Stopped in with a date and we both had the chicken green chile and cheddar grilled cheese sandwich, and drank water. When it was clear we weren't there to imbibe, we were told, rather rudely, that the iceless water is self served. It wasn't a big deal, but the unimpressive and pretentiousness continued.
Looking over the menu, it became clear that this place only serves about five different types of grilled cheeses, and a few similarly built cold sammiches. I found nothing special about what I ordered, except the price, which was around $18 and included a pickle and a small bag of Miss Vickie's chips.
When I received my order, I was instantly let down. The protein had not been grilled, which was disappointing, and rendered the sammich colder in the middle. The sourdough did not taste like sourdough at all. I'm pretty sure it was just white bread. Its only saving grace was that There was plenty of delicious melted cheese, but my indifference was solidified by the chile. It was clearly Bueno Brand (which is famously flavorless and heat-less), and did absolutely nothing for the sammich, except give it a punch of unnatural bright green. Still being in New Mexico, I expected more from the chile, and for the price tag, I excepted more from the sammich.
Over all, everything C+/B- at best. Being that Los Alamos suffers from a dismally minimal variety of restaurants, I'm sure that I may end up there again. I'll probably skip the food, and try a cider instead.
