Enduring, humble eatery serving classic Mexican & New Mexican dishes, plus beer & wine.

We ordered the chicken and carnitas mix and match platter, which came with rice, charro beans, and sauces with onion and cilantro, and of course, tortillas. It’s definitely a recommended plate for two people, as the portions are quite generous, and you have the option of sharing both types of meat.
The grilled chicken is delicious; it was our favorite. The chicken is juicy and the skin is crispy. The carnitas are also good, flavorful and juicy.
We ordered melon and hibiscus water; both drinks were very refreshing and had the perfect amount of sweetness.
The place is very nice, it has a family-friendly atmosphere and they also have a bar area. It’s very clean and the waiters are constantly attentive in case you need anything else, and they are friendly.
I definitely recommend it 100% if you’re passing through and want to eat some excellent charcoal-grilled chicken.

Got the family special half mix and match of grill chicken and carne asada. It came with rice bean and onion side. Good portions for two persons. Every thing was really tasty and flavorful, with a resonable price. Will definitely go again ,try a dessert aswell,if we are around Roswell.

Good location, but compared to the food available elsewhere in New Mexico solidly disappointing. Green chili tamales that are smothered in sauce but still somehow dry? Salsa that doesn’t have the characteristic heat of salsa in new Mexico? It’s not awful, but I was let down by the high expectations I had. I could eat the same meal back home.
Service was fine, although a bit to be desired. My cup definitely emptied, and having to wait for the check after the conclusion of the meal is always annoying. Overall, though, not massive complaints.
Atmosphere, on the other hand, was incredible. Beautiful restaurant.

This is a solid Roswell restaurant. ETB has always been consistent with their entrees and the staff is always friendly.

This restaurant really met expectations. Service was great, clean place, reasonable prices, and the food was awesome. My only complaint is the chips were a little hard and cold but other than that awesome experience. Definitely would recommend.

This is going to seem brutal, but I didn’t necessarily dislike the food.
We ordered the sopapilla and the tostadas and shared, and the food tasted exactly the same, same meat, same rice, same seasoning. It just was very boring. The salsa was definitely homemade and had a nice level of spice. The beans, however, were absolutely delicious.
The service was good enough.
We were questioned about our service dog and were required to pull out his service dog card by the manager, despite him being in a closed space.
My recommendation is order one meal, share it for the experience and call it good.
We were lured in by clever pictures of aliens lol

Cool little place to get some great Mexican food. The stuffed sopa was absolutely delicious!!! The only complaint I had was that it was so cold in there that I didn’t even want to finish eating. They turned the air down but I never did get warm.

Located in downtown Roswell New Mexico. Wonderful food good service but they were quite late in serving us and there wasn’t a full house. Later I saw they had a very large party and they had ordered a huge order so I got it. Wonderful location, and restaurant. Food was worth the wait. Good parking across the street and in back. Would come back. Give it a run, you’ll like it!

We went there to eat with our family. The place looks like it might be good, but it really isn’t. The food was not enjoyable at all, the service was terrible—the staff was distracted, playing around with each other instead of paying attention—and the food was served cold. As for the drinks, you can definitely find much better options elsewhere.

Really good food you guys! Would happily come back again. Family friendly, and gluten free! I got the chicken fajitas and everything was cooked perfect! The corn tortillas came warm and didn’t fall apart in my hand.
The selection of food was great, something for all taste buds!
