Los Caballeros

I've eaten here regularly for over ten years.  This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the eastern U. S.!  I've lived and eaten all over the country, including 6 years in New Mexico, and outside of Santa Fe, this place is my choice.

The decor is simple ("Mexican kitsch") and the place is quiet (no TV; low-playing Mexican music for background).  It's family owned and operated, and the service is quick, polite ("Senor", Senora") and friendly, without being too assertively familiar.

Everything on the menu is tasty and what you'd expect from standard Mexican fare in the U.S.  

What sets this place apart though are their chiles rellenos.  They use large, meaty Poblano peppers (not cheap, tissue-thin Anaheims), filled with a rich queso and ground beef filling.  The egg-white coating is crisp and the light sauce is very tasty.  They are served piping hot.  These are the best rellenos I've had outside of Santa Fe.

The prices here are very reasonable.

Overall it's a great eatery with great value.

Seems to be family run, good food, good service.  I was there on Wednesday night, and they had a GREAT Mariachi band.  I am in the area on business and will definitely return.

This is one of the better Mexican restaurants I've ever eaten at, and definitely the best one in this area.  Prices are good, the place always seems clean, and the staff is always attentive and helpful.

My favorite dish off the menu is the Chili Colorado.
