" Disappointing experience at Hillcrest. Despite the good reviews, I found the service lacking and unwelcoming. We waited a long time to even receive menus, and it took over an hour for our main dishes to be served. By that point, we were frustrated and just wanted to leave. When the food finally arrived, I found it to be mediocre at best and not worth the wait. I was hoping for much more from this local establishment. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have a mixed impression of my visit to Hillcrest Restaurant. The decor and ambiance are charmingly retro and welcoming, which made me optimistic. However, the food didn't quite live up to the hype. I got a burger that was overcooked, and my friend ordered a veggie quesadilla, which she found bland. The service was decent, but I felt invisible at times. I will give it another try for breakfast since I've heard good reviews on that front. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came across this charming diner while on a road trip and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our journey! We were greeted warmly and seated quickly. The menu offered a variety of choices that made it tough to decide! I ended up ordering the classic Chicken Fried Steak, while my partner chose the fajitas. Both were delicious and served in generous portions. The atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming, bringing the nostalgic vibe right out of a classic film. I highly recommend this spot — it won't disappoint! " (*Curated Review*)

" During our recent trip through New Mexico, we stopped by Hillcrest Restaurant based on some rave reviews. The atmosphere is delightfully nostalgic, making you feel like you’ve traveled back in time. We sampled various dishes, including the steak and enchiladas, and they were both decent. However, I expected a bit more spice in the Mexican plate — something to keep in mind. Service could be improved as we had to wait longer than anticipated for our meals. Overall, a nice stop, but occasionally underwhelming. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Hillcrest promises a great dining experience steeped in nostalgia, but my visit didn’t hit the mark. My chicken fried steak was good but not memorable. The ambiance was enjoyable, and the wait staff were very friendly. However, they were overwhelmed during dinner and it took too long to place our orders. I am torn, as there seemed to be great potential, maybe just a rough night. I might give it a second chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a find! If you're in Las Vegas, NM, Hillcrest Restaurant is a must-visit. I had the pulled pork burrito and was blown away. The green chili had the right amount of heat. The staff were helpful and friendly, and the old-school ambiance is exactly what I love in diners. Time to try the Burnt Cheese Tacos next visit! Truly a spot to remember. " (*Curated Review*)

" An unexpected delight was my experience at Hillcrest! The interior is charming and quaint. I had the special of the day, chicken enchiladas with green chili, and I have to say they were some of the best I've tried! I also appreciate a familiar and friendly service team who made my visit all the sweeter. I’ll definitely return to enjoy more delicious food on my next trip. " (*Curated Review*)
