An alright restaurant overall.
Nothing amazing about it though.
The seats were not that comfortable.
They were out of chips when I went, so no chips and salsa.
I ordered the huevos rancheros, which was just okay.
They definitely mean it when they say "smothered in green chile".
It was almost soupy there was so much.
Yet it wasn't very spicy.
Somehow it left me wanting more but also less at the same time (more spice, less liquid) which is not what you want.
It didn't taste bad though.

I hadn’t eaten here in more than 16 years but used to enjoy lunch when I worked at KAFB.
I had a layover and convinced a friend to give it a try.
We were not disappointed.
Delicious food, excellent service, and cute atmosphere. I got my New Mexican food fix with red and green chiles 🌶️ Highly recommend.
Much better than Los Cuates and each meal comes with two sopapillas.
A New Mexican classic. You can’t find food this good anywhere else.
😋

The place used to be a Pizza Hut back in the day, and it is quite evident from the typical shape of the building's roof, to the interior, which truly feels like you stepped back in time to 1978.
From the baby plastic dishes they use to serve the chips and salsa (the tiniest tortilla chips I have ever seen in a restaurant, with literally one spoonful of salsa, see pics) to the plastic plants used as part of the decoration.
I had the huevos rancheros, which came with 2 sopapillas, corn (or flour, I chose corn) tortillas and beans.
I had coffee with this, they charged me almost $4.00 for it, and the waitress only came to refill my mug one time despite the place being empty, not busy at all when I was there.
The huevos were served in this funky green plastic-looking skillet, which made it look quite unappetizing, the dish came with rice but you couldn't tell because it wasn't mentioned in the menu, and because everything (eggs, tortillas, rice) was covered by the shredded cheese, the salsas, and the refried beans.
The rice was hard, undercooked and flavorless, the sopapillas were fresh but rather small, and instead of giving you a bottle of honey, like all real traditional New Mexican restaurants do, they give you 2 packets of honey, which cheapens the whole thing even more.
Service was ok, neither rude nor pleasant, but you could tell the server was either having a bad day, or that she'd rather be somewhere else.
The bathrooms are filthy.
The only good things I can say about the place are that it is relatively cheap (about $19 for "chips and salsa", the huevos, the 2 sopapillas, and the coffee), and that there's plenty of parking.
Other than that, I would try to find some other place to placate your New Mexican food cravings.
