It's a great spot. Big place with indoor and outdoor seating and a drive thru. Staff works hard and fast to get your order out quickly. I got a Deluxe breakfast burrito. Has red chili sauce, potatoes, cheese, egg, and I opted for the steak. Great flavor, price is fair, quality is great. I have friends that live here and also frequent Ruidoso, often that stand by this place. They are not wrong.

Everything at this restaurant was delicious. My family had the menudo, the asado, burritos, pancakes and French toast, and everything was great. Definitely recommended.

I gave this place a four because my daughter ordered French Toast and it took a long time for her to get her plate. We were almost done with our's before she got her's. Otherwise, amazing. The food was hot and fresh. Homemade tortillas. They have a salsa bar. It's clean. Staff was extremely nice. It's about 10 a person give or take. I had the omelette. It was so good. I will definitely be going here again!

I was on my way to San Diego from Texas .I decided to re route through Ruidoso for the night .I looked at reviews for restaurants in the are LA Salsa had best reviews from what I saw .so I decided to go I'm glad I did. I first walked in place looked great you order from front counter. And behold a Beautiful Angel walked up to me and said HI GOODMORNING. Vy polite very beautiful woman she took my order and had some small talk. She ask if I was from there because she hasn't seen me before .told here I was passing through .she said come back and see us .very nice very polite .my plan was to stop by on my way out just to see here but didn't have a chance .I never got her name .she is definitely a angel from above. Hopefully get to go back through rudiso again soon.. Craig from Houston Tx

I came in with my mom. We didn’t know they were about to close, but the staff was my simpatico and the food was excellent for a fast food style taco stand. Get a good New Mexican meal at an affordable price and down in with real silverware and plates. Make it a point to visit next time you’re in Ruidoso.

Food was absolutely delicious. We have a family of 6 and everyone finished their meal. Def recommend the menudo, green beef enchiladas, and French toast. Can't remember the name of queso dip with Chorizo but also highly recommend. Servers had a smile and were very friendly. Atmosphere was welcoming and clean. Thank you for such a wonderful meal we will be back!!!

Love the food here. The steak tortas are amazing and the posole is deliTacos. You have to get there right when they open on the weekend just to get menudo or posole because they run out all the time. I didn't like the chicken tacos. The different salsas are delicious Definitely worth it.
