    As a downtowner I decided Sunday to drive up 4th to find a local diner or dive. I has passed La Familiar and saw "open". ONE waitress working the floor quite ably but looked overworked. So I just sat anywhere. She took care of me as well she could. She had a large LOUD group in the other dining room. Someone finally showed up to help her. The carne adovada breakfast burrito for $6 was really very good. Not much of a place to look at but the food is very New Mexican (hot red) and they use home made papas instead of hashbrowns. I would like to try some other menu items and plan on going back soon. The waitress never chit chatted or smiled but did speak English.

    This restaurant has been touted by folks that I know (work and beyond) for many years. Saturday, I had a breakfast date, and she wanted to go for "New Mexican" food. Very Well -- lets try La Familia on 4th St. The ambiance was as expected, but the food wasn't anything to "write home about". $17.00 for 2 would have bought a lot more memorable experience elsewhere. Spanish speaking families kept coming in the back door (not particularly annoying), but I kept getting the feeling that this place has gotten a taste of gringo popularity, and has driven its standards into the floor -- price, quality of service - quality of food, and the general demeanor. I expected a lot better

    I am giving this place 4 stars because I frequent it weekly. Look if you are looking for gourmet New Mexican or Mexican food with a fine dining experience, then this is not for you. However if you are looking. For something comfortable, easy and good for the price, then this is for you. I have never had a bad experience. Who cares if they speak Spanish? They are still gonna take care of you. My favorite is the green chile bowl. Low maintenance, good food, good prices and the servers are always friendly. Try it and then write a review. I like this place.

    I really don't know what the beef was with the other reviewers, but I think La Familiar is a great blend of Mexican/New Mexican food. I wish they were open in the evenings. We had lunch there and the menu was full of the usual suspects, but also offered up some different things that most NM restaurants don't have, like Gorditas (corn dough-like empanadas filled with the meat of your choice and fried lightly to perfection. The food is made with care, not massed produced enchilladas slopped with questionable refried beans and a sick excuse for chili sauce that you may find at some other places. The prices are fair, it has a nice atmosphere, interesting art on the walls and good, friendly service.

    Some of the better New Mexican food in town, and at super low prices. Plus with many items you get to choose between sopapillas and tortillas. I had heuvos rancheros, beans were good, potatoes great, eggs cooked nice, and chile satisfying. I went with the sopapilla, which I sopped up all the extra chile with. Coffee was a little like dishwater, was the only negative. I also had a watermelon agua fresca that hit the spot after a late night out. Another plus is it is open on Sundays. We are moving to Denver soon, and man am I going to miss cooking like this.

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.
