El Modelo Mexican Foods Reviews
Called in an order and was told I had to pay over the phone. Stupidly I gave my card number. The next morning I started getting charges for parking meters in downtown ABQ. They’ve lost our business, which is a shame because their food is delicious!
Fire don’t leave without having a #stuffed #sopapilla
good food. good atmosphere and the service is okay.
