Enchanting hideaway historic New Mexican cuisine. Delicious Family run Iconic . 5 Stars
I've heard stories about how good this place was... The word is was. The staff was nice and helpful, but they did seem anxious for us to leave. It was around 6:30 pm. Portion sizes were small and the rice had a strange consistency. The crunchy tacos were ok. I'll wait a few more years before I try them again.

Nice Mexican restaurant good food and good prices!
Senora Roberta, the long time owner of Cervantes Mexican Restaurant, in Albuquerque,
has an absolute gem of a restaurant. The decor, the character, the charm, well, everything, was unequalled. The bartender,( the grandson), was very personalable and attentive. I will be coming back

I love Cervantes and always bring out of towners here for the best red chile. The carne adovada is excellent. Sit on the bar side for a cool velvet experience.

We ate at Cervantes a lot 40 years ago when we lived nearby. The food is as good as we remembered. The carne adovada burrito was and still is great!

I really enjoy this place. The food is good. It's a good value.
I was disappointed that they allowed a patron to have a dog on their lap at a table while they ate. We left.
