Discover Restaurants offering the best Mexican food in Roswell, New Mexico, United States. Known mostly through myths about aliens and UFOs, there's more to Roswell than mystery and innuendo. No matter what your interests: archaeological and historical sites, special and sporting events, museums, arts and culture, Roswell is a great place for a weekend jaunt. More than anything, the area offers a multitude of outdoor activities, from bird watching and fishing at the Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge to swimming and boating at Bottomless Lakes State Park. Families will love the Spring River Park and Zoo, which features a special fishing lake for children, exotic animals and an antique carousel. There's plenty to do inside as well. The Roswell Museum and Art Center will appeal to anyone with an interest in Southwestern painters like Peter Hurd and Henriette Wyeth. History enthusiasts will enjoy the Historical Center of Southeast New Mexico, a grand house filled with area antiques, artifacts and a changing gallery of historical exhibits. Of course a visit to Roswell would not be complete without a stop at the International UFO Museum and Research Center, where you can find out what really happened when "something" crashed near Roswell in 1947 or maybe not.

This restaurant is located on Main St about a couple of blocks from the UFO museum. We really enjoyed the food. It is authentic Mexican food and wonderful! The place was also very clean, almost a diner type of atmosphere. We would definitely go back!

they are now on hwy 380 west of downtown. new place advertises water on outside signs. don't be fooled-- they do great mexican food. family owned and operated-- open early to 2pm weekdays only. the breakfast burritos are the best anywhere.always a tough choice between the breakfast burrito and the green chili cheeseburger..which is right up there with the owl and the buckhorn in san antonio, nm.

I like Mexican restaurants like this that have basic furniture and next to no decor. They can turn many people off who expect nicer looking atmospheres, but I know from experience that the best and most authentic food is to be found in places like this. This place was perfect for us. There was really good food (try the flan for dessert) and our server was super nice and helpful.My teenage son packed himself at the buffet, and we ordered from the menu. The pricing seemed quite good for what we got.I would absolutely eat here again if we pass through Roswell.

This is a great little place that's obviously a favorite of the locals, with friendly and fast service. The food is more authentically Mexican than what we get in the Midwest. We picked it because it is a short walk from the Roswell Art & History Museum and it turned out to be a very good choice.

We've been PoPo's fans for the past thirty years. The menu is yummy...food is inexpensive. The PoPo's family is supportive of our community, helping wherever they can. They cater - when my dad died, PoPo's brought the best red and green enchiladas. We have our favorites...the #1, #2, the relleno plate (awesome rellenos). We enjoy the sopapillas hot and freshly made. Salsa? You betcha! I like to take some home when I can. You won't find food this good for these prices anywhere. Good people, great food.

My wife and I ate here and really enjoyed the food. It's two or three levels above the usual Mexican slop. I had Pulpo Borracho, octopus with tequila-habañero glaze slow-cooked then finished on the charbroiler. My wife had Cochinita Pibil, marinated pork baked in banana leaves. Tasty good stuff! The atmosphere is good too. I will say the service was fairly poor, but I think it was a fluke, and we'd go back next time in Roswell.

Peppers Grill & Bar, known to the locals as "Peppers," has been operating for nearly 30 years. We have built a solid reputation on our outstanding guest service standards, our fresh handmade food, and our friendly atmosphere.
This was our second visit in about a month.The first one was a combo of semi pleasant to semi disastrous .This time it was just plain sad. We walked in just before the dinner hour and were seated immediately, There were menus on the table so we began looking them over. Every so often I looked around to see if someone was going to acknowledge our presence and possibly take a drink order or offer some water. After 10 minutes or so we left the table and notified the hostesses that we could be ignored at a better place than this,told them what table we had been hidden at and left. We've eaten here before and I believe left a review. Never again.Draw your own conclusions.Thank you for taking the time to alert us of your recent experience at Peppers. What you described in regards to the service received does not match our standards what so ever. For that, we sincerely apologize. Your comments will be passed along to all wait staff to ensure improvement. Thanks again for leaving us this feedback. We hope to get another chance to impress you in the future.

On the way to Colorado from Texas we stopped in Roswell for the evening. Wanting something walking distance from our hotel, Los Cerritos popped up and seemed to have good reviews. Totally overrated. Combination platter with chicken enchiladas and a Chile relleno and green sauce was unremarkable with little or no flavor. My wifeâs stuffed sopapillo with shredded beef had a very off putting taste and my sonâs cheese enchiladas were likewise a disappointment. Advice to Texans passing through, donât waste your time looking for Mexican food in Roswell if this is one of their best.
