Salsa with cilantro is very good. Blue corn cheese enchilada plate, red n green chili with an egg atop and calabasitas as a side. Very good. Highly recommend the experience here.

Hot fresh vegetarian food. Whole beans and Spanish rice are vegan. My husband (the meat eater) said these were some of the best enchiladas he’d ever eaten. I’m trying to talk them into carrying a good veggie burger as well. across the street from the Harvey House museum. Need to amend this, the calabacitas I had last time were NOT vegan. Was pretty sick for the rest of the day. Apparently, it depends on who’s cooking.

Good food at decent prices. Nice folks that run the place too.

Pete's has magic. The Magic Kitchen that creates and prepares the wonderful food, the Magic Ambiance and Venue which can at times include a meal outdoors in the protected, shade-tree patio, and the Magic Staff who are on top of your order and table at every turn. I have been eating Mexican food since 1969 when I first lived in Denver. Soon thereafter I moved to Arizona and for the last 50 years have enjoyed eating at the best of the best in Arizona's Mexican food scene. Oaxaca in downtown Phoenix was my all-time favorite in the 1970's; El Charro in Tucson (since 1922, the oldest in the USA, and the birthplace of the Chimichanga) for the 1980's; and El Rincon at Tlaquepaque in Sedona for the 1990's; and for the 2000's, Las Michoacanas in modest little Mammoth, Arizona. I still eat at the last three and have great appreciation for the families and staff of these excellent restaurants. Still, Pete's beats them all, so far. I'll admit, I've only just eaten at Pete's for the first time in May.2022. I met a firend from Belen there and I had the #2 combination plate that featured a Relleno, a beef taco, cheese enchilada, with rice and calabacitas. Each entree portion had a distinct, different taste and sauce, and the chili relleno was encrusted with a crunchy batter that was deep fried. The cheese with the relleno was inside the crisp rollup that looked like a corn dog and tasted like heaven on earth. The ritual here for 70+ years, since Pete's opened in 1949, has been for the kitchen to daily make their own tortillas, wash, rinse, and cook fresh beans, and follow time-honored recipes that Pete and his wife originated back in the day. I hate greasy chili rellenos smothered in average cheese and limp and basically tasteless. My favorite rellenos, maybe not yours because it's unlikely you've had one encrusted and deep fried, are what Pete's family has made for decades. Oh man......... I'll be back in the next month to sample the wares again and choose a different entree or combo plate. I cannot begin to express how their food was so tasty, perfect, and filling. Ooops, I just did!

Fantastic red chili. Carne Adovado plate, stuffed sopapilla, and green chili chicken burrito were excellent. Full of NM flavor.

Probably the best NM food we've had. Chile Rellenos had texture and taste, Enchilada just right seasoning, Sopapillas just fluffier and fresher than others. Staff friendliness just that much nicer meal.

The service was good but the food was very poor. I got the popailillos, bean and beef and it was completely soaked in some juice from who knows what, but it was completely soggy and gross. As you can see from the photo, and it also made my stomach hurt. Honestly, there was no thought put into any of the dishes, literally, mine was just a fried bread with beans stuffed in it and the same for the beef, plus liquid. The service was good, she was friendly. To an extent, but I will definitely not recommend and definitely not be returning again. 👎

Julisa was the absolute sweetest! She was bussing tables and treated us better and with more respect than anyone at the restaurant! I haven’t been here for 10 years and I’m happy I came back.

Food was tasty but red Chile was bit hot. After initial basket of chips and salsa, we were charged.for additional cups and salsa. Wasn't the same restaurant I remember growing up. The restaurant closes at 7, and felt rushed.

First of all, the atmosphere of the restaurant is so vintage and enjoyable. This restaurant has its history of the past and who lived there back in the 1800s. It is such an authentic vibe. We have been there many times with our family. Great memories have been made there. We are so happy every time we go. The service is always great and the servers are so very friendly. We had a waitress tonight, and a waitresses helper. They were both great. I do remember Patty because she was the first server that helped our waitress. They were both friendly but Patty was exceptionally friendly. Patty dressed in an authentic mexican dress style. She was so lovely to talk to. The salsa and chips were wonderful. We were all very pleased with our meals. I have to tell you, they have absolutely the best chile rellenos that we have ever tasted anywhere. I had the enchiladas. The corn tortillas for their enchiladas are so delicious and the texture is wonderful. Some people had the stuffed Sopapillas and one had the combination plate. I have to tell you about their Italian cake or Mexican wedding cake, whatever it is called. It is to die for. There are some taste differences I noticed tonight that were different from the past. I was not pleased with the Spanish rice. I usually never have to add salt to the Mexican dishes there. Tonight, it seemed sort of bland and I did have to add salt. Not just me, there were some others at the table that also had to add salt. However, once we added the salt, everything was perfect. I just don't want the restaurant to change anything that used to be great for. Too many restaurants change something that's great. If it's already good and people love it, why change it? When you go to Belen, New Mexico, this is the place to stop and eat.

What a lovely place. I had ten Navajo taco. It was delicious. Others in my group had different items and they all lived what they had. We will go there again.
