Alto Cafe

We recently had breakfast at Alto Cafe. There were four in our group and everyone loved their meal. Service was quick and prices reasonable. Our only regret was that we didn?t find it on the first day of our trip. Definitely worth a visit if you are in thearea!

This is the best place to eat in the Ruidoso area. I had the catfish special and could not finish it all. It was a great meal. It seems to be a local favorite, so they can be busy. Even so, we had our meals in like 10 minutes.

If you like a good hole in the wall this is the place that you're looking for be prepared to wait outside for a table. I knew I was going like this place right away when they brought dessert out first.. yes you heard that correct they brought dessert outfirst. And you better go ahead and eat it because I guarantee you there's a lot of food on the plates.

The food was good but the lady that seated us made us wait even though they had an open clean table. She just dropped the plates on the table when she brought our food. I didn't ask but she appeared to be the owner or person in charge! Glad I was only intown for my wedding because I would not return.

We?ve eaten here before, always considered it average food and service. We tried to go about 10am on a Friday because our preferred restaurant had a long wait. They were fairly busy but had 3 or 4 open tables. We stood in the lobby area waiting for5 minutes for an employee to acknowledge us. Finally an unfriendly girl asked if we were waiting for a table for mike. I saidno but could we give our name. She ignored me and walked outside. She then walked by us several more times ignoring us as didthe other 7 employees. We finally got the hint and left. If you want mediocre food with poor, unfriendly service the Altocafe is your place.
