Restaurants in Ruidoso

“5 out of 5 rating!!! best burger I've had”

“@isaacthepup loves it too!”

“Amazing affordable homecooked food. I got the breakfast burrito (8/10) and two pecan pancakes (9/10) with coffee. It was only $20 before tip, with good portions. It's small but very charming and cozy inside and the beautiful handmade tables and woodwork really add to the charm. Super friendly staff and patrons. I had a really great visit and I'll be sure to stop by next time I'm in this lovely town.”

“Excellent and delicious food!!!! Mandatory stop at Ruidoso”

“The food was terrific, and the staff were so welcoming and friendly!”

“Amazing food truck burger. Portions are big, I got the single patty burger all the way with the special sauce and it was great. I have a feeling I’ll be sleeping the rest of the day. Lol Will try to make it back over here anytime I’m in Ruidoso.”

“Best breakfast in Ruidoso”

“Pleasant place, good beers and good customer service, cozy inside is the correct word to give it one of the definitions, good background music, bohemian place, the atmosphere is the best, seductive and attractive, warm weather, beautiful decoration, we will return, !”

“Fantastic flavors, great serving size.”

“Absolutely amazing pizza and amazing customer service! We called in and ordered a slice of pizza for my toddler and the woman offered to have it cut up smaller for him. It seems like a small gesture but I sincerely appreciated it very much! New favorite pizza shop! 😋10/10!!”

“The breakfast bowl was AMAZING! Great atmosphere, the staff are always friendly and make you feel right at home. Fantastic beer and the pizza was phenomenal! Can’t say enough good things about this place.”

“We had a large party that came in at 8:45 to celebrate a birthday and waited to be sat for a bit. May Lucero was our waitress and she was and always is awesome. Where most servers get annoyed at serving a large party so late in the evening, she served us with a smile and did a fabulous job! Servers should learn from her! We had a great evening because of her and she took great care of us.”

“Absolutely worth it. Im skeptical about Mexican food because I love it hot hot. A lot of places claim to have spicy food, but it doesn't do anything for me. Ole Taco definitely hit spicy on the nail. The salsa has some decent kick. I ordered the adovada chimi and it was delicious. I also got the chile cheese fries and they had a good kick.”

“I so missed some good Ole brisket and came across 440 Smokehouse and OH BOY!!! The brisket just melts in your mouth.. this is one of the best tasting brisket I have had in a very long time.. glad I found this little gem.. or food truck I should say..

Very delicious ? I inhaled that sucker❤️”

“This is easily one of the coziest spots in Midtown—no question about it! The warm, friendly service perfectly complements their incredible sandwiches. And don’t skip the fresh-baked cookies—they’re truly next-level. I’ll absolutely be back for more!”

“The older gentleman here was very friendly and helpful. We had a very nice conversation with him while he filled our order. Ordered some delicious hot chocolate and purchased some desserts to take back with me. Got a piece of red velvet cake, pecan pie, cinnamon roll and cheese cake all are very delicious. He also has a few gift items for sale too. Will definitely go back again on my next trip.”

“OMG the best!!! Must have yogurt!! The Boba drinks are the bomb!!! Boba balls yesss. Fun games as well:)”

“Amazing service and so kind!! We stopped in for a couple of coffees and snacks and the staff was so sweet and the treats and coffee were great!! Grateful to find such a sweet spot on our vaca.”

“The food here is always the best. Better than any other schlotzskys in the state for sure. My favorites are the Cali flatbread and the fiesta chicken sandwich. They always have great staff on hand and the atmosphere is nice when there's not a bunch of people there but still very worth it.”

“The most delicious burgers in all of Ruidoso.
Excellent place to go to enjoy a delicious dinner.
I recommend the chili burger with remover, with some good fries”

“Great food and great service! Would highly recommend”

“Highly recommend this cute taproom in the middle of town! They brew their own beer with just the right amount of selection, and also have some great merchandise for souvenirs. Definitely stop here--support local, as the community is recovering from the devastating fire and mudslides.”

“Got breakfast this morning! The green chile pork and potato burrito was sooooo good!!! My husband really enjoyed the egg, sausage, and green chile burrito! Got some pastries for later!! Very happy 🫶🏻”

“It has guided my grandson. The staff is amazing”

“Oh my gosh, this is so close to my moms cooking. This place has amazing food, staff and atmosphere. This is definitely our required stop when we make our monthly Ruidoso trip.”

“Just tried Torino’s hot dog lunch special and can’t wait to try all of their new menu items as they come out! 10/10 I’m so excited we’ve finally got a new and different restaurant in Ruidoso!”

“Authentic Mexican food, very friendly, reasonable prices, and clean”

“Very nice people, and great breakfast will go again when we visit ruidoso.”

“The chicken tenders & green chili chicken fried steak are heavenly enough to give you an out of body experience!”

“Garcia’s in Ruidoso is absolutely the Best Mexican Food in town and their Breakfast is great also!”

“Best Mexican food in Ruidoso. Fast and friendly service.”

“A small 8-table restaurant tucked into a corner of a small shopping plaza in Midtown Ruidoso. Relatively unimpressive UNTIL one tries the food. The sashimi and sushi were both excellent and the fish very fresh. One of the best sushi restaurants that I have tried from coast to coast. We will be eating at this establishment every time we come to Ruidoso. I would have given a solid 5 star review except that the sashimi pieces were smaller than what most sushi restaurants serve. But the food was EXCELLENT!”

“My quick fix of the day. Love their nachos and the steak chimichanga.”

“The breakfast bowl was AMAZING! Great atmosphere, the staff are always friendly and make you feel right at home. Fantastic beer and the pizza was phenomenal! Can’t say enough good things about this place.”

“Really enjoyed our steaks last night. We ordered the filet and the tenderloin medallions and both were cooked perfectly and flavorful. My husband said it was the most tender filet he’s ever had. Our service was great and our server, Shayla was kind and friendly. The staff were super attentive to clearing our plates, filling drinks and checking in on us. We definitely recommend stopping by here!”

“This is the best KFC in the United States, maybe the WORLD! The customer service is awesome. Very courteous, friendly employees. The restaurant is always clean. The food is consistently good. The manager at this location is doing a GREAT job!”

“We visited for breakfast about a week ago and wished we'd stopped by earlier so we had time to go again before heading home! The Hondo Chile Relleno omelette was just perfect - fluffy eggs, delicious green chile, cheese, all topped with a green chile sauce I'd buy by the gallon if that was an option! Served with choice of bread (I chose a biscuit) and crispy rosemary potatoes to soak up the extra sauce. Service was fast and friendly! Can't wait to visit again the next time we're in town.”

“The best Mexican breakfast in town and priced well.”

“Grill Caliente does have the best Chile relleno I’ve ever had. I 100% agree with Marylou. It is breaded just how I like my rellenos, crispy. I also ordered the stuffed avocados. They were delicious as well. I highly recommended Grill Caliente. Great service and not too pricey.”

“I really love the hotcakes. The cashier was very nice and respectful and the staff was also respectful too. Just needs some improvement with the floor and the chairs but mostly everything looks good as new”

“Excelente comida, muy buen ambiente y muy buen servicio, nos gustó mucho !”

“Best steak, great service!”
