Honestly one of the best local restaurants in the area. I eat here at least once every time I visit Cuba! The gorditas are on point, and the Red and Green chili are some of the Best I've had in the entire state!! Get something Christmas style and you won't regret it!! 10/10 recommend if you are stopping through, or just hungry for some authentic New Mexican food

Wonderful little resturant! The chicken fajita were so good! Guacamole had the best taste & salsa had a nice but subtle bite. My waitress Casandra was so sweet & personable. She was very attentive to any needs. SHE IS A KEEPER!

Update: 8/4/2023- We stopped by again for a quick lunch on our way through Cuba, with great anticipation for the excellent food we’d experienced before. I hate to say it, but we were very disappointed. We had the nachos again and they were still really good. We ordered the “homemade” onion rings as an appetizer. The onion rings we were served were not homemade. They were edible but not very good. The chicken fajitas were awful. The chicken was possibly boiled and appeared to only seasoned with lime juice. The texture of the chicken was gross and the sauteed vegetables were not done. We should have sent them back but we didn’t. We will go back sometime, but will stick to enchiladas and nachos. Original review from 2020: We stopped by for a quick lunch on our way through town after seeing the great reviews on Yelp. The food was excellent, as was the service. We were greeted warmly upon our arrival, with no wait. Our order was taken promptly and cooked by the owner, himself. I got the nachos supreme, which was way more than I could eat by myself. We all enjoyed our meals, which included a big bowl filled with homemade sopapillas. They were fantastic and the honey they were served with was the real deal. Don't hesitate to stop by and enjoy a meal at Prescilliano's. The building exterior was nothing to brag about, but the food and the service was. I sure wish we lived closer!

We just wanted a slice of pie and a cup of coffee. My goodness, homemade apple pie with a big scoop of vanilla Icecream, was absolutely delicious. The coffee was also fresh and delicious. I noticed some Mexican style meals that looked and smelled delicious from others around us. We will definitely stop here again

I love this place. Red and Green Chile is always great here! I come here so much. I feel like I memorized the menu and can get a job here. Lol. My favorite is the Red Chile Huevos Rancheros with Over Easy Eggs! Perfect every time I get it!!!! The food and atmosphere bring back so many memories of being a child. Pres has my heart for sure! Every time I visit home, NM, this is my go-to spot.

Great Food: Great Service:Great Location. The service here is always great! The food is always great as well. Food is out quickly so this makes a great stop to eat usually in and out in 30 minutes. Servers are well dressed and the tables and restaurant is very clean. The booths at this restaurant are very cozy. They offer a wide variety of desserts in their dessert case. Overall a great place! Parking is also very convenient and handicapped friendly. :-)))
