Los Ojos Restaurant & Saloon

Los Ojos was the only restaurant still open in early October in Jemez. Good thing too as the next nearest restaurants would have been a 35 minute drive, on a winding two lane road in the dark back at Los Alamos.
Good selection of food choices as well as beer and wine.
I had the bacon burger and it was delicious and tasty although the burger is only cooked one way which is medium well done.
The other four in our party each ordered something different and every one found their meals to be quite good. Fries were fresh and hot.
Beer and wine available but not an extensive list, still a decent Stone IPA was nice to see on the menu!
Friendly staff and reasonably priced!
If we come back to Jemez on a future visit, we would eat here again.

This classic New Mexico saloon and restaurant glows with authenticity and charm from its 75 years as the Jemez Mountains' community watering hole and unofficial town meeting place. It's a family-friendly must-visit on any trip through the Jemez... the most true wild-west saloon you can find in the Land of Enchantment. Always a great place to relax both in the heat of the summer but also when the weather gets chilly and they blaze their massive fireplace and this place becomes a beacon of warmth and coziness. I always enjoy their Famous Jemez burger... yes, like this dish, this place is the most famous and celebrated establishment in the Jemez Mountains. It defines community and local history. Los Ojos IS Jemez Springs.

The off season is the time to go. A nice cold wintry day perhaps, when there is wood in the fireplace and you can sit at a clean table next to it. We had the special with hamburger. Good. And a bean a cheese burrito with a choice of meat or not in the chili. Xmas on the side gives one an opportunity to taste the difference and the heat factor. I prefer the green, less earthy. Yet still quite Hot! A great selection of beers and ciders are available. I started with Angry Orchard and then had a non-alcoholic ginger beer. Delicious. Wonderful atmosphere inside with the wooden floor and all the doodads on the walls. Check it out yourself.

When in Jemez (and hungry), enjoy a meal here! It’s even better after a long weekend hiking or camping, emerging from the woods to sip a margarita or eat a slice of pie on the patio. Los Ojos is off the main road and easy to access. Service in this area is awful, but they offer free wifi to ease you back into society.
