Great place for some New Mexico Mexican food! Go visit the Riverbend Hot Springs, and then come here to re-energize! Portions are great, and so is the food. For dessert, get the Sopapillows! Mmmm! Staff is very friendly!

I had a great experience here. Called ahead to see about gluten-free options and they confirmed that the red chile sauce had no flour so we headed in. The server (who I think was an owner or manager?) was great and brought me an actual gluten-free menu with plenty of options. I had a cheese enchilada and really good pork tamale. The salsa was delightfully garlicky and I would have bought a jar to take home if I'd remembered to ask. Our service was very good, and the food came pretty quickly. The food was great, and a warning to out-of-state visitors - the red chile was pretty hot (which I liked). I was glad to discover this place, and my only criticism would be that the seats in the booth need cushions!

I'm on a motorcycle trip across the USA and stopped here for a meal. I ordered the ribeye and could not believe how tender, juicy and perfectly cooked it was. Now mind you, I've had 19 ribeye in this trip so far across Oklahoma and Texas and this was 100% the best. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, the beer icy cold and best of all, they are right across the street from my hotel, the Holiday Inn Express.

If you want a good meal with great service, then come and see Stephanie at La Cocina. She was the best server that we have had in a long time. She was friendly, kind, and she hustles! She served our table of ten like a pro. We will definitely be coming back!
