The New Mexico Pizza is insanely good and fed 3 people with almost half still left. Like a big quesadilla with beans and meat and lettuce and tomato. Delicious, real churros and well priced.

Great food. Salsa is flavorful, the green is cool and complementary to the bold flavors of the dishes. The red is pungent and spicy, and pleasantly sneaks up on you. All the meats we've had so far have been really tender and full of flavor. Good flour and corn tortillas, fresh and tasty produce. Try the new Mexico pizza for sure. the street tacos are a great bang for your buck, sopapillas have great texture and flavor.

I found a hidden gem, if you like New Mexican style food, this a the spot. Customer service is awesome, they treat you like family and the food is fresh to order! I had the burrito that has rice,beans,greenchile,pork,potatoes. Very good. I also tried the red chile cheese fries with sour cream which was also a win! Dont sleep on this place

Bomb food. I couldn’t have enjoyed this meal any more. The young ladies working here made me the best quick dinner. The small town charm of their restaurant was wonderful. If you’re driving by on 15, pull off in Barstow and grab a bite.
