“This place has an amazing atmosphere. It is very calm and relaxing while also being upbeat and exciting. It is beautiful inside. It makes for a really pleasant dinner. The workers are always coming to serve you more meat. Always bringing out new drinks, which is appreciated because not all restaurants pay attention like this. They are very accommodating to large parties too, which is awesome. Our waiter Ethan was super nice even with my kids being crazy.”
New American • $$
“Food was good as usual and our waitress was great. My only issue is with the sound. We have done to other Season 52's which had more separate areas to break up the noise level. This building is pretty much one large room and so the noise is loud. In order to be heard everyone has to talk louder, which mades the whole room louder.”
Chinese • $$
“Sat at the bar. Food was great. Was disappointed as the barkeeep forgot my drink order completely. By the time food came was resigned to the fact not getting. Not the best service I've had at this restaurant. Will go back to table service and not sit at the bar again.”

“Had a very enjoyable dinner there on a Friday night with my wife, son and his wife. No problem parking within a block and was seated right away for a 630 reservation. Restaurant was only about half full. For appetizers we split the tempura mushrooms which was one of the highlights of the night—very enjoyable. For entrees, we had the fish special, two ducks and the risotto. All were excellent with the fish probably being the best. The desert menu is not huge and we ended up wandering down the street for ice cream. Very enjoyable night out.”
Mexican • $
“Seriously the best restaurant we have found in Albuquerque so far. I’m going to be dreaming about the green chile salsa forever now. The service was amazing and friendly. The food was amazing. The green chile burger was delicious. Brisket Burrito with the red and green sauce. 🫶 Get yourself to The Original Cocina Azul. Our only regret is we didn’t go the first night we arrived.”

“Everything was superior but only because of our server GRACE. She's amazing and we pray that Denny's knows what an asset they have in her. She's so sweet and friendly and she made our entire experience amazing and we'll always come back to this Denny's because of her and her only. She's literally the best thing about this Denny's. That and the food is pretty great too.”
Sandwich Shop • $
“Best Subway sandwich ever!!I didn’t get the lady’s name, but she started my sandwich perfectly. Years ago, I, like everyone else worked at Subway & she asked all the questions at once, ending with toasted or untoasted.Len was diligent, attentive, and friendly. I had half of my sandwich be pepper jack and the other American; they asked if I wanted to upgrade for extra cheese… I said no, but I appreciate the offer. He also asked if I wanted it wrapped separately; labeled.. wasn’t necessary for me but felt worth praising. I also love spinach and he, without judgement, gave me as much as my heart desired.They both were pleasant and while it was a short visit we had moments of laughter.As a business owner— I love positive reviews and as an employee I love receiving praise for a job well done.Thank you Thank you both!”
Breakfast • $
“I've been to this IHop a few times now. It's not fabulous, but I have never had to return a meal yet, so that's always a plus! And I return, so it must not put me off that bad 🙃 and to boot, I'm always visiting in the wee hours of the morning. The service is generally fine. Each time I've come here there is a new story to overhear through the employees. Usually they share amongst themselves very openly, so there's always something to listen to, if not the music. I'm a stiff over cleanliness, and it could certainly use some more attention in that department, but all in all, its a good quick, pick-me-up.”

“Ordered a carnalitas burrito for dining in. This thing was thicker around than my forearm! 🌯🤣 The fillings included lots of shredded chicken, more shredded chicken, garnishes, and other greens. Free sides available at the side bar included triangle restaurant chips; 8 or so different sauces; thin-sliced as well as ring onions; red chilies, carrots and more.
Ambiance was pretty chill, with light traditional folk music in the background. My lady server was friendly, helpful, and I was served quickly and with no fuss. When I was ready to leave, she volunteered a takeaway bag for the weighty half burrito I couldn't fit down. 😁
Location has plenty of parking, being in a grocery store plaza.
Price-to-size ratio hit just right for a single burrito that massive, although part of the menu is a bit too much for said items. But the rest of the menu seems about low - mid average.”
Burgers • $
“Was there a few days ago. The staff were very friendly, especially the girl who took my order, her name was Lupe. They were busy but still got my order fast, really happy with my experience.”
Burgers • $
“Was looking for somewhere open at 4am to sit down and enjoy breakfast & a coffee and found the lobby open here (post-COVID, that's a bit uncommon).

“The absolute BEST dessert I’ve ever had in my life! First, they were all so beautifully designed it was hard to pick just one! Second, the owners were so incredibly kind and told us in detail how the desserts were made. They have so much pride in their work and it’s wonderfully artistic!! Third, I went with the filled Cronut, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it all weekend!! Loved it so much I went back two days later for another one! Excellent job!!!”

Grown Kids loved it, I just had a medical procedure and my taste has changed over the last 1.5 years, and picky, but it was still great and the always picky grown children loved it, even more and bought a fridge fulling amount of "stuff" from the deli, they knew how to make perogies, now making excellent perogies. Visit this place. Little pricey but worth it.”
Asian • $
“I love it. Unlike other Vietnamese restaurants, the name is easy to remember and there's a two page menu. Bugs me going through a 10 page menu with 10 items listed 100 times. we order their spring rolls on our way to Costco. They make them right in front of you. Tasty and delicious an at eight dollars and several options, This is a great alternative to grabbing a burger on the way home to Edgewood.”
Ice Cream Shop • $
“I could not believe how fast they were done with my phone repair! Such a professional job and they were able to tell me how long and how much it would be for other repairs they had to order parts for.

“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!”

Indian • $
“Naan and Dosa is the best Indian Cuisine in Albuquerque. We have eaten at the buffet more than 10 times. Our favorite time is on holidays, Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. We tried the new Indian place today on Wyoming and Naan and Dosa is so much better.”
Bakery • $
“Trash bizcochitos that taste like sand. Way overpriced for average food. You can get the same quality in any Walmart bakery. Also the person who responds on Google decides that bad reviews must be lies. Call me a plebian with no taste if you can't handle criticism after 55 years in the business but don't pretend that there's no possible way someone couldn't like your dismal food so they must be lying. Go literally anywhere else for bizcochitos or coffee milkshakes or empanadas and you'll be doing better. If you just want to support local, you can't go wrong here.”

Plus, there is local art displayed that is for sale.”

Indian • $$
“This is our favorite restaurant in Albuquerque. Not just our favorite Indian restaurant, but the best restaurant, period. Every time we go (once a week!) we are blown away by the incredible food. I can't even describe how amazing it is. The spices, the flavors - everything is exceptional. If this restaurant was in Boston or New York, the reservation waiting list would be a month long and it would be three times as expensive. So grateful it's so close by. If you haven't gone yet, you need to!”

Brewery • $$
“Have no idea why this restaurant's on Opentable... when my party and I arrived, they had no record of it. Apparently they had a 22-top and two 10-Tops booked, but that's no excuse. They need to update their availabilty on this app! To be served, we had to sit at two separate tables. Food wasn't the greatest this time either. I'm not sure if we just went on an off night, or if this is how things are run there from now on. Either way, I won't be back anytime soon. ”

“IMO, the best sushi restaurant in the Albuquerque area. I have gone dozens of times and have never once been disappointed. The food is amazing, the service is beyond welcoming and friendly, and the atmosphere is inviting. The chefs put out flawless entrees and appetizers.

“Just really disappointed. Cheeseburger was requested medium rare. It came super rare cold in middle I think it was pulled right from package. Steak was perfect medium rare and delicious. First lobster bisque was lukewarm, 2nd was delicious and hot. first garlic mashed potatoes was room temp as well. No idea what 2nd was like I requested not to bring 2nd but they brought it anyways I did not try. Lobster was over cooked, funny that old Red Lobster was better to eat. Seems weird to say. They brought cheesecake in to go box. Why make it worse to open at home with 2 mini drops, one side. No care at all, husband and I just looked at it and laughed thought perfect end to awful meal.”

“I appreciate that they offer food that’s cooked from scratch - not fast food. If you’re impatient or want a quick meal this may not be the right place for you.
My family and I have enjoyed a hand full of vegetarian options and our favorite dish to share is Frijolada without meat. It’s a generous bowl of goodness that can easily be shared between two.
The food is made and served with care. It’s like eating at home.
Thank you 🙏”

Bistros • $$
“We went to dinner last night in celebration of my husband’s birthday. From the moment we walked in, we were met by the most delightful hostess. The ambiance and the entrees and wine were fantastic; My husband ordered the filet mignon and I had the chicken dish which were both absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection; the sauces…wow! On the other hand, the desert, a strawberry chiffon cake was a bit underwhelming and not up to the excellence of the entrée. On the way out, we met up with one of the general managers who took the time to ask us about our meal. He couldn’t of been more gracious.The price was not over the top. We look forward to a return visit.”
Bar • $$
“I stopped by after a long day at work and an evening in class on Thursday. I’m so happy I did. I was overwhelmed with an amazing atmosphere, fantastic service, delicious drinks and wonderful music! I had the Carmen, it was a spicy delight and the coctel Mexicano was just right, my taste buds were quite satisfied! If you’re free on a Thursday evening, this is the spot! I’ll definitely come back!”
Custom Cakes • $$$
“I absolutely loved everything about The Cake Boutique. My husband and I got engaged in Puerto Rico, so when we saw that Birdie had a Pina Colada cake filling, we took it as a sign that it was meant to be. Birdie was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Responsive, kind, and very obviously loves her job! She made us the most delicious and beautiful cake that was better than we could have imagined. I would highly recommend The Cake Boutique to anyone who is looking for an amazing wedding cake experience!!”

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!”

“What a WONDERFUL experience we had this evening. My son turned 21 a couple of weeks ago & we went on his actual birthday to have dinner & a margarita, but we were denied because he didn't have he still had a vertical license (understandably). Fast forward a couple of weeks: We went to a Kansas concert tonight (he just so happened to get his horizontal license in the mail today) we're looking for a nice place to celebrate his 21st birthday with a margarita. We found Fiesta Azul Tequila House & what a great choice that turned out to be!! We were greeted warmly & seated immediately. The ambience was lighthearted & fun. Very clean & beautifully decorated. I LOVED the glasses. Very pretty & vintage. The beautiful young lady who we had the pleasure to have serve us was named Taina (I hope I am spelling that correctly) & the rest of the amazing staff made our night one to remember. She noticed his birthday on her own, gave him his 1st shot on her, & orchestrated the entire staff to sing 'Happy Birthday' to my boy. And then, when I went to tell the managment about how wonderful of a job Taina did, we ended up getting into a great conversation that lead to my Son getting another complementary tequila shot. Say what?!?! Delicious food, delicious drink, OUTSTANDING customer service. I will be a return customer. HIGHLY recommend!! I am definitely a fan. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Each course was delicious and served with great care. The head chef, Daniel, was very kind and wanted to ensure that we had a great dining experience. We can't wait until we dine here again!”

“Greetings Longhorn Team,
Myself, and my son had dinner at your establishment today. I ordered a ribeye, my son ordered chicken fingers. The steak was cooked med perfectly. Just as I ordered it, medium well. With. Little pink.
Our waitress, was spot on, who was working at the bar, was on top of her game. She consistently, refilled my Coke Zero and my son’s water. Checked on us, very frequently.
Great food and service.
A enjoyable evening, that came with tremendous customer service. Anyone, looking for great food, and delicious steaks. Along, with tremendous service. This is the place to come, and a great meal.
I, highly recommend; Longhorn.Steakhouse. Their steaks are better than Texas RoadHouse, in my opinion.
Best regards,”

“So, yes, it's a little bit pricey. Now that that's out of the way... You're paying for the view and location. Our food was very good. Service was very good. We will definitely go back. I'm surprised we waited as long as we did after the rebuild. Oh, there were people there dressed relatively casual. No t-shirts, but many people in nice jeans. We've eaten on the bar/casual side a few times before and the experience there was also positive. Yes, check the prices before you go so you don't get sticker shock. But the truth is, two people could easily have dinner with no wine, appetizer or dessert for around $100.”

Steak House • $$
“This is one of my favorite places. We went during lunch and were not disappointed by the service, atmosphere and most importantly the food. Lunch menu is understandably less than a regular dinner. But I had the Steakhouse salad with blue cheese dressing and the seafood soup. All with warm bread and butter! And for about $10 bucks each??!! You'd pay more than that at McDonalds! Great Value, Fatastic service and Delicious food at a great price! Thankyou!”

“First night of their new summer menu and Left Turn knocked it out of the park once again!!! Floating on Basil made its return from last year’s summer menu- basil infused vodka, lemon juice, pineapple juice, soda water, and house made strawberry simple syrup 😍 The drinks are incredible, the bartenders are fantastic, and The Kitchen at Left Turn makes the most delicious fresh chicken nuggets I’ve ever had- make sure you get the housemade green chile dip to go with them!!”

“If you love the flavors of the Mediterranean, this is your destination for a magical experience. Everything was perfect. The cocktails were delicious and subtle, I had four of the Aloi, I tip my hat to the bartender. My friend and I shared the Tiropita for an appetizer, it felt like having dessert before the main entree. It was a wonderful combination of either feta or cream cheese with a delicate flaky filo dough. My friend had the steak salad and he was overwhelmed with the perfectly seasoned and cooked steak and the balance of salad fixings...he said it was one of the best meals of his life. I had the grilled pork chop, which was huge and exquisitely seasoned to absolute perfection. I chose the feta mash potatoes and the grilled asparagus, a fine accompaniment, so delicious! One of the best meals of my life! The waitstaff were attentive and fun, they humored every request with a focused sincerity. If you enjoy fine dining, then you must put Dorothea on your map...brace yourself for excellence.”

“Food and beer were delicious, the patio was misted, and the staff were super nice! We got the shrimp po boy and it was enough food to split. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, crisp on the outside but not chewy. I’ll be adding this place to my rotation!”

“Celebrated a Birthday dinner and the food was excellent! However, our server; who we had before was a disappointment again. Lack of attention and poor memory as to who ordered what and handing over the food across the table rather than standing next to the person and putting it down. We've been a customer since you opened in 1979.”

“The food is fresh and delicious. The service is first rate.A big attraction for us is the gluten free menu and most excellent. Our server was helpful and explained the dinner options and had great wine recommendations. It is the kind of superb service we are used to. Paisano's ambiance is understated elegance. We have been enjoying Paisano's for nearly 20 years. It is an exceptional restaurant and that keeps us coming back year after year.”

“This hibachi experience was absolutely amazing! Kong was our grill cook and he was phenomenal!! truly a 5-star performance from start to finish. The food was delicious, perfectly cooked, and he made the whole experience fun and memorable. Our server, Sireya, was just as wonderful! She was attentive, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed.
What meant the most to me was how welcomed my children were. They weren’t just tolerated! they were treated like family. The staff made them feel comfortable and included the entire time, which made our night even more special.
Highly recommend! We’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.”

“Seriously the best restaurant we have found in Albuquerque so far. I’m going to be dreaming about the green chile salsa forever now. The service was amazing and friendly. The food was amazing. The green chile burger was delicious. Brisket Burrito with the red and green sauce. 🫶 Get yourself to The Original Cocina Azul. Our only regret is we didn’t go the first night we arrived.”

“Had a chance to visit while I was in town. Nice buzzy atmosphere and some really nice looking food options. We'd already eaten lunch, so we opted for dessert from Neko Neko. Loved it! Soft serve ice cream with a Japanese twist. We had the taro ice cream with toasted coconut and black sesame with azuki stuffed taiyaki cone in a cup. I'll definitely drop in when I'm next in the US. ....... Back for an encore every bit as good as the first time”

“What a WONDERFUL experience we had this evening. My son turned 21 a couple of weeks ago & we went on his actual birthday to have dinner & a margarita, but we were denied because he didn't have he still had a vertical license (understandably). Fast forward a couple of weeks: We went to a Kansas concert tonight (he just so happened to get his horizontal license in the mail today) we're looking for a nice place to celebrate his 21st birthday with a margarita. We found Fiesta Azul Tequila House & what a great choice that turned out to be!! We were greeted warmly & seated immediately. The ambience was lighthearted & fun. Very clean & beautifully decorated. I LOVED the glasses. Very pretty & vintage. The beautiful young lady who we had the pleasure to have serve us was named Taina (I hope I am spelling that correctly) & the rest of the amazing staff made our night one to remember. She noticed his birthday on her own, gave him his 1st shot on her, & orchestrated the entire staff to sing 'Happy Birthday' to my boy. And then, when I went to tell the managment about how wonderful of a job Taina did, we ended up getting into a great conversation that lead to my Son getting another complementary tequila shot. Say what?!?! Delicious food, delicious drink, OUTSTANDING customer service. I will be a return customer. HIGHLY recommend!! I am definitely a fan. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Let me tell you about the best sweet potato pie I have ever had. Base: crunchy, chewie, sweet and salty. Sweet potatoe: rich, silky, creamy. Topped off with perfect cream (not too sweet) and maple syrup.
Not only was the pie a dream, so are the handcrafted drinks and crispy, fresh breakfast burrito. Do yourself a favor and visit this place.”

“I definitely recommend if you want high quality sushi for a decent price.
The conveyor belt in my opinion is a good way to try each item on the menu and from there you should order from the menu, which is cheaper.
Either way, similar price to going out to eat at an Asian buffet but with much more sushi selection. Service is pretty good!”
