El Llano And Mercantile - El Rito

Super juicy and amazing prices considering the situation

Great food, love eating there, when I’m in the area

Been coming here for years. It’s a multi generation mom pop restaurant, family oriented, people know each other. Green chili chicken enchiladas are to die for. Definitely worth the few extra miles off the main highway

Had heard they’d had the best green chili burgers. Fantastic! Also have to have the soapillas

Definitely nothing to see is located in a very old tiny (maybe 5 tables) adobe building in the heart of El Rito (what's left)... but the food was great! We ate there twice a week. All we had was very delicious...chiles rellenos, chicken enchiladas, tacos, filled chicken/bean sopapilla, beans, rice, sopapillas with honey. Everything is made by 1 man the only other employee is a girl who takes your order money, answering the phone (they do a big takeout business, mostly locals). You go to the counter to order pay, choose your drink from the cooler. Everything is served in takeout containers (even if you eat). The prices are excellent, especially for freshly prepared foods. The menu is usually Nordic NM cuisine, but is more extensive than you would expect in view of the size of the place. Generally 1:30-ish to 7:30-ish Wed-Sun. You can eat a generous portion of meal for $10-12 or less per person. We will definitely come back!
