Jesus T. was an amazing waiter! If you can, I would request him! We had the ribeye burritos, chips and salsa and other sides. It was great!!
Seriously the best restaurant we have found in Albuquerque so far. I’m going to be dreaming about the green chile salsa forever now. The service was amazing and friendly. The food was amazing. The green chile burger was delicious. Brisket Burrito with the red and green sauce. 🫶 Get yourself to The Original Cocina Azul. Our only regret is we didn’t go the first night we arrived.

The ORIGINAL Cocina Azul at 12th & Mountain Rd offers fantastic New Mexico cuisine with warm, attentive service. The small seating area may require a wait, but it is well worth it. The menu features flavorful dishes like carne adovada, which is tender and full of flavor, and classic NM chili flavors found in the frank jr. chili stew. The green chili is especially praised for being tasty, fresh, and having a smokey flavor, while the red chile is also flavorful. Breakfast options such as huevos rancheros Christmas style and eggs over medium are highly recommended, with crispy hash browns and perfectly cooked eggs. The restaurant’s sopapillas with honey are a delightful accompaniment. Visitors appreciate the authentic taste and friendly atmosphere, often comparing it favorably to tourist spots in Colorado. Overall, Cocina Azul is a beloved local gem known for its delicious food, great service, and a cozy, welcoming environment.
