“I love the food but I wish they put their actual hours. I've gone 3 times in the middle of the day and they've been closed every single time, online it says 5am-7pm, this is not true, they close at 2pm. Unfortunately for me I didn't know this and their hours in real life are in Spanish and the hours on Google are incorrect. Would love to eat here more often it sucks theyre closed that early.“

“Context: Road trip for caverns
Grabbed lunch here on the way out of town.
Read “it is always good and always quick.”
That was our experience.
Ordered a cheeseburger and barbacoa tacos.
Perfect burger
Perfect tacos
Unpretentious and tasty at a great price!
What more can you ask for?
Would recommend if you want to get a great lunch in a laid back restaurant l.“

“Our first time today. We had a super lunch. Started out with the tea being fresh. Salsa and chips were tasty, not too spicy, shrimp tacos, perfectly balanced with a nice slaw and avacado. Pork asado extremely flavorful yet not too hot! Will definitely go back again!“

“Excellent experience. Food was hot and fresh. Chips are the best ever with a little seasoning that makes them so craveable. Their red sauce is traditional for New Mexico and favorable but just too spicy for me. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful and answered all my many questions with a smile. She made our dining experience perfect. If we ever come this direction again when traveling we will definitely stop back in.“

“Beautiful place. It's a walking tour. Floors are wide enough and well-maintained. The cave is mostly dry, so there is not much trouble with water on the floor. There is an elevator at the end to bring you back up. Amazing formations to see. There are two gift shops and a snack bar in the building that houses the entrance. We enjoyed it very much.“
“I usually get tacos here for lunch. My wife and I love them because they are not greasy. Made to order while you wait for them. Of course the shell is pre-made, as are the rest of the ingredients which make for a fast turnaround time. This time I went to get nopales and corn chips. I ended up skipping the nopales because they were old and had dark spots on them. So I only got the chips.“

“The best green chile cheeseburger in the state of New Mexico. The bun was perfectly toasted, covered in diced onions, a healthy stealthy hot green chile blend, melt cheese and a decent sized patty. They off the San option in the “flip” a burger in a grilled tortilla, with beans, cheese, lettuce, and tomato. The soft tacos were corn, lightly grilled with butter & filled with a copious blend of lettuce, cheese, & ground beef, served with chili con queso, for dipping of course. If you are a vegetarian, no problemo, they make everything to order, and use fantastic produce. This restaurant is worth the drive to Carlsbad New Mexico, from anywhere! I ate there twice in an hour.“
