Desert Diamond Restaurant

Everything is good here. Food, service and atmosphere are all good! We keep going back! That 's a really good rec!

I liked my meal. The restaurant was clean, the food was hot and was delivered fairly quickly. I was given some salsa and chips to start, and the salsa had a little bite and was pretty good. My server came back multiple times to see if I needed anything, and my water glass got refilled a couple of times. She had a good personality as well. It was my first time there and I got a number one combo. If I'm ever back in town, I wouldn't hesitate to go back and order the same thing or try something else on the menu.

Shortly after opening Saturday. Wife ordered a senior relleno plate. I had bowl of green chili with beef and cheese. Both outstanding! Chips and salsa very good. Salsa was made in house. Spicy and delicious. Owner said nephew makes it. Apologies for green chili being a little milder than usual. It was spicy enough to be delicious. Hope to catch the spicy sometime.

Friendly service, tasty New Mexican food, large portions. Everything tasted great, so I wanted to finish everything and probably overate! I'd visit again.

Very good food, nice staff, reasonable prices. It is New Mexico Tex-Mex, yet has a very good taste. It is an older building, a bit out of the way, but all in all, very good. I would highly recommend it.

I had a work trip to New Mexico over the summer, and my colleagues and I stopped in Socorro for a meeting on our drive back to Albuquerque from Las Cruces. What an interesting pit stop! One of my colleagues used to work in Socorro, so she was happy to be our tour guide for that segment of the trip, sharing personal anecdotes, fun facts, local insights, and other background on Socorro County. After our meeting and brief windshield tour, we ended up at Desert Diamond for lunch, and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is a no-frills mom and pop that specializes in New Mexican cuisine. There was a decent crowd in the restaurant for the lunch rush, and all signs indicated that this place would be solid. Once we were seated, and I had a chance to scan the menu, I quickly landed on the stuffed sopaipillas since I had never had that particular dish before. About ten minutes later, our meals were expertly delivered to our table in perfect unison. The stuffed sopaipilla came out piping hot and extremely well-seasoned. I decided to enjoy the moment and indulge, effortlessly reinstating my membership in the Clean Plate Club!
