Good Food ? Yum FajitasThey have a Bar ? getting thirsty?

Was expecting good authentic Mexican food while visiting in Las Cruces. It was the worst. 3 Tortillas were tiny and if you need more (and you will) there is an up charge.Chicken and beef were brought out very burnt and I couldn't get it off the sizzling platter as I was not given a plate which added to my frustration.Side order of guacamole was good but is not served with chips and there is a charge for chips if you want them.Service was very slow and we waited a long time for our check after our waitress removed the empty dishes. Just a bad experience and we will not go back.

Had #3 combo plate with chicken enchilada chili relleno and ground beef taco with red chili sauce. Kinda needed a break from green chili and found their red to be a bright flavor . Most are overwhelming in use of cumin and this wasn't. Will definitely try the red in other dishes.

Another must hit when we visit. The flavors are wonderful and we left stuffed! We grazed in their chips and salsa and ordered some guacamole. Their salsa has the best flavor--it's absolutely addicting. And the guac was smooth and delicious with some lettuce chunks and fresh white onion strings if you wanted a little texture. My son and I get their sopapilla compuesta (Christmas). That meal is huge! And the meat just melts in your mouth. My wife goes for their green enchiladas (stacked). She had to also get sour cream because their green was a little hot for her. Still tasty and she still loves it. My in-laws go for their red enchiladas (stacked) with an egg on top. They like them here the best in the valley. And, of course, you have to finish the meal with an order of sopapillas (cinnamon sugar or plain). Absolutely delicious!

My wife and I from out of town visited this restaurant for brunch and were sat rather quickly. Unfortunately, this was all the help we were given. What made it worse was an elderly, "lighter skin" couple was seated next to us five to ten minutes later. Their drink and food order was taken and the waitress walked by, looked at us, and kept going. She also happened to be "light skin." Then, we got up to walk out only to see her playing on her phone by the register so she definitely was not busy. I'm not one to play into the race baiting we're fed on the daily by social media, press, etc. but we've never felt so discriminated against. Ironically, this is a Mexican restaurant. It's 2022 people. Let it go.

Always a fiasco every time we try to eat here, and it just continues to get worse and worse. The service is lousy. The staff is horrible!! They ignore you and would rather argue with you than try to correct their mistakes. The fries are always old and cold, or raw and crunchy. The food is dry and tasteless across the board. I would NOT recommend wasting your money here. The food is way over priced for the quality of service and food you get. There are several other places in town that offer better food, service, and prices. They have also started decreasing the portion sizes and increased their prices. $20 for two orders of french fries with queso is highway robbery.

Staff was very friendly and provided excellent service. Their chile rellenos were the best. Delicious!!

Great food, great coustmer service, prices kinda of high

I had the carne asada burrito. Unfortunately, the beef was cut into the dreaded tiny cubes. There was a little onion, not much, in the burrito but that's all. Nothing else. It was dry and was the most boring burrito I've ever eaten. The salsa was excellent, though.

Excellent Mexican cuisine. Optimum customer service.
