Cervantes Restaurant & Lounge is a cherished spot in Albuquerque known for its delicious New Mexican cuisine. The menu features popular dishes like tamales, tacos, queso, and the open-face green chile cheeseburger. Guests can enjoy the amazing chile rellenos and the highly recommended seafood tacos. The chips and salsa, with a smoky flavor, create a great start to the meal. Standout options include huevos rancheros with carne adovada and the tamale plate. The restaurant also offers great enchilada plates and sopapillas that are fluffy and delicious. Guests can ask for a tequila shot with cinnamon orange instead of salt and lime, and the margaritas receive high praise.
Cervantes has a large bar and dining area with a surreal, old world decor and calming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive, with some reviews noting that service can feel a bit rushed. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but the front entrance is very dark and requires caution. Overall, Cervantes provides a traditional Mexican dining experience with great salsa, chips, and good mixed drinks, making it a top choice for many visitors in Albuquerque.
