I had the quesabirria, oh my goodness.... It was delicious and I can't wait to go back. This is not Tex Mex, or southwestern, it's Mexican and it's a wonderful break from the usual fare you get here in New Mexico. I like my read and green don't get me wrong but this is a step up in my opinion. Highly recommend!

Rio rancho has very few "Local" restaurants. This place is good and authentic! Glad to get away from all the food chain restaurants.

Trying out a new restaurant in Rio Rancho! The establishment is still working on the interior. This is a large establishment once inside I think they have plenty to add for atmosphere. It looks like there may be an area for beer and mixed drinks toward the back that is still progress. A liquor license is still in the works! I ordered the Tostado Mixta (Mixed Ceviche) and Pozole My Mixta plate come out quickly and looked great. A nice fresh plate of blended seafood , fresh vegetables , guacamole and more. The pozole serving is huge! I was thinking a cup size to complete my Mixta. I’ll be taking good food home. The red chili is really good with just the right amount of kick! They have been back in service for three weeks and with COVID relaxing they should have a good go at being successful. Five stars for now. The interior has allot of potential. Let’s see what happens!

Closer than California! Delicious Mexican food that I missed from living in California! Welcoming greetings when you enter, so many choices and prices are very reasonable! Place is exceptionally clean and Hilda was very helpful explaining menu and options. So many different seafood options, fresh salsa bar too! Give it a try there is something for everyone!

Food was amazing my family are from Tijuana Baja California & when I saw this place I just said to myself I have to try this Baja Mexican Food. First bite was a bean and cheese burrito and it was amazing I couldn’t help but keep taking bites because of how delicious it was , on the side I had salsa verde ( NOT GREEN CHILE ) Salsa Verde only true Mexicans know what that is & I just gotta say it was a super delicious fantastic combination! Me and my wife Loved it their customer service was amazing 5 star rating for them ! They got me and my wife good and we both plan to come back here in the future I RECOMMEND ANYONE WHO LOVES MEXICAN FOOD TO COME CHECK OUT THIS PLACE & SAY CHINO SENT YOU / SHOW THEM MY REVIEW THEY WONT LET YOU DOWN !
