New Mexican Restaurants in Artesia, NM

“We stopped here after a long road trip. We enjoyed this place once before as newlyweds and now, 17 years later we got to enjoy it with our teen. It is located on Main Street and there were lots of cars. Generally that's a good sign. We walked in and were seated right away and offered a booth or table. I loved that. We like the booths and so often have to ask for them in places. The place is a very nice design. It's almost as though most of the tables have an intimate setting. Our server was pleasant and kind. We enjoyed her as she was very attentive as well. I read complaints on the salsa and while I can be a bit picky myself, this was okay. I'm originally from Texas and I know we are kind of salsa snobs. I mean....I was making my own salsa in my molcajete as a young teen. I got a small bowl of lemons for my water and dressed up our chips with lemon and salt. The chips were delicious and you can tell homemade. Our server never used empty with chips, salsa, or water. We were recommended to get the carne asada plate, southwest combo, and the chili rellenos.we had the rellenos on the buffet years ago. It was all still so good. The carne asada was amazing and moist. The flavor was amazing. My son got it cooked well done and it was still delicious. Highly recommend! The southwest combo was perfect for someone who wants a bit of everything. I got it with green and red sauce because I couldn't decide that either. The whole plate was great. The cheese chili rellenos with cheese sauce was epic. I mean it's like a spicy hotdog had a baby with a funnel cake. Yum!!!! We wanted to stick around and come back another day but we were on a tight schedule. Until next time. I don't understand why some of the reviews were so harsh. I mean there are all different types of Mexican food. I enjoy that New Mexico puts a bit of their own spin on it.“

“When my birthday came around but we were in EL QUARANTINE, hubby tried to cheer up my loneliness by taking me to #adoberoserestaurant in Artesia, NM, and, let me tell you, I couldn't have been more impressed. I got the Dr. Pepper braised shank (which totally fell off the bone!) while Mark ordered the enchiladas and loved his. And the servers were pretty chill! They even sang me their birthday song! Honestly, if you're ever down in Artesia, it's a must try! #gourmetrecovery #restuarantreviews #artesianm“
