Located in the middle of nowhere. And only open during certain parts of the season, this quite little restaurant is great for a nice trip into the country. Pretty good food and guacamole. more

The service was poor and the food was worse. None of our party of 4 was pleased with their meals. Chicken adovada was bland, the salad was drenched in dressing, the blue corn enchiladas were filled with cheep chedder cheese, the jalapeno starters were like something you would microwave from a box, and the refried beans and spanish rice were... more

I have been wanting to go here for about 5 years ever since I read a friends book about it. I was hesitant as my hubby doesn't like Mexican food. In addition, we arrived about 3pm and weren't sure they would be serving - but that was not the case at all. We had a choice of lunch or dinner... more

Best margaritas anywhere. If any restaurant in the United States embodies New Mexican cuisine, this is it. Make the trip; it's worth the effort. The chile bouquets hanging outdoors greet the weary traveller and hold a promise of many wonderful things to come. more

We were running late and only had time for an afternoon visit to sample the appetizers. We will give this place a second chance and eat off the main menu next time, and will forego the appetizers. The petite chile rellenos were dominated by a stuffing of cream cheese and a greasy breaded coating. The guacamole was unexceptional. I forget... more

Hatch may mean green (while you are in New Mexico look for a “green chile cheeseburger”), Chimayo red is the #1 chile! This is the BEST New Mexican food in the world--no slams on Old Mexico! New Mexican IS Old Mexican with a southwestern twist. If you understand the complexity of cocina Mexicana you will love this New Mexican contribution.... more

By far the best New Mexican food we had while driving around northeast NM. So good, we went out of our way to go back! The food is as authentic as it comes, margaritas made like they should be and very friendly service. Our favorites, the chili rellenos and blue tortilla shrimp enchiladas. Supurb! Reservations recommended because this place is... more

I went to this place 30 plus years ago while traveling on business. I tried for several years to get there with my wife as I was so impressed. We planned a trip the the grand canyon and Santa Fe, Nm. I set up a stay at the Rancho's Country Inn across the road and have dinner. My wife said... more
