Tina's Cafe

Outdoor patio seating available so we sat outside. Besides the flies, it was worth sitting outside. We both ordered coffee and the pork omelette. The food was delicious! We really enjoyed it. Service was a bit slow for our liking and we’re patient people. Took awhile for the waitress to get to our table to even greet us and take our orders. Other than that, it was a great experience.

Breakfast was great here! Prices are high for drinks so we got the their lavender lemonade that was sweet and tasty! Not a fan of the biscuits and gravy definitely had better. Omelet and breakfast tacos did not disappoint!!

Food was amazing. The creamy green Chile with chorizo omelette was fantastic. Potatoes were pretty bland although they were cooked beautifully. Coffee was good quality, no lattes or anything fancy. The waitress was not super attentive and seemed bothered by every request. The busboy and food server were really great though so that was nice. Overall I would recommend it for the food but the service was a bit lacking.

Tina's Cafe is easily my new favorite restaurant in Ruidoso! Amazing service, the food was so good we went back the next day! Tina's carrot cake is my new favorite dessert. You will not regret eating here. Everyone is very accommodating and sweet!

Yes! I’m glad I tried this place! I’ve lived in Ruidoso for a few years now and never gave it a try because someone said the owner was racist. I decided to form my own opinion and glad I did! The food is really good and I absolutely love the atmosphere. Our waiter was also super friendly and courteous and attentive. This will be a restaurant my family and I will frequent.

The Green Enchiladas were tasty and cheesy, and my husband enjoyed the Migas. The only thing I didn’t like were the potatoes that came with breakfast, I found them bland.

This place also has live music on the weekends, you’d have to follow them on Instagram to find out what dates. They have a selection of beers, cocktails, and wines. Oh and they have pitchers of mimosas!

Stop by and give it a try!

This restaurant is a must try for breakfast. I got the open muffin, and it was delicious. You have to get the the cinnamon bun! It should be illegal (because it was so good).

Nice little cafe. The fried fish on Friday is delicious although I found the tartar sauce to be odd. Fries were excellent.

Great spot in downtown for breakfast. Portions are large, food was cooked to perfection and staff was friendly and attentive. The burrito could have fed our entire part lot of 6. Can’t go wrong with Tina’s.

Best place to eat in Ruidoso. Great service and even better food. I saw someone leave a review that it was “expensive” but they clearly haven’t eaten anywhere else in Ruidoso because it’s very economical! The portion sizes are fantastic and definitely filled me up!

Make sure to stop here! Stopped in for breakfast and came back for lunch. We loved this place. Our waitress Kay was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the menu, the town, and the attractions. We got to meet Tina and her daughter, they were just awesome. They made several restaurant recommendations and even helped us get a reservation for dinner.
