The Original Cocina Azul

First off, the food was delicious! My husband had the enchiladas dinner and said it was great. I had the chicken tacos. The problem was they got my dinner wrong and it took way too long to get it back. But when they did it was really good. I also had their seasoned squash side and fadillo was so good. I Could have had a big bowl of the sides. They also have soapillas with the meals included. . We took those to go and they had honey packets with it. We were passing through so if in the area again I would go back.

Went for dinner on vacation with my adult son. Seated quickly, host was warm and friendly. Dinning room was clean and modern. Had quesadilla and my son had a huge brisket burrito smothered in chile. Both flavorful and seasoned perfectly. Enjoyed their very good chiles with chips. Had a margarita mixed perfectly. Ended meal with the most heavenly warm pillowy sopapillas I’ve ever been served in my life. Highly recommend! Prices are very good for quality!

The Steak Ranchero was the probably the best breakfast I've ever eaten.

We started with the Chips & Queso Dip — absolutely delicious and full of flavor! I had the brisket burrito, and the brisket was tender and perfectly seasoned. The green chiles were spicier than expected (so be warned if you’re heat-sensitive!), but everything was fresh and tasty. The food came out super fast, and the service was great. A definite must-try in Albuquerque!

Alfredo was our server and though it was VERY busy, took our order quickly and brought margaritas and 1 entree out PRONTO. Split $17.95 combo, all was good and fresh tasting (chile relleno part was ‘meh’). Not too salty, brought med. and mild salsas which appealed to each of us. Check was handled promptly and Alfredo even recook of 2, or 3, icecream spots for ‘later’. Atmosphere is LOUD but convivial, unisex bathrooms is good idea. Margaritas are huge and strong ($$). Total 1entree, 2 drinks & tip $60

It's been a very long time since my last visit to this restaurant and my last visit! This restaurant charges for chips and salsa! They also charge you a fee if you use your credit! I ordered carne Ado Enchilada, and it was Luke warm at best! I also ordered a draft beer, and it was not very cold! The service was average at best! My waiter never checked on me the entire time I was eating my meal! I also ordered a chicken taco salad to go, and it took forever to get it! I don't recommend this place at all!

Great local restaurant. Service was great. Had the chile relleno. Plate included two large chili’s which we split. The green salsa had a great flavor and a pretty good kick. Awesome meal.

Excellent from beginning to end! Delicious food, good beer, salty chips with red and green chili. Service was great and friendly. Definitely recommend!

Red and green chili really good! Food was above par for sure. Going back. Great staff.

Nice place which seems to cater to a local chill scene. The staff is very nice. I just thought the food was missing something. I will probably go back but just try a different entree.

Service was meh, and food was bland. Red chile had zero spice and was closer to ketchup.
