We loved it. My fiance has been wanting to go here for years, and we finally made it. Wait, wans't long considering that we showed up shortly after 12, they had only been open for an hour and we had 3 groups in front of us, maybe waited 5 min. They have such good food and service. We chose the BBQ Platter Half Combination that says it's good for 2 people. It was just perfect for 2 people. We split it between us and filled us both up, only i had leftovers. The BBQ sauce they served with the platter was good. It had a good flavor and spice with a little sweetness, but the sweet heat BBQ sauce they had on the table was too sweet for me. We will definitely we back to try the mac and cheese, I didn't see that they had that tille we left.

This place is amazing! It was our first time eating here since moving to the East Mountains and it did not disappoint. The food was amazing , the staff were super nice and the price was right! My husbands enchiladas were some of the best he has ever had, he said the green Chile was amazing! They make their own tortilla chips and they are so good! The salsa had great flavor , very good and spicy! We cannot wait to go back! Attached is a picture of the chicken Flautas, they were excellent!!!!

This place is always amazing. Super friendly staff with really great food. The only place around that has a great mole sauce. The chicken they use is fresh and super juicy! Makes for great gorditas and burritos. Pozole is the best. Big portions! I only wish you could get a cold beer with it here. Unique flavors used here set it apart from other restaurants.

I just moved to New Mexico and I make a drive for this place. I come almost weekly since my first time eating here. I absolutely love the food and the service. I get the queso and shredded beef burrito. It is the only burrito I will admit I have enjoyed since moving here. I highly recommend everyone come enjoy the pretty drive and delicious food. This is where I’ll be bringing my friends and family when they visit.

Delicious, fresh, and healthy vegan options. We had the tacos and tostada and both were amazing. The un-pork is super yummy! Will definitely be stopping by again when I'm in the East Mountains, and it was tasty enough for me to want to go out of my way from Albuquerque for takeout.

This is a great East Mountain must-have. Their food is made with heart, and is always delicious. Though I can take the heat, they bring the spice down because they listen to their community and its needs. Regardless, the food is great, the staff is always kind, patient, and helpful. Truly a little gem on the Turquoise Trail. I'll be back often.
