Ojo Caliente Restaurant and Hotel

After a great afternoon at the spa soaking away the stresses we were able to grab a bar table as all the reservations on a Fall Saturday evening were taken. Great waitress. Very attentive! Had the poblano fries which were amazing as was the beet salad. For dinner I had the chile rellenos. This entree was a little surprising in delivery. It was probably what my body needed, as in nothing fried but it wasn't really what I wanted which was a deep fried Chile relleno with lots of melted cheese and sour cream...and that is not what you get. The Chile pepper was cooked but still crunchy. The molle sauce was spicy. The quinoa and corn side was tasty. The meal was nicely presented and filling but not quite what I was looking for.
But that caused me to order the creme brulee with fresh strawberries. Now this was exactly what I was looking for... unhealthy yumminess!!

We just had a great meal at the Artesian resto. I had buffalo short ribs, a bbq sauce with mash and veg. One of the best meals i have had recently. I tried the ceviche yesterday and it is as good as any i have tried in South America. Breakfast is great and prices are very fair. Come here for the spa and the food. Friendly people and great ambience.

Spend the extra money and stay in the Cliffside suites!

So my wife and I went to Ojo Caliente in early February as an Anniversary trip. We wound up staying in a Cliffside suite and were blown away with the room! We loved the hot soaking tub in the back patio of our room. It was very relaxing being able to wake up and soak in the hot tub, or come back to the room late at night and soak.

The mineral pools were really relaxing and soothing. The hotel's policy is "whisper-quiet" conversations, and they will ask you to quiet down or leave if you are a disturbance to the other guests. It sounds bad when you read it, but you have to keep in mind this hotel is meant for pure relaxation and being away from distractions. That means that children are not welcome in this hotel, although there is a sister hotel where they are welcomed.

My hot stone massage was very comfortable. Louda G was my massage therapist, and she was just an amazing individual who really loved her profession! All of the other hotel staff was really nice.

The food was...underwhelming. My wife and I ordered a steak and eggs, a breakfast burrito, and had a French toast dish for dessert. Her steak was over-cooked and had very little seasoning. My breakfast burrito was very bland. I can't hate on the restaurant only as the other restaurant we drove to had a similar bland taste to their food as well. We just felt that for what was charged, the money was not well spent on the food at the Ojo Caliente Restaurant.

All in all, this was a very good relaxing vacation. We stayed 1.5 nights, and we don't think we could spend any more time there. There is not a lot to do unless you want to go hiking or driving to explore the area. We would like to return again in the future, but we feel that there are other destinations we would like to travel to first before making a return visit.

We ate the breakfast here. Was alright nothing great. The steak had no seasoning salt, garlic, pepper..nothing. was also over cooked when I asked for medium rare. The french toast was good tho. I'd say take a 20 min drive and eat somewhere cheaper

I've never had a bad meal here in over 8 years. I love the farm to table meals and fresh well-thought-out flavors. HIGHLY recommend the restaurant!! However, get your reservation in advance for popular times on the weekends.
