We went to the tavern part of the restaurant after a spa visit and the food was very good with generous portions, fast and friendly service and very tasty draft beer options. Lamb was excellent and the fish tacos were pretty good as was the tortilla soup and the truffle fries were very good, crispy and abundant! It was fairly expensive but there are no real other options within 20+ miles so enjoy.

Went for valentines. The only positive things I can say is portions are generous and service is friendly. But the food is not great at all!!!
For lunch ordered something fast, so went with their wraps. I thought I was eating hospital food. It was plain and bland.
Dinner ordered the chicken and beef fajita platter for two. The main star of the plate, the fajitas, were disappointingly flavorless. The meat was slightly overcooked. The rice and beans were the only things that we enjoyed off of the plate. Extremely disappointed especially for the price.

Great friendly service. Delicious food.

The blue corn muffins were a nice surprise and really good.

The green chili burger did not disappoint, it was a nice thick patty topped with an ample amount green chilis. It was exactly what I’d been looking for.

The Chicken sandwich I am told by my companion was very good as well, lots of flavor.

The fries were plentiful.

We had the prickly pear wine margarita, it was good.

Ojo Caliente Restaurant and Hotel offers the perfect way to end a relaxing morning at the mineral spa. Just a short walk from the pools, you can enjoy a light and refreshing lunch—start with one of their crisp salads and don’t miss out on their flavorful enchiladas.

The meal is a delightful complement to a day of pampering, making it an absolute must-visit after your spa experience.

I was so beyond thrilled to have this restaurant as a part of my experience after my daily soaks at the Ojo pools but i will no more be giving my money to the Ojo Caliente Restaurant since every time i have dined in i have been poorly treated by most staff from the hostesses to the bartenders especially. I dont understand why cocktails are a part of the drink menu but every bartender i have dealt with has told me they dont do cocktails and refuse to address the cocktail section of the menu. Maybe consider taking margaritas off the drink menu if you only do “beer and wine”. Whoever was at the hostess stand and the woman working behind the bar during dinner on 11/17 should really be reconsidered. Not only was my friend mistreated but our whole group was blatantly ignored and it felt as though our orders were pushed to the side over and over again as the bartender continued to take new orders or answer personal phone calls on her cell phone with a restaurant full of guests. Its unfortunate that i do enjoy the food and have had amazing meals here but the experiences have been ruined every time by poor hospitality.

The experience at OCR was a disappointment. My wife and I were looking forward to our Thanksgiving dinner after we visited the OC hot springs. The menu was pre-set and we expected to have the full pre-set selection. That was not the case and one of the desert items we would like was not available. The dish I ordered (prawn linguini) was tasteless… over-salted prawns that seemed to be mixed with undercooked pasta at the last second. I left 80% of it untouched and the waiter never asked about my experience. The summary: overpriced and mediocre. We will not be back.

Spend the extra money and stay in the Cliffside suites!

So my wife and I went to Ojo Caliente in early February as an Anniversary trip. We wound up staying in a Cliffside suite and were blown away with the room! We loved the hot soaking tub in the back patio of our room. It was very relaxing being able to wake up and soak in the hot tub, or come back to the room late at night and soak.

The mineral pools were really relaxing and soothing. The hotel’s policy is “whisper-quiet” conversations, and they will ask you to quiet down or leave if you are a disturbance to the other guests. It sounds bad when you read it, but you have to keep in mind this hotel is meant for pure relaxation and being away from distractions. That means that children are not welcome in this hotel, although there is a sister hotel where they are welcomed.

My hot stone massage was very comfortable. Louda G was my massage therapist, and she was just an amazing individual who really loved her profession! All of the other hotel staff was really nice.

The food was…underwhelming. My wife and I ordered a steak and eggs, a breakfast burrito, and had a French toast dish for dessert. Her steak was over-cooked and had very little seasoning. My breakfast burrito was very bland. I can’t hate on the restaurant only as the other restaurant we drove to had a similar bland taste to their food as well. We just felt that for what was charged, the money was not well spent on the food at the Ojo Caliente Restaurant.

All in all, this was a very good relaxing vacation. We stayed 1.5 nights, and we don’t think we could spend any more time there. There is not a lot to do unless you want to go hiking or driving to explore the area. We would like to return again in the future, but we feel that there are other destinations we would like to travel to first before making a return visit.

I love this restaurant because of its setting and the fantastic New Mexican food they serve. They also feature vegetables from their farm on site. They did recently change and things at the spa seem to be modernizing. They have an awesome waiting area and bar out front. I recommend checking out.

We ate the breakfast here. Was alright nothing great. The steak had no seasoning salt, garlic, pepper..nothing. was also over cooked when I asked for medium rare. The french toast was good tho. I’d say take a 20 min drive and eat somewhere cheaper

I’ve never had a bad meal here in over 8 years. I love the farm to table meals and fresh well-thought-out flavors. HIGHLY recommend the restaurant!! However, get your reservation in advance for popular times on the weekends.
