I've dined here for breakfast twice and I ordered the Huevos a la mexicana both times and enjoyed the way it came out most definately, my father said that the chorizo was good also. There's only so many options to eat out at in this town, I recommend El Faro. Service was great too. A fair amount of parking and nice location. Nice atmosphere, nice lighting.

Great food and service , first visit , went for lunch , enjoyed the combo plate , great authentic food, salsa was amazing, bought some to go but unfortunately it must be frozen to get through TSA, my mother had a green chili burger and fries, service was great, hope to be back soon, thank you .

You'll appreciate the offering here. Simple, easy, and they're not gouging anyone with their old school prices. Biggest burger served in town at the cheapest price in town. Get 2 meals in one with the giant El Jefe burrito for only 15. All to-go meals come with chips and salsa too, so that makes an already good deal great!

This is authentic Mexican food the Chimichanga was delicious. The meat is so soft and full of flavor. The service was good, the waitress did her best even though was really busy.

We had dinner there on 3/17/25. I believe our server was Reana (very good server). The salsa was PERFECT (not too spicy and not too mild). The service and atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxing. The food was what you would expect, but then add a few levels better! Everything tasted freshly made and had very good flavors and seasoning. Their flans (they have several different kinds) are worth trying. This is a perfect restaurant for a nice dinner after soaking in the hot springs. Keep up the excellent work!

Always a place I must stop at in T or C. Maybe the best chile relleno I've ever had.

Delicious food and you can taste that the chile is homemade; the red is personally my favorite! We got the chimichanga (shredded beef), the bean and cheese burrito, and red and green cheese enchiladas. All worth trying, and like I said, the red is delicious!

Great place for Breakfast and lunch. Food is tasty and not oily. Had New Mexico Omelettes Green(beef) and Red (pork)both delicious. Fajitas and skirt steak also very good......moist but not oily.
