Yo Mama's Grill

Dining out for dinner in the winter months in Socorro has limited options as many of the restaurants close early. I spoke with the manager at one place and he said ever since Covid, the majority of diners came in during the daytime. So we were glad we found Yo Mama's Grill on the first night we were in town. They serve until 8pm most nights so we arrived around 6:30 and were quickly seated. They were doing a brisk business with almost every table taken. The staff were friendly, hostess seated us and our server soon arrived with menus and to take drink orders. I will warn you, the place can be rather loud when it is full of happy customers but that was ok with us. We all decided to forego an appetizer, even though they all sounded great, but ordered our entrees instead. It didn't take long and salads were soon on the table, which we quickly enjoyed and then they whisked our entrees out of the kitchen to our table, piping hot and carefully plated. We tried the Rib Eye steak, grilled perfectly, a large salad topped with chunks of their fried chicken, grilled salmon over rice and some steak brochettes with grilled veggies over rice. We also ordered a nice bottle of wine! When in Socorro I highly recommend Yo Mama's for a good meal!

Came into town and searched online where to eat. Thought we would try this spot. Lots of seating in this place.Friendly staff, pretty good recommendations. Margaritas were o.k., light poor on the Lemondrop Martini.The Harvest Burger is messy and delicious, fries are tasty.The reuben was alright.The turkey avocado club was fair.Chips and queso was tasty, the Chiles are local in all of their food, so if you like a little heat. Try some of the local goods.

Who would have know this place was GREAT! Best Rueben Sandwich west of NYC. The green chile cheeseburger has a real authentic taste with generous Lemitar chile. Good service too. I will be back!

Very good, consistent food and service. Not a lot of options in this small town, but after spending a few days here for training, this proved to be the best and most consistent! The ribeye is middle of the road, but Cooked correctly. Steal kabobs were too done. Apps and sides were great!

We came in off normal meal hours and had a great experience. Service was wonderful and our drinks were always filled. The food was delicious. I took the servers recommendation for the Yo Momma sandwich. Yummy! It was fast to the table. I splurged on key lime pie that was so good! The restaurant looked new and clean. Very comfortable and laid back atmosphere! We will be back on our travels for sure!

While there aren't a TON of dining options in Socorro, I'd say Yo Mama's is most definitely among the top options. They were also open a little bit later than the other spots which was nice, because finding decent food in this town after 7-8pm can be a challenge. They had a fun cocktail list and a diverse beer menu. I had an awesome local New Mexico stout and then switched to a lemon drop cocktail. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, and it was really good. A large chicken breast meant most of the other awesome toppings were concentrated in the center, but that's fine. Even just the chicken breast plain on the outer edges was tasty. The rest in my group got some sort of green chile burger and they all thought it was amazing. We had good service and enjoyed our time there. I would go back!

You're Grill the OneNew Mexico Green Chile Cheeseburger Challenge part 3 of 4The relative newcomer in my Green Chile Cheeseburger Challenge, as they've only been in business for less than ten years (2015), as opposed to the rest of the competition which have all been around for a minimum of fifty years. But Yo Mama ain't no slouch, as despite the lack of experience, they managed to pull out a #2 ranking in my arbitrary poll. Let's get to the goods:Green Chile Burger (aka Bosque Burger):The Bun: Tasty artisanal bun that's only about a step-down from homemade. 4/5Green Chiles: Check! There's nothing to complain about here, and they're the only one out of the four that used certified NM Green Chiles, if that means anything to anyone. 5/5Cheese: The NM standard for cheese is a slice--or three--of American cheese - and they got that right here. 5/5Ancillary topping: It does come with the standard burger accouterments of lettuce, red onions, pickles, and tomatoes. For a Green Chile Cheeseburger I feel like it should be served plain, as the veggies distract from the harmony of Chiles and beef, but I'll give them bonus point for the extra freshness of these ingredients. 4/5Burger: Perfectly cooked burger that was juicy and had a nice char. The seasonings in the beef really paired well with the chiles, as the burger as a whole was a harmonious meal. 5/5Fries: Their fries weren't housemade, but they were delicious and had a tasty seasoning on them. 4/5Conclusion: Overall, at 27 out of 30 points, the Bosque Burger holds its own against some weighty competition and is a worthy runner-up in my competition. Other observations:*Abundant parking in a private lot*No outdoor dining*Local brews on-tap*Friendly service*Great branding and interior décor that really has the feel of a national chain.

NM 01-2024 Socooro's Yo Mama's Bar & Grill for lunch today. Tony and I had our normal drink order and Tony chose the Yo Mama's Chicken sandwich with cheese bacon tomato & lettuce with BBQ Sauce and homemade chips.I chose the crescent sandwich with ham & turkey tomato and lettuce & bacon with mayo with fries. They were both very good. The tea was terrific The waitress was very pleasant and kept checking on us. She forgot my straw and had to ask for extra napkins twice but other than that it was great. Chef was on point!! Highly recommend!!!

We stopped here for dinner just because of the name of the establishment. Who doesn't want to say they ate at Yo Mama's?! The reviews also helped. I decided on the Reuben with their home made chips, my husband got their 10 oz Yo Mama Ribeye with mashed potatoes and a Caesar salad, and my son got the Yo Mama Cheeseburger. The sandwiches were great and I really loved the chips. My husband enjoyed his steak as it was spicy in every bite, covered in peppers and cheese! We had a taste of it. Not my thing but at least he liked it. Service was friendly and good. Nice Christmas decor, TVs and roomy booths.

Went for dinner with colleagues. Hostess was friendly, server was straightforward. I had the Tech burger (burger with cheese, bacon and avocado) with fries. I didn't realize the fries came with heavy seasoning. They were ok, but I found the seasoning overpowering and wish they didn't have it. The burger was huge, I could barely eat half. A colleague got the patty melt, also couldn't finish it due to size. The third person in our party got the chicken with garlic mashed potatoes and Caesar salad and said even the dressing was spicy. Which is interesting because generally Caesar salad is not spicy. There are a lot of options on the menu so probably good for groups.
