New Mexican Restaurants in Albuquerque, NM

“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.“

“We have a new favorite!!! After some of our former favorites decreased in quality, we have been on the lookout for our next spot to get incredible New Mexican food. My husband and I ordered two burrito plates with a side of fries, iced tea and jamaica. It was all fantastic! The customer service was TOP NOTCH and our server even asked what they could improve upon as we checked out. Cannot wait to come back.“

“Quick to be seated, friendly staff, food was excellent. This place was recommended to us and we highly recommend to others.“

“I truly enjoy the food at Garcia’s however the waitress Stephanie at the 4th street store today was so rude. She ruined my appetite and day. NO customer should ever be treated with disrespect.“

“A dream come true! Everything thing here is up for grabs, EVERYTHING! No wondering, no checking ingredients, no special orders. Simply find something you like and order it. The food is awesome 👌 👏 A+++ for the staff too.“

“I came in yesterday to dine for the first time. I ordered Chile rellenos to go. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was also great. The store was located in Old Town. Great atmosphere. Lots of tourists.
Thanks so much, and may God bless you all.“

“Best NM food ever anywhere“

“Been going there for years. It is very similar to the food I ate growing up.“

“Excellent service the food is well prepared JMichael“

“We travelled to Albuquerque and wanted to experience the Indian Pueblo Cultire Center. Since we knew there was a dining option, we arrived hungry and I have to say we couldn’t have selected a better meal stop! Mark was our waiter and we each ordered something different in order to sample as many options as possible. The Pueblo taco was delicious. The chef makes the fry bread and it was worth every bite. After our meal we ordered and shared the Pueblo bread pudding which was so delicious I forgot to take a pic til it was essentially gone! The manager kindly brought one out so I could share a picture with you. If you are going to Albuquerque, this is an experience you will not want to miss!“

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

“Wonderful experience. My parents loved it!“

“Had dinner here when I was in town. It was exquisite!“

“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!!!“

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

“Came here on a recommendation from a local. They told me it was a spot not to be missed, they were not wrong! Rudy, Sarah and Kristy were my amazingly, friendly and super knowledgeable servers. They gave me a great info about the brewery history and so much information about each beer, they paired it perfectly with my lunch, definitely order something when you’re here at the food is great. This is by far the best afternoon, I could’ve asked for before leaving town. Check em out, you won’t be bummed!“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Awesome place highly recommended.“

“Stopped here by accident but so glad I did. The chicharrones were so good. My boyfriend had the carne adovada christmas style. So good!! I got the Barbacoa. My
meat was so tender and the tortillas were delicious. The salsa had a kick. I will be back again.“

“Lunch special Great family restaurant“

“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!“

“Amazing amazing tacos. Ordered the steak taco dinner. Cilantro onion cheese lime guac. Fresh food and meat, had no off putting smell.clean bathrooms. As soon as i saw women cooking and cleaning the place I knew it was going to be good food amd Clean. I was right. Women tend to be cleaner and more observant in their cooking and cleaning. Especially Hispanic women“

“Enchanting hideaway historic New Mexican cuisine. Delicious Family run Iconic . 5 Stars“

“We had Mother’s Day’s breakfast and it was a great experience. Attentive staff for a group of 10. New seating area on the patio was a beautiful experience. The food is fabulous, highly recommend the carne adovada breakfast. The meat is tender, paired with the hash browns and eggs, so delicious.“

“well the entree was delicious. I would have preferred a beer with my meal but not available. staff members professional and courteous. Roll Tide!!!!!!“

“This location has dine in, which is decorated with photos of vets brought in by customers. Much nicer than drive thru other locations. Their burritos differ from others and are worth trying. They are larger than handheld so you will need a fork.“

“Whenever we are in Albuquerque we make it a point to eat here and it has never disappointed us. It isn't a big fancy place, but a cozy family place with a great menu. Service is fast and the food is great. I highly recommend dining here and you, too, will find it a great place to have an equally great meal.“

“Just finished annual pilgrimage to the very best food in New Mexico“

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

“This is hands down, the best fast-food Mexican restaurant in the Los Ranchos area! Off Osuna near 2nd St, the restaurant is fairly new and exceptionally clean. The food quality is outstanding, with generous portions—our favorites are burritos & tacos! The staff provide quick, friendly service, and menu prices are very affordable. When we’re craving a fast meal, Burrito Express on Osuna is our go-to spot!“

“I had the cod sandwich last week with sweet potato fries. Both were GREAT 👍🏻 I was very pleasantly surprised. The service was great as well, everything was so clean and orderly. I look forward to coming back again for lunch, what a great place to eat.“

“Close to places I wanted to go to… the mall.“

“We are in Farmington for a few months for my hubbys job. We went to Wecks Saturday morning. The food was amazing, service was awesome, and it was super clean. But all of the staff were so friendly to everyone, and they all seemed truly happy!! Definitely going back again!“

“found this place over 20 yrs. ago while visiting..in the ensuing decades i've eaten at almost every highly regarded/rated restaurant in alb. and they don't stand up to hurricanes. i recommend to anyone passing through to try them out,you won't be disappointed.“
