El Farolito

This is a New Mexico classic. The place is very small, maybe seating 20 max. It is also not date- night fancy but that is part of the charm. And the food is well worth the drive. Just call to make sure they are open as hours are limited.

We had good and reasonably priced enchiladas at this tiny restaurant. The owner and waitress were very friendly. Be aware it's cash only.

Several people had recommended El Farolito, and it did not disappoint! The tostada was so delicious I went back a second night for another. The atmosphere is small-town New Mexico, and very family friendly. Next time I’m in NM, I’ll go out of my way to go again.

Cute New Mexican restaurant with authentic enchiladas.

Definitely a hole in the wall type place. Food was 10/10 had to give the cook $10 tip 😋 highly reccomend the banana split

This is a must stop! It's the "Hole in the wall" restraunt you want to find on your trip. Guacamole and chips where a great appetizer! Enchiladas and tacos where great! And that green chili has many awards for a reason! Stop there and eat, Dominic will treat you right! And you will leave full!

Easy to miss as you drive into El Rito NM, but that would be a mistake! Superb hospitality, best burgers and home made Mexican food North of Santa Fe! Be sure to stop. Highly recommended.

Very good priced food, sells some snacks / eggs / veggies. Note tacos are hard shelled and chicken is pulled/stringy. Highlight is the people working there, the rice and prices.
