You walk into this place and instantly you are taken back to the way things used to be…but in a really good way. I got the breakfast sopapilla and tamales. All were delicious. The staff was very friendly and went over the menu. Definitely recommend

Definitely recommend stopping by. I would call ahead if you’re in a hurry, they are pretty popular and usually have a little bit of a wait. But it is well worth it. The tacos Nuevos plate are a really good, classic taco, with beef and potato. My husband got the Mexican plate which has a bit of everything. It was a lot of food, but he enjoyed everything on it. Their red chile sauce is super good which smothers pretty much everything. Highly recommend either plate.

Best tamales and rice in town. This is NOT a sit down restaurant. It’s a grab and go. They have picnic tables outside by the parking lot. You can see the employees making tamales in the very large industrial kitchen.

This place is amazing, the food is incredible. I can’t eat like this everyday, but treat yourself to a true New Mexican meal. My favorite is the stuffed sopappillas!

Delicious food and massive quantities. I ordered the Mexican play just to keep it simple and there must have been four or five pounds of food. In three different containers. $13, amazing
