“Miriam was our waitress and she was so pleasant and efficientThank you, Miriam, for making our experience wonderful!The food was delicious and I'd recommend this place to anyone.Dietary restrictions: My daughter got the gluten free chicken and rice dish, so I know they have gluten free options.”
“It's a nice place and great drinks, but I don't think the food is worth the price. The staff is very friendly and attentive, but the drinks are worth more than the food.”
“I was absolutely blown away by just how awesome an experience Mesa Provisions provided. Due to the small size of the location they require reservations upfront, which is easy to make online. From the moment I arrived the staff were friendly and helpful. The hostess was very helpful and friendly. We were seated very quickly and greeted warmly by our waiter. He provided great recommendations and helped us select an outstanding wine to complement our meal. The food was delicious, to the point that just writing this review is making me crave their food. From the salad to the entrée to dessert, each item was amazing. Their prices are comparable to other locations in the Nob Hill area, but in my opinion you really get outstanding value for the price. I cannot wait to go back and recommend them 11/10 stars (yes they broke the rating system, they were just that good.Parking: There is an area of parking meters approximately 400 feet east (towards the mountains) from the front entrance.”
“This place is freeking AMAZING, robot server brings your first round of drinks,and sings you Happy Birthday, size of the pots are ???...Boba is ??..our server azariah was Awesome great service..???will be back!!”
“We had dinner here while on spring break and to celebrate some birthday’s. We had the aintipasto platter to start. We also tried the pizza (amazing crust and sauce) the pasta special with shrimp (the ? were wonderful and spicy, fresh, good sized) and the minestrone soup. For dessert we tried the Butterscotch Budino (my favorite ?) the Tiramisu also very very tasty and the cannoli. The service was cheery and fun!! And the atmosphere was right what we were looking for to be amongst others also enjoying themselves and having a good time. We were so happy to find this place after walking in to a few others that just didn’t have the same feel. I highly recommend this establishment!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Love my time spent at Lescombes. I treat myself with a glass or two of the Imperial Kir and an appetizer. Enjoy the ambiance and the people at the winery. Delightful way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon.”
“I think this is my new favorite place for seafood boils. The flavor of their house sauce is delicious. The potatoes were a little firm, but we're still edible and weren't a disappointment. Definitely going back.”
“Diaz is the best sushi place in town hands down. The quality is unmatched, portion sizes are great, and their creativity with ingredients and display is so unique. Never had anything like it, instant favorite!”

“This place was a hidden gem in a very unexpected place! Albuquerque is a bit rough, rugged and dreary, so we were extremely surprised to find a Seasons 52 here!We made last minute bday reservations for two at 7pm on a Wed night, and they were very accommodating. We decided to enjoy the sunset from our hotel room, so we called back to move our reservation to 8pm, and they were very helpful.We were nicely greeted and seated at a very nice window booth as soon as we arrived. This place is absolutely gorgeous, and rivals any 5-star restaurant in any major metropolitan city. First impressions were Wow!I ordered a dirty martini with blue cheese olives, and husband got a manhattan. Our wonderful server Adriana even got me an extra olive, and let me tell you, these were a very fine quality blue cheese. Absolutely delicious! She later got me four more upon request.We each ordered Cesar salads, which were delicious with authentic anchovies dressing, sweet cherry tomatoes, large thin shavings of parmesian cheese, and perfectly crunchy croutons.For appetizers we had the lump crap cake, which was very good and surprisingly fresh for being so far from the ocean.We also had the amazing meatballs & marinara sauce for an appetizer, and we were blown away by how absolutely delicious they were! They were hands down the best I've ever had! We liked them so much, we orderd some to go along with extra marinara sauce.For dinner I had the chilean sea bass, which was also amazing and the perfect portion! I eat chilean sea bass often, so tend to be picky, and they didn't dissapoint!My husband had the 8oz filet mignon medim rare and it was cooked to perfection. He also loved the mashed potatos and asparagus that accompanied his dish.For desert, Adriana brought out a lovely display of desserts that were in small perfectly portioned glasses. One was on the house for my bday, and we ordered two more to sample. We had the pecan pie, keylime pie and strawberry chocolate cheesecake. The were all delicious! my favorite was the keylime, my husband's was the pecan.The restaurant even had a bday card for me signed by staff at our table. What a thoughtful gesture and classy touch!My birthday was such a memorable treat and I felt so special.We highly recommend Seasons 52! They're top-notch and our server was phenominal! Thank you so much for making my bday extra special Adrana!”
“We are addicted to Buffalo (not chicken) sandwiches here!Vegetarian options: The entire restaurant is 100% vegan which means it’s 100% vegetarian but betterParking: I didn’t count the number of spots, but the parking lot has never been full and it seems like you could probably park on the street if it ever wereKid-friendliness: It’s a casual place, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t be kid friendly”
“Absolutely incredible! I arrived a little before they opened and the line was already forming...but it moved quickly and was well worth the wait! I ordered a variety of items and every one of them was amazing! Top bite was the loaf of banana bread with brûléed bananas on top The croissants were flaky, the sourdough was fresh and the cookies were perfectly sweet! This is a must try in ABQ!”
“I like I Scream Ice Cream! It's a retro ice cream shop that offers huge selection of ice cream flavors (and toppings). The environment also takes you back in time to see all the fun paraphernalia back in the past. While the ice cream isn't homemade, I think this shop offers a good opportunity to just come and relax and enjoy your time with some cool desserts. You can get to try many flavors in a single order (get upto 3 flavors and a free topping in a cup!) The staff was polite and let me take my sweet time to decide on what I wanted. The serving portion was generous as well. This place was popular! I came in around 7pm and there were 10+ people coming in and out! Very nice and relaxing and just a cool environment to enjoy desserts! I would love to stop by again and love that we have this unique ice cream shop here in this university area!”
“Great variety, awesome flavor and most of all I an choose how sweet and how much ice I want .Vegetarian options: Several obtains for vegetarianDietary restrictions: Because you can choose your ingredients, it makes it easier to accommodate anybody especially dietary needs.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly atmosphere. Great customer service”

“It's a nice place and great drinks, but I don't think the food is worth the price. The staff is very friendly and attentive, but the drinks are worth more than the food.”
“Let me just say how much I LOVE the Carne Asada Tacos ? here at Dogos V.I.P. .... ? ♥ The meat ? is fresh & quality stuff. Full of flavor and just the most delicious, yet delightful, crispy corn tortillas dipped in Birria Consome. I'm sure you can imagine how good it tasted. We will ALWAYS Recommend Dogos V.I.P. to all of our friend's & family and continue to be repeat customers getting the Carne Asada tacos whenever possible ? ?. It's THAT good ?? The service is 5 Stars too . All the young ladies give 5 Star ? service & The Manager is easygoing & laid back. Very friendly and professional. ??. Takes care of you. ? ?10 out of 10 RECOMMEND.

“In-N-Out for the vegan. This food is delicious. We ordered burgers, hot dogs, fries and a shake.The burgers are very similar to In-N-Out. They were delicious! The wyld styleFries were like the animal style fries.The hot dogs are different but delicious!And the shake, the shake was delicious!You wouldn’t know this food was veganIf they didn’t advertise it.”
“Thank you for the assistant manager Matthew for being polite and the great crew that he had and for the great atmosphere with the rest of the employees Obed Cecy Letty you guys are the best thank you”
“This was my second time here. I wish I lived closer, I'd visit more often, it is really great! A gem in our city. Today we got two kinds of pierogis (potato/farmer cheese and mushroom/sauerkraut) with onions, which were delicious! The cabbage rolls were also amazing! We also ordered chicken pelmeni and Ukrainian borscht (so flavorful!). The rolls and borscht each came with some yummy warm bread. Everything was so delicious! Savory comfort food that you won't find in many other places around here. We also purchased some treats, jams, and beverages from the little grocery area. Everyone is very friendly. Highly recommend!”
“We love the variety of food options at Sawmill and the atmosphere is fun, plus the building is stunning. They do events in the yard on most nights during the summer so it is a fun place to grab a bite, a drink and hang out. I love that there are several gluten free options. And the Sandia Watermelon Cider is a MUST TRY.Editing to say we still love sawmill, the restaurants, the main bar, and atmosphere are wonderful!!Dietary restrictions: Tons of gluten free optionsParking: Plenty of free parking lots around sawmill”
“Wow, the food was amazing! We were just driving through town and searched places to eat. I’m happy we came here! Everything was amazing from service, atmosphere and food. ??”
“Set in Old Town plaza, you’ll find a rustic and intimate restaurant with incredible flavors and southwestern decor. The service was incredible, the food was delicious. Prices typical of the area but still reasonable. Would go back for the tenderloin alone. Pics include the tequila flight picked by bartender, tenderloin, and ribeye.”

“Great stop for lunch on a weekday off work! It wasn't too crowded and all staff were very welcoming and friendly. The market table was excellent for vegetarian options. Vegan options were also clearly labeled. The "full churrasco experience" was a great way to sample options for meat eaters.”

“The Range has been a New Mexican favorite of mine since 2007. The flavors and quality of the food can not miss. Of that I can guarantee. This time around, we ate at the downtown location.It has the same funky vibe in the atmosphere that all The Range's restaurants have. Like a warehouse of random knickknacks that also has some of the best food that New Mexico has to offer.The authentic southwestern style plates screams flavor, style, and panache. Try the chilaquiles, the burritos, the papas con carne, or whatever your heart desires.You absolutely must try their desserts! Not only are they to die for, but they'll bring you back to life at the same time. They're that good. The death by lemon cake is phenomenal. Chocolate roadhouse cake is a must. Oh, and the Mexican latte cake is a thing of beauty. Go to the Range and dive into a world of fantastic flavors.”
“Outstanding! Traveling through town and stopped in for dinner. Authentic high quality food with great small local restaurant vibe. Finish with the baklava, you won’t regret it!”
“The food was good and there was a wide variety of different dishes available at the buffet. Great value! Also special price for kid using the buffet.Kid-friendliness: Special price for kids and lots of non-spicy choices.”
“This is fast becoming my favorite hangout! The food is amazing, you can borrow and play games or bring your own to play, and the staff is super friendly! It's like hanging out at a friend's house with lots of like-minded people. ?”

“We eat breakfast here on a busy Saturday morning after walking out of Millys for no service. The food was fantastic as well as the server. We told her about our experience at Milly's and she was apologetic for something not in her control. She made up with a great attitude and service. More important was the smile on her face.We had breakfast enchiladas. They were so yummy!”

“Waffle House by the airport is pretty consistent. The food is pretty consistently the same, good. The service at this location typically is good. Like all waffle houses, it's an older location.Parking: Pull in, enjoy your show, and your food.”
“One of the better Denny's in Albuquerque. Food was a little fresher, location was well kept and very clean. The server was awesome to our group. Always kept our coffee full while doing consistent check-ins without being overbearing.”
“Delicious authentic Mexican food!!! This is not a fast food restaurant but it's soooooo worth the wait!!!! The tacos are my favorite but the combo plates are a very close second!!!”
“We had With Love Waffles come to our Airbnb the morning after our wedding for a little breakfast treat for our guests. They were AMAZING!! The waffles were so good and the staff was so nice. I would definitely recommend them for any events you might have!”
“They were busy but acknowledged my presence and got to me quickly. Great service at the register, you can tell the employees are trained well. Food was good,fresh.”
“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!”
“I have to say We had good food tastey fast delicious. Way better than the food at Cracker barrel. Our waiter was helpful and courteous. My hashbrowns were fresh and good. Bacon was perfect. Will return.”
“Ok, there is really nothing bad to say about this place. It's the crazy prices that got me. I just can't see myself spending $13 for one person. The pattymelt meal was awesome, just too pricey.”
“Everything was great from their food, to their amazing servers like Aimee who was really sweet, loving and caring getting us what we needed. She made us feel like at home. Thanks Aimee! we will be coming here more often.”
“I was a first time customer of this chain tonight. Not only did every person we dealt with at the restaurant have awesome customer service, but the young man behind the counter even paid for the tacos for the gentleman in front of us who ended up being short cash. In a day where it is rare to find people who will take your order, versus a computer, it is such a pleasure to find people who not only are behind that counter but also treat everyone with so much respect and enjoy their job. Will be back!”
“We come here weekly after karaoke, whether or not we go to karaoke. The chef gets my eggs-over-medium perfect everytime, and the French toast is to die for. Heatheranne is always smiling and such a pleasure to be around.”
“Me and my fiance always come here when we want Denny's, and the customer service is always so outstanding! They're so nice and have great conversations with you and don't treat you like just some other "customer". The food is always great too and perfectly cooked!??”
“Love this del taco. Ordered $9 of items, received ~$30 of food when they gave me the wrong order and I decided I didn’t care. Every item is a mysterious surprise, like surprise party of burritos, quesadillas, and fries. Didn’t know people ordered fries at del taco ?Ate a couple items before photo”
“Decent Whataburger. Food was well prepared and fast. Store was a little worn out, but they were clearly busy. Front of house suffered from staff constantly being pulled to drive through.Still, if you need what they have, no qualms stopping in based on a single visit.”
“We had the scallops and they were awesome, Lampchops were flavorful sweet potatoes and spinach were also great! My boyfriends Filet minion needed more flavor. At the end they gave him(for his bday) a nice bunt cake that had nuts pineapple and coconut topped with whip and a lemon gell for free. The drinks are strong I recommend the bees-knees with egg whites. All in all a great night wonderful atmosphere and wonderfull service (thank u michael) we will be back! Cheddar risotto was fantastic 2! Plenty of diabetic friendly options!”
“Been here many times and have never had a bad meal or bad experience. My go to place for seafood. On the pricey side worth it . The service is always very good as well .”
“Really an excellent distributor of European specialty foods. Very friendly staff, helpful and even offered me any food I may need after my delivery there. Great place.”
Takeout Restaurants
“WOW!!! This place is amazing!!! My husband is what I call a “food snob”, and he absolutely loved this place!! He got the Chicken Breast Mole and he said, “Wow! It’s like I’m eating this in someone’s kitchen”. Meaning, It’s authentic, flavorful and oh so DELICIOUS!!!! I ordered the Pizzabirirria and it was INCREDIBLE!! Such a large portion, so filling and the dipping broth that comes with is divine! You can easily share a pizzabirirria between two people. I had to take half of it with me.We were just passing through on our way to Texas and my husband wanted authentic Mexican food and so I turned to Google. After reading so many 5 star review for this restaurant, we decided to give it a try. And this place did not disappoint!!! We are so glad we stopped here! The waiter was very very friendly, the food came out pretty quickly and the horchata was delicious. It tasted like honey milk. You can tell it is a favorite place of the locals because there was a huge line for take out, along with a full restaurant. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for authentic and delicious Mexican food!”
“The blue cheese appetizer dip was amazing all of the dips that you get with the fish, which is also an appetizer is absolutely great. They are jampacked, but the waitress acted like she was the happy person that she was not running around like she was crazy we tried it on a less busy day, but they were still busy. This is really good place to go.”
“I've had great experiences at Pink Pony. The soft serve is delicious, with unique and creative combos. The owner is extremely friendly and attentive. It's just a great little place to stop in for a quick fix.”
“I really enjoy this coffee shop, all my drinks have been good. They have a nice selection of pastries and food, great vegan options.My only complaint is that there is a very strong air freshener or room fragrance odor. It is very overwhelming to me, and I’m not usually sensitive to perfumes or scents. My go to drink is an americano and while the drink is very good there is a hint of the fragrance in the after taste so it’s not as enjoyable as it has been before. This isn’t the first time the scent in the shop has been strong but this is the first time I’ve noticed it in my drink.Everything else about this place is great, plenty of space to meet up with friends or get some work done.”
“I have nothing bad to say about Papa Frank's. Their food while affordable is the best in ABQ and the service and hospitality they provide is unmatched. I have returned time and again to find excellent cooking and wonderful people. Papa Frank's is a very homely establishment that deserves your business!Wheelchair accessibility: Papa Frank's is wheelchair accessible through a ramp.”
“The location was a little hidden but once we found the coffee shop we were very pleased by the prompt and friendly staff that were enjoyable and pleasant. The Dirty Chai was very delicious but the breakfast burrito left something to be desired. I think they should put cheese in the burrito and serve with salsa. Would come back. Super enjoyable space.”
“I tried Vic's and absolutely loved it pre-covid19. I wasn't sure if it was going to live up to the previous experience, but I was absolutely blown away with how wonderful it was!The wait was about 45 minutes for our group of 8. The food was absolutely delicious! Not a crumb was left on our plates!”
“A classic for a reason! You don't stick around this long if you aren't doing something right. And they do everything right, the food and staff are always excellent. Me and my family have been coming here longer than I can remember and I have never had a bad experience. Everything is good so pick something and enjoy, I personally enjoy there stuffed sopaipilla with extra cheese, the steak fingers and enchiladas.”
“Been coming here since around 2020. Great cozy spot to work on things, read a book, or hang out with a coffee in hand. Matt, Josh, Steve and everyone else that works there I've met are all very friendly and kind people. They have a humble and service oriented attitude shown through how they carry themselves and their actions. I believe they have been able to create a great community space centered around coffee where everyone feels welcome. Coffee is among the best in the city. When they switched from their old provider into roasting their own coffee (I think a year or more back) their coffee was just as great.”
“I visited Heidi's for the first time this afternoon due to a Yelp event. We got a flight (four mini scoops of various flavors which is great for folks that can't decide which flavor to get) with fresh waffle cone pieces sprinkled on top. All four flavors were delicious: the strawberry mint sorbet was crazy-fresh and light, the strawberry ice cream was tangy and creamy, the chocolate ice cream was deep and sweet and the adobe chocolate (chocolate with red chile marshmallows) was unique and indisputably New Mexican. This is couture ice cream! The waffle cone pieces were buttery and crunchy, the perfect complement. I also picked up a chocolate covered chocolate bar, a pint of cranberry strawberry sorbet and two containers of jam. I can't speak to the tastiness of these items, but it's good to know you can pick up some items to share with folks at home. I'm stoked to find a local jam dealer, and can't wait to crack open a jar (I got strawberry and blueberry). The lady behind the counter was very helpful, offering multiple tasters and even apologizing for the lack of take home accessories for the flight (they wrapped it all in Saran Wrap and it made it home in perfect condition). There's a gracious oversized porch for lingering with friends, and the entire property is smartly surrounded by an industrial black metal fence, bringing an upscale, country feel to an otherwise industrial block. We will definitely return for more. Thank you so much for some delicious fresh ice cream on a Sunday afternoon.”
“Amazing food and unique menu. Seating both inside and outside. Service was outstandingDietary restrictions: Completely vegan, other dietary restrictions are respected and easily identifiable.”
“Decided to check this place out after seeing reviews and wow- very accurate! We were sat quickly, food arrived quickly, and the food was delicious! We tried the pozole, nachos, and tacos.”
“This place is freeking AMAZING, robot server brings your first round of drinks,and sings you Happy Birthday, size of the pots are ???...Boba is ??..our server azariah was Awesome great service..???will be back!!”
“Get in your car and drive directly to Kosmos. Do not stop, do not pass go until you get there. Had one of the best burgers I have ever had so I had to return to also experience the best fish & chips in Abq. That wasn't enough. Went back for the steak, followed by the great butternut squash salad. Everything on the menu is exceptional. The wait staff are the best in the city. Cool vibe in the place.”
“They have the best pastrami sub, omg. Love the homemade soups. I've tried 3, and all of them were great. The Rubin was so big, I only ate half. Overall YUM ?”
“Great food, great service, totally HAWTT staff!!! We were there today and Veronica was just amazing!! Honestly, I can't wait to go back! Between the service ladies like Veronica and Makayla provides, and the great food, it's no wonder this is one of my favorite places! ?????️”
“Had the chicken and waffles and some wings. Food was super delicious and and chicken was juicy. A girl named Natasha was our waitress and the service was fantastic, very attentative and friendly! Can't wait to go back.”
“The tea was delicious. I got an orange peach tea with strawberry Boba. There was fresh orange in the tea which was refreshing. Atmosphere is nice and decor is cute. I met a friend here and we stayed for 2 hours just chatting and drinking our tea. I will be a repeat customer.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“We have been here numerous times. The only thing we get is the Barbacoa burrito. Then go the the salsa bar to get cabbage onion etc for the burrito. This is the best in town run don't walk to this place.”
“Amazing experience, me & my brother took our Mom here. She enjoyed the entire tea & food. Staff was helpful and the food was delicious! Would go again & would highly recommend it to anyone who likes ”
“I was very excited to try their burritos, but it was meh. The scrambled egg inside was nice and juicy, and then completely ruined by dry potato fries (tasting like yesterday’s leftovers) and rubbery turkey sausage. The green chile was more like a gravy, didn’t give the fresh spicy zing I was looking for. All in all, very underwhelming. I’ve had a much better burrito in a hotel breakfast 3 days ago”
“Food is soooo good! The biggest breakfast burritos I have seen! My daughter had the sweet waffle. It looked amazing too. Will have to make this a regular place to visit.”
“Family run business that is warm and inviting. Oh and the food's pretty damn good too. Attentive and friendly wait staff. Will definitely be going back again.”
“Next time someone from out of town wants some good food. They will be sent here! It may be a whole in the wall BUT... they food is amazing! The staff are super friendly and make you feel like family. Almost felt like i was eating at my aunties house...Fresh tortillas made in house and for sale.. Definitely a first pick for some great food and recommendations.. This place deserves the the recognition that el pinto has but this place has way better food...I got the breaking bad burger and it's definitely bigger than I thought!! Damn delicious tho..”
“As always, the food was awesome friendly staff. And welcoming atmosphere. Have never had a bad experience at Vic's.Kid-friendliness: My son always gets the pancakes and bacon plates.”
“I happened to be driving through New Mexico last year and found this establishment online, it had great reviews and decided to Introduce my son to authentic Barbacoa tacos… let’s just say he wasn’t disappointed and neither was I, the staff was friendly, the service was fast and the Barbacoa was out of this world ! I would drive from Texas just to have their tacos… please give them a try, you won’t regret it…”
“Finally a good coffee place with a drive thru. When you have a newborn it sucks lugging the car seat around and also wanting to try new coffee places. Went through the drive thru and the worker was so patient answering the questions I had about the different drinks. I settled on the iced honey bee latte and it was awesome.”
“Looking through Yelp for a new place to try for lunch that was still close enough to where we work so we could make it back and I stumbled across this gem! It had great reviews, the food looked yummy and it's locally owned so we gave it a try and are we glad we did! As you can see from the pics the portions are huge and the chip and salsa(s) are included with your meal (for dine in anyway)...they have a red and green salsa and the red was our favorite with the chips, the guacamole was so yummy and the refried beans were warm, very tasty! The chimichanga was so good, lots of meat and fried to perfection The burrito was good too, hubby preferred it with the green salsa. The service was fast, in and out in less than 45 mins and sat for a few after our meal. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back!!”
“This place is simply the best. The takeout always has something wrong, but when you eat in, that's where they really shine. Got the food really fast but superb fresh and really good. The prices are good too. Stuffed sopopillia is my recommendation.”
“Really good service. But they switched my meal for a different meal by accident. I'm guessing sorry that wasn't kind of pleasant but the food was good. I ordered a taco pack And instead of getting a taco pack. All I got was 2 tacos and a thing of beans. Not what I paid for but was delicious”
“Please give Michael a raise, he was so kind and considerate when we picked up our pizza Sunday. We got there around 8 p.m., and Michael came out and said that it was done, but they didn’t want to give us a slightly burnt pizza, so they remade it for us free of charge. He kept coming out and asking if we were okay. Overall, amazing experience, delicious pizza, and excellent staff. Thank you!”
“Family atmosphere, food is fantastic, large variety, not only pizza, but great tasting pizza, costumer service is one of the best I have come across. I would recommend it to everyone!!!”
“I really enjoy CJ's food. Every time I go there everyone is very pleasant and very welcoming.I would encourage you to eat there the next time you have a sudden craving for an excellent burger!??”
“We stumbled across this tasty establishment by mistake & decided to give them a shot....Sooo glad we did!!! There is no doubt my mind that they have the best "Bird" in NM & the best onion rings I had in my entire life!”
“Great food. We took our son and his friends who are going to UNM. Two of us got pizza and two gort pasta and lasagna. I got a tasty Irish red ale. The food was great. The service was great. If a server saw we were low on drinks or whatever, they'd get it, any of them.”
“Nice unassuming spot that if you didn’t know it was there, you might miss it. Beer was good, atmosphere great. Of note, their brews contain less gluten which causes some of the beers to be less robust in flavor/juiciness/hoppiness than you might find in breweries that don’t follow the same practice. Think unleaded vs premium gasoline lol…not the best analogy. I am not a huge beer drinker but when I do, I tend to like potent sours that make your jaw hurt and that was not the case here. Still, I’d go back for the cool vibes and cool people.”
Fine Dining
“We had the scallops and they were awesome, Lampchops were flavorful sweet potatoes and spinach were also great! My boyfriends Filet minion needed more flavor. At the end they gave him(for his bday) a nice bunt cake that had nuts pineapple and coconut topped with whip and a lemon gell for free. The drinks are strong I recommend the bees-knees with egg whites. All in all a great night wonderful atmosphere and wonderfull service (thank u michael) we will be back! Cheddar risotto was fantastic 2! Plenty of diabetic friendly options!”
“We went for our 13th Anniversary. We had the same waiter from last year. One of the best nights ever. Thank you for making my night special.Kid-friendliness: My daughter came with us and she also had a great experience. Thank you!”
“This restaurant is a gem! From start (Savanna Salad) to entree (Lobster Ravioli and Scallops) to dessert (Bananas Foster prepared in front of you), you will not be disappointed. The waitstaff is attentive and courteous. It is a wonderful dining experience!”
“What a clean, well thought out coffee house. They roast beanson site. The light roast is what i had, it was a great choice. They have alternatives to milk. Macademia, oat and soy milk. My son had the espresso it was also delicious.. Lookedlikean eclectic crowd of University students and business folks.. I highly recomend.”
“Very enjoyable dining experience. Friendly, efficient staff. Very good food. Very good drinks. Allowed to linger and talk without feeling pressured to leave. I enjoy that the restaurant is in an old service station. It has a lot of atmosphere. Very good place to go before or after the concert at Popejoy Hall. Parking could be better. I had to walk a block and a half to the restaurant.”
“We tried this restaurant for the first time today. I got the chicken hibachi and an avocado roll, and my partner got the combination udon and an egg roll. We thought the food was delicious and reasonably priced. Service was friendly and atmosphere was also excellent.”
Cheap Eats
“Such a fantastic and authentic ice cream parlor! Great atmosphere, tasty selections and authentic people. Great place for kiddos and kiddos at heart. Definitely will be going back!”
“Excellent vegan options! Don't love a plant milk upcharge (in response to the owner's response, it's definitely the standard across cafes, and I get it!), but their prices are SO reasonable and they have so many baked goods and food options I haven't seen elsewhere!Vegetarian options: Vegan: pastries, kolaches, cream cheese, cheese, milks”
“Very unique coffee spot, with a very cool location - right inside a flea market! There's a small section with seating, but I think it's probably better to walk around and look at all the treasures!”
“This is a cool concept! Games, food, beer, coffee and store. We need more places like this where you can go for a fun date night, take your kids out to have some board game fun or hangout with friends. The food is delicious! Not pictured were the cauliflower pizza and a their regular pizza. They have a great variety of pizza toppings and if you're gluten free, the cauliflower pizza crust is really tasty and crispy. The dice rolls were super good; they were delightful cheesy pillows. Last but certainly not least were the churro doughnuts...they were one of the best doughnuts I've ever had!”
“Absolutely amazing I travel all around the world in this wonderful gem in Albuquerque is amazing. Their salt and pepper shrimp is really amazing their chicken fried rice they’re curry chicken The shrimp spring rolls, the service everything is on point I have never had a bad meal here always delicious and tasty. Highly recommend every bit of food I ever ordered here is always a 10 out of 10 5 Star Place in my book.”
“My first time I enjoyed it so much that I brought my husband tonight and he loved it so much that we are giving it five ⭐'s all the way around. Thank you. It's so hard to find a place with delicious, tasty food and amazing service nowadays. Keep doing what you're doing.”
“I’m visiting New Mexico and this has easily become my favorite Boba place! They have great fruit smoothies, and a combo meal that is the best deal I’ve found out here with a sandwich or breakfast item + boba drink! Also they have strong WiFi and a nice space for work and meetings (there’s a nice private area in case you need to get on a zoom meeting). Travelers to Albuquerque, this is a great destination for you to do some work and get boba!”
“It's different if you don't like to eat the same things. Tho the menu needs some tweaking for that location to get more business. And make some business cards with a lunch special on it and pass out to help get some word of mouth going. It's a good location and the food is good quality. Just needs a woman's touch maybe because it's a mans menu .I can say the soft homemade breads is a nice touch. Even my husband noticed his tortilla was fresh.”
“I got the Bistec Rancheros. The beef has amazing flavor and goes so well with the eggs and potatoes. SO GOOD! A nice little place, with amazing food. The portion size is also large. I could not finish it in one sitting. The salsa and chips. Also very good. The chips also come with a cheese sauce. I got the horchata to drink. Very good. I am not a big horchata fan, but I will drink it again next time I come. Not too sweet.”
“I have seen some really good reviews about this new place and decided to give it a try for ourselves. We ordered the Taco Burgers and also had the chips and salsas. The Taco Burgers were a good portion size and did fill us up. They came with a fresh roasted green chile and that was a nice bonus. The 2 salsas were both very good but the green salsa was the best. It had some spice! The staff was super friendly and very attentive. We did not have to ask for refills, as they kept our glasses full. We did not have to wait for a table and were seated immediately. The dining area was a good size and had plenty of tables. Overall this place was very flavorful and we will definitely return. I absolutely recommend you give it a try!”
“Not your typical cafe. I love coming here, whether it’s before a shift at the hospital, after a long shift, or just for fun on the weekends. CJ and Kevin have especially been welcoming, and I love meeting all the baristas! I’ve come here for drag shows, studying, or catching up with friends. You can literally spend all day here and it’s the best atmosphere. I’ve also gotten my first art piece from Allison Hunt with Mica next door, who has a studio that you can check out while sipping on a drink :) . I highly highly recommend checking them out!”
“We came here for lunch and it was amazing! Very clean and the staff are super friendly. We got to speak with the owner and she is very kind and knowledgeable. The food was so delicious. I ate my beef bulgogio sandwich so fast that I forgot to take a picture, but trust me when I say it looked amazing too. Definitely stop and eat here if you have the chance!”
“Frontier is beloved by locals and frequented by tourists as well as college students. Great location right across the street from UNM. The vibes and eclectic decor are top notch. There isn’t any shortage of seating or space inside. However, if you know good New Mexican food the fare might leave you feeling unsatisfied. A bit bland and the chile isn’t very spicy. The food is decent but certainly nothing special. I’ve had many breakfast burritos, lunch burritos, huevos rancheros and the like from here. On my most recent visit I decided to try something of a different sort. The grilled cheese sounded interesting plus I ordered a side of fries. The fries were nice and crispy, very good flavor. The grilled cheese was again just OK. It got soggy on one side from the tomatoes I believe. Definitely nothing that I couldn’t just make at home. I’m a student, and I live one block from frontier. I’ll continue to walk over from time to time to enjoy a decent bite and the vibes at this local representation of our city. Don’t be discouraged from visiting here just keep your expectations realistic”
“Great place! The beer is good and every single person who works there (especially Philly!) is a sweetheart and a professional. If you’re in Albuquerque and haven’t been to Tractor, you should probably go.”
“Cutbow is the best coffee shop in Albuquerque, I can never get enough of it. Paul, the owner, is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met, and never fails to greet anyone who comes in to the shop. I’ve been going to cutbow for over a year, and every time I am satisfied. Their coffee is delicious and the staff is knowledgeable about every item on the menu whenever I have questions. I will never stop going to cutbow!”
“Life of Utter Gravity We stopped into this quaint brewery and tasting room to sample some of their suds, and we were blown away. A relatively young brewery, as Gravity Bound Brewing has been in business for less than five years but has quickly put the New Mexico brewing scene on watch with their stellar beers and their Quick Take IPA winning an award at the '22 NM Brewers Guild IPA Challenge. It's truly worthy of the award, as it might be one of the best Hazy IPAs I've ever tried with a smooth grapefruity finish with bold, hoppy flavor. The service here is also phenomenal, as they're all too happy to pour you sample shots to help you make a decision on what to imbibe in. No food but a welcoming, fun ambiance that you're more than welcome to bring your own food from home or wherever you choose. I believe they do have food trucks pulling up at certain days, but check the schedule as there was none during our visit. Dog-friemdly covered outdoor seating and street parking only rounds out what you'll need to know about visiting Gravity Bound.”
“I originally came here with a group and it was so good, I had to come back. Definitely get the Restoration Salad. One of one the best salads I've had in a long time. Can't wait to come back when I'm in town.”
“You ever go in to restaurant expecting to just eat and leave, but end up laughing yourself to death because you vibe so well with the employees? That was our experience on 03/04 and Zu Hot Pot became the pinnacle highlight of our trip to Abq. Usually the highlight of a trip to Abq is not getting shot or robbed and this place far surpassed the usual expectations.The food was great, the hot pot was a new welcome experience much akin to a mongolian grill theme but different all on its own. The best part though was our waiter Tomas pronounced toe-moss I believe. Personally I would have gone with Tom-is but I digress and believe this young person should identify to whatever pronunciation Tomas prefers.Tomas came over and greeted us with an attitude befitting his age(16) and someone who works(possibly unwillingly) for the family business. Once I caught wind of the vibe and energy Tomas was presenting, we were quickly able to relate and joke through the rest of the night. The dry humor, subtle sarcasm, and slightly laxadasical attitude could turn some people off but for us it opened a door to a hilarious night of jokes, jabs, and laughter. We really enjoyed the night and have tons of jokes and laughs and overall great memories. I will be back to this place anytime I have the misfortune of ending up in Abq and look forward to more hilarious experiences and sneaking french fries into the hot pot.”
“We are in from out of town and Bow & Arrow came highly recommended. The beer selection, including the N/A options were outstanding. I was able to try the New England IPA, and the Baltic porter and I am a fan. The service was really kind and helpful. Not only was I thrilled that this is an Indigenous, woman owned business, but I was excited to see what a melting pot of people fill the tables. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in town next wearing our Bow & Arrow merch!”
“We arrived around noon, since opening time was at 11:00. It's a family-friendly atmosphere, with corn hole games, free face painting, and live music, and a DJ. We tried the Yakisoba at Mobiyaki, which was great! Sadly, we wanted to try out another truck, but a couple weren't open and one took our order, but thirty minutes later, we asked for a refund since our food wasn't ready. At that point we went home. We'll try again in a few weeks and give them time to iron out the kinks.”
“Perfect setting for a celebratory dinner. Excellent customer service from both our server and the executive chef who went out of his way to make our son feel special.”
“One of the better hibachi places I've been to here in albuquerque and our server was absolutely amazing! Great food for a decent price and awesome entertainment! 10/10”
“"The location is great, the food is amazing, and the customer service is fantastic. Additionally, they serve generous portions of fresh food made to order. I highly recommend the egg rolls - they were especially delicious."”
“Cameron is so nice .my husband's electric bike needed a new tube and Cameron put a new tube quickly .He was so patient and understanding waited 20 extra minutes for us to pick up our bike after work .thank you caneron”
“You’ve been to one you’ve been to them all. Consistently excellent regardless of the market. Food was delicious and cooked to perfection. Service at the bar was quick. It’s Texas Roadhouse.”
“You MUST visit Ben Michaels Restaurant near Old Town in Albuquerque!!! I cannot tell you how wonderful and authentic this place is. It is an experience, not just a meal! Ben Michael is truly a Renaissance Man and it shows in all that he does!We first went in December of 2023 and were completely WOWED by the ambience, aura and food! He is a master in the kitchen, garden, at the piano and in the realm of storytelling! He made us feel like we were the only people in the world and we had known each other for decades! I am not a foodie in any way, but this chef and his art of cooking made me truly appreciate the world of flavors and phenomenal food! The art and photos on the wall tell the story of a wonderful life and strong connection to family.We then had a private party there for my sister's 60th birthday and once again, Ben Michael made sure we had a wonderful time. He was so personable and attentive all evening while mingling with us and getting to know us better. He is an exceptional listener. Towards the end of the evening he sat down at his beautiful piano and sang a PERSONALIZED Birthday song for my sister!!! He took in all the great details and made her a song!!!! It was amazing!!!!As you can see by now, I cannot say enough great things about Ben Michael's!!! I would be typing for days. Please treat yourself to an evening there and you too will fall in love with this exceptional restaurant.”

“We visited Boxing Bear our first night in town and we loved the location. VERY dog friendly, great beer and several restaurants in the same strip center so lots of food variety. I could see this as a very regular hangout for locations with all those positives. We will visit again when we are back in town.”
“Food was delishous, waiters tho kept moving around the heaters, drinks were delishous, but didn't get asked if we wanted a second. Waiters changed 1/2 way thru ordering, loss of communication. That being said the food was so good I will go back. Maybe just order a bottle instead of waiting.”
“Patacones were fresh, the arepas were yummy and cheesy and the ajiaco was delicious. They have great vegetarian options !! Their empanadas were crispy and flavorful. Unfortunately, we devoured everything and didn't get a chance to take ”
“This Albuquerque favorite is never disappointing. The food is superb, can't be beat for consistent presentation, quality, taste and flavor. Although the wine list is not extensive, the choices are very satisfactory. The atmosphere is Old Town rustic, expect no upgrades, especially in the restrooms.”
“I had a fantastic experience at Sakura Sushi! The restaurant is impeccably clean, which immediately set a positive tone for my visit. The service was remarkably quick, ensuring that I didn't have to wait long for my meal. What truly stood out, though, was the consistently high quality of the food. Each dish I tried was delicious and expertly prepared, making for a truly enjoyable dining experience. I highly recommend Sakura Sushi to anyone looking for excellent sushi and impeccable service.”
“This restaurant came highly recommended when we were visiting ABQ, and we were not disappointed! Food, ambience, and service were all outstanding. When we arrived, we were given a choice of where to sit: in the lively, hopping bar area or in the quiet, white-tablecloth-yet-not-stuffy restaurant area. We opted for the latter. Both areas have eye-catching art on the walls. We had questions about the wine selection (super reasonable prices!) and followed our very knowledgeable server's recommendation. It was perfect. And then the food came: little flavor bombs with eye-pleasing presentation! Between the two of us, we ordered six tapas. It was plenty. There are more substantial plates available that looked fantastic, but we went for variety. Every piece was a marvelous culinary adventure. Both our server and the owner came to the table repeatedly to check whether we were happy. We were. And we will be back during our next visit!”
“Glad Zinc is back open finally, and many others are too. We hope they expand the hours in the Cellar Bar to more normal bar/lounge hours and bring back live music.”

“Great beer as always, i always get the milk stout. Good atmosphere, never too busy the staff is great, friendly, and very helpful. I always hear them talking to new customers about their beer. No longer in abq, but when i am, i always stop in for a pint.”
“Went there today for the 1st time, after having had a take-out meal my adult kid brought home, it was barely warm but was great! ??(Chimichanga w/carne asada)So, I stopped in w/my mom & got take out and the food is amazing! Chimichanga, w/shredded beef - wow!The lady working was so nice & explained what I didn't understand on the menu. My mom really liked it too!Will definitely be going back! Can hardly wait to try to fried ice cream ?”
“This is my favorite restaurant in Albuquerque. Great food and better priced than other high quality restaurants in Albuquerque. All the staff has always been great and are mostly all tenured.”
“Amazing food and service with Alex! The steak, salmon, creme brûlée and cocktails/wines were all amazing! By far our favorite meal of our vacation through New Mexico!”
“I had the 6 oz Renegade sirloin steak, and it was burnt on the outside and was very chewy. It was gross ? ?‼️my baked sweet potato was delicious and bigger than my steak, and my salad ? was ok except it had too much of that arugula leaves, which I didn't like ??yuk‼️”
“Delicious food, beautiful and inviting atmosphere AND kind staff!! What more could I ask for ? Wonderful place with gluten free options and the staff is well knowledgeable too, which made me feel safe as a celiac, and the price was good too! I'm definitely coming here more often!!”
“Recommend!! Staff is very friendly and helpful; told them it was my first time visiting and they promptly gave me details on their top dishes. Got the Spicy Bowl and was skeptical with the tortilla chips going in the mix, but wow it really does compliment the rest of the ingredients. I'm over here eating tortilla chips with rice and guacamole on them with chopsticks and not worried about a thing. Will return!!”
“2024.02.19Although I didn’t take any photos to prove itBut I have to praise this restaurant for its excellent menu??Every figure and actual product pictureMake it easier for non-native speakers to understandAnd actually the photo of the dish matches the picture quite well?Thai milk tea with ice $4.5Forgot how much it normally costsBut when ordering, it was said that ice cream was required and was specifically informed that it was $4.5.Recommend a little spicy to enhance the flavorMedium spicy may be too spicy for some people”
“Large portions, great food, local business. We haven't had a bad meal yet. It isn't far from our home so we stop by for dinner often. The place is more for takeaway than dining in but definitely worth it.”
“Birdie does an absolutely amazing job! Not only are her cakes delicious, she works with you to create custom cakes. We’ve ordered multiple times for birthday cakes and have loved every single one of them! Great prices too :)”
“A friend of mine took me to this gem. We sat at a table in the bar area and shared the encrusted brie, mussels, goat cheese crostini, and pizza logs. Everything was phenomenally delicious and beautifully prepared. I wish I had taken photos. Our waiter took great care of us and the owners were very friendly and accommodating. The space is cozy and intimate. I highly recommend for date night or a lovely meal with friends. Cannot wait to return!”
“Fabulous place to eat! The spicy ramen was so flavorful, only thing to make it better would be marinated eggs, would still order again. The avocado bomb was so good that I might go back and just eat that! The crepe cake desert was good and different, would probably go for mochi next time. Can't wait to check out the west side location!”
“Everything we had here was very good. Stop by and check them out, they have good sushi ? and I really enjoyed my orange chicken, the fry they had on it was perfect ?????Parking: I had a trailer with me and still found parking.Kid-friendliness: Yes they are kid friendly, also have high chairs if needed.”
“Wonderful, gourmet food. Excellent service, relaxed atmosphere. All our dishes were fresh and tasty. It was a pleasant change dining in a relatively quiet atmosphere where conversation is easily possible.Vegetarian options: There is one vegan main dish and a few salads and appetizers.”
“We went for our 13th Anniversary. We had the same waiter from last year. One of the best nights ever. Thank you for making my night special.Kid-friendliness: My daughter came with us and she also had a great experience. Thank you!”
“I got the caldo de res and it was fantastic! Delicious bite size chunks of tender beef, in a clear broth with potatoes, carrots, corn on the cob, and cabbage. While I waited for the kitchen staff to box up the soup to go, they encouraged me to help my self to self serve chips (crispy and fresh) and the salsa bar. My favorite salsas were the guacamole salsa and the tomatillo salsa. The pico de Gallo, salsa rojo, and pickled veggies were all too sweet for my taste. Each salsa brought some heat which I also appreciated. UNM Students and Staff get a 10% discount! Will definitely be going back with friends.”
“Triple D nailed it! Great local "dive" spot, amazing food, wonderful staff and fun. Prime rib, fried zucchini and mushrooms as well as the dinner salad, pure comfort and delicious!Dietary restrictions: Allergy to onions and totally accommodating! Chefs were awesome!”
“Great location for a meeting. Separate meeting room with excellent AV setup. The food is beyond excellent (especially collard greens) and the beers pair wonderfully.”
“First time in but it most definitely won't be my last. Great selection, great service, and great pricing. Plus, it's conveniently located so a quick stop on the way into work, school, or the gym!”
“I love this place! We sub veggie dogs and it’s always delicious. Service is super friendly and attentive. They also participate in an awards program which is cool! Definitely check this place out.Vegetarian options: All dogs can be subbed veggie”
“Straight solid IPAs. All the beer/ Meads we got were good. They no longer have food in house, but the food truck on their patio was also really good. The guys in it were totally trying to go gormet. I'll definitely recommend.”
“Had a lovely dinner with friends. We ended up with more people than expected but they happily accommodated us. The food, the atmosphere, the staff, and the drinks all were lovely. Look forward to coming back!”
“Great calmari coupled with bottomless salad bowl, attentive servers too! New changes are subtle and just enough. Still very comfortable. Glad they have re- opened.”
“Service was good, food was good, coffee was good. Only small detail, the menu was a little confusing (the floating boxes refer to different plates, it is not clear to which they refer to).”

“Just did a big hike in the desert sun? Check out some thousand year old pueblos, or toured downtown ABQ, and looking for a great one stop shop?Come down to this awesome outdoor food hall, anchored by Santa Fe Brewing! You can grab anything from pizza, to Mexican food, gifts, brews, and even cannabis in this sweet mix of stores. It's close to downtown and only a few minutes from Balloon Park. Staff was incredibly nice! They even gave me a poster of my favorite beer so I can hang it at home! I had the 7k IPA, and enjoyed the taste a lot! I also bought a glass and sign, they have some pretty cool stuff!This is a must return for me in Albuquerque. There's two levels of stores all around dozens of shipping containers. It's quite fun and everyone was just enjoying the sun! Thank you!”
“Stopped by here yesterday for my wife's birthday. The food was stellar as usual, but something that stood out was that it was the best service I've had at any restaurant in a long time (our server's name was Alishia). Highly recommend this place to anyone.”
“Thank You Olivia for amazing customer service.. Such a great experience all the way through.. The steaks were amazing with that loaded baked potato and Caesar salads”
“We routinely visit on Sunday nights with a group and enjoy drinks and dinner in the more leisure bar side of the restaurant. Great staff, wonderful menu, such a nice meeting place for good friends.”
“My absolute favorite restaurant bar none! I have tried to find chicken souvalaki that compares in 3 different states without success. I never miss a meal at PARS when I am in Albuquerque!”
“I suggest going online and being added to the wait list there. Seated quickly once we arrived. Quick and attentive service was great. It does get crowded being a popular place to eat. The food is good.”
“I didn't have a meal here, but I met a few times for drinks. Very cool atmosphere and a chill vibe. Good place to listen to live bands. They don't really have a dance floor, ”
“Wow! We had cocktails and dinner there a few nights ago and I have to tell you I was extremely impressed and I’m not easily impressed. First of all the ambience was out of this world, loved it loved it loved . second the drinks were stellar. I had a vesper, and our friends had gimlets and old fashions all wonderful, and the presentation was just to die for, now the food; had the steak bites and our friends had the chicken skewers and a burger. All of the food was presented beautifully and very flavorful. It is a neighborhood gem!I used to go there when it was Jack’s. Make a reservation and get over there pronto , I promise, you won’t be disappointed”
“We had a birthday lunch for my husband at the 4th st Mario's on a Saturday. We were a party of 10. There was also a party of 30 at the same time. The cook and 2 servers did a fantastic job of meeting our needs in a timely manner. I can't say enough how awesome they were. Thank you!”
“A great place for dinner! The food was delicious, drinks were excellent and the specialty (limited time) cheesecake dessert was silver of the best I've ever had!”
“Will definitely be returning! Great food great service! Great atmosphere! We were unsure about our 2 year old eating a burger or hot dog the chef brought out a side of Mac n cheese with fries!”
“Great location. The outdoor rooftop deck has fabulous ambiance and prime view of sunsets and nighttime view of downtown and beyond. The menu is reasonable and has an array of offerings but the indoor bar and lounge layout is so confusing. It looks like part storage space and old 90s furniture for an office. It hints at ambiance and delivers something else. Needs an upgrade, even in the lobby on the way up. Strange tile covering the walls that isn't unified with the space. I wasn't there long enough to comment on service but it was adequate. It has potential, though.”
“Excellent little restaurant!!! Ordered their Sultani (came with a beef koobideh and filet mignon with seasoned chicken) a second plate of beef koobideh. Also ordered one tomato and one pepper dolmas. Everything is delicious and perfectly seasoned and portioned! Server is able to help with gluten free options if needed. It's a Kurdish and Persian style food, great food and good service. There are not a bustling squadron of employees which is fine, so patience is needed but well worth it.”
“I’m no expert in sushi so I’ll leave the food reviews to others. But the service and care here is excellent. From the moment you sit down you’re served a delicious miso soup. The two women who were serving tables were so quick and attentive. And the food was beautifully presented. Thanks for a lovely evening.”
“Stopped by for Sunday lunch since the Facebook food postings had looked so delicious. Did not disappoint. Hubby had the green Chile cheeseburger. it came out perfectly prepared and steaming hot. I had the poke cucumber cups which was the special and it was delicious. The chef brought out some loaded hash browns for us to try and again, delicious. Throw an over easy egg on top and it would have been a great meal.I had a Mexican Lager which surpassed my favorite Mexican Lager in taste. We will definitely be back and look forward to what they have in store for the Old Town location. .”
“An easy walk from several of the airport hotels, delicious food, friendly service, and I really appreciated that they went out of their way to make me a nice nonalcoholic cocktail! The back patio is a pleasant place to catch the sunset, too.”
“Have you ever wondered what dreams are made of?Did Taco Bell cause you to need a double colonoscopy but the Dr. had both hands on your shoulders, and now you need to drink away those memories??Then this is the place to go.The staff is friendlier than those kids overseas trying to sell you dvds of 80's/90's movies, and the atmosphere is like a Colorado hippie's wet dream!”
“Nice place with good food. Menu is a little different than M'tucci's Bar Roma, but the entrees are varied, with some nice cocktail selections and good service.”
“Staff was great! Took awhile to get a seat, so we sat at the bar. But once we met the waitstaff and chef, it was good! Everyone was nice and accommodating. Vibe is chill. Sushi was great! Not too expensive.”
“I got the plato de playa it has 3 shrimp wrapped in bacon 3 breaded shrimp and a whole fish filet ( breaded as well ) so bomb I promise you'll finish the entire plate ?️ not to mention the service is actually close to a 5 star restaurant. Did not have to ask for one thing and the food was as fresh as far as the coast could taste and get thanks and damn it keep it up thanks to lindo????????oh by the way they allowed my service animal in with NO ISSUES amazing ?”
“It is our go-to place for breakfast. It's not perfect, but quite superior to fast food and most other diner establishments. I'm actually waiting for big corporate America to grab this chain and ruin it. I hope that never happens.”
“Delicious! Quick cooking and hearty portions, everyone in the family loved their meal, and the service was great!Kid-friendliness: Easy, authentic and delicious spot for the whole family. Highly recommend!”
“My sister and I stopped in 20 min. Before close, we had went to three other restaurants and doors were locked due to short staff, as we walked in to jinja we were seated at the bar and the bartender Moriah let us order are meal! She was very sweet and welcoming which was nice! Thank you so much for your service, what a doll :)Vegetarian options: Plenty to chose from”
“This place is great!! The sushi was fresh and good portion. A lot of times you get sushi and it's super expensive and tiny! NOT the case with Tokyo Bangkok!! The atmosphere was great and the service matched!! Would highly recommend and visit again!”
“This was place was so good. The birria tacos and taco salad were on point. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the ambiance is chill plus they have a courtyard”
“From my experience It is a food truck between the two buildings.I ordered the Birria Ramen and it was delicious and reasonably priced. Service was fast and if you wanted too they offer seating under a tent.I came here at night so I can't really offer an accurate description of the atmosphere.”
“Confirmed what we already knew.....THE best American sparkling wine, period!Had the opportunity to taste a special sparkling flight and still wine varietals in a warm inviting Tasting Room with genuine hospitality. Many thanks to our host Olivia and Diana for providing expert concierge advice for dining locally.Do yourself a favor join the wine club and experience membership benefits.Cheers ??❤️”
“Definitely give this place a try! The food is delicious, fresh, and affordable. I order the garlic chicken and a side of lo mein. The food is cooked well, flavorful, hot, and fresh! We love coming here.”
“Hands down, the most memorable dining experience of my life, all thanks to the incredible service provided by Diana. Her attentiveness throughout the meal was unparalleled, ensuring every need was met with a smile. Now for the tomahawk steak. It was truly the most delicious steak I've ever had the pleasure of devouring. Thank you to the chef who cooked the steak to perfection. If you're lucky enough to have Diana as your waitress, consider yourself in for a treat. Can honestly say this was the best dining experience of my life, 10/10, would dine again.”
“What an excellent brewery! I had a hazy ipa, the guys with me had a light crevasses. The place has a great vibe with casual music, plenty of seating, and is very clean. No food, but a food truck was outside. Oh yeah, our 3 beers was only $15 a round. Greta place, if you’re in Albuquerque, out Marble Brewery on you list.”

“The food is average, nothing special, the service is a little slow but the employees are nice and the atmosphere is good.Kid-friendliness: It is a nice place for children due to its children's menu.”
“I am specific to this location because I’ve been to several Burger King’s around town and I still choose this location, hands-down flat. You always get fast service they’re friendly and your meals always hot.”
“I ordered on the app, but the app glitches and didn’t submit the order. I didn’t realize until I pulled into the drive through. The lady I spoke to at the window was super apologetic (even though it wasn’t her fault!) and she asked me to come inside. I placed my order again inside, and everything went well.It was super busy, but the wait time was normal and my order was correct. This is a very busy location (right off of Interstate 25 and next door to a hotel and gas station), so please be patient with the employees. They’re doing the best they can!”
“We went through the drive thru to get a quick lunch. We were surprised at how fast it was. Our server who was assisting customers going through the second path, away from the window, was very nice.”
“Am eating low carb but was able to find a big selection. Had the bacon, mushroom and brie omelette, replaced the potatoes with berries. Sorry no photo. Great service!”
“The food tasted fresh and home-made not microwave .Obviously they take pride in what they are making my granddaughter is very picky and loved her pancakes. We had a breakfast burrito Christmas style. . The potatoes are seasoned but flavorful.”
“Nice place, much larger inside than it seems from the outside. Plenty of outdoor seating on a nice day. My friend and I stopped by late morning on a Tuesday. The establishment had a very steady flow of traffic but not too crowded. It was clean and there is a nice variety of seating. Service took a while and we couldn't figure out why the line, just to order, was moving so painfully slow since the wait to get the order was not much at all. I had the dark roast coffee and the gluten free berry muffin and the coffee was tasty and rich - quite good - and the muffin very good.”
“Food was delicious, service was good & the atmosphere was quaint. No complaints.Parking: Be aware there is some parking behind the building, as well as the parking out front.”
“Decided to try for breakfast. The waitress was kind and helpful. Great atmosphere. The coffee was tasty strong. The smothered burrito was huge. Red chili was good. Would definitely recommend and will be going back to check out if they have drink ware with QR codes. Owners are also very nice.”
“The burger was nice & juicy; the bun was fat & the coleslaw came in a bowl, not an itty, bitty ramekin.They have a large selection of tap beers, including local breweries.I sat at the bar & had lovely conversations with several of the other patrons.”
“I go with friends frequently. We all love the food and the very hard working and fun lovely cook . She is the cook, server, and dish washer and has some rules to be observed. All in fun. Enjoy your visit to the Bomb Range ”
“Level 5 is a must for food enthusiasts. The vibe is fun and the staff is attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. The bartenders crushed it. Chef Marc introduced himself and I couldn’t help but tell him that the food was some of the best I’ve had in NM. As a first time visitor, I had low expectations for Albuquerque: This place changed it.”
“My favorite place to eat on the weekends! I forgot to take pics but next time I will add them. Food is hot and fresh everytime. Cash only. But every bit worth it.”
“Habibi House is hands down the best halal restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico. From the moment I stepped inside, I felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made me feel like I was part of the family.The menu at Habibi House is a perfect blend of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors. Every dish is prepared with the freshest and highest quality ingredients, creating a burst of flavors in every bite. The hummus is creamy and the falafel is crispy, and the lamb kabobs are cooked to perfection. I highly recommend their chicken shawarma, which is juicy and full of spices.The staff at Habibi House is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They are always happy to suggest dishes and help you navigate through the different options. The service is top-notch and they make you feel like a VIP every time you dine there.In addition to the delicious food, Habibi House also has a beautiful and cozy ambience. The decor is a mix of traditional and modern, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere. I particularly love the Arabic music playing in the background, which adds to the overall experience.But what truly sets Habibi House apart is their commitment to halal food. As a Muslim, it can be challenging to find halal restaurants in certain areas, but Habibi House ensures that all their dishes are prepared following strict halal guidelines. This is a huge plus for me, as I can eat here without worrying about the food being halal or not.Overall, I highly recommend Habibi House to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic halal dining experience in Albuquerque. The food, service, and ambience are all top-notch, making it the best halal restaurant in the city. I guarantee that once you try their food, you'll keep going back for more.”
“I was skeptical of another Mexican restaurant in Albuquerque. This place blew our expectations away. The Aguachile ribeye was phenomenal. Girlfriend had the seafood soup and said it was the best seafood broth she ever had. Definitely worth it.”

“Great service and OK food, though pricey. This is a very large place, and if you take time to notice, the house has a lot of interesting details. The salsa is fresh, with just the right amount of heat. The salad wasn't as fresh and the rolled taco was dry. If I were to return, I would try the ribs.”
“The place is just really cool with an awesome view but service was excelente I feel like everyone is really kind but the server that took care of me, Alyssa (I think that’s her name) she’s just the best, she’s really sweet and kind if I ever come back it would be because of her, maybe I’ll make another trip from Oklahoma to Albuquerque again soon ??”
“We love the variety of food options at Sawmill and the atmosphere is fun, plus the building is stunning. They do events in the yard on most nights during the summer so it is a fun place to grab a bite, a drink and hang out. I love that there are several gluten free options. And the Sandia Watermelon Cider is a MUST TRY.Editing to say we still love sawmill, the restaurants, the main bar, and atmosphere are wonderful!!Dietary restrictions: Tons of gluten free optionsParking: Plenty of free parking lots around sawmill”
“Frontier is beloved by locals and frequented by tourists as well as college students. Great location right across the street from UNM. The vibes and eclectic decor are top notch. There isn’t any shortage of seating or space inside. However, if you know good New Mexican food the fare might leave you feeling unsatisfied. A bit bland and the chile isn’t very spicy. The food is decent but certainly nothing special. I’ve had many breakfast burritos, lunch burritos, huevos rancheros and the like from here. On my most recent visit I decided to try something of a different sort. The grilled cheese sounded interesting plus I ordered a side of fries. The fries were nice and crispy, very good flavor. The grilled cheese was again just OK. It got soggy on one side from the tomatoes I believe. Definitely nothing that I couldn’t just make at home. I’m a student, and I live one block from frontier. I’ll continue to walk over from time to time to enjoy a decent bite and the vibes at this local representation of our city. Don’t be discouraged from visiting here just keep your expectations realistic”

“Went in Tuesday with my cousin like we usually do and was beyond disappointed. Our favorite server Chris is no longer there. So many issues we get a special item and described in in detail price was doubled and got it wrong 2 times before we gave up. The cheese was watery and extremely spicy. Got light lettuce on our nachos and it was either dry or rotten. Sooo disappointed and to top it all off my cousin got sick off the bad lettuce on there property. Just all around nightmare. Might have to find another place to make our usual”

“We visit Cracker Barrel at least 3/4 times a month and especially when we have company. We love it, everything is delicious. Our waitress Veronica was wonderful, coming to our table to check on us often. I refer friends and family to Cracker Barrel all the time. The only thing I would change is the chairs, not comfortable at all, other than that it's great.Parking: I don't think I want do that. Others opinions differ from mine. sorry! I'm finished with what I have to say. Thank you!”
“Had the cod on Friday. Was excellent. I know it’s good when all I use is lemon. No tater sauce needed. Also the fried okra was fantastic. Service was top notch.”
“Having lived in the SW for a spell many years ago, I have been wanting authentic Mexican for a long time. So, traveling through Albuquerque we stumbled on this place. Absolutely loved it! The chili rellano with brisket was soooo good. Our server was attentive, polite, and professional. And to top it off, the sopapilla was divine!”
“Sat down to a very nice meal this evening with a good friend. Our server was the absolute bomb! He was humble, and very attentive. The food was also bomb! But we had to have the server kind of explained the menu a bit to us as it was super fancy lol as far as the place goes, it's a decent place but I feel needs a little updating. But I was informed by the waiter, that they would be closing in a few months anyway...”

“Amazing! It's great to finally find some Jewish treats in this state. Everything was amazing from the Lox to the Kugel to the Rugelach. Very pleased and the staff was very friendly and kind!”
“This is my family’s first time eating at a Wingstop. The chicken was tender and juicy, but the outside of the skin was still crispy without being hard. The sauces were delicious. And instead of fried, they have this they have this Cajun fried corn bites so good!!!! I want to give a shout out to Audra and MyKyle!!! Thanks for an excellent first time experience”
“New local BBQ place, they do Oklahoma style BBQ so no rubs but BBQ sauce on the table with a house and a spicey option. You can smell the yummies from the moment you open the door. Had the baked potato with brisket on top and a side of pulled pork and regular mac and cheese, it was melt in my mouth yummy! Staff was very kind when asked about food allergies. The owner even came out to chat and was so kind and humble.”
“Our new favorite spot!! They are so fast, so nice, and the food is absolutely delicious! Highly recommend their bahn mis!! The lemongrass beef is my favorite!! The spring rolls are also amazing, really big and I love their peanut sauce! Great prices and excellent portions! Definitely check it out!!”
“The owners are so nice. The food is great. The amount of food they give you is a lot for your money. Well worth it.Please stop by and try it you won't be disappointed.Satisfy customer. 5 ”
“5 stars for service, price, portion and taste! Melissa, Chef Ricardo's sister was the cashier that took our order. She is super informative, kind and patient in answering all of my questions. I learned that they opened in December, only serve black beans, do not serve rice, that it is a family owned business from Cali, Columbia, that they do deliver and take call in and online orders! Parking was the only downside I found about this place but it certainly wasn't impactful enough to take away stars. My only suggestion is to play some classic Rumba or Salsa music to go with the Cali theme!In final, this is a must try! While it was not the California style burrito I initially anticipated, everything was AMAZING! The portions are HUGE, the prices are VERY reasonable, the restaurant was very clean with indoor and outdoor seating options and the service was great! I will be back soon!Parking: They offer free parking, several handicap spots included but can be tight during busy hours.”
“This new Stripes location is really well put together. The staff are all very friendly and my food has come out very fast both times I have been. I don’t think that Stripes has a great burrito compared to other choices in the city but it’s good and fairly priced. The eggs they use remind me of the ones in Taco Bell breakfast and the green chile is so-so. Overall, would recommend.”
“Really nice people. Fast, excellent, and inexpensive tex-mex. I had the pastor fries and some tortas--for $20 way too much food. Everything was delicious. Nice little food truck.”
“Really want to love this place, but now it's only a "like a lot."Staff are great, food is tasty and love that there are several good side dishes to choose from. The only complaint is that it seems everything is sandbagged and served not hot (including wings tenders and fried pickles). It comes out very quick, but I would rather wait a few more minutes to have fresh. As busy as they are, I wonder why the food is sitting so long after cooking.The tender chain down the road beats here in regard to freshness, but I would rather Slims be my go-to for the extra variety. The desserts in a jar are worth coming back for, so hope for a day that we get everything nice and hot.”
“I enjoyed my experience at Bama's 1865. The service was great staff was very attentive and professional. The food was delicious, good-sized portions (enough to take some home and enjoy later). The stuffed turkey leg was hands down the best turkey leg I have ever had. It was moist and tender give it a try. The owner came to our table and asked us how everything was and if we needed anything, very nice. I will definitely be returning.”

“For a brand new fast food place on a military base, it is pretty good. Burger tastes great, seasoned fries are good and crispy even when getting it to go.It's refreshing to have something different than the normal eateries on base.Recommend going before 11 as it's the new place to eat and it's quite busy. Give it a few weeks/months to calm down if planning to go for lunch.”
“Friendly staff, lively high energy atmosphere and good food and drinks. Brand new building that opened on or about 2-28-2024.Parking: Flat, paved, free parking lot. Empty spaces along north side of the building, close to Gibson boulevard. The spots south of the building were full.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible patio by walk up counter window”

“This place was a hidden gem in a very unexpected place! Albuquerque is a bit rough, rugged and dreary, so we were extremely surprised to find a Seasons 52 here!We made last minute bday reservations for two at 7pm on a Wed night, and they were very accommodating. We decided to enjoy the sunset from our hotel room, so we called back to move our reservation to 8pm, and they were very helpful.We were nicely greeted and seated at a very nice window booth as soon as we arrived. This place is absolutely gorgeous, and rivals any 5-star restaurant in any major metropolitan city. First impressions were Wow!I ordered a dirty martini with blue cheese olives, and husband got a manhattan. Our wonderful server Adriana even got me an extra olive, and let me tell you, these were a very fine quality blue cheese. Absolutely delicious! She later got me four more upon request.We each ordered Cesar salads, which were delicious with authentic anchovies dressing, sweet cherry tomatoes, large thin shavings of parmesian cheese, and perfectly crunchy croutons.For appetizers we had the lump crap cake, which was very good and surprisingly fresh for being so far from the ocean.We also had the amazing meatballs & marinara sauce for an appetizer, and we were blown away by how absolutely delicious they were! They were hands down the best I've ever had! We liked them so much, we orderd some to go along with extra marinara sauce.For dinner I had the chilean sea bass, which was also amazing and the perfect portion! I eat chilean sea bass often, so tend to be picky, and they didn't dissapoint!My husband had the 8oz filet mignon medim rare and it was cooked to perfection. He also loved the mashed potatos and asparagus that accompanied his dish.For desert, Adriana brought out a lovely display of desserts that were in small perfectly portioned glasses. One was on the house for my bday, and we ordered two more to sample. We had the pecan pie, keylime pie and strawberry chocolate cheesecake. The were all delicious! my favorite was the keylime, my husband's was the pecan.The restaurant even had a bday card for me signed by staff at our table. What a thoughtful gesture and classy touch!My birthday was such a memorable treat and I felt so special.We highly recommend Seasons 52! They're top-notch and our server was phenominal! Thank you so much for making my bday extra special Adrana!”
