Within the last two months we have been here for a late lite lunch, ya know save room for dinner! The first time in early January both of us ordered the appetizer "taquito bowl" and 2 waters. A small bowl filled with 8 half size taquitos dunked in a good amount of queso! It was so yummy great!!! Freshly made, some heat, and you need to ask for a basket full of tortilla chips to finish off the queso!!! We were full!Our server Sonny, is the absolute best waiter! Caring, attentive and kind!There was no question that on our second visit a few days ago that we would order the "same thing." Once again, the taquitos & queso were delicious!! I did order a spicy margarita this time and loved it! Sonny was our server, and we were happy to see him again! I am sure we will be back and maybe have dinner next time. When that happens we will want Sonny as our server!!!

I enjoy their chiles' flavor, but prices have crept up and up and up and service has really deteriorated (I said "thank you" to my server _five_ times today and his only response - and only once! - was "Yup!"). Not as clean as it has been: I was seated at a booth today that needed to have its top wiped - and no one wiped it - or came to wipe it, so I did it. Food was served and but no silverware; had to request it. Salsa and chips - which are quite delicious - are no longer complientary, but are a $5 add-on to the already pricey ($18 for a plate of enchiladas?) food. And my $14 burger today - while yummy - was served with wilted lettuce and tomato that should have been in the garbage, not on a customer's plate. This was during a weekday lunch - at the front end of the lunch, so it wasn't busy. This outlet of Cocina Azul on Holly clearly needs some managerial attention. Friends and I have been coming here for lunch every couple of months, but I think I just need to back-burner this place and make the slightly longer drive to a better restaurant.

The green chili cream pork soup was too spicy for most of us. Liked the burger and a taco. Line out the door on Saturday 14 October after the eclipse and balloon festival. Please put a QR code in the window so that people can see the menu before they enter

Ever go to try a new place and as soon as you walk in, you know it's not going to be a good experience? But you talk yourself into staying thinking maybe it'll get better? With the vibe of an abandoned Chili's that has been taken over,confusingly, by country music, prepare to begin your experience by awkwardly standing in the lobby wondering if anyone is in charge of seating or if you should have sat yourself. Expect to finally be sat in a dilapidated dimly lit corner booth that may or may not have been cleaned and have one cheek falling into the broken section of booth the rest of your meal. We tried moving. Same issue. The only thing keeping this from a one star review is that our waitress was lovely and the food (when it finally arrived, years later) was pretty good. The chile was hot and there's fideo on the menu. I really liked the creamy chicken soup. The queso was great. Things that make me really wish the rest of the experience didn't suck. Even a margarita from the bar when we first arrived took 40 min, and it wasn't that busy. All in, this dining experience was LONGER THAN A MARVEL MOVIE. Dear God please bring us out check so we can leave and restore feeling to my butt, which has been precariously perched the entire time.We won't be back, but if you brave this establishment - maybe sit at the bar?

The huevos rancheros was tasty! The red chili was the right amount of hot. Good service. Nice and cheesy so it went down easy!

Eaten here a few times, as it's close to home. I've decided it's 'ok'. DH has creamy chicken enchiladas today and really liked them. I imagine the red and green sauces would be quite tasty, but I haven't come to appreciate the spicy NM chile quite yet. Without it, the food is a bit bland. The brisket they use is yummy, I'll give them that! I also appreciate their house margaritas. And the chips have a nice crisp (I've noticed some places around here seem to not bother with fresh made chips), but they are not complimentary. Neither are the sopapillas. Will probably come again bc it's close, but glad I'm remembering to write it's not a favorite. One last bit--staff is very friendly and outside patio is nice.

I like that they aren't afraid to serve hot chile. The salsa and food is spicy and everything I tried was delicious. The enchiladas are to die for. I can never decide so I get them Xmas and I'm never disappointed. Service is excellent and it's a comfortable place that isn't too loud.

Make sure they don't think you're from a state without Mexican food. My tacos were something I would serve to a 5 year old. Hard shell, lettuce, tomatoes, no salsa. I wasn't familiar with one of the side dishes. Which was one of the better items. It was zucchini, yellow squash and corn. That may have made her think, I wanted pretend Mex. I live in Palm Desert, a short drive from Mexico. This would not pass as Mexican food in California. I expected New Mexico to have good Mexican food. They have chiles on their license plate. Maybe next time.

Food was pretty good. Not as good as the Cocina Azul near oldtown though. Service has been hit or miss sometimes. Environment is. Little dark compared to other Cocina Azul.
