More information on Padilla's Mexican Kitchen

This locally popular restaurant has been in operation since 1974. The dining room is clean and comfortable, but the main dish here is the food, not the atmosphere. The owner, Mary Padilla, and her family members who work for her will greet you warmly, making you feel welcome. The food here is outstanding. True New Mexican dishes come to your table steaming, and leave you feeling full and happy. The chips and salsa are free with every meal, and the chips are made fresh every morning. The house favorites are Carne Adovada, Carnitas and Blue Corn Enchiladas.
