Panz Alegra Restaurant

So we decided to try something different and this was different. The chips and salsa was good, salsa was spicy. Ordered a side quacamole which was good. I had chicken soft tacos with rice and beans and was surprised they came smothered. My husband had a trio combo with a taco, enchilada and tamale, again with rice and beans. I had tea and he had a soda. I was offered a refill once but his drink was dry for a long time. The waitress was not very attentive but the food was surprisingly good.

Restaurant interior, decor, chairs, and tables are old and dated. The bar is popular with the locals. The margaritas are strong. I think they use premixed Jose Cuervo margaritas and then add a shot of house tequila. One will have you feeling good. The food is the best in town, delicious! Order the steak and enchiladas Christmas style. You won’t ever be disappointed and will get a New Mexico delicacy.

Staff not very attentive. Chairs and tables are worn out. Lounge is loud and right next door. Food is decent, not great, edible. Ordered lasagna, which was best of the selection? Other was combination plate, beef enchilada was tasty but no onions, very little cheese. Tamale was dry and unseasoned same with the relleno with burnt edges. No gluten free options!
