Cotton Eyed Joe's Restaurant — Restaurant in Socorro

I can tell I was gonna have a problem by the way they looked at me when I walked in. (I'm an albino Latina, most people thing I'm "White") They spoke to me in Spanish, I spoke back in perfect Spanish. Can tell the waitress was bothered by that, then she spoke to me in English. We ordered and of course our order was wrong when brought out. I could see waitress talking about us as well. In the end I didn't want it anymore because it's common for people around here to mess with your food, especially the kind that work there. They tried to force me to take new plate(suspicious right? What they do to it?) New , correct plate was ready in 5 mins but original order took 20 mins. I kept insisting I didn't want any and was told the cook would be mad if I didn't take it. (Really? Yikes) I still had to pay for something I didn't eat because they got it wrong and cook got mad, I left shaking by how confrontational they were. I'd stay away. Not worth the mamadas or confrontational staff who can't even apologize. In the end clearly they need the money and I'm always giving to charity so glad I can...

The salad bar is not big but you get some prepared salads like chicken or tuna salad. I will go back and try other items. They are open late during the week and on Sunday they close at 2:00. Try it for yourself. It is far from town but it does not need to advertise. Sometimes there is a line to get a table. There are plenty of tables and still there is a...

We came to enjoy good food because family comes all the time, but left with empty stomachs. 4 tables were sat after us and got their food quickly. After about 30 minutes waiting waitress came to ask what we got and said she would ask how much longer. Meaning she didn't even put our order in. After almost an hour, we went to pay for our drinks and the cashier looked confused. When we told him we didn't get our order, all he said was "Well we're busy right now." We arrived before it even got busy. Then our waitress came and told him to comp our drinks. For some reason he got an apology and we didn't. From either. Wish I could...
