Picacho Peak Brewing Company — Restaurant in New Mexico

This place is our home...ish. We go here religiously, every Friday. Like if we're not there we're sick or out of town. Sadly covid has been brutal to keep staff but EVERY member of them that have come and went have a little place in our hearts for how well they treat us, including the owner of course. We love them enough we almost want to help go wash dishes when they're packed, because they're really busting their butt. They do tell customers "hey we're packed and short staffed, unless you dont mind waiting you may want to head somewhere else" which i think is reasonable when they're busy and still they are able to treat us very respectful and with smiles even when so. We always stick around happily, we're theyre to hang and are patient because 9 out of 10 times they seem on top of it in our opinion. This place since we came for a anniversary dinner felt like the perfect place, we love being on the farm side of town, the views are great, the smell during the mansoon season takes us back east and feels so nice. Minus the mosquitoes...but even then staff has you covered with spray on those muggy days for outside. We love the entertainment that comes, the court yard and stage is...relaxing. My husband loves their ipa's...well...actually he loves them all, all the beers. I must say....hands down...the Nachos...are THEE best in town. And I would know because since we been here I've tried MANY throughout town. No one beats their nachos. Sorry guys, only rad comes sort of close. They got that, perfect sour cream, and if employees that work there now read that they know exactly who this is bahaha. And that queso ON THE NACHOS? Yeah hands down best. Also, they do have vegan options, not too many but enough to have my vegan friend join us comfortably because the atmosphere is worth it. They have a huge banquet hall as well, perfect for company parties I think( weddings...etc). Someone said the place was small.........what? Open the door? You can fit a Olympic pool in there bro, you can eat there if you don't like the bar side with no fuss. Or outside in their huge courtyard. They have outdoor party buildings too in the courtyard as pictured. It's VERY family friendly, kid, dogs, friends, elderly, great feeling to let the kids run(outside) while having some good food. If you eat inside with kids the banquet room is great for them if you cant keep them seated, i prefer to sit in the window area and my kid is just fine with crayons and fries. This is where we love our Friday nights, either as family date night or a big group that tags along, or if I'm lucky an actual date night. Those nachos though...oh...the tacos! I forgot about the tacos...best taco Tuesday IMO. They do have events but if you show up before 6:30, we have always still had great service despite it. Infact it's fun, feels like we're crashing weddings, nice time to people watch and feel like part of the community. Idk. Lol. If you're easy going and love good food and beer(I dont even go to drink it is souly for those nachos) you'd enjoy this. If you see...

Previous to tonights visit, which is one of many stops at Picacho Peak, we would indulge in rolled tacos (flautas). Each order would come with A cup of queso. As always, we already know what we were going to order when the server stopped by. He took our order and we waited and waited as one would be expected to on a packed house also on A typical Taco Tuesday night. When we got our bill, sticker shock threw us all the way to the dirty mud volleyball pit out back. What used to be 10 dollars for ten of these delicious rolled tacos (flautas) turned into 20 dollars for ten hard dried rolled up tacos! One with a hidden toothpick surprise in the middle of it. We ordered two so our bill was 50 plus with drinks. And we only got one serving of queso! Did Picacho Peak get greedy as I understand they raised their prices on everything in the menu. But 20 dollars for rolled tacos??? I had to take A second look at our waiter to be sure he wasn’t wearing A white tuxedo passing the Dom Perignon around the table. Sorry but your rolled tacos should not be prime rib prices. I always have enjoyed your restaurant and good beer but I will not be ordering rolled tacos (flautas) from your menu...

If you’re reading this, use this recommendation to make the decision for you. My fiance and i are from philly and DC respectively. We have been to many breweries and like to think we have a clue. Take Picacho Ave just that LITTLE bit further. It’s worth it. This was our first time visiting Picacho Peak. Myself and my fiance live in El Paso and my in-laws came from southern MD to visit. We can’t say enough positive things. Beer: there are 20 house brews on tap with a great variety. This isn’t another brewery that just pumps out IPAs and shrugs their shoulders. As far as food goes they don’t disappoint. The brunch menu is stellar. You can choose large portions of breakfast foods or just as large lunch options. The full menu looks solid too, but we didn’t get a chance to check that out. The GM is Zane. Talk about a guy dedicated to his craft. He and his team provide excellent customer service and he does all he can to ensure great events take place. It might be a little bit out of the way, but...
