El Taquito Cafe

I will have to differ with the generally-positive reviews others have posted. We stopped by at lunchtime over the weekend. Our table was covered in crumbs, and decorated with a bowl of the previous occupants' half-eaten salsa. Waitress seemed unfamiliar with the menu. Food took over 30 minutes to arrive. Scrambled eggs were nice & fluffy but hash browns were so overcooked as to be inedible. New Mexican food was very greasy, and the rice & beans tasted like they came out of a can. Bathroom was out of toilet paper and paper towels- eww.

Located in Ojo Caliente, NM.  Cute little restaurant.  All the food is cooked to order.  Prices are not too bad.  There was a mix up with my order of a cheese enchilada, the girl asked for what kind of sauce I'd like, I told her red, but if it doesn't come with meat.  She answered me, it was cheese.  When my order came, my sauce had meat in it.  If you are a vegetarian, you have to be persistent in the no meat sauce option.  

The food was really good.  Authentic.  I just had my sauce issue and felt all awkward after wards.  If you are visiting the Ojo Caliente hot springs, this is a great alternative if you are on a budget and need a bite to eat.

BEST green chili!phenominal sopapias! Better by far than the expensive downtown hot spots. Truck stop atmosphere, but I wasn't looking for atmosphere. Out in the middle of nowhere, this is a gem I'd recommend to anyone looking for really good down home food at really reasonable prices! If you are going to the hot springs but not looking to spend a fortune at their restaurants, check this place out.
