50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Albuquerque

“Excelente sabor de los platillos 💯“

“Came here for the Mexican turn over. Had the Carne Adovada and cheese with Red, it was excellent. We also had a combination plate with red and green, and it was also great! Chips and salsa were okay. Atmosphere was charming cute older building. We got lucky with a parking spot! They were steadily busy, not sure who our server was as it was a group effort, they were busy and forgot our refill but no biggie. Prices were good.“

“Amazing food, dessert and great people. Service is splendid!“

“If you get there early enough, you get a nice table. Their food is first rate New Mexican style food. Not Mexican, NEW Mexican. there is a huge difference. Even after they left the bowling alley, they have managed great food at a great price. Staff is always friendly, fast and efficient. The Chile con queso is fantastic. The salsa never lets you down. While the portions are more than I can eat anymore they have lighter dishes that still deliver. If you get there after 6, you will have a wait ~ but it's worth it!!!“

“Wonderful experience. My parents loved it!“

“The service and the food was great.“

“Auténtica comida mexicana, como si estuvieras en México. Y El sabor excelente .“

“Great Mexican restaurant south on Wyoming near base. All around very solid. Flavorful, good ingredients, and fast service. Be aware that not all the waiters may speak great English, maybe like 1 in 5. However they are very used to non-Spanish speakers being near Kirtland air force base and are patient. Just point to the menu if you need to.

The place is always packed which is a good sign. I got carne asada tacos most recently, and my wife got a Thin steak. Everything was solid.

Be aware, they somehow track your order so when you go to the cashier, they'll know what you got. No bill comes to the table, just go up to the cashier when you're done.

Anyway, it's always a solid choice. If you don't often get Mexican but want some less Americanized options, you'll love it.“

“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.“

“Delicious food“

“Dedlicious food with large portions and great service!“

“Nice people running this joint! Give your money to good people! 😇“

“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!“

“I ordered the torta cubana and it was what I expected! Amazing flavor and very friendly staff, 100% recommend! They also have aguas frescas👌 If you ever come from another state for the Mexican Consul and are looking for a mexican spot to eat, come here. Taqueria Mexico 🙌“

“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.“

“Been coming here for years, nothing fancy, but if you want fresh made from scratch food, including the home made chips and salsa, you will find it here.
They don't charge extra for the chips and salsa like alot of places do now. Also be sure to pick up the card when you pay, they will stamp it and when you purchase 10 meals, you will get one free, can't beat that.“

“THE BEST!!!! Food is GREAT, service is off the charts, & everyone is friendly! Can't miss experience!“

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

“I love this place. The food is consistently good, the atmosphere pleasant and it is most usually full of customers. The waitresses stay busy and do not purposely ignore new customers, they are most likely bogged down with keeping customers happy with delivering orders, refills of coffee, tea or water and a panoply of other duties that they perform. They are not at fault. This restaurant has been in existence for 30 years, I knew it when Loyola, the founder opened it and I know that her daughter Sara is doing a fantastic job of continuing the service that Loyola started. I have zero complaints with this restaurant and certainly miss it when I am not in Albuquerque. Albuquerque is very lucky to have a restaurant of this quality.“

“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.“

“THE BEST PLACE TO EAT EVER!!! SO YUMMY AND JUICY.. EVERYTHING ON THIS MENU IS BUSSIN!!! SO AMAZING!!! I WISH I LIVED HERE!!! FOOD IS 10 OUT OF 10.. AND SERVICE IS SPECTACULAR!! GOOD FOR KIDS AND ADULTS CHILI IS U DESIRE IS ON POINT. . PICTURES OF FOOD, ACTUALLY MATCH THE TASTE AND SMELL OF HOW IT LOOKS!! YOU HAVE TO COME AND TRY THIS FOOD. RAMEN-BIRRIA IS PERFECT FOR KIDS AND U CAN ADD CHILI FOR ADULTS!!! BEST PLACE IN ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO“

“Carne adovada was super tender, chicken fried steak and eggs delicious! Didn’t even know about this place; found it while hungry and driving down the road. Highly recommend. It’s old and has seen better days, but well worth the stop. Great breakfast, thank you!! Some of the best places are the dives, so dive right in!!!“

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

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

“Lunch special Great family restaurant“

“Oh man, this place had AMAZING food! Im so glad we stumbled upon it! If you want authentic Mexican food, please visit! This family tin place is a little rough around the edges when it comes to appearance, but it does not affect the food you'll receive! I had a smothered burrito and rhe best tortilla chips I've ever had!
The staff were so nice!“

“The Ceviche nachos are my absolute favorite!! Would recommend to everyone! Great family environment as well as wonderful staff.“

“We had Mother’s Day’s breakfast and it was a great experience. Attentive staff for a group of 10. New seating area on the patio was a beautiful experience. The food is fabulous, highly recommend the carne adovada breakfast. The meat is tender, paired with the hash browns and eggs, so delicious.“

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

“Stopped here by accident but so glad I did. The chicharrones were so good. My boyfriend had the carne adovada christmas style. So good!! I got the Barbacoa. My
meat was so tender and the tortillas were delicious. The salsa had a kick. I will be back again.“

“Always greets you when you arrive even when he is with another customer or when there is a line! His corn in the cup are filled to the brim too! Prices are reasonable considering he built his business from the ground up and probably uses the money to buy all that corn and to provide for his family. People can eat at the location where there is a table and chairs, everytime there are people there it is always so lively!“

“Amazing amazing tacos. Ordered the steak taco dinner. Cilantro onion cheese lime guac. Fresh food and meat, had no off putting smell.clean bathrooms. As soon as i saw women cooking and cleaning the place I knew it was going to be good food amd Clean. I was right. Women tend to be cleaner and more observant in their cooking and cleaning. Especially Hispanic women“

“Awesome food! Great customer service! Highly recommend this place“

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