Customer's reviews

This was the perfect spot for a spicy craving. Hubby and I had a date night here and sat on the patio. It was a beautiful evening. They have a large patio facing the main street. The servers were nice and they did a great job anticipating our needs. We were greeted with blue and yellow corn tortilla chips with 3 various salsas. We ordered the cheese crisp with green chili for an appetizer. Fair warning it was very large. (Like a large pizza). The flavor was delicious and the cheese melted off each piece perfectly. The shrimp enchiladas and the green chili Verde plate with pinto beans and roasted corn were great entrees. Both were generous portions and the spice level was great. #newmexicanfood #greenchili #chilicolorado #cheesecrisp ~ Katrina &
First time coming here and I will go again!! We had a party of 8 and did not have to wait to be seated. They have a wonderful selection of drinks. I tried the old fashioned(better like scotch) it had a unique taste a little on the bitter side. I also had the jalepeno margarita.. And that. Definitely had a kick!! If you like spicy , thats the way to go. Chilies are thier specialty. I got the Chile plate which is your choice of meat and two sides. I got thier red chile sauce over shredded chicken. With, sautéed squash and corn, and rice. Amazing!! Also others in our group had the carne asada, so tender. Braised short ribs , fajitas... Every thing that was ordered was phenomenal.. There wasnt anything that was bad with this experience. Loved it ~ Sarah W
So we had originally planned to go somewhere else for Valentine's Day and that didn't happen. So we stopped here. This was our first time and we were impressed!! The food was delicious!! I had the shrimp burrito enchilada style. We ordered the queso dip for an appetizer and it knocked our socks off. Sooooo good! And I had the best Margarita here. No joke. My husband even ordered one after tasting mine and he doesn't even drink much!! Brysen was our waiter and he did an awesome job. He checked on us continuously and showed good customer service. Answered all of our questions too. Something that's hard to get sometimes. In the middle of our dinner the owner came up to talk. To see if everything was ok. I appreciate that. We will return!! ~ Crystal M
