"My wife and I recently took a trip to Ojo is recommended by a friend. The rooms are cozy and welcoming. However, when it was time to have dinner, I felt like I enter the circus. The food is extremely overpriced, and prepared in such a haste that it can be nothing but low quality. I ordered the chili Reno and don’t know what on earth I got it was more like a stuffed pepper, full of sweet potatoes and black beans. It was disgusting and had nothing to do with new Mexican cuisine. It made me wonder why it was on the menu. Period. It seems that the staff is ran by an over paid waiter or waitress, and nobody in the kitchen is trained to prepare food. I felt like I would’ve been better off driving back into Espanola and eating at a regularly priced kitchen instead of being charged top dollar for old Wilty food that does not meet the menu description. My advice is if you come to Ojo stay away from the restaurant whoever is running it has no clue what’s going on."

"The filet mignon was cooked to perfection, but it could have used a bit more seasoning. The salmon, however, was both overcooked and lacked flavor. The broccolini and asparagus were fresh and tender. The potato pancakes were well-seasoned and delicious. The grilled salad, on the other hand, didn’t come together as a cohesive dish. While the dressing was nicely flavored, using shaved cheese instead of the diced cheese on the side would have enhanced it. Overall, the experience was decent, but with a few adjustments to the cooking, it could become a great dining experience."

"This restaurant is truly a hidden gem in the countryside. From its collection of homestead tools and equipment to the charming cast iron butter churns, there’s a fascinating history to discover in the decor. The staff, particularly the lady who served me, is absolutely delightful—warm and friendly, she ensured my coffee was never empty and even brewed a fresh pot just for me. The food is homemade and cooked to order, and it's exceptionally good, even accommodating special requests. If you're traveling through the area, it would be a shame not to stop in for a meal."
