Joann's Ranch-O-Casados

My co-worker and I stopped here on Wednesday, April 13, 2022, for lunch. We didn't wait more than a minute to be seated at a window booth. The tables and booths were clean inside this spacious, high ceiling diner. Our server, Dianne, had a charming smile and took our order after delivering two ice waters with lemon. I ordered the red chile, flat stacked, shredded beef enchiladas with an over medium egg on top ($10.99/plus $1.29 for the egg). My co-worker opted for the sopapilla stuffed with shredded beef ($10.99). Our orders came with Mexican rice and beans on the side. Our dishes were ready in five minutes and were well heated. The rice had too much moisture and was a bit soggy. The beans were bland and appeared to be reheated and not fresh. My shredded beef in the enchiladas had too much moisture and the red chile had heat but no flavor. I'd say everything needed more seasoning. Dianne did bring out two sopapillas which were fresh, airy, and delicious. If you want average New Mexican food with large quantity than eat here. The service was good and the inside well cleaned.

Came in a couple times while in the area. The service is friendly and quick and the menu has many options with breakfast served all day. The breakfast burritos are big and filling, the green & red sauce (Christmas is what New Mexicans call it) is good, the green being hotter of the two. The bacon is nice and thick. The omelette is good with the green sauce. The biscuits & gravy is okay wish it was sausage gravy but I crumbled my sausage. Kids plates plentiful and the cost is not high. Definitely recommend

We stopped here today on our little road trip! The food was delicious! The New Mexican meal was perfect! Great service! Great sopaipillas too!

Pretty good food, we ordered the smothered burritos they were good, not too spicy, older place, mostly locals dining when we went early sunday morning

Passing through from Texas looking for some good new Mexican food and Joannes delivered. Friendly and attentive wait staff was a treat and so was the chile relleno.. servings are a good size and the sopapillas are half the size of the plate! Enjoy!

Would NOT recommend!! This was the worst place we have eaten in New Mexico! Table of 5, last person's food came after the rest of us were finished. It was stale and disgusting.

I had driven down from Colorado on Highway 285 through construction zones, tired and hungry. I got in just before closing time at 2:30pm, which sometimes gets you dirty looks from restaurant staff. Not here; they made me feel welcome. I had a combo plate (taco, enchilada, tamale) with excellent red chile and a sopapilla with honey - genuine tradition Northern N.M. cuisine. Great food and friendly service.The distinctive building, by the way, was originally one of a chain with a "country" theme. After they closed a few of them were taken over by mom-and-pop restaurants like this one. There's another in Pueblo, CO

If you are into a classic breakfast at a reasonable price, this is the place to go in Espanola. I have stopped here over the years for breakfast. If you order chile - stick with the red. The staff are friendly and the service is great! 5 Stars!

We stopped by for lunch. Food was not good at all. We had been here a couple years ago and it was delicious.Sorry it went down.

Horrible nothing is fresh the owner has gotten lazy people who like to eat slop don't know any better, it's that most people here in NM have nothing to compare good quality food too that is made fresh with quality ingredients. Do not waste your time the owner should just retire and quit ripping people off.
