A small restaurant that I have had saved on my "to try" list for quite some time. I have visited New Mexico and have partaken in the Hatch Chili experience and I enjoy spicy foods.
There were a couple tables seated when I arrived though not busy by any means. I said I would start with a water to which the waiter said "Oh, just water" and went to grab it. I ordered my food and finished off my water fairly quickly while waiting for it to arrive. I am not sure if he couldn't see my empty glass (which I placed by the edge of the table), if he didn't think I had done anything to earn more water yet, or perhaps, like Waterworld or Mad Max, he considers it a precious commodity that must be rationed and not just given out all willy-nilly.
The food eventually came at which point I received a new allocation of liquid refreshment. All three items on the enchilada platter were luke warm and a bit bland. Very little salt and very little Hatch spice. The taco I ordered on the side was the champion. It was very good, though based on the temp at arrival, I would guess the shredded beef saw the inside of a microwave before coming out.
To be fair, I didn't complain about any of the food issues, but due to the (lack of) service I was receiving I was just ready to get going. Based on a conversation that the waiter had with a friend of his that came in and the fact that Gilbert was my waiters name, I assume that I was waited on by "Gil" himself.
No plans to return.
