutely wonderful perfumes which never happens for me. Thank you thank you. I/we will be back and next time I will be trying the cocktails she offers amongst so many other wonderful items. It is a must to visit!!

I highly recommend the a whiskey flight of the amazing variety they carry here. Donna set me and the mister up and then finished with an old fashioned and wow!! The drink was beyond perfect. Ended up also purchasing Santa fe spirits colkegan whiskey 118% (it's so smooth!) And some lovely perfume. I highly recommend checking this store out and the ladies are beyond sweet! Love me some Donna and Karen! We will be back weekly at least❤❤❤

This restaurant truly deserves every single one of its 5 stars! From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable—friendly, attentive, and professional. The ambiance was perfect, with a cozy yet elegant atmosphere that made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Now, the food… absolutely outstanding! Every dish was prepared with high-quality ingredients, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. The menu offered a great variety, catering to different tastes, and each bite was a delight. The dessert was the perfect ending to an already fantastic meal. If you're looking for a place with excellent food, top-notch service, and a wonderful atmosphere, this is it! Highly recommended—I’ll definitely be coming back! My compliments to the chef

No service. We waited over an hour and a half for our order to be taken and an hour for our drinks. Prices are very high for what you get. It’s been terrible service EVERY time I’ve been here. I would come back at all if my family wasn’t such Karaoke fans. I will definitely eat before coming in the future. By the way Mark kills it with the Karaoke 5-9 Thursdays but DON’T count one any service

I went with some friends and we loved it. The service was very friendly and fast, the food arrived hot and tasted great. The atmosphere is comfortable and perfect for having a good time. Everything was excellent. We’ll definitely be coming back!

It is a nice restaurant with cool paintings and a nice outdoor seating area. However their food was horrible. We ordered the surf and turf, the steak was not good at all, shrimp was rubbery and our plates were all cold. When I told the waitress she asked if I wanted to return it for a refund. I said yes please. Then she came back and said the manager said they could only remake it! Horrible! There were 9 of us and all of our plates were like that, potatoes were cold too. And when we got our checks, they were trying to upcharge us. Would not recommend

I left my copper water bottle In the restaurant I’ve never been treated with such rudeness asking for it back! Such rude employees that work there obviously thieves and liars with no regard for people’s personal belongings!

My friend and I ordered food from there and they forgot an entire salad. Told us to go through doordash for a refund. They make a mistake and I miss lunch and have to ask a doordash for money back.

Excellent service they have, and all the employees are very attentive to customers

The best Mexican food you can buy In Ruidoso With great flavor and heat you can't deny Muy sabroso

My favorite burrito shop in the world, when ever I come back to Doso I have to eat here. NOM NOM NOM!!!

Big breakfast burritos! Priced reasonable.

Delicious and addictive

(Translated by Google) Excellent food (Original) Excelente comida

Best experience ever the waitress was great, food was great, and the restaurant was great. Very nice place beautiful on the inside Steak was great onion rings were delicious and everything was over sized all the plates were huge but delicious Pork belly was delicious nice and tender but savory Cheese cake was delicious Good selection of wine and other drinks Will definitely go back

Absolutely delicious food. We came to Ruidoso for a vacation from El Paso and we eat out 2-3 times per day each time in a different place. This is the only place which made us absolutely happy about everything: food, service, prices. Jonathan was very polite, professional and efficient. We had Brussel sprouts, crab cake, pasta and a burger. Everything was mouthwatering. If you are in Ruidoso- that’s the best place to eat out.

We came for dinner and the restaurant was beautiful. Very romantic setting and the tables had fresh flowers. My husband got the prime rib and I got the chicken Alfredo and both dishes were excellent. We also ordered the onion ring appetizer and it was perfectly crispy and cut thin so they were easy to eat. I highly recommend that dish.

This was our first time to dine here & the meal was Delicious. We had Trout and Chicken Fried Steak. Haley was an excellent waitress. We will definitely be back. Great restaurant for date night or family.

As a James Beard awarded Chef & Restaurant owner of 40 years in South Carolina, I was Impressed. Formal yet Casual. I ordered Crab Cakes as an app. It was a Meal! Full of Crab with very little filler. The Remoulade was Fantastic! Not the typical Horseradish type. More sweet citrus. Sorry no pic, tore into it too fast! We ordered the Catfish, nightly special Lamb Chops & Wagyu Ribeye. Catfish was not the typical filet. They took a Large filet and cut it into strips/fingers. Cooked to perfection! Lamb was a beautiful MidRare and tender, Wagyu Steak was also cooked to a Perfect MidRare. Trust me, American/Australian/Japanese Wagyu all cook differently. Wagyu is higher in fat and contains less moister than Angus. It also melts at a lower temp. This was Australian Wagyu(Sir Harry's??) and was perfect. Service was professional, polite and made us feel welcome. Price is fair for the Quality of the ingredients. For those that say this place is pricey....It is what it is. 2 apps, 3 entrees, 4 cocktails, $175 is Reasonable. I've paid $200 for an A-5 Japanese Wagyu Ribeye.

The staff were super warm and friendly, quick to seat us and everything would've been perfect except for one thing. The steak was too salty. If things were merely mediocre, it wouldn't have bothered me near as much but the disappointment hit much harder with this because everything else on the plate was delicious. The baked potatoe was cooked to perfection, seasoned well and full of buttery goodness that was reminiscent of my godmother's homemade mash potatoes. The cut of the meat, the tenderness and the doneness was all perfectly juicy, except for the overpowering saltiness that literally broke my heart with each bite. My hubby mentioned it to the bartender/server and he was extremely apologetic about it and immediately offered 25% off the meal without hesitation. Like I said, the service is amazing. Unfortunately, nothing could've alleviated the mar of being cheated off of what could've been an absolutely perfect first-dining experience at this place. That being said, don't let my experience be the reason you forgo giving this place a chance. We all have varying pallettes and you just might be lucky enough to enjoy your visit.

Accommodated a large party with little notice. Great staff, very friendly. Thank you

Our server was great. The burgers literally had 20fries with them. Why chinchy? My salad was good, but had three tiny pieces of avocado on it..? Chinchy.. three people $66. We had water It was every bit of three stars- nothing wowed us. Atmosphere was fine and clean bathrooms. Id go back again

I went in ordered a few simple things just to try it wasn’t all that I expected. Veggies were too greasy and the waiters were to consistent they don’t allow enough time to look over even the drinks. But it was very clean. I didn’t see the cook with a hair net or hair pulled back so I was kinda off guard by that but I guess that’s how they run it. The tea was good Daily pick veggies were way to greasy and mashed potatoes were to thick gravy was great though. My salsa was also good the chips some were cooked to quick and clumped together. Some were greasy some were not.

Very nice waiter. My husband loved the fish & coleslaw. I had one of the best BLT sandwiches out there. The fries were hot & crispy. We've been eating here for over 25 years & love it.

I'm glad I didn't read the prior reviews before coming to eat here. We did have to wait about 10 minutes, the hostess texted our phone when our table was ready, no problem there. We had two waitresses, one in training, both were super attentive and friendly. We didn't have to ask for refills, they were on top of their game. Both food and drinks arrived prompt, by the way, the margaritas are yummy. They also have a decent selection of beers on tap. We had the Nacho appetizer which was delicious. We also ordered the ribs, they were tender and flavorful, the catfish was good, and so was the chicken fried steak. No complaints, the food was good. The atmosphere of the place is also enjoyable. They have flat screen throughout the dining area for customers to enjoy some sports and such. They also have a patio. I live here and I'll probably visit this place regularly.

The atmosphere is nice, there’s pool tables and plenty of TVs throughout for your entertainment. The food is good, I had the chopped steak with mashed potatoes and it was satisfying. My husband enjoyed his salad, it was nice and fresh. My daughter had the kids burger and it was quite tasty. Their Green Chile Stew is one of my favorite food items here, it’s has a bit of a kick to it but it’s so flavorful! The posole is also very tasty and just like the green Chile stew, it packs a punch. If you like spicy food, those two are good options. This place has Applebees/Chilis vibes but with a lot more beer selections and cocktails. The service has always been friendly, on days when it’s packed you will have to practice a little more patience but it’s never a ridiculous wait. There’s plenty of parking, outdoor sitting, clean bathrooms and TouchTunes in the event you feel like playing some music. It’s a good place to unwind with family and friends, kids included.

On 09/12/25 at about 8pm 4 of us went to dine in at Farleys, I've been dining at Farleys in Las Cruces and Ruidoso for many years, it has always been a great experience, until now. The service was horrific, ordered 2 appetizers one came out after the entrees and the other never arrived. The chicken fajitas were ordered with corn tortillas and they could have broken a window they were so stale. I asked for flour tortillas and of course as bad as the service was I never received them. I don't think the server cared at all about good service. This was a big reflection on the management, never saw a manager. A well run establishment management will walk around and make sure things are running smoothe and customers are happy. Not the case here tonight. We were 4 at the table and had to ask for silverware and when we finally got it she brought 3 sets. I wouldn't recommend this establishment to anyone far better places in town.

Server had NO Clue about beer selections, 2 flautas were not edible, quesadilla had NO green Chile inside, server didn’t come back until we were done eating. I asked for onion rings with my burger and got fries…. No tea refills, no manager in sight.

I hadn’t eaten at a K-Bobs in years. I knew we had to try the one in Ruidoso and was glad we did. The parking lot is always crowded but we were served very quickly. They still have a salad wagon which is filled with various salads, Cowboy Pinto beans and soup of the day. It also has fruit and Chocolate pudding. The prices are higher than 25 years ago but still a great value. The staff is friendly and helpful. They also brought the homemade rolls

2.5/10 Waitress was nice! Nice decorations TVs, And the sirloin was good that's where the good ends... Not as good as time... Cold Ranchers Stake. Party was disappointed. The hurricane cocktail was alright The loaded baked potato tasted like soap... Strawberry Daiquinquri was heavily watered down compared to last time... The fish & chips tasted bland. Overall bad experience. For this food I would have payed under 10$ but the average was 30$...

Very relaxed and Ranch & Country themed. Plenty of TVs. The 'Salad Wagon' is my favorite with LOTS of options from salad, soup , deserts and so much more. Plus the prettiest Sangria I've had!

Really like the band display on the weekend The food is good The choice of salad bar is sufficient Also The atmosphere is great

Salad bar was the best part of our experience. I got the ribs and they were on the dry side for my taste. Waitress was nice and helpful.

Most importantly, the food was amazing. It was exactly what I wanted and what I needed. The service was very friendly and attentive The musician had an amazing voice, a great set, and was just very talented, and it made the atmosphere even better.

Great atmosphere fantastic service love the salad wagon!! great drinks and cold beer!

We waited in the lobby and multiple employees walked past us several times until my husband finally asked someone if we could be seated. So, first impression- not the best. However, the burgers were really good. My husband got the Regulator and I got Billy the Kid. My daughter got the grilled chicken salad. All were very good. We also got a basket of fries with queso and bacon. It was all delicious. Their pickles were great as well. So, food = delicious/ service = needs some work. Our waitress was sweet. Just not impressed with being passed by at least 8 times and not a single person greeting us or offering to seat us. 🙃

5 Stars – This Place Rocks! Anaheim Jacks is an absolute hidden gem! The vibe is rustic, fun, and full of character—license plates, sports on the big screens, and even The Rock with googly eyes watching over the drink station (10/10 decor, by the way). We tried the wings, fried pickles, and quesadilla—and wow, everything was fire! Crispy, flavorful, and served hot. That quesadilla was packed and smothered just right. But the real MVP of the night? Kristen! She was incredibly friendly, fast, and knew the menu inside out. She made sure everything was perfect and kept the drinks coming like a pro. Absolute legend! If you’re looking for good food, good vibes, and a great server—go see Kristen at Anaheim Jacks. You won’t regret it!

We were a group of 11 and Zach was our waiter. He was an excellent waiter! He was attentive and got all our orders correct. When we asked for anything extra, he returned with it in no time. The food was delicious too! Our appetizers were delicious too! The onion strings were a very large portion!

We visited Ruidoso on a bit of an off time, so not a lot of places were open during the week. Luckily, that left us with minimal choices which brought us to Anaheim Jacks. First, atmosphere was great and the menu come likes a newspaper, which I had never seen before. We started with the fried pickles, which my daughter had been craving, and they did not disappoint. They come in sandwich slice slivers versus coin shaped and were delicious. My wife and I split wings and son had chicken fried steak.....all were delicious and great portion sizes. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a good place to eat and want to grab a beer at the same time.

The food is delicious and the service was great. The caramelized onions on the burger were very good

Service was great and food was pretty good. Because so many restaurants were closed, this place was packed. Still, the waitress was attentive and wonderful. The prices are the current going rate, a bit higher than I prefer; but still worth it.

Be aware of portions they are big delicious but big…. Cold drinks, friendly faces, hot meals… what else do you want???? Me wife and mother had a burger meat quality is uncanny bun is delicious and vegetables are fresh.. I ask for wings thinking they small ooooooo no to my surprise they were huge wings and with a pretty good sauce…. So stop by ask for sweet potato fries, some ranch and some buffalo wings you’ll be in heaven TRUST ME

Chef Lupe's best in town!!! Love the new location!!! Staff is so very friendly and welcoming! Great service fast and fresh great place for date night or taking the whole family! Breakfast Mexican and American classics I love this place and if you visit Ruidoso do not leave without stopping by you will not be disappointed!!! 😊

I always eat here when I come to Ruidoso. My favorite is the green chicken enchilada plate. I once tried another Mexican restaurant down the stree (just to walk on the wild side) but did not like their food. Thank you Chef Lupe!

Great service their tacos are delicious our waiter was very polite and very patient. I went in the daytime 08/16/2021 my mother and father-in-law took me for my birthday 🥳

First timer here. Delicious food and good service

I liked the diner vibe this place has. The staff were really friendly and perhaps a little too open... but I enjoyed it. Almost felt like getting food at family friend's house. As far as the food goes, I had a green chili burrito (I was visiting NM, so had to try it) which was really, really delicious. Some of the ingredients were subpar, though, including the lettuce, rice, and beans.

I do not like to leave negative reviews if I can help it. I try to find the good and not look for the bad but unfortunately for this place it is negative. Steaks were burned and so tough could not be eaten. One of my daughters ordered the California chicken sandwich (which she always orders the safest thing on menu at new place) and she said it was good. She was the only one out of 5 that had a good meal. Chips and salsa are very good they just don't give enough to last and they are very short staffed so takes forever to get service. The homemade tortillas were good also but for the overall experience we will not eat here again.:-(

We came to this place in our way out of town looking for to go food for our trip. It was in a very convenient spot and there wasn't too many people as it was a workday after 9AM. My husband ordered the coffee and we got two bacon burritos to go. The burritos were HUGE & LOADED! They had bacon, potato and egg and they came with a yummy green salsa. These were perfect for breakfast and lunch. My one complain would be the amount of time we had to wait to get served but it could have been because the people in front of us had a big order. Overall the burritos were good and the service was friendly.

As soon as we walked in a tall gentleman helped us right away. Gave us instructions on how to order and had us pick drinks. My elderly father needed to use the restroom and both gentleman working were quick to tell us where the restrooms are and both of them were polite and kind. Appreciated that!!! We ordered our food and the brisket was delicious. It wasn't dry. And the BBQ sauce on the table was good. The potato salad and macaroni and cheese was delicious. I'd go again if I was in the area. My father had the turkey and he wished he had an order to go and talked about how good the food was the next day. He's extremely picky so it says a lot when he can't stop talking about the food. 😊

Very laid back restaurant- 2 people total running the front and back. Quick friendly service... best of all, very tender brisket and turkey. Only "complaint" is the meats & sides could use a tiny bit more salt but i guess thats what salt shakers are for... otherwise... this place is good!

My wife and I stopped in here for lunch after a day of off roading and were quite impressed with the service and food quality. It's such a small place I almost missed it when driving past, so keep an eye open when driving through. The brisket sandwich is on point with notes of hickory and a beautiful pepper bark. The mac-n-cheese is made with real cheese and has strings of cheese pulling away with every fork full. My wife got the pulled pork sandwich that was very moist and juicy with every bite. The sweet tea was refreshing and not overly sweet. Definitely make this a stop on your route, you won't regret it.

I smoke my own meat every summer so I am a little picky when it comes to BBQ. Me and two friends stopped here for lunch on our way to Cloud Croft, NM, the service was prompt and friendly but the BBQ was nothing special; ribs were bland and I don't believe they were smoked in house. The sides were good, potato salad and mac and cheese for sure

Poor quality. Beans were undercooked. The potato salad was in one word "yuk" . I've eaten here before but this time was not the best. If the owner reads these potato salad is not brown!!! And beans are not suppose to be hard after cooking.

Loved it! Service was awesome. Brisket, turkey and sausage all delicious. Really loved the visible pepper from the rub. Potato salad, corn and the Mac and cheese were all yummy too. Just really GOOD food! Thank you Stuart. I know where I am eating when I come back!

AMAZING BBQ and service! Very professional and friendly staff. Great smoke flavor. We had ribs,brisket,sausage,pulled pork all on point. The mac m cheese was perfect and the cream corn is literally the best I have ever had! I even returned that same afternoon for more 😂. Huge portions and fast service. A++++ will definitely be going back.

Very upset with the product I went in and ordered a large original, and I got a Sandwich smothered with mustard when I tried calling them to get this corrected they pulled the phone off the line and just let it ring and then I finally got to the message box and started leaving a message where I was then hung up on again all I would like is a refund if someone could contact me that would be great to make up for this that left a terrible taste in my mouth. Lots of mention a terrible taste of the food as well. Going to post pics. My napkins were full of mustard.

Great variety of sandwiches and kids meals! The staff was nice and the food all tasted amazing. Only complaint is the prices are a little expensive for 3 meals it was almost $40 but we were satisfied with our meal! Good when you are visiting and need a treat for lunch plus great location in Ruidoso

It has been years, maybe even a decade since I eat at a Schlotzsk's. But this was my second time here within a few days. First was for a BOGO pizza and then this sandwich. All in all a good lunch and good drink.

Ordered lunch and sandwiches and soup were so tasty. The gentleman who took our order, I think his name is Jeff was so nice and friendly and we really appreciated his kindness. He had glasses and was a little bit older and he made all of us smile. Definitely an exceptional employee. Thank you for a great experience.

Wonderful pizzas for $5 after 5pm on Friday-Sunday. Sandwiches are amazing as well. Sandwiches are some of if not the best I’ve ever eaten. No lie

I'm willing to give restaurants a second chance to see if they can improve. We went for lunch, and I ordered my turkey bacon club on jalapeño bread with extra bacon with jalapeño chips and a large drink, and we ordered everyone else's food of a turkey bacon on sourdough,a french dip and a turkey club on sourdough all with chips and a large drink. This time, our order was correct, which was nice, and they even had a decent amount of costumers, so for it to be correct made me really happy. I even noticed this time that to go, orders were getting ready before the customer even came in. I was very pleased, so whatever they were doing or if the manager was there they should keep up that kind of service of all the time,it was nice and we will be back again 😀

My sandwich was good. My friends both got salads and lettuce was wilted and old. Service was acceptable however they were short staffed. Atmosphere was pleasant.

We ate lunch here a couple times last week. I had the tacos, which were the daily special; there was a lot of meat in them and the salsa was plenty spicy. My wife had a burger, which she liked a lot. There is a decent beer selection as well. The bartender refused to take our beer order when we stepped up to it, but we found a table and our waitress was extremely nice. The 2 time my wife had the chicken wings with Teriyaki. I tried one and thought it was okay, and she enjoyed them more than I did. They were plenty large. I had the Green Chile Cheeseburger. The grain of the patty was tight and looked like a preformed patty, and it was not juicy at all. The patty was cooked fine, with a little pink inside, and had decent flavor, but not great. The bun was basic and lightly toasted, and it held up. The cheese was American, and not melted. The green chile was fresh, but very mild tasting, and the flavor not very good. There was lettuce on the bottom bun; no condiments on the burger, but available on the table. The fries were thin, but not quite shoestring. They were from frozen, and were served warm.

Nice spot to stop at to grab a bite to eat with the kids. The hostess was great she treated my son special for his birthday got the band to sing for him. Very cool experience!! The live music is also a plus very upbeat but chill atmosphere.

Beautiful restaurant, great service, better food, wholesome and personable staff, Glad I chose this over all the other options in the area

3.5 stars. There’s not that many places open late in Ruidoso so if you’re looking to have some fun with friends after 9pm, you’re options are small. If you’re looking for some country dancing, kareoke, or just a place to have some beers this is one of your options. It’s usually pretty busy during the weekends especially if it’s tourist season. If country music ain’t your thing, they do have a jukebox (AMI) you can play music on and you can also download an app for it, similar to TouchTunes. This place is your typical local bar, it’s casual, nothing fancy. It has two pool tables, some arcade games, a patio, a dance floor and plenty of seating. They do have live music on certain days, check their Facebook page or other social media to get that info. They check for ID at the door at night. They do have a kitchen that serves food during the day.

I see a lot of criticisms on the reviews here. I’d like to give you my honest feedback on this. I personally had an excellent time, the waitress insured that my drink was full at all times and was checking up on me constantly. I love getting to listen to live music from local artists, even throughout this Covid pandemic they are surviving. The social distancing is still on point if anyone is concerned or worried about that. This is a heavy pour bar so if you like your liquor, then you are in luck. My one take away from this that would be negative, is that none of the food is fresh whatsoever and it’s all frozen. The burgers are only cooked well done which for me personally is a no go. However I did have the hatch chili burger and it honestly was quite phenomenal for a well done frozen patty. I am going to maintain a five star on this just due to customer service and quality of experience. I would recommend this and I hope that your experience will be the same as mine was.

I've been here twice. Once my husband and me had drinks outside and it was enjoyable. Second time around, decided to eat here because I wanted to try their stew but they were out. They were actually out of a lot of items. First things first, the waitress was rude and unwelcoming and kept forgetting my drinks. I eventually gave up and just drank my kids soda. Then we ordered the food: Nothing was memorable. In fact my Philly cheesesteaks sandwich tasted bad, like it was spoiled. Needless to say, we all got food poisoning after eating here. I hate that it happened because I like to support local businesses but they need to step up their game and not be so careless because there's plenty of other good food options in Ruidoso.

Probably one of the worst bars I’ve been to. Seen them kicking out people for simply walking to the bathroom to the other side of the bar. The live music was great but customer service ? Forget it. They don’t have it. I’d rather go to jacks backstage.

Great place to sit and enjoy some hometown brews. Reasonably priced and in the middle of town it's a must stop while walking around.Bartender was friendly and knowledgeable about the whole brewing process so ask away.

Went yesterday after a long traveling day. So disappointing... Better beer? Beer was fine. Better pizza? Yeah, no. Tombstone frozen AT BEST. Prices exorbitant! $47 dollars for an overcooked burger ("sorry, the best the kitchen will do is MW"), a pepperoni pizza, and one beer. Also a VERY long wait, with maybe half the tables occupied. Too bad the bartender told us it would be 45 minutes for the food AFTER we ordered and paid. Tourist trap!!! Don't bother. Do better! No excuse for this low level of service and quality. None.

The most humble and kind staff, from someone who lives in Alamogordo, they take the time to understand what you like and find the perfect beer for your taste. The live music is wonderful and the environment is light and inviting. Had a great time here. Their truffle fries are amazing btw!!!

Some of the best pizza I ever had. They put everything on that! And the drinks had much attention to detail.

I loved this place. It’s more of a bar but it’s family friendly during the day. The service was great, they took our order and gave us our drinks quickly. We did wait a bit for the food to come out but it did not disappoint. I ordered the House Salad and Buffalo wings. Both were very tasty. My sister ordered the chicken tender sandwich and pepperoni pizza and said it was also very good. The best part of downshift brewery was their beer selection. Snowday was citrusy and fresh and their beer flights were so much fun!

This is a nice comfortable place to go on a Sunday afternoon. I had the chicken tenders and as you can tell, I liked them so much I forgot to take a picture of the full order. The shrimp tacos were good as well. Decent beer selection. Give it a shot while in Ruidoso.

The downshift brewery is definitely a hidden gem in this noisy river village of Ruidoso New Mexico. Absolutely loved it I actually parked behind the brewery side as soon as I got out of the car very quaint place I could hear music coming out of their continued towards the village so we could shop a little bit unfortunately during memorial day weekend all the shops closed up before 6 PM. Cruised around for a minute went to quarters they were not serving food past 1 PM on Sunday unfortunately. So we went to the downshift brewery they had live music a one-man show very entertaining very diverse music from country to patriotic to rock and classics. This brewery is very inviting with a very nice assortment of IPA local beers. Definitely stop on by the atmosphere is great very inviting plus delicious food which they serve till midnight or closing time. The selection of beer is oh phenomenal cannot get over the amount of choices they offer. My favorite was the alien IPA beer definitely suggested try it out when you’re over here in town or definitely pick some up at your neighborhood grocery store. Definitely come by and check out downshift brewery in noisy river Village in Ruidoso New Mexico a great place to enjoy it have a good time. By the way this is actually a family friendly environment I took two teenage boys of 15 years old and they had a great time and enjoyed the wings the pizza and the chicken tenders.

Was delicious .would recommend and will be back!! The huevos rancheros was definitely a hit!!

We have been here before and loved it. This time not so much. Food wasn't really all that good, beef tacos tasted like chili from a can chicken tacos were clumpy and tasteless. The only thing that was good was the burger we ordered. Idk if they changed cooks or suppliers or what. We were charged for chips and salsa The restaurant was clean just not as homey as I remember.

Great real Mexican hot menudo! Real sason/spices! A locals spot! And more variations breakfast/lunch plates

We eat here several times per year, but last nights meal was really tasty. Chicken enchiladas with red sauce were tasty and spicy and the tacos adobado were great. Keep it up La Hacienda.

A super clean & an awesome place to eat some of the best food, with lots of choices. The waitress was very nice & helpful. Our food was so tasty & hot. Just an overall great place to eat.

We were starving and we wandered onto this little gem. The wait staff was so very friendly. Three of us ate the breakfast. I had the omelet. It was good. My son had the breakfast burrito and really liked it. My youngest had the kids pancake. They made them into Mickey for him. He loved the special touch. My husband had the hamburger. He said it was ok. We all ate for around $40. This is a good place to stop.

I can see why the burritos are so big what they make up in size the lack in taste and quality. No seasoning in the burrito and the chorizo was not even mixed in to the egg. When ordering the girl seemed very annoyed that we were ordering food very uncomfortable. Will not return.

This Pizza Hut makes a wonderful pizza. However beware of delivery. He pulled into hotel with stereo on blast, and handed me this

On a Sunday lunch, I was the only one in the restaurant. They did a good take our business but I was the only one in the restaurant. It felt strand but it was off season in Ruidosa. Ordered a personal pizza that was quite good. Pizza was a good value but a soft drink was almost half the price of the pizza. But that's how restaurants make money today. Service was a little slow but place was very clean with a good pizza place atmosphere.

Terrible service!!! Lady at the window claimed she couldn’t hear us at the window and said if we wanted to order we’d have to get out and come inside. With the nastiest attitude!! We will be calling corporate. Mind you, she could hear us perfectly. All we wanted was a pepperoni pizza.

Really surprised with this Pizza Hut as it remains like the old restaurants, service his fast and prices are very reasonable.

Place was a little warm on a summer day but the friendly and attentive staff made up for it as well as the delicious food.

Food was great and was made very fast even though they where busy

Fast service, the waiter was gracious and seated us quickly. Food was out fast!!!

This establishment, like many others, fails to provide adequate assistance with opening doors for individuals accompanying wheelchair users. The disabled ramp, intended for wheelchair access, is cracked and hazardous, necessitating caution. Numerous menu items were unavailable. The food was satisfactory, though not exceptional.

Their food reminds me of something you’d eat at your grandma’s house (in the best way). Very cozy & delicious. The staff was very friendly, too! I had an omelette with peppers, tomato, onions, cheese & shared the most savory, warmest albóndiga soup with my husband. Everything was very tasty! We wanted to go back the next day, but they were closed. Next time.

Excellent Google restaurant recommendation. Everyone enjoyed everything. Salsa is interesting, more like pico than traditional salsa, and contains some interesting herb, as pictures on the side of the bowl. Not sure what that is but it's adds interesting flavor to the salsa making it unique. Large group of 9 containing kiddos seated almost immediately. Waiter was great. As typically speaking the red sauce has the heat and the green has flavor. Christmas is available for the sauces! Love that lunch specials included tea or coffee!

We were recommended by another restaurant that wasn't open at the time, but the owner came out and recommended El Paraiso. Friendly waitresses, and great food. Excellent recommendation!

This place just recently reopened so I was excited to try it out, especially since they offer Menudo and Pozole. With that said, my husband ordered the menudo, it was a bit watered down but the hominy to meat ratio was good. My husband needed to add a substantial amount of salt to bring out the flavor. I had the Jumbo Shredded Beef Burrito smothered in Green Chile Sauce, it was good, plenty of shredded beef inside but it did also need salt, next time I want to try it with Red Chile Sauce. My kiddo got the kids cheeseburger which was really tasty. It came plain, just cheese and meat with a packet of mustard and ketchup on the side, perfect. The service was a bit slow which I'm assuming it's because the restaurant has been closed so they are still trying to get in their rhythm but at the same time they weren't packed so it could have been a little better. Although I wasn't impressed with the food this go around, I am going to go back a few more times to try out different items. They have 5-6 outside patio tables for outdoor dining. No indoor dining.

In town for a softball tournament and found the place based of reviews. Very disappointing. The queso was literally bad nacho cheese sauce and cold at that. Although 4 servers were working, we never got refills on our drinks. Food was mediocre at best but the rice was awful.

Best New Mexican food in Ruidoso! There's a reason why the locals eat here and it's because it's delicious! The green sauce was perfect and the red sauce with it's slight heat was awesome. The barbacoa was yummy although it was a little greasy. The Chile rellano was scrumptious! Definitely recommend this place!
