Rizo's Restaurant: Your Go-To Spot for Authentic Mexican Delights in Alamogordo

Totally exceptional! The pozole soup and churros were particular stand outs. We loved it.

Today, after a couple of hours at White Sands NP, five of us went to Rizo's for lunch. We had a variety of items, burrito, stuffed sopapilla, sopes, tacos and a Barbacoa plate. Everything was delicious and abundant. Very friendly service and the restaurant was decorated in typicical Mexican colors and decor.

Food was delicious, service great! We ordered the five chicken street tacos, hard shell beef tacos with beans and rice. Both meals were delicious and salsa options added great flavor. Would highly recommend.

My girlfriend and I went here to get take-out to bring back to a motel after visiting White Sands. The man who took our orders helped by letting me know I could get several vegetarian meals, while this wasn't indicated on the menu. The wait for our food was perfectly reasonable. We both enjoyed our food very much. I don't know if my veggie chimichanga wasn't deep fried, or if it just softened from all the sauce and cheese on top. It tasted good regardless of not seeming deep fried. It was like a veggie fajita burrito, which is still delicious. The restaurant itself seems nice inside. They had warm colors, decorative lights, and some plants growing above a half-wall near the entrance, which my girlfriend now wants to somehow do at my house (I have no half-wall!). It wasn't exactly quiet, but I don't recall it being loud while we were inside. I didn't see the bathroom(s). I'd return here if I was in town again.

Food was excellent. Service was prompt & everyone was quite friendly. (We're traveling & will only be in town for 2 days. Will definitely go back at least once more before we leave! If we were "locals", no doubt we'd be regular customers.)

A decent place to grab a quick meal. The decor of the place is nice. The service was also decent. Try it out if you are a local or visiting the area before going to the national park near by.

Rizos is the best Mexican food in town. The people are nice and friendly, always greeting with a smile. I always order take out and they usually have my food ready within 10 minutes. Originally from CA, I'm not a fan of the TexMex and this place pretty much hits home with the Mexican/SoCal flavor. The ambience is home-y. Bright orange walls make you feel like you're in Mexico. The food can be a bit too salty for my liking but nothing a side salad can't fix. Just give it a try! You won't be disappointed.

Absolutely delicious! After trying so hard to find a good Mexican restaurant in Alamogordo, we finally found one! The food was flavorful and delicious. My sister loved the albóndigas, it came with plenty of meatballs and veggies. The menudo had great flavor, clean and a good ratio of meat and hominy. The caldo de res was packed with veggies and meat and the meat was extremely tender. The tacos al pastor (street tacos) were absolutely delicious, they are probably my favorite item. I will be ordering them again and again. This place also serves homemade, refreshing Aguas Frescas: horchata, jamaica, melón, watermelon, and mango. They also serve beer, a handful of bottled selection. The prices are decent, the portions good, and the service was friendly and attentive. If you're looking for Mexican food, honestly, try this place out!
