Ate here for the first time yesterday during their lunch hours specials (11am-3pm). The lunch hour menu items offered were under $15 and they were full size meals, satisfying my friend who was starving. Prices on the regular menu were around $20 bucks except for the steaks which were in the price range of close to $30 & $40 depending on the cut.

Prices are comparable to Applebees & Chilis nowadays or Olive Garden. Then again, have you gone to Burger King/McDonalds/Wendys etc? If you order a large combo meal you are looking at close to $13 for fast food. I don't know about you but I rather eat at an actual restaurant.

The food was really good. The melted queso with rajas was so goooood. Enough for 3 people with some left over. My husband enjoyed his steak lunch special, couldn't finish the whole meal though due to the queso tacos we stuffed our faces with! I had the lunch special tacos and they were good but could have used a little more fat or flavor, the meat was a little dry. My friend had the lunch enchiladas and he wiped the plate clean, truly enjoyed them. The sweet tea got the approval rating of both my husband and friend and the lemonade I ordered was refreshing and homemade! My favorite.

The ambiance was nice, relaxing. The restaurant was clean, plenty of sitting room. They have another section separated by swinging doors that is the bar area. The outside has a children's playground which I found pretty neat. Let's parents enjoy their meal because the kids can use up their wild energy playing outside. The service was slow but it was just our waiter. The other two waiters working were hustling and actually took the time to help us out when our waiter was MIA (Missing in Action).

All in all, I will definitely swing by this restaurant anytime I leave Cloudcroft and come down to El Paso. Aside from the service from our waiter, everything about this restaurant was A-OK with me.
