My son and I were visiting town and tried this restaurant. The ambiance was great. They were very busy but our waitress was very friendly and the service was just right. We got the dip trio which was enough for 5 people and tacos. The food was all delicious and flavorful. I'll definitely be going back in the future.

Good food great service & price point and many options. It was a quick stop for us on our way to Ruidoso to hike in the mountains l.

I recently tried the chargrilled chicken skillet at Grill Caliente and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the dish was served with a side of phenomenal chips and salsa. The flavors were amazing and left me wanting more. The service was top-notch as well, with a great waitress who was attentive and friendly. I highly recommend trying this dish if you visit Grill Caliente!

Flavorful enchiladas. I love the Green Chile Chicken enchiladas, they are always packed with delicious flavor and have a spicy kick to them. The black beans and rice that accompany them are also flavorful. I love them. The Mushroom Swiss burger is a crowd pleaser, hearty and delicious. The Chile Rellenos were also satisfying and delicious but they do pack a kick so if you don't like spicy food, pick something else. They are really good though. This place offers various alcoholic drinks, the margaritas are a personal favorite. They have a variety of local and imported beers on bottle. There's plenty of seating indoors and on their patio area, which is enclosed so you're not really sitting outside. The service has always been friendly and fast and the restaurant is always clean. It's kid friendly, group friendly, and also has a small selection of vegetarian options. Both my family and me enjoy this restaurant and have never been disappointed with the food, it's tasty and satisfying.

Always a great meal here! Staff is friendly and the food is hot, fresh and delicious! Love the fried green chili rings! Also love the indoor and outdoor seating areas! So there is something for everyone.

Loved this place! Solid flavors and good nm comfort food and good prices. Id suggest dining in the main room since the inclosed porch is a tad chilly. I would highly recommend getting reservation since it's pretty busy on the weekends..

This place was actually tasty! I went on a day were they were only taking reservations so we called in ahead of time and did it. People with no reservations had to wait until 8pm but the owner said it was just that day. Small cozy place, nice waiters, nice owner, polite people that greeted you and made sure everything was fine. The plate that I got was a hamburger with spinach, avocado, chipotle sauce, cheese and it came with a side of fries. It also had a side of lettuce, tomato and onions. The flavor and quality was really good! Tasty burger meat and sauce! Fries were good too! I also had a coke but it was a can and glass, so no free refills (you would need to order another one if you wanted it.) It's located in a nice area in the downtown of Ruidoso, New Mexico so it was an easy choice! (FYI: like I said it is in Ruidoso, New Mexico)

Really good! We made a reservation which I highly suggest, otherwise it can be a long wait. Staff was friendly and efficient, pleasant but not "entertaining"(as in they weren't trying to be the Star of our evening way). I started with the Pink Cadillac, it was very refreshing on a warm evening. note - almost all their seating is still basically outside. Ordered the Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas, comes with rice & beans. Rice & beans were ok, but the Enchiladas were great! Those green chiles were singing my song! Fresh and quite spicy but great flavor. Husband had the skillet Nachos which looked fabulous, but he was disappointed they contained so few toppings. (I think the green chiles migrated to my plate!).
