Passing through Raton, on my way down to Texas, I'd been craving Mexican food something fierce. Alfonso's to the rescue!The place is inside a gas station, but has an excellent variety of choices on their menu. Dining area is small, so best to ask for it "to go."I ordered the Chorizo Plate with flour tortillas ... or so I thought there'd be more than one. Actually it was one, BIG tortilla - more than enough to make some hand tacos with the chorizo. And what excellent chorizo it was! Flavorful and plenty of it. The beans and rice were equally tasty. For less than 12 bucks, this was a great plate of food. My only negative is service is s l o w ! There's one person taking orders from both the inside counter and the drive-thru. Likewise, there just one person preparing all the orders. BUT, if you don't mind the wait, it's worth it for great Mexican food.

Big menu variety. Good enchiladas. Great refried beans. Hearty portions. Recommended! Apparently there's also a really scenic canyon near Raton CO.

We ordered breakfast burritos here. This was our first time doing so being we travel here and there. I had, an egg, chorizo, bean, and potato burrito and my beautiful wife had an egg, bacon, potato with cheese burrito. We both agree they are GREAT! They are prepared fresh and delivered with pride. The red sauce is a great a complement to add if you like hot sauce. My wife loved the green sauce. The burritos are prepared with fresh delicious tortillas!The service is as expected. The grill is in a gas station so not much can be said about that but don't be fooled the food is delicious.

Chili Verde Plate was delicious, large portion and a perfectly filling lunch. Well it is located in a "filling" station. The guys behind the counter were great, service was fast and they made sure they checked on everything to make sure it was right. There is minimal ambience -- standard tables, plastic utensils, paper plates. This place just serves up tasty meals at affordable prices for people like me who are on the go and just passing through Raton. Glad I found this place.

The taco plate was perfect for a road trip stop. Homemade taco shells were excellent. The price was right for the generous portion. There are no frills as it is a gas station restaurant, but worth the stop.

It's a gas station, it's a quick shop, it's a super place to get Mexican food to go or eat in. The menu is expansive and every item we tried was excellent. Monday four of us had chile rellenos, enchilada and tostada, carnitas and chile verde. All with beans, fabulous rice (per a true rice snob) and fresh made flour tortillas. They have Mexican drinks also. Tuesday two of us had cheese enchilada and beef burrito and fried rolled tacos. Again with beans and THE rice! If you add a churro like someone I know did you'll be stuffed. May have breakfast tomorrow before we leave town. It is in the Alta quick shop at a Conoco station. Well worth the visit. You could get gas also but the food is what will bring you back.

I originally wanted the chile relleno but they didn't have any so I ordered the chile verde plate. My boyfriend ordered the carne asada. In short, the food was great but the guy taking people's orders seemed like he was one Karen away from going postal. He was as the youths say, "straight up not having a good time." Great, dependable food, grouchy dude. The cook in the back, however was singing his heart out to Kid Rock's "Cowboy" like he was auditioning for American Idol. 5 shiny stars for him.

Passing through and decided to give it a go-not disappointed, ignore the gas station association, they make great old style Mexican food, shredded beef had good chunks of onion and peppers, mild and good flavor. Beans were creamy an$ smooth, chips right out of fryer, hot and tasty. Salsa was good and chunky, green sauce spicy. Missed the 5 stars since the cheese enchiladas were not really melted, but the red sauce was on the spot and they were out of rellenos . Went through the drive thru, would recommend going in to get a more leisurely ordering experience.

Food gave me nasty chorro after, ordered chips queso and got a side of shredded cheese. Wish I hadn't stopped to eat here. I'm traumatized about eating Mexican food. Would recommend only to prisoners.
