Alto Cafe

If you like a good cafe, this one should be on a list of ones to visit. The staff is great at their job. The food is very good. I've had the chicken fried steak and biscuits and gravy. Best biscuit I've had. The gravy was perfect. They have the usual small beer selection and a few barefoot wines. You will not be disappointed unless you are trying to be.

What a super nice village small diner. 8 had 2 eggs, sausage, toast and large perfect hashbrowns. Also biscuits and gravy. All excellent.

Excellent food, nice restaurant and superb service. The huevos rancheros are great and so are the pancakes.

ALL OF 5 STARS! THE BEST TASTING FOOD YOU WILL FIND EAST TO WEST COAST! The staff is super friendly and are like a little family and teamwork makes the dream work and the best experience with anywhere comes when morale is high and it definitely was high here! The atmosphere is relaxing and everyone is enjoyable to talk to, if you’re in town then look no further for a meal that’s a bang for your buck and super affordable prices!

You should try it .Me and my family eat here often, it's incredible. On Fridays, me and the guys go here everybody loves it. I enjoy the summit burger. My friend gets the catfish plate every single time. And my kids always get the steak fingers. Extra gravy 😋

Very Friendly Family owned. FOOD IS GREAT!!! Staff is excellent 👌🏽 they speak both English and Spanish bilingual. Customers are rude and tend to stare a lot but staff are so great , very humble people service and food come out Quickly. Highly Recommend 👌🏽

The cutest place!!! ☺Little breakfast cafe☕. Came here twice while vacationing in the area. Such a cozy spot. They have a great menu and the perfect portion sizes. They have options for little breakfasts to big breakfasts! The pancakes 🥞are amazing. Wow. Love it. Vibes here are great✨. Much more crowded on a weekend.

Best restaurant and dining experience in Ruidoso. They are fast, which is rare here. They are also fully staffed, which is also rare. But it shows how well the place in run. This is where the locals in town go to get a good meal.

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 out first. And you better go ahead and eat it because I guarantee you there's a lot of food on the plates.

Great service wonderful food and lots of variety on menu. Friday catfish buffet was excellent. Wonderful breakfast incuding omelettes. Waiter was courteous and responsive to our needs. ADA compliant bathrooms. Handicap parking in front.

Our server Leo was amazing. This was our first visit so he was great at suggesting food options. Will definitely visit here again.

Great little spot frequented by the locals. Comfort food specials daily! Friday is catfish!

I just had the taco salad, but it was good. Great service, had my food in really good time. Very friendly people!

Chill local breakfast and lunch! Amazing food, laid back atmosphere. And super affordable! A must go to when in Ruidoso. A beautiful drive up the mountain, and you won't be disappointed!

This place is a hidden gem. The food is excellent. Staff and service were great . Would recommend to all people

I highly recommend getting salsa with your eggs/hashbrowns. It’s homemade and so good. I loved everything I ordered!

Great service, friendly staff and delicious food. And the prices are really reasonable. 👌

Always great food and service. There will probably be a short wait but worth it. It’s the closest thing to the Pecos River cafe in Carlsbad if you’ve been there.

Take your time and enjoy yourself. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was like coming home. Everyone was nice and patient.

Friendly environment, excellent service and delicious food! There were more chips in the basket but we ate them 😋
