Socorro's Restaurant

Amazing food, amazing staff. I've never had a bad meal. I love the tacos, but also the steak, and the chips and salsa. The sopapillas are made with yeast and are spectacular. I ate two on the way home to Taos and arrived, dripping with honey, but absolutely content. I only wish we lived in Hernández.... Love you Ms. Socorro and your beautiful food!!!

It's 5 in the morning and there's nowhere to eat in Española, but you can take the extra time to drive a few minutes out to Hernandez and get a delicious breakfast burrito and a drink for $10 at Socorro's. Well worth it! Especially if you're on graveyard shift and need that after work meal.

Very nice atmosphere and cool decor at Socorro's. I ordered the combo plate and it came with plenty to eat. Service was on point and the ladies are nice and attentive. I'm giving it two up and shall return when I'm in the area again. I'm glad they're around for business.

I've heard about #socorrosrestaurant in Hernandez, NM several times on Facebook. Taking the road of loops and turns through the Native American reservation, we turned back on straightforward road, and came upon a relatively small building with many cars parked outside... The dining room was relatively large, and had space, but we chose to sit on the patio for more privacy. Socorro's is a family business. The menu has something for everyone... (Mexican, and breakfast are what they're known for, but they also have items such as chicken fried steak or burgers (which are said to be delicious!). Mark and I both ended up getting Fajitas (it's a staple for me to get Fajitas) and of the millions I've tasted since I've been married, last night's were hands down the best... surprisingly, for what they added (potatoes) and what they left out... it was seasoned very plainly, letting the ingredients shine in their own right, as opposed to being accompanied with a sauce. The tortilla was fresh and deliciously warm, and I didn't even miss the cheese! A "detour off the highway," this place is definitely worth coming to, and the prices are also very reasonable for what you're getting both in quantity and quality.... We didn't have leftovers... no pun intended but I'm calling this one a slam dunk! (5 out of 5) #gourmetrecovery

I was excited to try this place since there aren't many mom and pop restaurants in the Espanola area anymore but left disappointed. I ordered the combination plate with two rolled cheese enchiladas and a pork tamale smothered in red chile, and a hard shell chicken taco. Chile had a bite to it but was bland. Taco was more mini sized but tasty. Mom ordered a carne asada burrito and she also stated that the chile was bland. BFF ordered the tamale plate and also stated that the chile did not have much flavor to it.Initially service was not good as the one waitress was rude as we were waiting to be seated and apparently she had already told us to seat ourselves (did not get her name). We also had no utensils and had to ask her for some, and when it came time for refills on our drinks and napkins she seemed bothered by that (she did look overwhelmed as they were fairly busy). The other waitress who took over our table was very nice and provided better service.

Amazing food and staff! Great breakfast, lunch!!! Authentic Mexican food, Great Green & Red Chilie. A must stop every time I'm even close to the area.

I researched this place before a recent vacation in New Mexico. Based on the ir reviews and menu, we went out of our way to have lunch at Socorro's. It was very busy and had two waitresses and one cook working. They also had to take care of answering phones, take-out orders, and cashing customers out. Like most places these days, they seemed understaffed and overwhelmed.I ordered their combo plate and requested chicken. My wife ordered a taco plate with chicken. She got what she ordered and said it was good. I instead got what I think was beef, not the chicken that I had requested. I told the waitress and she acted confused. I said I would just go ahead and accept it as I did not want to wait longer to get it replaced. Then I started eating it and the beef was so overcooked and dry I could not even stick a fork in it. I could not chew it. It was like beef jerky. She came by again to ask how everything was and I told her how bad it was. She looked confused how to respond. She finally asked if she should say something to him? (I assume the cook?) I said she should say something to someone and not serve anyone else this batch of beef. She never offered to do anything for me and I did not see her go talk to anyone about it.I basically could not eat my lunch. I moved all the uneditable beef to the side and ate what I could. She came back and had to notice that I did not eat most of my meal and did nothing but bring me my check. I was charged $2 more than the price on the menu. But my wife was changed $2 less so it netted out the same so I figured it was not worth mentioning. When I said I wanted to pay with a credit card she said I had to follow her to the back office to use the card reader. I followed her back and surprising to me the owner was back there looking at her computer screen doing something.I thought hmm, what is she doing back here when up front they were swamped. She should have been up front helping her staff and checking on customers. And why didn't our waitress get her involved with my issues? I assumed at first she just did not know what to do and had no one there to help her. But the owner was there so was she afraid to mention that she messed up or the cook messed up my order? Or afraid to get the cook in trouble? Who knows. I blame the owner for not training staff or not empowering her staff to take care of problems.I was very disappointed with my experience, especially since I drove about 20 minutes out of my way to eat there. I hope mine was not the norm. But the owner needs to do better training and get more involved in her business.

The food was very good. We enjoyed this restaurant. This restaurant appears to be a place that the locals eat. It was recommended by an employee at the hotel where we stayed.

Amazing great food roccomnde shrimp dinner worker did have a crush on my brother but good sirvice

My husband and I had supper here and it was really good. He had the Stuffed Sopaipilla and it was a large plate and tasty. I had the cheese enchiladas, Christmas. The green sauce was hot but had a nice full green chile flavor. The red sauce was milder. We couldn't have had a better meal in Santa Fe. And don't miss the sopaipillas with honey for dessert.
