Pena's Place: Reviews & Ratings
The owner is hilarious. He went around and greeted his guest like family. The place is small, but definitely worth the wait. They have great food here, but I always get the eggs Benedict because they're awesome.
Food was amazing and the inside was small and quaint. But what was even better than the food was the service!! The service was incredible. Very friendly and a great place to take the kids. Prices were very reasonable as well! I would highly recommend this place!
I wish I could give five stars for the delicious food and then another five stars for the sweet owners of this sweet restaurant. They are wonderful and greet you with a smile and take care of you! make sure when you were in Ruidoso, New Mexico that you have breakfast or lunch here.
Always love coming here - one of our favorites! The blueberry pancakes were exceptional today & my wife's Huevos Rancheros were excellent. We also love their chili rellenos - some of the best we've ever had & today tried their guacamole. Wow! It's very good - as is their salsa.
So good. The red sauce enchiladas are delish...the plating is well done, the service is wonderful. Cozy place to have breakfast or lunch ch..
Such a cute little solid local spot! Came here for breakfast and it REALLY hit the spot. I got the biscuits and gravy combo with chorizo and an extra egg on the side. PERFECT portion for me. We were able to sit right down without waiting and our food came fresh and fast after we ordered. Sidonia was so sweet and attentive. Even the glasses of apple juice and orange juice tasted amazing. I'm already anticipating my next visit, plus, just writing this review makes me miss the food already. If I lived here, this seems like the spot I'd swing by frequently!
The man shoveling snow when we pulled up directed us where to park, it had been snowing and couldn't see tire tracks. We went in and sat down and he bragged that they had the same cook for 20 years. I sweet lady took our orders and the service and atmosphere were so inviting. The guy who was shoveling snow disappeared behind the wall and we noticed a newspaper article praising the restaurant owner/cook and his wife on the wall. The food was satisfying and delicious. The service was comfortable. The chips and salsa...AMAZING
Fantastic food! I had the Breakfast Burrito which is three scrambled eggs with green chile, potatoes, cheese, and bacon (or ham, sausage, or chorizo - your choice), all wrapped in a flour tortilla and served with beans. For $1.00 extra you can get it smothered in green or red sauce - Yes, red please! Warning for the small dish of salsa they bring, go lightly at first. It packs quite the heat! I also tried their biscuits and gravy (one biscuit), and it was crazy good! The waiter was working his butt off running amongst the tables in the small dining area - emphasis on Small! There's only room for about six tables so get there early (they open at 7:30am)! They do have a small outdoor courtyard with a couple of umbrellas covered tables. They serve breakfast and lunch only. Their lunch menu looks good and it states on the menu that it's served all day ...for those of you who aren't "breakfast people". Check this place out, it's a winner! Oh, and make sure you leave a nice tip for the hard working employees!
