Really friendly service, and the food came out quick, but I've never had Italian basil in my basil stir fry instead of Thai basil, or chunks on chicken instead of minced chicken, or chili powder instead of chili peppers, but it tasted good anyway. And they gave complimentary ginger rice soup, which was really nice. I don't know if it's really authentic Thai food, but it's probably the best in the area.
Food is delicious. Waitstaff is very friendly. Food comes in mild, medium, hot and Thai hot. For me, medium is plenty spicy. Hours are different from what is on Google. Monday thru Friday they are open 11am - 1pm (till 1:30 for takeout). They re-open at 4pm for dinner. So far we have liked everything on the menu. One of, if not the best asian restaurant in the Las Cruces area.
The best Thai Food on the east side. Servers were attentive and a nice atmosphere inside a very unassuming exterior. The food was excellent, with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors, but not very hot (I'm puzzled why so many establishments are having a hard time delivering hot food to the table these days). If it were hot, the food would merit a fifth star easily. Definitely worth a second visit to see if I can get a HOT meal. The complimentary potatoes soup was a nice touch.
*In regards to there (spice level) I went with a medium for starters, not knowing the chef. Next time I will order the "hot" level. Their spiciest level is "Thai hot". YMMV.
Driving by on the highway, it's easy to miss this place or dismiss it. Don't! It's a charming place inside. It's not fancy but it's very comfortable . The lady who waited on us was friendly and accommodating. For an appetizer, we ordered fried tofu and veggies. It was wonderful. I'm not a big tofu person, but these pieces were cut thin and fried perfectly. Crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle. The tempura fried brocoli were cut in small bites and cooked beautifully. The two dipping sauces were good, though I prefer peanut sauce a bit more spicy. We both ordered curry. Parang and Red respectfully. Medium heat for these was perfect. It was a little hot at first, but as we kept eating, the effect mellowed. We also tried the stir fried ginger. Medium was too hot, and the veggies could have cooked longer, but we really are curry people st heart. Seriously, give this place a try. I really doubt you will be disappointed!
Renoo’s has always been hit or miss the past few years and unfortunately is now low quality for both dine-in and takeout.
Takeout: 2x wait than expected, almost inedible, leaked everywhere (the teriyaki chicken was flooded with sauce). The Thai basil had hot spices dumped on top (which is how they’ve adjusted “heat level” for as long as we’re aware). The heat sits on top and is just hot, no flavor depth. No one ate even half their meal.
Dine in: stick to traditionally busy times for the best cook (Fri, Sat). When we’ve tried to go during off times since changing ownership, the food has been pretty bad. We regretted spending the money when we could have made better Thai food at home.
The food here is fantastic! My only complaint is that it is so far out of the way and removed from Las Cruces. They also have very odd hours. So make sure you know if they are open before making the drive out to Organ. The service is ok, not terrific, and they never have any hot teas or coffee. The miso soup is pretty bland but everything else is very good. We always start with the tiger tear salad. I have a hard time deciding between the pad Thai and salmon curry. Then we sometimes end with the mango sticky rice. If you are looking for good Thai this is the place to go.
I have been to this place about 4 times and for some reason every time I go it's closed
If you're visiting las cruces or are wondering what to do for dinner, Renoos is always a must have. Though I miss the Massaman dish I've discovered something new and always fantastic. The staff treat you like family every time and have the best Thai around.
Tom Yum Talay was so flavorful, service was outstanding. Highly recommended.
Vegetable Stir Fry w Tofu
Tasteless
Best Thai place in town. Excellent customer service, cozy atmosphere, and tasty food with lots of choices.
absolutely delicious!!! i loved the tofu pad thai that i got—it was a HUGE portion! worth the drive for sure!!! :)
Dinner with friends at Renoo's never dissapoints!
Great spot, delicious food, definitely worth checking out
The best Tom kha guy I ever had!
Another delicious meal at Renoo's. The Beef Supreme and Teriyaki Chicken, both mild, were perfectly seasoned. The Pad Thai with Tofu, medium spice, was also delicious. Till we meet again!

The food was delicious! Best Thai food I've had! The manager (Joee) was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely return everytime we travel to NM.
This restaurant is truly an almost hidden treasure. The food is fresh & delicious, excellent service & is clean. Prices are reasonable. Definitely worth the trip up the hill!
Always good food.
Ordered take out, and the food smelled old and tasted off. This is really disgraceful and disgusting to take over $50 and then serve old noodles and stale food.
Renoo's is fantastic. Easy to order, and really delicious food. Perfectly cooked. I've been several times, and I've loved it every time! I actually messed up my order over the phone last time (my fault), called back, and they fixed it straight away, no worries, no problems. I'll be back again, a thousand times.
I got the Pad Thai, it smelled really off. I tried a bit and it was NOT good. I think the food was old or a bad recipe. The server surely saw we had not eaten any and did not ask about it or offer to replace it. I just saw now in another review someone else got food poisoning from the Pad Thai, that would make sense to me. I'm glad I didn't eat it. Wish I hadn't paid for it. Again it smelled rotten.
I used to love this place but the owners have stopped caring about putting out an edible product.
This review is based on the fact that we were refused a table upon arrival.
We entered the restaurant at 12:40 and were immediately told they would be closing in 5 minutes. The posted hours on the door were 11:00-1:30. The posted hours online are also 11:00-1:30. And while I understand that hours are subject to change, the behavior of the hostess was 100% unacceptable.
After asking her to clarify, she rudely repeated that they would be closing in 5 minutes and could not accommodate our party of 3. For context, we drove from El Paso, so definitely not news we were excited about. Upon questioning the misleading hours on the door and online the hostess pulled out a small plastic stand and slammed it on the counter. At no point was I, nor anyone in my party being rude or disrespectful. After slamming the plastic stand, the hostess walked away without uttering another word. She began tending to other tables. Shocked, we waited a minute or two but that was the end of it. No apologies, no explanation, nothing more than a slammed sign.
Needless to say, we drove from El Paso on a few recommendations - the food may be great, but we will never know as we will not be making the drive again. I will also pass my experience along to prevent others, that look like me, from experiencing such a disrespectful display of hospitality.
Since you stop serving at 12:45, I am suggesting Google to edit your lunch hours from 11:00-12:45.
Recently tried this place and I am glad we did as we will continue to go back! If you like thai hot, this is THE place for that. They did not hold back on the heat and we are glad they didn't! But even without the heat, the food is delicious. Highly recommend!
Food was fair but somewhat pricey. Nice staff, and family atmosphere.
Delicious food. Always
The food here is great. However, the service is severely lacking. Had family in town and everyone was excited to go eat here. The Google business page said they're open until 8:30, as did the paper sign on their window.
We showed up at 7:45, but were told they wouldn't sit us because the kitchen was closing in 15 minutes. We asked about them being open until 8:30 and the girl just shrugged and said that we could order to go. Didn't make any sense that we could order to go but not sit down and eat.
I've worked in restaurants and customer service before, and I know they just wanted to get out of there as early as possible, which is understandable, but to lie and say the kitchen was about to close and to turn business away 45 minutes before you close is wild.
We had a huge group that descended on this small restaurant and overwhelmed them. The food was good.
Best Thai Food I've had anywhere. The sticky rice and mango dessert is to die for also.
A deceptively delicious spot! It doesn't look like anything from the outside. In fact, I had my doubts. But the intimate space yielded flavourful food. Most options can be vegan with tofu or eggplant. The server will also ask if you're vegan, to omit any fish sauce. The hot spice level is quite tolerable, not bad at all. I loved how the Thai basil was blended into my dish! Not too oily, freshly cooked and brought out in good time. Only downside is one server means it took a little while to be served, but really, that's a minor complain. Would definitely go back to this hidden gem!
We decided to make the short drive out to Organ to try lunch. So glad we did! From the outside, this was probably a place that we would not have stopped for, but several friends had told us about the great food. When you walk inside the atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing. Our server was excellent and the food was very good. The portions are large, we had enough for another meal the next day. We'll be going back soon to try something different, definitely worth the drive.

Selection was great, so many options available for each style. Fresh ingredients, expertly cooked, kind and friendly service.
Everything tasted super fresh and rich in flavor. The shrimp in the Tom Kha were a little overcooked but the creamy soup is to die for and we absolutely loved the Basil chicken. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu.
Great little place. Wonderful appetizers and food. Wait staff attentive and sweet. Loved it! Great find.
The sweet and sour pork is not the traditional Chinese fried battered sweet and sour gooey thick red sauce.
It was not battered. It was more like a stir fry with a delicious sweet, sour, hot sauce. It wasn't thick , it was just a nice delicious sauce with some vegetables and pork. I have not had anything that tasty in along time. I had a medium hot. It was just the perfect hot. I normally get hot or Thai hot, but the medium was just right. My son brought it home so I don't know about the service or atmosphere so i didn't grade that. It was really far too, about 17 miles. I would drive that far for that deliciousness.
Some of the best Thai I've had.
Delicious!
Lived only 12 minutes from here and we had never been. It is delicious and we will now be regular customers for this place!
Twice I’ve gone to eat here and the server has turned us away. I got there before 1 the online says they close at 1:30 and told us we can’t sit.
They offer us to go. But the time before last we took the to go and ate in the parking lot and the hot food in the styrofoam tasted like burnt plastic.
Honestly disappointed in the whole experience. (Will change my review if they change their hours to reflect their actual time)
Fantastic thank you Renoo's for a wonderful Thai meal
Some of the best food and also best ambiance in the whole area
Food was excellent. I’ve had nothing to complain about at all. The environment was clean and friendly and the restaurant smelled wonderful. Waitress was friendly and the food was prepared quickly. Our cups were never dry. Their Panang curry is out of this world, spicy or not.
Really friendly service, and the food came out quick, but I've never had Italian basil in my basil stir fry instead of Thai basil, or chunks on chicken instead of minced chicken, or chili powder instead of chili peppers, but it tasted good anyway. And they gave complimentary ginger rice soup, which was really nice. I don't know if it's really authentic Thai food, but it's probably the best in the area.
Always great! Wish I found them sooner when I was coming down to Las Cruces and White Sands National Park. A lot better than the chains (don’t get me wrong though, I do like the chains). Can’t go wrong with any of their dishes too.
Amazing Thai food at an unsuspecting place. Not far from WSMR Las Cruces gate. I stop here at least once on every trip. Highly recommend!
I love everything about Renoo's. Especially the owners and the staff. Highly recommend.
Absolutely delicious and authentic Thai. Wonderful service.
placed an order of hot red curry for takeout, but the order got mixed up. called back, and the woman working was so kind and apologetic. went back, got the correct order, and had some absolutely wonderful eggplant curry. I ordered it hot, and let me tell you, it's hot! i love spicy food and this one really surprised me. great food and great service. :) just an awesome little hole-in-the-wall place!!
Beef supreme thai hot!!
Renoo’s is definitely a hidden gem! The food is delicious and authentic. They have an amazing fried rice and tofu dish, very vegan/vegetarian friendly. The atmosphere is charming and the waitstaff were friendly and attentive. I highly recommend.
We totally surprised with this finding, its pretty authentic thai restaurant in a small town. It’s sit in the middle of nowhere, and the restaurant sign is not very visible. The deco is nice and the every dish we order is great. Phai Thai Tofu is very flavorful, green curry taste light and fresh, seafood soup has lots of seafood inside and taste good too.
Definitely worth to stop by if that’s on your way.
Food: rice was dry, veggies undercooked, not the right noodle for the menu, burnt chicken, not the best thai food you can find :/ and price wasn’t the cheapest for what it is
Service: the server was absolutely nice, she did the best job. The noodle had extra charge of $4.5 when you add beef on the noodle, but it wasn’t mentioned anywhere in the menu nor it was mentioned by the server
Atmosphere: we got there at night time, horribly hard to find cuz its middle of highway ish, with no light around the place. Door was very weakly close. Loved the interior inside the restaurant, it was kinda cute.
Curry dish all raw even eggplant! Dumped red chili powder on top...tried to kill me! Dish was coconut soup! Not curry dish. They didn't know how to make it. Asked her to fix it she said no. Not sure why we paid for it. Will never be treated so rudely again. Did not take care of their customer!!!!!
I ordered take out and the wait time for my food was super short like 10 minutes. The tofu is crunchy on the outside and noodles/vegetables season well. I wanna try medium/hot next time
We have enjoyed dinner at this restaurant many times over the years and always had an exceptional experience. Not any more. The ownership has changed, and so has the experience. The food quality and variety has diminished, I was seriously wondering "where's the meat?" in my last dinner. Unfortunately, I will not go back.
#2 visit to restaurant a year later than first review…
Something has happened…
Neither my friend, she had pad Thai…nor me…seafood soup and crab Rangoon thought our food was not as good as it was a year ago….
Soup was more broth than anything…
Small amounts of crab in Rangoon’s…soggy
Something has happened…new cook??
Too bad as they have some business but not like it was …
Awesome food…
Hubby and I ate there last week..
Crab Rangoon’s and shrimp rolls plus sea food soup incredible
Pleasant waitress…
Small eating area…if more than two people…call for reservations
Organ is the town…small and not a shopping area…but this place is worth the drive..
Food is delicious. Waitstaff is very friendly. Food comes in mild, medium, hot and Thai hot. For me, medium is plenty spicy. Hours are different from what is on Google. Monday thru Friday they are open 11am - 1pm (till 1:30 for takeout). They re-open at 4pm for dinner. So far we have liked everything on the menu. One of, if not the best asian restaurant in the Las Cruces area.
Food was mediocre, bland. Waitress was more interested in her phone vs service.
The definition of a "Hidden gem"! Outstanding food, great service and a friendly knowledgeable staff. The dishes are well conceived and thoughtfully prepared. My new Go to for Thai food.
Good food. Comfy seating. Soup was a good portion. I would eat here again.
Cons:
1. You can hear the staff in kitchen (sometimes swearing).
2. I found it expensive. 3 small deep fried rolls should not be approx $7.
3. Drinks were insanely expensive at approx $3.50 for a pop or coffee.
4. Silverware is cheap and thin.
5. Ppl park directly infront of entry try with their headlights on. Very bright, like eating in a spot light. Possibly could block off this spot or two.
Best pad Thai I've had
Great food. Large selection of menu items. Great prices for what you get. Friendly staff. Small venue. Daily specials. Plenty of parking. Odd location as Organ is essentially a ghost town. Well worth the trip if you are in Las Cruces or WSMR. I highly recommend their Curry's.
The food at Renoo’s is very good. The potato appetizer soup excellent. The service, however, was lacking. At least at first. Lunch service ends at 2 pm. A little before 1 pm we were turned away by a server, except for takeaway, because it was too close to closing time! Wow, we thought. Then post that restriction on the website to save folks the drive. We mentioned that to the server. The response was basically “not their responsibility.” We left. The owner saw us leave and asked about any problems. We told him we had been turned away. He was very upset and asked us to return. We did. We were served by a different server who was very pleasant. And, as I said, the food was great. On our way out, though, a loud comment by our first server, let us know our return was unwelcome. We will return in the future though.
Drove to have a meal August 30 from Cruces. Arrived at 710pm and was basically turned away. I said I would even do take away & was told that a 45 minute wait because only one cook and restaurant quite full.
Soooooo disappointing ! I came once for lunch & wanted to try a nice dinner meal.
Shocked that In our economy that money I wanted to spend was frowned upon.
I have visited Thailand in person and was so happy to experience real Thai food in the area.
Disappointed in Cruces !
I've been a regular takeout customer for over 4 years but the last two times the quality of the food was not good. We hadn't given them another try for several months until today. I called and was immediately put on hold before I could speak. I remained on the line for 10 minutes and could hear everything that was going on there, at which time I hung up the call. I tried calling back for the next 30 minutes(only to lodge a complaint) but got a busy signal or voicemail each time. I will not be ordering from there ever again. Obviously, management of the place has gone downhill. If I could've given zero stars I would've.
Thai calamari dish should be just an appetizer. It's just fried Calamari with rice.
Amazing food and service just seconds away from the Organ mountains. This will become one of my favorites!
My first time there. Wonderful cashew stir fry and pud Thai. Very pleasant wait staff. Wish i didn't live so far away, but I'll be back there soon.
Looks closed but it's not. Finally some decent Thai food!!
I have ordered takeout from this place 1/2 dozen times and not once have they ever made less than excellent food. I don't care if it's "real" Thai or not (as some other reviewer said), it's delicious
Another wonderful visit to this beautiful restaurant. Don't let the unassuming outside fool you, the food is awesome. 6 visits jn and I stand by my previous statement.
Unique location and menu, but because this secret is out, be prepared to wait. Spicy-ness May be heavier than else where, so don’t ask for mild unless you mean hot! Service May be slow, because of popularity. It in the end, it’s all worth it!
My favorite spot in Cruces. My go to is the Drunken Noodles and Thai tea.
I'm in town visiting family, and my parents love this place. I love Thai food too, so we had it for dinner last night. Around midnight I woke up to the worst spell of food poisoning I've ever had. I know it was the Pad Thai I ordered, because I'd only had a snack from home all day. It's now 6pm and I'm still feeling awful. Can't recommend this place.
OMG, the Thai food here is so good. Sorry no photos this time. We were very hungry and ate our entire meal quickly. I am so glad i found this place. I live in El Paso and have not found a good Thai restaurant yet. I highly recommend this place and it is now on my favorite list to visit again.
Amazing! Best Thai food anywhere. Panang curry is a must eat. You will not be disappointed.
Seriously, this place is so yummy. Their coconut soup and curries are to die for. My friends and I love coming to this place for any occasion. The decor inside is really cute and staff are friendly with good service. They can veganize any of the items upon request.
Great food , loved the taste and service
So happy that we have this restaurant in our town. We got the Pad Thai and Red Curry; we enjoy how light yet flavorful the dishes were. We got medium spicy and it was perfect. Not sure about others but we will come back multiple times for sure <3
The best Thai Food on the east side. Servers were attentive and a nice atmosphere inside a very unassuming exterior. The food was excellent, with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors, but not very hot (I'm puzzled why so many establishments are having a hard time delivering hot food to the table these days).

*In regards to there (spice level) I went with a medium for starters, not knowing the chef. Next time I will order the "hot" level. Their spiciest level is "Thai hot". YMMV.
Excellent food. You gotta have the Pad Thai and the curry is also amazing. Well worth the drive if you are in Las Cruces. Just make sure you ask the waiter about your foods spiciness. Thai food is hot.
The food here is fantastic! My only complaint is that it is so far out of the way and removed from Las Cruces. They also have very odd hours. So make sure you know if they are open before making the drive out to Organ. The service is ok, not terrific, and they never have any hot teas or coffee. The miso soup is pretty bland but everything else is very good. We always start with the tiger tear salad. I have a hard time deciding between the pad Thai and salmon curry. Then we sometimes end with the mango sticky rice. If you are looking for good Thai this is the place to go.
Very cute location and decor. Food was delicious and portions were generous.
Great restaurant, service, food, atmosphere. Very reasonable price, generous portions.
Delicious tom kha gai and Panang curry with tofu. Yes, it’s a small, out of the way place. Perhaps you’ve heard something about how all restaurants and service businesses are desperate for help. My service was great, the food even better, frankly much better than many popular restaurants in town. Take a short drive and have a tasty meal. It’s probably more like a 4.5 but the best I’ve had in New Mexico. Go eat there.
This place kicks the doors down. We stumbled on this place. It's a great find. Our waitress was great and kept our drinks flowing. The food was fantastic. Everyone chose different items on the menu so we could share them. My father is not adventurous with food, to my surprise he tried and liked it all. The portions are great, and the prices are spot on. *Warning Thai hot is hot* When asked medium is perfect for spice lovers. Thank you for showing our family a great time.
Fried rice: Cook adds too much sugar or sweetness to recipe; the rice was either not chilled overnight or was overcooked and soft. The basic recipe would be much improved to make this dish very good if both these comments were taken to heart.
Nice place to eat Thai food. Never knew this place was out here. Nice cozy environment. Nice employees. Good food. Got the drunk noodles. Pretty good. Be aware. Their hot spice is really hot.
Excellent food and service!
Love it here, feel like I'm in NYC with delish Thai food, nice music and lovely decor
When I walked in I was greeted swiftly by the most lovely girl Joee. She was welcoming and efficient. The pleasant environment made me regret having to eat my take out at home. The food was the best Thai food I've had in 5 years!!!! I will be back.
This place is mmmmmm.....
Loved it! Can't wait to come back for authentic Thai food in a rustic, yet comfortable setting.
Service was very slow but food was good. We asked for medium spicy but it was mild. They didn’t have Prik nam pla, a very common Thai table condiment, a staple in every Thai restaurant. The person who greeted us and took our order was very friendly. The other person bringing our food acted like she was doing us a favor. Anyways, we were hungry and we just ate fast and left. Just a note, the restaurant is in a rather dark location and the building looks terrible from the outside at night. The ambiance inside was cozy and comfortable.
Terrific, chill vibe in the foothills. Delicious menu. Kids and parents loved everything.
What a gem! The food was delicious, service was friendly & fast! I got the Thai stir fried vegetables with tofu & My husband got the Thai basil chicken stir fry. We liked both so much that we got an order of chicken pad Thai to go! Easily the best Thai food we've had in southern New Mexico. Worth a trip!
Excellent food and service👍🏻
Fantastic. There is nothing bad on the menu. Don’t be deceived by the look of the building.
Great food. Heat levels are accurate!
Love this place. Like to come here often.
I would not recommend going to this restaurant until they get their act together. We ordered take out and the drunken noodles were not edible as to all the oregano or spice. Plus we ordered mild-medium and it came medium-hot. The fried dumplings were over cooked and greasy. It’s such a shame they are not good anymore.
One girl worked as server and cashier... She was way busy but nice and the food was good
Excellent food, excellent atmosphere, excellent everything. I make the trip 15 miles multiple times a week it is that good.
Great place - worth the trip!
Fantastic food, friendly folks, and a cute little restaurant. A+!
Had dinner on a Tuesday and was very impressed with the flavor and quality of the food. We ordered the Thai dumplings (grilled), summer rolls, shrimp supreme and I took the chicken larb with brown rice to go since I wasn’t very hungry. We were served miso soup and it was probably the best I’ve had. All the sauces were obviously made from scratch and the food was very vibrant. Will definitely come back. I can see how the other reviewers would be upset about slow service but that was not our experience. There was only one server but we were one of three tables.
Absolutely delicious. Very friendly service. I will be going back!
Thursday night dinner for two review.
30 people dining in when we left, 6 take out orders while we were there. ONE waitress. This place must make an absolute killing because they only have a couple staff to pay.
Atmosphere was stuffy, noisy.
Tables, silverware, cups, bathrooms, floors chairs, and walls were not clean.
Waitress, please don't touch the refill pitcher to cups that is really gross.
Food was weird. I wouldn't call it Thai food. Maybe someone's perception of Thai food. Honestly, just use recipes off the internet and it would be more authentic.
Don't put rice paper on your menu description and then deliver something made with wonton wrappers. That's not rice paper and also not nice to anyone trying to be GF.
Everything deep fried tastes like stale shrimp.
I wouldn't be so critical if the place was clean.
I walked out feeling like I wasted $75
Excellent food and service. Eat here often and have never been disappointed.
Went with a large group. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food and service was great. Would recommend for anyone looking for authentic Thai food.
The food is good, but I won’t be coming back because the waitress , Elizabeth, is extremely rude. I got there at 1:25 pm and she told me , we close at 2 and there is no time for you to eat… I said, 35 minutes is not long enough ? Plenty of time… she looked angry… so I wonder , if they close at 2, why can’t they lock the doors at 1… if they are so bothered by customers arriving after 1 pm… and that’s not all… 10 minutes after my food arrived, she asked me if I was done, because she has to close the doors…
Great food and decor, urban/modern/Asian...loved it! We had the red curry and pad Thai and spring rolls.. everything was yummy! Wait staff super helpful and friendly 😀 Will definitely be back!
Such a pretty place. The Pork with Almond stir fry is absolutely delicious. It is definitely worth the drive.
Update: I repeat THE FOOD IS AMAZING!
However the service needs some serious improvement. They either need more help or just need to work on some things. My boyfriend called to order for pick up, the time was 12:30pm. They put him on hold for almost 10 minutes, so he hung up and tried again. This time it rang but with no answer. So I tried on my own phone, they answered, I asked to order but the woman said "give me 5 minutes give or take" and just immediately put the phone down. I waited 12 minutes and decide to hang up. She could have taken our order and just given us a longer wait time for our food if they are so busy. I wouldn't mind. But leaving the phone, without even taking the order seems a little off-putting and not the best way to keep customers who adore this restaurant. Figure it out, I guess. Sad because this has some of the best Thai food in town.
1st Review:
Lme say first that I had the Tom Kha soup and it was the best soup I think I've ever had! It was so delicious and creamy and satisfactory. I was in heaven.
We sat in a corner on a Saturday night and the place was semi-busy, but we waited 5 min. without help before going up to the front to get our own menus. And finally I waved down a waittress. I belive it was just an accident that we were missed, and she was very lovely and friendly. But if this were to keep up it could hurt their reputation.
Besides the wait, the food and atmosphere is beyond great. I will be coming here as often as I can.
The place is very clean, waitress is very friendly and thoughtful. Food was amazing, all the ingredients had a delicious flavor and seemed very fresh. Curry was amazing! Best thai food in the area
We started with tiny little fresh spring rolls stuffed with cooked ground pork. I popped one of these babies in my mouth, The rice wrapping was perfect: chewy, soft, the perfect balance to bring out the exquisite flavor going on in my mouth. Next came Yon Woon Sen, a cellophane noodle salad w/ shrimp and ground chicken. We bravely ordered it “medium.” Warning - order things MILD here unless you love the hottest spice level! I had go back and finish every last bit of the dish! Last was the crazy stuffed chicken wings. They were deboned and stuffed with ground pork and deep fried. Served with a sweet and sour dipping sauce, we scarfed down these wings. We ended the experience with the absolute best Sticky We started with tiny little fresh spring rolls stuffed with cooked ground pork.

We bravely ordered it “medium.” Warning - order things MILD here unless you love the hottest spice level! I had go back and finish every last bit of the dish! Last was the crazy stuffed chicken wings. They were deboned and stuffed with ground pork and deep fried. Served with a sweet and sour dipping sauce, we scarfed down these wings. We ended the experience with the absolute best Sticky Rice with Mango dessert, with custard. Though we were stuffed, we finished it . The chef is Renoo Alexander, 72, from Thailand. I loved it so much I snuck into the kitchen to thank her and bowed in true reverence. Rice with Mango dessert, with custard. Though we were stuffed, we finished it .

What a pleasant surprise! We stopped at Renoo’s for a break during our roadtrip to White Sands NP. It’s solid: nice decor, friendly service, air conditioning, and typical thai restaurant menu: pick a dish, pick the protein, pick how spicy, and voila. The food exceeded our (admittedly low) expectations. We’d love to come back! 5/5
Nice food, nice service!
I have been driving past this place for a long time. One of my team members ask if I wanted to eat there. I always thought it was closed cause it looked closed as I would drive by. But I stopped in the food was awesome and the service was great had a great lunch had the garlic beef stir fry. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing
First time at a Thai restaurant and I would highly recommend it. Food and service were superb!!!
I've been to this restaurant many times to try different things. The food isn't bad for the most part but they continue to disappoint me.
I had to just leave a few times because they decide that it's too close to 2pm (30min till) so they will only take to-go orders. I left as I was looking for a dine-in experience. It would be nice if they posted a policy like "if you want to dine-in, you must be at the restaurant no later than 1 hour before 2pm.
Now to the food:
I ordered "everyone's favorite Shrimp Rolls expecting a decent appetizer. They were tiny for the price and they only give you three. It wasn't enough for one person to snack on while waiting for their meal. ...sad....
I ordered the green curry "Thai Hot." It had bamboo shoots and pieces of pork in it. Not bad.. But the Green curry dish is all about the broth. It had so much coconut milk in it that you really couldn't taste the curry. Broth was white instead of green. The heat I could detect, but when you order "Thai Hot," one would expect to be challenged.
Overall, it was a meal but not close to the best out there.

Prompt and friendly service, well decorated, great selection, and the food was delicious. Lots of vegetarian options as well. Looking forward to going back
Very good! Definitely going back! Tried the green curry, delicious! I'm going back to try the rest and the owners are super nice!
This is a great Thai restaurant that if you blink you'll miss it. And, it would be a shame if you did.
Very good food, very friendly staff. Their Thai Tea was delicious, Pad Thai was amazing, Crab Rangoons, Thai Dumplings, all AMAZING 👏 definitely recommend!
I do not have extensive experience with Thai Food. However, my FIL does and this is as authentic as you can get! After reading the other reviews, we had the Crying Tiger appetizer, Pork Fried Rice, Drunken Noodles, Larb Salad, and Stir Fried Ginger in my party - everything was amazing. The portions were large (we order 5 meals, 1 appetizer and brought home 4 smaller servings).
The reason I take 1 star is due to Ambiance: what I expect in a small restaurant in New Mexico, but you cannot bring a large party, seating is cumbersome (could be related to COVID restrictions) and due to national labor shortage, lack of staff. So, go in aware of these limitations, and you will have a Thai experience worth your time! Just adjust your expectations to allow for a longer dining experience.
Pretty torn on this one. First the good. The food was quite good. We ordered Pad Thai and Panang curry, and both were very tasty. Super cute decor inside, and the one lady running the dining room is quite friendly.
Now for the bad. This place is very overpriced. $15.50 for beef Pad Thai and $4.75 for a Thai iced tea is ridiculous. We ordered for takeout, and my wife placed the order 45 minutes before I arrived at the place, yet the food wasn't ready for another 20 minutes. On a Monday night mind you. The Thai iced tea came in a red dixie cup with a lid too large to fit properly. For those prices? Come on.
Bottom line: it's probably a nice dine-in experience, if you aren't in a hurry at all and don't mind overpaying for good Thai food. This is all in comparison to Central Coast Calfornia, where amazing Thai food is available at very reasonable prices.
So glad I finally found a good Thai restaurant here!
The food is amazing! Trully! My husband and I eat from here at least 1 a week. The staff is amazing! They are exceptional!
But beware, (only reason why I do not give it 5 stars) if you dine in and it's busy your food will take forever. So expect to wait to an hour at most. They usually only have one server and even getting your drinks is a hazzle. So you gotta be patient. The wait will be worth it though!
Just had a Valentines day lunch there, FANTASTIC food and ambiance .The service was excellent. I owned and ran a cafe for 20 yeas and know how much work fresh home made dishes are to create. This is my new favorite place to eat. I live in T or C NM and will gladly drive up the hill to Organ when Im there for appointments and supplies from now on for a great meal. The Drunken Noodles gave me a food buzz. ขอขอบคุณ Renoo. Im you new fan
So yummy & you’re supporting a local business! Came in for the first time for a to go order and the owner took me on a tour of the place. Him and his wife are extremely friendly and welcoming. The pad Thai was so tasty too!! Will definitely be coming back. Portions are a good size too! The drive is well worth it. I liked the drunken noodles and absolutely loved the pad Thai!
Update: Went here for lunch the other day and it was as good as I remember. They got our food out super fast, service was great. We tried the thai dumplings and they were tasty. I think I like their pad thai more than their drunken noodles but both are superb. The mango sticky rice is delicious! Please come and support this awesome small business.
Bummer. Drove up 25 mins from town to try a place on recommendation. Got kicked out because we walked into the place without a mask. Apparently they can afford to not seat people when they have 6 customers in the place. Seems like a good business model.
Went to Renoo's today and were seated immediately but waited a long time for service. The phone rang 3 separate times and we were still waiting. Nobody bothered to ask us for our drink orders. After about 20 minutes with no service, we left. I was not happy with the service this time. As we walked out, staff just looked at us and said nothing.
Fantastic food! Flavor-packed and generous portions! Highly recommend the curry dishes. Third visit there and so far, only negative was seeing couple of cockroaches in the bathroom... but everywhere else visible to customers looks clean.
A hidden gem. Fresh and delicious.
Order in advance and it is basically take out.
We love going to Renoo's! The Crying Tiger appetizer is amazing, and my favorite entree is the Stir Fry Ginger. It has sliced ginger throughout and the flavors are perfect.
Renoo's is in my top two restaurants, and I look forward to returning soon.
Best Pad Thai in town. I like it medium spice, with chicken
Meal was excellent! It was a nice change of pace to drive out to Organ for an evening meal. My only comment is they had one wait staff person working which resulted in things taking long as more diners flowed in over the course of our meal.
Small and friendly. Was very disappointed in the Squid though, was more like Calamari not traditional grilled Thai Squid like advertised.
We gave them a complex order for takeout and they got it perfectly right! Friendly service. Food was good too.
We’ve come here a couple of times and it never disappoints! Great food, excellent portion size and very friendly service.
Honestly very disappointing especially considering the price. Got the pad si ew and the Thai dumings both of which were dry, overdone, and not very fresh. The most unfortunate aspect was that the noodles weren't even the right kind of noodle! Pad si ew is supposed to have very wide flat rice noodles but they used pad Thai noodles which are closer to a fettuccine texture. Even the menu had described it as such and had made a distinction between the two upon the descriptions. And to have spend almost $30 at this restaurant! Unbelievable.
Authentic
The best Thai around. I love this place and the staff are amazing too.
Totally not what I expected. The food and quick service blew my mind! I don't want any other Thai food unless it is from this place.
