“This was the best place I have ever dinned in at! I have been to a lot of places and I have never had a restaurant that had everything look exactly like the photo as well as excellent taste. I'm not one to open up and try new things but I went 4 days in a row and I everything I tried was beyond amazing. The management is extremely nice and the waiters were super nice! I am from out of state and I would drive back there just to eat here. Seriously #1 restaurant! Should consider making one in Texas!“

“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.“

“A classic example of how Google can help plan a vacation. Had one night in Albuquerque and wanted traditional New Mexican cuisine and Mary & Tito’s was a home run. The food was fresh, hot and incredibly delicious. The only thing that topped the food was the friendliness of the entire staff. Amazing experience!“

“Best birria tacos Food is fresh and delicious great customer service“

“Delicious food! Excellent red chile and tortillas are to die for!“

“Just wanted to give a big thank you to Monroe’s on 4th Street. We went in a little nervous about food allergies, but the staff completely put us at ease. They were so kind and careful. The manager even went out of his way to call the head chef at another location just to double-check everything for us. They gave us a list of safe options and took every precaution to avoid cross-contamination. It meant so much to see my daughter enjoy her lunch without worry. Truly grateful for how thoughtful and accommodating everyone was. Highly recommend if you’re navigating food allergies. They really care.“

“Delicious food, generous portions, and fantastic service 😀“

“Totally agree that this is a hidden gem. I had the most delicious camarones a la diablo here that I've ever had and I often order this dish in Mexican restaurants. The shrimp were fresh and cooked to perfection. The sauce was spicy, but not too much. Four of us were at the table, and all were super pleased with our dishes. The waiter was fast and extremely helpful in making suggestions since this was our first time to the restaurant. We always eat outside and the patio was quiet and very pleasant. Also, we weren't rushed at all and had a leisurely dinner. The four stars for atmosphere just means that this was a clean, small, casual but not a fancy restaurant. Will definitely want to return on future trips to Albuquerque.“

“This place is freaken awesome, love coming here by myself, and the waitresses are cool mellow people. Even one of the waitresses will give you another pour of coffee which is awesome and also how many films was filmed here, this is a good place to bring family and a good morning breakfast to relax at, the pancakes here are bomb, can I get a amen yay“

“Taqueria Mexico serves the best burritos I’ve ever had! The burrito was huge, packed with fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. Every bite was full of flavor, and the balance of textures was spot on. The staff was friendly and the service was quick, making it an all-around great experience. The only thing I regret is that I don’t live in Albuquerque to enjoy it more often! Highly recommend for amazing Mexican food!“

“Fire don’t leave without having a #stuffed #sopapilla“

“If you love old diners - this is awesome. I didn't realize this was featured in Breaking Bad. Absolutely classic. Food was great. Diner food with a local twist - you know - Hatch green chilis. Service was friendly and fast. I will be back next time I'm in town.“

“Food is amazing. Fair prices for the portions. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food this is the place! You get to eat in, take out or drive through. Glad it's in the South Valley. Their meat is perfect, slasa is so good. And OMG Their tostadas and nachos are unbeatable! Will recommend ?.“

“Mexican tacos the way my daughter been asking for. Visiting from Dallas and she wanted Mexican tacos like back home in Oakcliff, Dallas, Texas. Did not disappoint! The atmosphere, menu and setting are just what she needed to feel back at home. We will be back one more time before we leave beautiful New Mexico.“

“wow! all the tourist spots had waits. come here! try the 3.99 peppers wrapped in bacon. the steak fajitas are to die for.“

“Well after a long day, we ordered some 3 barbacoa tortas and the none of them came with any onion nor cilantro. The buns were drenched in grease/oil. They didn't even ask if we wanted cilantro and onion. I would assume that they came with it. The meat was good though.“

“Very tasty food. Wonderful smoky chipotle. Appreciate the metal art outside the restaurant.“

“Always good. The green chile stew with a little bit of pork is always my favorite. My dining companion had three tacos. 🌮 They were so much for him, he had to take some home. Always recommend Abuelita's. Nice, calm, quiet spot in the South Valley. Check out the times to see if they are open. 😀“

“From Clovis and visit Burque often. We visit more talked of breakfast spots when in town, but this little gem stood out from the corner and we decided to stop by and we were more than satisfied. Kind service, delicious authentic New Mexican flavors and family centered atmosphere. Shop small shop local, Santiago's is one of a kind.“
