OVERALL BITES:
Value: $8.99 lunch specials with 9 dishes to choose from! It doesn’t get too much better than this! Did I mention that includes a sopapilla, chips and 4 dipping sauces and a drink!?!
Taste: O. M. G. I was hooked by the chips and salsa. Each one of the sauces makes you want more. The green chile, served hot, is spicy! But the coolness of the sour cream cools you down.
Presentation: The food looks great! The basket of chips and salsas looks incredibly appetizing and tasted even better! You have to try this place.
Vibe: Very exciting and energetic. The staff is hustling around making sure you’re taken care of and people are having a great time.
Accessibility: The parking lot is huge but they get so full for lunch and dinner that you may have to park on the backside by the tortilla factory.
Review – Si Señor
Let me start off by saying that Si Señor Restaurant has a few locations. Two in Las Cruces, NM, and one in Chandler, AZ. Yes, I have been to both. Although, my heart is partial to the Las Cruces location. They both look great but I enjoyed my food more in Las Cruces more.
I’m writing this review, for a local restaurant blog, since Si Señor started in Deming, NM, before they moved to Las Cruces and then Chandler, AZ. The owners, the Castillo Family, say they owe their success to one of their main ingredients, Hatch Green Chile. Once you taste it you’ll realize that Si Señor is very deserving of all their awards including “Best Business Lunch,” “Best Chips and Salsa,” and “Best of the Best Reader’s Choice Awards” by the Las Cruces Sun News.
I’m going to get right to it and just tell you that Si Señor gets 5 Bites!!! The service is second to none and the staff always makes sure you’re attended to promptly and with a smile. There is always a buzz in the dining area and it’s from everybody enjoying their meal. The Las Cruces location looks amazing with a huge fountain in the front. You really can’t miss it.
What I enjoyed best was the lunch special. You can choose from 9 dishes and it includes your chips and salsa, a drink with one refill, and a sopapilla for desert. All for under $10!!! The chips and salsa got me hooked at Si Señor. The bean dip is amazing. The tomato based salsa is very tasty but not too hot. You can spice things up quite a bit though with the green chile sauce which is served warm and then you can cool yourself off with the cold cream sauce. The chips and salsa alone made for a great experience.
A word of warning to you though. When you order the green chile at Si Señor, remember that you’re just South of the home of the famous Hatch Green Chile. When they say hot it actually means hot! For some reason I forgot this and ended up getting more than one refill on my tea trying to cool my tongue down!
Again I went with my go to New Mexican dish, the green chile chicken stuffed sopapilla, and it was amazing! I’ve had this on a couple of occasions and they never fail to disappoint. Once you include the chips and salsa, the rice and beans and the main entree, it really is a whole lot of food for one individual! The sopapilla is filled with a generous amount of chicken that is seasoned just right and then it’s smothered with the green chile. Every bite, from the first to the last, was full of flavor and left you wanting the taste in your mouth even though your stomach couldn’t possibly handle another bite.
If you’re in Las Cruces, NM, then you need to try them. You’ll be glad you did.
