We have a family with four kids, so we are always looking for family-friendly places to eat when we are in Ruidoso! Here are some of our favorites.
Tina's Cafe - 2825 Sudderth Dr - Delcious, fresh New Mexican food, sandwiches, soups, homemade pies.
Cornerstone Bakery - 1712 Sudderth Dr - Known for their breakfast and brunch. Gets crowded, so arrive early! They will give the kids pastry dough to make their own creations while they wait.
Alto Cafe - 810 State Hwy 48, Alto - This is our absolute favorite place to eat in (or near) Ruidoso. It's less than a 10-minute drive from Fore Bears Lodge. They have amazing breakfast, hand-breaded chicken fried steak, and a Friday catfish buffet. Great portion sizes and family friendly prices!
Gathering of Nations Buffet - Inn of the Mountain Gods - Everyone can get their favorite foods at this buffet inside Inn of the Mountain Gods.
