50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Albuquerque

“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!“

“The Range Cafe is wonderful place, has great eats, and most of all AMAZING STAFF!!“

“He comido de lo más delicioso!!!!!!! No puedo creer que exista comida tan rica !!!!!! La salsa de las enchiladas verdes! Tiene el balance perfecto entre picoso y no picoso, las quesabirrias fueron las mejores que he probado en mi vida ! Y que ricas papas que te ofrecen gratis en vez de chips !!!! No vivo en Albuquerque si no sería mi lugar favorito para venir, pero cuando vuelva a pasar por seguro aquí estaré. Abran uno en dallas por favor !“

“AMAZING food, brews, service and atmosphere!!!“

“Great place. Food was excellent with large portions. Terrific service. A little on the pricey side.“

“This has become my late night addiction. Love this comfy food. The enchiladas and burritos are filling and flavorful. The refreshing orange juice.
Try out the chicken enchiladas with green stew and try to get a sunny side up on the top.
Thank me later“

“Our server, Benjamin was new to his position but went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The bartenders were so great, taking care of an elderly gentleman who left his card at the bar. The bartender also made sure the lighting was corrected when someone made an error as it became dark outside. We will definitely come back to this location!“

“Such a great place to go to! especially for a girls night or even double dates, the drinks and food are so great!! I came here with my sisters for a girls night recently and the atmosphere was beautiful! the service is also really great, our server was very attentive and helped us a lot with the menu. I’ll be coming back again soon!“

“Delicious Mexican food with Great customer service and delicious desserts and COFFEE 10/10. The best Flan and churros in town for sure. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“The service and the food was great.“

“Our waitress saw we had a camera and enthusiastically wanted to take a photo of us, while my friend looked like he had never been photographed before in his life and forgot what cameras even were. Excellent service, food was good, the place was a little packed but not in an uncomfortable way.
Would eat at again when in ABQ“

“Nice atmosphere and friendly staff, but the food was pretty bland. It's like mexican food made for white people. I don't just mean spices, there was too little cumin, cilantro, lime etc in everything, all spices too little except salt. Recommend if you have a mild palate

Vegetarian options: Very few vegetarian or pescatarian options. Mostly beef or pork

Parking: Plenty of parking on a gravel parking lot

Kid-friendliness: Family friendly place that kids will love, with pretty paintings and colourful decorations“

“Best Barbacoa burritos in town!“

“awesome food and service. so happy we found this place! great for our family of 5“

“The barbacoa was good, not greasy. Shrimp was slightly overdone but whole taco was flavorful. Tres leches was too dry. Complimentary salsa was too watery and not too tasty.

Staff were friendly. Service was quick, but I was one of two tables.“

“My coworkers and I went to ACL last weekend for my birthday. The owner brought a piece of chocolate cake with a candle. The owner's wife brought Natillas to the table and recommended mixing the cake and Natillas. It was a hit. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. Going back for sure.“

“muy buena comida gran sabor auténtico exquisito.“

“Waitress was great. We arrived b4 door was unlocked, but she was ready for us. Chile was a tad hot which why the 4 stars. Everything else was fantastic plenty of food and well prepared. Reasonable price and cozy atmosphere. Bought lots of take home tortillas.“

“The food is excellent and very affordable, and the vibes are absolutely superb!! Wonderful atmosphere, very friendly and pleasant people; we’ll definitely be back!“

“Papa Nachos was very good and very reasonable prices for what you are getting. :-) Give them a try and you'll be happy especially if you're craving Mexican food. :-)

Kid-friendliness: Give you a coloring page and crayons. Also as a kids menu. :-)“

“The staff and food are always amazing“

“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.“

“Best Mexican food in Point! Generous portions at a fair price. Everything is fresh and cooked to order. The tacos were loaded and delicious. Also, the avocado sauce hits just right. Staff are super friendly.“

“A lovely little hole in the wall . The service is outstanding, and so is the food and atmosphere. I highly recommend this place. I got the combo breakfast burrito with chorizo, bacon, green chile, their special sauce, cheese, hashbrowns, and eggs.“

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

“I decided to try a new local restaurant for breakfast today and had heard really good things about Mick's Chile Fix, and since I was looking for a good chile fix I decided to try it. This place is awesome. I ordered takeout but the diner was super quaint and comfortable, it looked like a fantastic place to have brunch and it smelled amazing! The little gift store they had on the side was super cute too. I ordered a regular sausage breakfast burrito smothered in red and the portions they gave me were absolutely massive. Definitely a 2-day breakfast. The red chile is really rich and flavorful, I'd say a medium heat with enough kick to make my nose run, and the meal was delicious. 12/10 would recommend to anyone looking to support a local Mom&Pop-style restaurant while getting Grade-A+ New Mexican food at the same time. Will have to try the rest of their menu.“

“I wanted to try the old Quarters on Yale as I love BBQ. The restaurant is now called La Serenita. They serve Mexican food and the old Quarters menu (see attached). Today I decided to go for lunch. I walked in at 12:40pm & was the only person in the restaurant. What a shame. I sat down looked over the menu while my waitress brought me chips and jalapeño salsa which was amazing. The menu had some really nice Mexican choices but I came for the BBQ. I ordered the combo because I wanted to try all of it. For $30 this was a great value in the ABQ BBQ market. It came with 5 pork ribs 1 sausage cut in half & 3 large slices of amazing brisket & plenty of sauce with 2 sides. I chose French fries & coleslaw. The slaw was just like quarters the fries were not the steak fries but still very good and a bit salty but delicious. I was never fond of Quarters brisket. This brisket is thick well smoked and juicy with little fat. This is the best brisket in ABQ I have had to date. A huge improvement from Quarters & as good as any I have had anywhere.

Over-all I will be back. Don’t let the lack of people sway you for lunch. My waitress was warm and kind and I asked her about the dinner & weekend scene. She said they get busy but not like the waits from the old Quarters days. She said they take reservations for larger parties and get pretty busy during Isotopes and UNM games. They have a full bar.

She also said to come back & try their Mexican food which is true Mexican cuisine and gave me a few hot sauces to sample which were true to Mexico. I asked if she sells more Mexican or Bbq? She said bbq for sure.“

“So delish! Came by Blue Sky looking for the restaurant that used to he here...it was soooo good. Highly recommend! We had the breakfast tacos and the breakfast enchiladas. The green sauce has a kick! We shared a half blue corn waffle with lavender whipped cream and strawberries. Also very good.

The restaurant isn't fancy...but it feels homey.“

“Don't miss this place -- it's all good!!!“

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Monroe’s New Mexican Restaurant! We have eaten in both restaurants, ordered takeout, and had small gatherings catered many times over the years. Every experience has been positive. Recently, we hired them to cater our wedding reception for about 140-180 people at a private venue. We worked with Sarah to plan the menu, calculate quantities of food needed, and plan for the delivery and service at the event. She was very helpful, professional, and responsive to both email and phone messages. Monroe’s catering was fantastic! The staff was super friendly and professional. They set up quickly and quietly, served guests with a smile, packed up leftovers nicely, and cleaned up, leaving the area neat. The food was fantastic and tasty as usual for Monroe’s. The quality of the food and service was exceptional and the prices more than reasonable. We could not have asked for a better catering experience on our special day!“

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

“It's one of the best burritos in town! I highly recommend calling and picking up your order as this food is made with love and love, takes time, (or make sure you're not in a hurry). Red and green chile are hot, so you've been warned. The Supreme Burrito is one of my favorites, but everything is amazing.“

“Delicious Agua frescas, amazing birria pizza and yummy birria ramen! This place has friendly service too! Definitely recommend.“

“After a long journey from Texas to California and back to Texas this food was just what we needed. Delicious homemade authentic Mexican food that hit the spot. The waitresses were so nice and provided great service considering they were only 2 and extremely busy with people coming in. They provided service with a smile and were attentive with our needs. Highly recommended!“

“If you're looking for authentic Mexican food not new Mexican food this is the spot ? everything is maid to order I've been eating here since I was a small child and now I can enjoy bringing my children her to enjoy the same food I did when I was younger the tacos here are absolutely delicious carne asada and al pastor are my favorite and definitely recommend this for anyone who wants to enjoy real Mexican tacos las gorrditas are always hot and fresh hand maid maza everything is maid fresh daily las aguas frescas are supper delicious and everything at a fair price definitely a 9/10 highly recommended!!!!“

“This small Mexican restaurant boasts big fresh flavor! No need to eat anywhere else!! My family could barely talk while we ate - the food was outstanding! Fresh cut cilantro , guac was perfectly made, best rice and beans ever!! And the meat was perfectly cooked. The staff was hard working and very kind. Lovely atmosphere. You must eat here!!“

“We go on Taco Tuesday. Our favorite is the Durango wings. They are very spicy but ooohhh so good. The Yucca fries are also very good. They don't have much seasonings... they are perfectly made. They are exactly how I had them in Costa Rica. We've tried several taocs a la carte (due to it being Taco Tuesday) & haven't found anything we wouldn't eat again. The staff is very kind & considerate. Sometimes they forget Utensils or napkins but are quick to bring them. We highly recommend eating here... especially on Taco Tuesday ❤️

Parking: Parking has never been an issue. There are several spots open around the building.“

“Food is consistently excellent. We normally call in for pick up, and our order is always correct. Even the 10 month old loves it!“

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

“The food was great. The owners are amazing. The salsa is the best I have ever had. We will be back for Fiesta!!!“

“This is such a lovely lovely place to dine, they have a steam table to order and choose your dish, they bring it out, ohh, how sweet these folks are, it's a very interesting place inside, lots of cool stuff around for visual stimulation,“

“Ordered the ultimate with an order of guac and chips delicious“
