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. 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 seafood tacos are highly recommended, and guests can ask for a tequila shot with cinnamon orange instead of salt and lime. The restaurant offers a large bar and dining area with a warm, decorative atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive, although some reviews mention 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 favorite for many visitors.
