Shockingly enough, this place had that savory New Mexican food that I had wanted all weekend. We were on our way back to Denver from Santa Fe and randomly picked this place for lunch. Pretty small inside, maybe 20 tables, plus a patio space. The decor was really fun with lots of memorabilia, license plates, figurines, pottery, etc. But onto the food. I got a small combo plate (1 enchilada, 1 taco, rice and beans) and the boyfriend got the medium combo plate (same but an extra enchilada). The enchiladas were stuffed full of cheese and both chili sauces were fantastic. The tacos were scrumptious. The boyfriend said they were so good, he'd wished he'd gotten the taco plate. The orders don't come with salsa, but instead sopapillas. I had two...and a half. Service was speedy, pleasant, and attentive. Which is good considering it was lunch time on a Monday and the place was about half full. Definitely a great little gem. We'll be sure to stop here on our next trip down to Santa Fe.

Usually the food here is good but today i do have to say either the tortillas were rancid or the potatoes. I know lately when we have eaten breakfast there the potatoes are tasty I was very disappointed today because you pay your moneys worth. It is like going to a fast food place and they don't give you the correct order only this one was the taste. You might want to check the potatoes and tortillas just to make sure one does not get ill from eating the food. I say that for any restaurant but today it is this one. Good service and good food work together.I pray you care enough for your customers to want to come back.

Just ate at johnnie's. It took a long time to be waited on. The food was good when it finally showed up. There seemed to be plenty of girls working. But when we needed more service or refills on drinks,they walked all around us without making any eye contact. Good food but the service sucked. Won't GO Back!

Awesome New Mexican Foods! Located in Las Vegas, New Mexico, this place rocks the food they make. It's delicious, filling, the staff is friendly. Shout out to our waitress Stacy. You're awesome. Prices are moderate. Your food choices are plenty, the drinks are cold or hot. Your choice. Next time I'm here in Vegas, I'm definitely coming here!

One of the few restaurants open on New Year’s Day! Got the dirty tacos with shredded beef. The tacos were flavorful and I got my hands oily. Pricing and portion size are well priced and decently sized. I’d come back again if I’m ever in the area.

Great find! Low key, no frills. Indian taco was hearty and flavorful. Go with the ground beef or shredded beef, as the chicken was a little bland. When the server asks whether you want red or green chili, just say "yes, please!" Got both red and green chili on the side which has a slow heat that sneaks up on you, but not too overwhelming. Red chili was a little smoother, while the green chili had more up front flavor. The stuffed sopapilla was enough for both of us to share and excellent with the carne adovada. The rice was also a delicious surprise (almost a meal in itself), as was the posole which was hominy heavy-which I am partial to. Service was friendly and efficient.

This odd such an excellent place to eat. The food is reliably delicious and the servers are courteous and welcoming. We went on Christmas Eve and they never once rushed us or made us feel in the way my sister had the ground beef tacos with a side of french fries, my husband had the Menudo, and I had my all time fave!-the ohh so delicious chicharrone Frito pie! My husband and I also shared a yummy chile relleno.

My omelette was burned. See photo for that and what was left of my daughter's burrito after she took out the potatoes. The menu mentioned nothing about potatoes inside the burrito. Not worth the $7+. The only reason I'm not giving 1 star is that my husband liked his Matador omelette, which wasn't burned.

Couldn't get service. Was greeted by a waitress, then ignored for 10 minutes. Asked her if we could place an order, and was ignored. Want to be clear that this was not during a rush, and there were approximately 10 people inside. Left after we couldn't take the awkwardness anymore. Still confused , and would not recommend. I give 1/9 burgers to this establishment.

Stopped in about a year ago. I thought it was a fantastic place! Today was the first time I've been back since. Johnny's didnt seem as I rememberd. Did Mgmt or a cook change in the past year? Salsa portion & serving can Pepsi was comical, gave me a nice chuckle! Sopa was flat as a fried tortilla. Tortilla was extra tiny, 2 bites & it was gone.The food was ok.

Very good food. The wait staff was not very efficient nor friendly with the acception of one woman i am unsure of her name. Noticed the nick nacks hanging around and over our table had a HUGE amount of dust, which concerned me i was hoping none happened to fall into my food. Otherwise not bad of a place.

Stopped in for a quick bite on the way back to Denver. I had an Indian Taco with green and red chile (when in New Mexico). Both were on point, especially the red chile. It was amazing, tastes just like the red chile my grandpa makes. I would definitely recommend.

One of the best breakfasts I have had in a while. The red chili sauce is awesome. Had the eggs and tamales my wife the eggs and enchiladas. Both very good. My new favorite for the Las Vegas area. They have a breakfast special that is hard to beat at $4.50. Very authentic.

Me and my husband decided to stop here at Johnnie's, after a day of traveling. It was the nastiest mexican food we have ever had. We also had to pay 1.25 for some chips and salsa but the chips were from a bag you can buy at walmart. Every other mexican restaurant we go to they're homemade and free. Guess everywhere is different. Wouldn't recommend eating here, I'd enjoy taco Bell more than here.
