Tia Juana’s Mexican Grille & Cantina

Probably the best out of Farley’s and cattle Barron. It’s a good place for dessert especially the fried ice cream is da bomb

Great food! Great service! Love their food! Their waiters/​hostess are always friendly! Prices are reasonable. Great atmosphere !!

If I’m not eating it in El Paso I assume the Mexican food is not truly Mexican. Being that this restaurant was next to my hotel I reluctantly walked in. All in all it wasn’t bad. Service was great. Restaurant was clean and well maintained. I kept it simple: shredded beef tacos with rice and pinto beans. Not bad. Still not what I expect Mexican food should be but the food was tasty and served promptly.
Keep it simple and you won’t be disappointed.

We got here right at closing time for dinner. Server was efficient and polite — professional waiter!
Thin chips with some dry rub sprinkled on top– very interesting! Red salsa was hot! Guacamole was fresh!
House Margaritas were good and strong. Refried beans on my plate was excellent!!! Can’t remember the main dish because I filled up on the chips and guacamole!
Price was reasonable. I’d go back again if I’m Mexican food is what I want!

Food was decent, rice was way over cooked or something it was crunchy and hard in some spots, it’s a nice building, waitress was very clumsy and awkward. Spilled water all over the table twice trying to refill our waters and didn’t even realize she did till we moved our cups and she came back. Chips were nothing special salsa was ultra spicy.

Check your receipt very carefully with regard to tipping. If you follow their stupid math you may end up paying a 30% or more tip.

Service was great! From the time we sat down to getting our meals, the staff was very attentive and took very good care of us. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, food was great, our waitress Micki was awesome!

Excellent Mexican food, fast and efficient service every time! Been there about 8 times to date. Top shelf cantina, excellent also.

The service was fine and the manager was nice enough to let our little dog sit on the patio with us. The refried beans were from a can and did not have any salt. The Enchilada sauce just tasted like chili powder and the queso was really gross, like it had been sitting out for a long time. We have better Mexican food in Portland, Oregon.

I was traveling through Roswell and staying at a nearby motel. Wasn’t expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. This is a really cool place. Great atmosphere. Late on a Thursday night so the crowd was light. The service was very good and the burritos were delicious and a great value. I will stop in on the way back.

Looked ok going but what a big disappointment! First ordered Gin /​tonic simple drink but not for this place had to send it back something spoiled in drink? the food bland, cold, and and to send back. Chips, salsa and water no complaints.

Decided to stop here because the other restaurant we were initially going to was closed.
Service was lacking. Upon arrival, we weren’t greeted by the 2 waitresses that clearly saw us walk in. After a few minutes, one waitress finally acknowledged us and had us wait some more. The restaurant was mostly empty so there was no reason for this.
I ordered the chile verde, a good choice if you are into spicy food. I am, so I’ll say it was quite tasty. It’s served with homemade flour tortillas, which were delish! They could’ve added more rice though.
3 stars for crappy service and commercial vibe.

An excellent experience all the way. Jennifer was very pleasant to our group, doing a good job of keeping drinks filled and offering suggestions. The chili verde burrito with green chili was super!, I’d come back again in a heartbeat!

The worst stop I have made on our trip from Charleston, SC to San Diego, CA!!! We were burnt out from a 10 hour leg of our trip and this place was closest to our hotel for the evening. This place was annoying from the moment we walked in. A kid was the host and glanced at us without saying anything, I actually wondered if we were going to be seated. It was about 10 minutes to get a table despite many being visually empty. We did get a table and waited some more for a waitress. A young woman bustled by us seemingly aggravated and let us know she would help us because she had no clue where our waitress was. A minute later a different woman comes to our table to let us know she would be our waitress. We ordered an appetizer quickly figuring that we could score some food before our infant woke up. Sadly we were mistaken. We did have a pleasant view of the bustling nice waitress that was not ours, seat and feed people full entrees before our appetizer came out even though they arrived a good 30 minutes after we placed our order. We finally got it the second we were going to walk out. Interesting. Our waitress did not offer a water refill or salsa and chips. She disappeared again. Our food showed up maybe 45 minutes later and did not even taste good. It looked ok, but looks were so deceiving. A 3^rd waitress must have noticed the look on my face as I sat there hungry, upset, and further annoyed because my infant was waking up, came and asked if everything was ok. I told her that it wasn’t and what was going on. She looked genuinely concerned and left to get a manager. Conveniently the waitress shows up to take our bill. We paid so we could get out of there quickly… sigh…did not happen because AGAIN she disappears and we spend another 20 minutes just waiting to get out of there!!! Manager apparently didn’t care or got caught up dealing with another patron because they never came back and we needed to get out of there. Beyond ridiculous. I definitely do not recommend this place. I will post photos of our order and even photos of how much food we did not eat! Glad we only wasted $ 20.

Five gals from Texas reluctantly rolled up into the parking lot of Tia Juana’s in little ol’ Roswell, NM for dinner at an off time. We opted to sit on their expansive outdoor patio, but quickly changed our minds when we saw how dirty all of the outside tables were.
We each ordered something different — taco salad, chile relleno, cheese enchiladas… everything was surprisingly very good! The margaritas were also very good. We were pleasantly surprised. Shame on us for assuming a non-​Texas Mexican restaurant would be subpar.

TERRIBLE SERVICE is the term to describe this place. I could write a novel on my bad experience but I am the kind of person who doesn’t like to complain but I had to walk out of this place due to being ignored and disrespected by the bar tender and that’s too bad.
From the other reviews I’ve read the manager of this restaurant is not doing his/​her job properly and the owner must be weak to let this happen-​just a guess on this but I would be appalled if I owned a business that treated my customers like this place.
AVOID!

Our waitress was as high as a kite! She tried to take our gin & tonic order as a gin & tonic margarita (?), then asked if we wanted ground beef fajitas. Was aloof to questions and seriously out of it. Stop smoking at work!
Décor and vibe are nice. The food was OK. A whole basket of bottom of the bag chips… Too bad because the salsa was tasty. Very good options on menu, poor execution on the plate.

Ok so I’m from El Paso so I know a thing or two about Mexican Food or at least I should!
I’m actually in town for 3 days on business and I was told by the front counter lady at my super 8 that it was the best place for Mexican food here so I took her up on her word
I went with another coworker of mine and service for about 8pm was rather good… her name was Mercedes and she was pleasant and took prompt care of our orders and waters
I had the 2 Chile rellenos and they were pretty dam good! Twoards the top the seeds were coming big time and things got hot but it was good non the less
I also had the order of Sopapias? And they were amazing as well, I’m a little used to having them dumped in cinnamon sugar but this was a pleasant venture having them plain with honey.
If your passing through and are craving green chilies or good Mexican food, I suggest you stop here for sure!

Horrible place! Worst service I’ve had in a while!
Chips were horrible if that’s even possible! I would not recommend!

Don’t let the 3 stars food you, this was actually a good restaurant for Roswell. I would give them more stars but service was slow. I am beginning to think that is the norm in this small town.
I came here for lunch because it was so close to the Hampton Inn where we are staying. I waited for exactly 6 minutes before the Hostess acknowledged and seated me. The restaurant was not busy, just a handful of tables were occupied. Not even the servers offered a greeting as they walked by. For that, they lost the 2 stars.
I ordered a cup of caldo de res and a chicken enchilada and tamale both with red sauce. The caldo was served with rice and warm flour tortillas. The soup was delicious and full of tender beef and veggies and the tortillas were pretty good. I didn’t bother with the mushy looking rice.
The enchilada and tamale were a different story. They were the best I have ever tasted anywhere due to the amazing red spicy red sauce. Yum yum. I will go back just for that.
The bar area itself is pretty fun and they have frozen margarita machines. So far, this has been my favorite meal since arriving in Roswell.
