as a new mexican i just want to state that those of you saying this is like authentic new mexican food are completely out of your minds.. However. the food is not bad, just not what i was expecting.. the service was also really great!

This is a truly fine restaurant. The service is excellent, the decor is fabulous, the prices are reasonable and best of all the food is true New Mexico food at its very best. We absolutely love this place. The enchiladas are stacked rather than rolled, in true New Mexico style. The peppers used in the red and green chili sauces are New Mexico raised. I grew up in New Mexico and this food is in my blood. My wife on the other hand is from New England. She had her first exposure to this food in Albuquerque when she attended the University of New Mexico. She's now as ardent a fan as I am and has become a pretty good cook of New Mexico food in her own right. She too is crazy about Santa Fe flats. We don't drink but many of the restaurants other customers each time we visit are enjoying the house margaritas served in large beer mugs. When the weather is decent, the kids play outside in a sandbox while we dine in an adjacent covered ramada. Live music is provided outside several times a week. We've been coming here now for over three years and the same waitstaff has been here the whole time. The proprietors, whose roots are in New Mexico, have done a fabulous job in bringing New Mexico's finest food to Houston.

Excellent food and low prices. I love sitting outside in their covered patio area that they do their best to keep cool in the summer and warm in the winter. My favorite is the vegetable burrito. It's 2 meals worth for about $7. Beer is cold. The only thing I haven't liked is their mojitos and I was put off a bit when I asked for a little more queso for my burrito and was charged $2 for it. I made them take it back. Other than that, this is a great place!
