This is a Chef Michael Demeo at La Baracca in T or C New Mexico!!I work alone and without a staff. My hours can fluctuate depending on whether I have private parties or catering.
Text in all orders or inquiries. It keeps me paperless and speeds up service. Sometimes I close early if I sell out or become overwhelmed. My current/full menu is available on my Facebook page, simply read my posts. I can open off days for customers, if I have the time I will accommodate you whenever I can. We just need to make an appointment.
I can offer you the best food in town, I’m just not the biggest operation at the moment. It’s a work in progress. I appreciate all my customers so much, thank you for your continued support!!

We decided to order from here because of all of the amazing reviews. We were at the local TorC brewery and placed a pick up order. I was soon after met by a call from Michael, they were actually closed for the day due to the road this resides on being completely closed for construction. Michael was beyond wonderful and offered to come to the restaurant and prepare our order anyway, which blew me away. In our order we have two of the eggplant Parmesan dishes, although the dish is already prepared with plentiful thick cuts of eggplant, Michael was transparent in saying the dish is normally served with 3 slices and due to the closure there was only enough eggplant on premise for 2 slices each, I was more than okay with this yet Michael offered free cheesecake dessert for both us to make up for it. We accepted and I am just absolutely blown away by the customer service, taste of food, and efficiency between placing order and receiving (not even taking the fact that the restaurant was closed!! into consideration).

What a great treat for our small town of Truth or Consequences to have such a great chef. Have eaten there quite a few times over the last year. Best homemade pasta and the most heavenly sauce and meatballs. He is switching things up on the menu these days so I had gyro. Beautiful presentation, freshes ingredients and the tastiest homemade fries on the side.

Mike is a fantastic executive chef who originally hails from Philly. GREAT food! Don’t be fooled by the outside and having to text your order. Food is authentic and well worth it! When in Truth or Consequences, you MUST get food there! Tell Mike that Dan & Amber from Philly sent you!

Best restaurant we have ever eaten at in New Mexico. The ingredients were extremely fresh and flavorful. The lasagna is phenomenal. The fresh mozzarella salad surpassed the lasagna but they were both wonderful. Eggplant Parmesan was out of this world. We will be eating here each time we visit Truth or Consequences. Thank you Chef!

My first meal from La Baracca was worth the wait for them to be open when I was in town. The Hayashi beef stew was full of tender beef, mushrooms and onions, paired with the golden mashed potatoes it was comfort food with all the flavors you didn’t know were missing. A side of roasted corn with tangy cilantro and lime made the meal complete. Looking forward to my next visit.

Michael is an amazing chef! Our fifth wedding anniversary was made so special by his culinary skills. He uses fresh ingredients that are locally sourced. He delivered it to us alfresco from next door. The food was so good and the dessert was divine! Thank you, Michael!

What a strange but delicious experience! When we passed the location earlier in the day, we didn’t realize it was a restaurant. Signs on the door said Don’t Knock and Do Not Enter. There are menus on the table outside when it’s open, but we texted to ask about the menu since we were doing carry out. The owner/chef, Michael, responded quickly and directed us to the La Baracca Facebook page, with the menu items in the most recent post. We texted our order for the cheese tortellini and the hand rolled meatballs over fresh linguine and spumoni ice cream. It was ready quite quickly (20 min after ordering) and Michael brought it out—make sure to pay in cash. It was delicious! The tortellini especially was bursting with flavor, and you could see and taste the fresh herbs. The meatballs were hearty and the tomato sauce really let the tomatoes shine. The ice cream was a nice finisher but really the pasta was the star. It was a surprising amount of food, too! At first we thought it might not be enough but we were both full with a little leftover, which made for a nice midnight snack Definitely worth checking out!

Excellent food! My wife has been following LA Barracca online and we finally had the opportunity to try it. On a recent trip From Silver City to Taos we ordered three Philly cheesesteak plates. Excellent flavor and generous portions. We will definitely be back.
