“This was the best place I have ever dinned in at! I have been to a lot of places and I have never had a restaurant that had everything look exactly like the photo as well as excellent taste. I'm not one to open up and try new things but I went 4 days in a row and I everything I tried was beyond amazing. The management is extremely nice and the waiters were super nice!

“A classic example of how Google can help plan a vacation. Had one night in Albuquerque and wanted traditional New Mexican cuisine and Mary & Tito’s was a home run. The food was fresh, hot and incredibly delicious. The only thing that topped the food was the friendliness of the entire staff. Amazing experience!“

“Best Barbacoa burritos in town!“

“I really wanted a good bowl of menudo. I searched for "best menudo in Albuquerque" and after looking at pics and reviews, decided to try Los Olivos. It was a good decision. I ordered a small bowl of menudo along with chips and salsa. It was the best I've had so far in Albuquerque. Tripe was 95% honeycomb and the hominy and broth delicious. Broth had great flavor, wasn't greasy or thick or overly spicy. It came with a perfectly grill toasted bolillo. While they charge $1.99 for chips and salsa, it's worth it. They're really good, and better than most. Service was good and friendly, even checked into to refill my coffee. I will be back to try other menu offerings.“

“Best birria tacos Food is fresh and delicious great customer service“

“muy buena comida gran sabor auténtico exquisito.“

“Dedlicious food with large portions and great service!“

“I've ordered from this place through the doordash app four times already, and on all occasions, it has been pretty bomb. They're super quick! But most importantly, their food taste consistently good! I didn't rate the atmosphere because I've never been there in person, but when it gets to my house, it still tastes legit!

¡Gracias a los trabajadores por el buen servicio y por cocinarnos comida deliciosa en este lado de Albuquerque!“

“The atmosphere is great, service was amazing and the food was spectacular. I love the fact that they show on the receipt a cash and card price! Not much of a difference in price.

Overall, great spot, better food and even better people, the owner Richard always goes above and beyond!“

“Nice people running this joint! Give your money to good people! 😇“

“Taqueria Mexico serves the best burritos I’ve ever had! The burrito was huge, packed with fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. Every bite was full of flavor, and the balance of textures was spot on. The staff was friendly and the service was quick, making it an all-around great experience. The only thing I regret is that I don’t live in Albuquerque to enjoy it more often! Highly recommend for amazing Mexican food!“

“Just wanted to give a big thank you to Monroe’s on 4th Street. We went in a little nervous about food allergies, but the staff completely put us at ease. They were so kind and careful. The manager even went out of his way to call the head chef at another location just to double-check everything for us. They gave us a list of safe options and took every precaution to avoid cross-contamination. It meant so much to see my daughter enjoy her lunch without worry. Truly grateful for how thoughtful and accommodating everyone was. Highly recommend if you’re navigating food allergies. They really care.“

“Delicious food, generous portions, and fantastic service 😀“

“Delicious food! Excellent red chile and tortillas are to die for!“

“If you love old diners - this is awesome. I didn't realize this was featured in Breaking Bad. Absolutely classic. Food was great. Diner food with a local twist - you know - Hatch green chilis. Service was friendly and fast. I will be back next time I'm in town.“

“The food was hot delicious and on point I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a delicious authentic Mexican meal. Very helpful staff and price was very reasonable thank you to everyone who was working and made us feel at home“

“Food is amazing. Fair prices for the portions. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food this is the place! You get to eat in, take out or drive through. Glad it's in the South Valley. Their meat is perfect, slasa is so good. And OMG Their tostadas and nachos are unbeatable! Will recommend ?.“

“Hidden gem! Family-owned with amazing food, friendly service, and great prices. It feels like eating at your grandparents’ house—if your grandparents were chefs. The biscuits and gravy are incredible, and their carne adobada is one of the best in town.“

“This place is SO GOOD!! A couple of co- workers and I went for our lunch. And was not disappointed what so ever.The service was amazing. Our waitress is awesome at her job. She recommended the special, and it was so delicious. Its hard to find a good New Mexican restaurant. But we hit GOLD with this one .“

“I decided to try a new local restaurant for breakfast today and had heard really good things about Mick's Chile Fix, and since I was looking for a good chile fix I decided to try it. This place is awesome. I ordered takeout but the diner was super quaint and comfortable, it looked like a fantastic place to have brunch and it smelled amazing! The little gift store they had on the side was super cute too. I ordered a regular sausage breakfast burrito smothered in red and the portions they gave me were absolutely massive. Definitely a 2-day breakfast. The red chile is really rich and flavorful, I'd say a medium heat with enough kick to make my nose run, and the meal was delicious. 12/10 would recommend to anyone looking to support a local Mom&Pop-style restaurant while getting Grade-A+ New Mexican food at the same time. Will have to try the rest of their menu.“

“Fire don’t leave without having a #stuffed #sopapilla“

“wow! all the tourist spots had waits. come here! try the 3.99 peppers wrapped in bacon. the steak fajitas are to die for.“

“Always good. The green chile stew with a little bit of pork is always my favorite. My dining companion had three tacos. 🌮 They were so much for him, he had to take some home. Always recommend Abuelita's. Nice, calm, quiet spot in the South Valley. Check out the times to see if they are open. 😀“

“The food is always amazing! 🤩 The green chile chicken enchiladas platter is my favorite! The lunch specials rotate on a regular basis and always provide for a new, great gluttonous experience!

Parking: The business is in a busy shopping center, so just prepare yourself for tight parking spots and have patience! It is well worth it tho!“

“Incredible dinner find for our visiting family…delicious asada taco plate, generous portions as well as a healthy serving of crab & fresh avocado tostada. Friendly, prompt table service & my personal like: very comfortable, custom engraved leather chairs…so unusual to find comfortable seating in small family restaurants. Obvious Pride -of-ownership …& did I say VERY reasonable $$…less than meals at fast food chains!“

“This place is freaken awesome, love coming here by myself, and the waitresses are cool mellow people. Even one of the waitresses will give you another pour of coffee which is awesome and also how many films was filmed here, this is a good place to bring family and a good morning breakfast to relax at, the pancakes here are bomb, can I get a amen yay“
