“Came here for the Mexican turn over. Had the Carne Adovada and cheese with Red, it was excellent. We also had a combination plate with red and green, and it was also great! Chips and salsa were okay. Atmosphere was charming cute older building. We got lucky with a parking spot! They were steadily busy, not sure who our server was as it was a group effort, they were busy and forgot our refill but no biggie. Prices were good.“

“Wonderful experience. My parents loved it!“

“Excellent food and service! The fruit empanadas were amazing. Best I’ve had!!!! Thank you“

“I drive 20 minutes for the QuesaBirria and the Rio Grande Quesadilla.“

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

“My first time eating at Santiagos on Eubank. At first I was scared to go inside. The outside has bars (criminals can't get it) on the windows and a lot of writing and pictures on the windows which looked tacky. The front of the building could use a pick me up makeover and such. The owner made a customer move from a four seat table to a two seat table and said it was because of the rush hour. I did enjoy the food though! I ordered a breakfast burrito and was dreaming I was going to get fried potatoes, but it was a very light serving of hash browns inside. I will definitely be back to try their other food.“

“Amazing food, dessert and great people. Service is splendid!“

“The food is excellent and very affordable, and the vibes are absolutely superb!! Wonderful atmosphere, very friendly and pleasant people; we’ll definitely be back!“

“Auténtica comida mexicana, como si estuvieras en México. Y El sabor excelente .“

“Been a customer here for well over 20 years. Consistent and really authentic. The stuffed beef sopa was my grandmother's favorite and mine. The servers and staff have been here for a long time and I always appreciate the hospitality. Got my food within 5 minutes and the every seat was taken. Just excellent service all around keep it up. 😁“

“Dedlicious food with large portions and great service!“

“Service was bad to me I don't know if she just didn't care cause we were native an not the other brown skin!!
The food was indeed delicious and so good. The next time I'm in Albuquerque, New Mexico I may try again. Don't let my experience stop you go try the food it is delicious.“

“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.“

“This restaurant is a gem! Family run, and the most delicious food! We've been going there for over twenty years and recently had them cater our daughter's wedding. They went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of on the special night. We can't recommend them enough!“

“This was an unexpected surprise traveling through New Mexico. The price was low for the high quality. Get the lemonade.“

“Food was amazing and people working were very nice. Highly recommend the breakfast burritos.“

“If you get there early enough, you get a nice table. Their food is first rate New Mexican style food. Not Mexican, NEW Mexican. there is a huge difference. Even after they left the bowling alley, they have managed great food at a great price. Staff is always friendly, fast and efficient. The Chile con queso is fantastic. The salsa never lets you down. While the portions are more than I can eat anymore they have lighter dishes that still deliver. If you get there after 6, you will have a wait ~ but it's worth it!!!“

“The service and the food was great.“

“Well worth your dollars. These burgers are big, delicious and juicy“

“Don’t sleep on this place Albuquerque. It’s good. I had the asada burrito last time and it’s big and really good. This time I had the fajitas, chicken and shrimp. Super good. Generous servings. And if they are cleaning the ceiling tiles you know it’s gotta be clean. That’s what I look for. A restaurant that cares about cleanliness.“

“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.“

“Best food in town. Best red AND green chili. Best enchiladas! Friendly staff, fast service and clean environment. Fantastic place. My new #1 place to eat!“

“The food was amazing. Staff was very friendly and you will also find some famous gems along the way inside. Pancakes were fantastic. Huevous Rancheros was awesome, best I had in NM. Can’t recommend this spot enough. Put it on the list you won’t regret it.“

“The Ceviche nachos are my absolute favorite!! Would recommend to everyone! Great family environment as well as wonderful staff.“

“I just ordered beef green chili enchiladas with rice it came with a sopapilla and honey it was hot and fresh and tasted absolutely amazing I love this restaurant if you get a chance you need to go sit inside and have a meal This was delivered to me from DoorDash and it was still awesome totally five stars thank you again“

“Our server, Benjamin was new to his position but went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The bartenders were so great, taking care of an elderly gentleman who left his card at the bar. The bartender also made sure the lighting was corrected when someone made an error as it became dark outside. We will definitely come back to this location!“

“Lunch special Great family restaurant“

“My barria tacos were bomb! I love it! We enjoyed the carne asada fries as well! Definitely will be back ❤️❤️“

“Best Mexican food in Point! Generous portions at a fair price. Everything is fresh and cooked to order. The tacos were loaded and delicious. Also, the avocado sauce hits just right. Staff are super friendly.“

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

“Service and food were great!“

“Ordered the ultimate with an order of guac and chips delicious“

“Very tasty food. Wonderful smoky chipotle. Appreciate the metal art outside the restaurant.“

“If you’re looking for a truly authentic Mexican taco spot that makes you feel like you’re in Mexico, this is the place! The tacos are truly authentic Mexican tacos with great flavor, and the prices are very good.

Just keep in mind that it’s cash only. I highly recommend trying their buche and most definitely their barbacoa tacos. They’re both really good and definitely worth trying. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I love this place. The food is consistently good, the atmosphere pleasant and it is most usually full of customers. The waitresses stay busy and do not purposely ignore new customers, they are most likely bogged down with keeping customers happy with delivering orders, refills of coffee, tea or water and a panoply of other duties that they perform. They are not at fault. This restaurant has been in existence for 30 years, I knew it when Loyola, the founder opened it and I know that her daughter Sara is doing a fantastic job of continuing the service that Loyola started. I have zero complaints with this restaurant and certainly miss it when I am not in Albuquerque. Albuquerque is very lucky to have a restaurant of this quality.“

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

“THE BEST!!!! Food is GREAT, service is off the charts, & everyone is friendly! Can't miss experience!“

“First time here, but definitely not the last. Sorry for the pictures, it's a lot of food and I had already eaten 1 taco. I was very hungry too. Got 2 of the carne asada tacos and 1 chicken. The meat was so tender and juicy. The tortillas were really soft, the rice and beans were so tasty. I was not a fan of the Jicama agua, but they have horchata and sandia, so I got options, because yes, I will be back. My only complaint is that it was really cold!“

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

“I went to La Cocina Familia with a group of friends on Sunday morning and found the place to be friendly and the food tasty and plentiful. Prices are reasonable and service is good. It’s the perfect place to go with a group of people for a delicious breakfast.“

“They have the good napkins! Now I know your thinking “why would that matter” but when you are chin deep in some of the best birria tacos, with the consome running down said chin, you will be grateful for the good napkins! From the carne asada, to the al pastor you can’t go wrong with Barrigas!“

“Great food great service!“

“This is as local as it gets! Ben & Lisa are Burquenos!“
