Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

So far best Mexican food I have found in Alamogordo. Their fajitas are awesome! I also love their salsa and green chili. I wish there were more authentic Mexican restaurants in Alamogordo. I've been to Alamogordo three times and this was the first place to impress me.

Is this place actually open or is it just a mafia front? I keep looking for good Mexican places in this town and come across this place, occasionally drive past and have never seen it open.

A four, because a 5 is to high and a three is to low. Good food. I got the zarape combo. good, nothing overly special. wife had the chicken enchilada, she liked them. Service was quick and overall it was a good experience.

Updated 27 June 2014: We went there today for lunch after I saw that they had re-opened yesterday, and sadly, I wish we hadn't. My wife had the pulled pork tacos, I had the combo plate with a taco, rellano, tostada, and enchilada, and there was one constant across all our food: no flavor. The chips & salsa? Weak flavor and no heat, I think they made their own chips and they were a little old. The beans? No flavor. The beef in my taco? No flavor. The tostada? Made with a guacamole spread rather than beans, and lacking in flavor. The beef in the enchilada had a hint of flavor, but the sauce was weak. They did one thing that I really appreciated, my wife's soft tortillas had visible grill marks and thus were properly warmed. It was really disappointing. The original El Zarape had strong flavors and was at it's base level almost too hot for my wife and I, yet we went back there because it was good. The new incarnation? I'm sorry to say that I doubt that we'll return unless some reviews say that they've re-tooled the menu and cranked up the flavor.

Stopped in here one evening looking for something new in town. Loved the decor and the fact they actually put some effort into it unlike a lot of places in town. The salsa was spicier than I expected... Maybe a little spicier than I prefer but it was still good. I ordered a shredded beef burrito with rice and beans on the side. The menu didn't specify whether it was smothered so I assumed it wasn't, it was just a flour tortilla filled with beef - but it was really good! The beef had a great flavor that is worth craving! My only complaint would be that it was a little on the dry and crispy side while I would have preferred moist and juicy. For the price, though, I really can't complain! The service was also very attentive so overall a good experience.

Had the machaca breakfast - EXCELLENT! The service is friendly and attentive and the decor is great. Seems to be very well run! Great atmosphere too.

Out of a lot of stuff. Service was kind of slow. Chairs are really uncomfortable. AC not the best. Food was OK. I'd rather go to Margo's.
