“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.

They are very accommodating to large parties too, which is awesome. Our waiter Ethan was super nice even with my kids being crazy.”

“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.”

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.”

“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.”

Vegan • $
“This place blew my mind. It's a little unassuming, as someone who struggles with liking milk shakes, these are tasty and not milk based. The burgers and chicken are all 100% plant based, but in a blind taste test I don't think I'd know. The burger wasn't a good imitation, it was just a good burger that happened to contain no meat.”
Mexican • $
“Mac’s La Sierra is a solid go-to spot with great food and friendly service. The portions are generous, everything is cooked fresh, and the flavors hit the spot every time. It’s the kind of place you can count on for a good meal without the wait.
The staff is welcoming and efficient, and the atmosphere feels comfortable and local. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or a sit-down meal, Mac’s La Sierra delivers consistent quality and great value. Definitely recommend.”

Steak House • $$$$
“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.”

“We went for Mother's Day, and the ambience was great and the food was good. But the service was very slow. It took one full hour for the salads to come out after we place the order. We asked the waiter three times where the salads were and he kept forgetting. Finally, when they did come out, they were kind of wilted. Then the entrees came out and they were good, but then we had to remind him again several times for the dessert that came with the meal and for the to go boxes. The food was good but service was not.”

“This is the best bar in town. The staff are amazing: their service is prompt and friendly. Once you have gone a couple of times, they remember your name and your drink preference. The tables are clean, the bathroom clean, and the patio is lovely. They are dog friendly, and they allow you to bring your own food. Also, the food trucks are excellent as well as the DJ nights. Take a glance at their event board as it has a lot of flyers that are cool. They support the arts, so they have new artist works often. The ciders are fantastic. They have a 10-ounce option if you don't want a full pint. I really like this. Great cocktails. Plenty of parking. In the afternoon it is a really nice place to take your computer and get some work done in such a kind ambient. Very safe for women. You are allowed to smoke on the sidewalk. Gay, straight, minority, handicapped, and older person friendly.”

“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 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!”

The management also deserves credit — the restaurant is well-organized, clean, and everything runs efficiently. It shows that they care not only about the food but also about creating a positive experience for customers”

But the drinks, WOW! The drinks at Gather was one of the best cocktails we've had in awhile. Go to this gem, you won't regret it.”
Brewery • $$
“Our waiter was very nice. He took the effort to make sure everything was good to our satisfaction. I did not eat my salad I ordered. He asked if for some reason I did not like the salad. It had nothing to do with my waiter or the restaurant. I did not know what kind of lettuce was used. I should have asked. I medically can not eat roman lettuce. Everything was wonderful. We were a little worried about getting in because of it being New Years eve. We did pick your restaurant for our New Years Eve dinner because we have always had such great service and food.”

Sushi Bar • $$
“Rolando was our waiter and was very knowledgeable in the menu and offered great customer service. He went above and beyond to make our dinner experience nice. Chris K. came around and picked up our plates as we had finished eating. He was pleasant and talked with us. You could see that he worked well with Rolando as they joked.

Great for casual, late-night meals. Solid choice!”

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!!”

Our server, Caitlin, had excellent presentation and provided outstanding service—she anticipated what we needed without us even having to ask. The manager Bea also stopped by to welcome us, which was a thoughtful touch.
We previously had a terrible experience at the Albuquerque location, so the Rio Rancho team has truly been a breath of fresh air. We’ll definitely be returning to this location in Coors, hungry for more.”
Ramen • $$
“It was my first time trying Oni ramen for lunch. I ordered ramen noodles and beef dumplings from special menu list. I liked sitting at the bar facing busy kitchen and listening to music. It was a first winter day in Albuquerque, gloomy and rainy, - so the cosy warmth of the restaurant with rich hot ramen broth brought comfort to my soul. I will definitely come back to try regular items on the menu”

“My bestie and I came here for some life celebrations/a girls night and it was perfection! We started with some delicious cocktails crafted by Aliya who provided top notch hospitality. We then got a couple of apps, the tuna tartare and the jicama duck tacos, both phenomenal and packed with amazing flavors. Now we get to the best part.. the grass fed tomahawk steak. WOW. We got it with sides of thier lobster mashed potatoes and mushrooms. The combination was to die for. The steak was perfectly cooked, cut and presented. Incredibly tender and juicy, with a little crispiness on the outside. I was in heaven and so were my tastebuds. 10/10, 5 stars highly recommend Dorothea’s for any occasion!”

“We eat here often and it’s always consistent. The food drinks and service are always amazing! Love their specials on different nights including all you can eat shrimp night. Their calamari is the best I have ever had. Love their crab legs and espresso martinis. They have a great bar with TVs and a wonderful dining room for the family. Open kitchen so you can see the cooking and even an outdoor patio. Definitely recommend!!”

“We’re visiting from Los Angeles and were genuinely surprised to find such authentic Sichuan food in Albuquerque! The flavors are incredibly authentic — bold, numbing, spicy, and aromatic with real depth. It’s not just heat for the sake of heat, but a rich fragrance and lingering aftertaste that truly reminds us of home.
We especially recommend the grilled fish and Mao Xue Wang. The cooking was spot on — perfectly balanced seasoning, tender meats, and flavorful ingredients throughout. It honestly tastes just like a high-quality Sichuan restaurant back in China.
The service was warm and welcoming. The owner was very friendly and took the time to patiently introduce the dishes. The restaurant is clean and well-kept, and the food came out quickly. It’s not easy to find this level of authentic Sichuan flavor in New Mexico. We’ll definitely come back next time we crave something spicy and will absolutely recommend it to friends!”

“I love all the M’Tucci restaurants! Always great service and welcoming! Also I like the fact that each one has some items on their menu that is common to all four but each chef has specialties that they create unique to their particular restaurant!”

“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.”

“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!!”

“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.”

“Its hard to rate this place due to me not wanting it to get too popular. The food is top notch, the old town tea will have you grabbing a to-go pouch and coming back for more. They have amazing beer! The service is attentive and always ready to chat and blow your mind on facts. They are a full service distillery and make some amazing spirits. Love the owners and the entire place is awesome. ( they have a sitting view of the distillery). Its in a great area that is right off the freeway and off the beaten path. If you don't love it something might be wrong with you.”

“Enjoyed the Lunar New year entertainment today. I would have never tried this place had the Van Hanh Lion Dance group had not preformed here. Enjoyed the show, the vibe, staff, chef was hilarious and food was a generous amount for the price. I would say this is the best hibachi in ABQ out of the few I’ve tried.”

“Food was great, we had a large party so tip was included. Whe we fist arrived we had a waitress and she was great, would've gotten over a 20% tip. They had a shift change and the waiter that took over would not have gotten a 20% tip! Will not be our top choice next time we have a large party.”

“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.”

“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.”

The rice and beans had the perfect amount of spices and the sour cream enchiladas were awesome! We have often been a patron of Eloy’s and we will continue to support this restaurant. Great New Mexican food, you will not be disappointed either!”

“Celebrating an 80th Birthday. Everyone's food was good except for the Birthday guy. Huevos Rancheros had very little taste and the eggs were too mixed up in meat. Would not have ordered meat if he'd known that. Meal was disappointing for him. The dessert Flan was a nice gesture.”

“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.”

“I'm here on vacation every winter. Lulu's is one of our favorite stops and we patronize it on a consistent basis. Unfortunately (for me) last night I deviated from my norm and ordered the London broil. It was over cooked (I requested medium) and I struggled through it. My appetizer was fine and my friends were delighted with their selections. Sometimes things simply don't meet expectations- I'm good and will plan to continue patronizing Lulu's”

“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!”

“I am very particular about the texture of meat - gristle, fat, tendons, unexpected bones are a big no for me. Kabab & Curry has delicious, carefully trimmed chicken in their Butter Chicken. The sauce is rich, flavorful, and delicious. Their garlic naan is huge, and so yummy. This is hands down my favorite Indian food in Albuquerque.”
