Don't bother coming here. I truly do not understand how it has so many positive reviews. Maybe people don't have taste buds anymore. As someone born and raised in Albuquerque, I was expecting much much better than this place can provide. This is hands down the worst Mexican food I've ever bought, which is really sad because it could be so much better with just a few slight changes.Genuinely disappointed in this place. My burrito was supposed to have cilantro, bell peppers, jalapenos, onions and tomatoes along with the beef, beans, and cheese but it literally only had beef beans and cheese. I think it would have been a great burrito if it was prepared correctly. But it doesn't end there. The beans on the side were bland. The rice had quite a unique taste to it, nothing like any other mexican/spanish rice I've ever had. Extremely salty/garlicky which is weird considering how bland the beans were. They give you a tiny tiny tiny cup of salsa to go with the chips, hardly enough for 3-4 of the chips they give you, I just mixed it in with the beans to give them some more flavor, but it was still bland. I got both red and green chili and both were very bland. No spice/heat to it at all. For what this place costs, it's much better to go somewhere else. Heck, even Taco Cabana would be more flavorful for a fraction of the price. I certainly will not be going back, ever. If I'm gonna pay a premium price, I'll go somewhere like El Modelo where you get premium quality flavorful food.

Delicious! I’ve never had red Spanish rice at a restaurant that I actually liked but Papa Nacho’s changed that! They also were not shy with filling the tacos with meat and toppings. I’ll definitely go back!

A cute little place to get fresh, homemade Mexican food! They make their own tortilla chips so they're really good. Our waitress was friendly and everything about our order was correct even though we had some special requests.

A small family ran restaurant. Clean, friendly staff, and they served some great food. Chips were crispy, salsa had a kick but super yummy. We had fish tacos and carne asada taco plate, both dishes were simply scrumptious! Best Mexican food we had in a long time.
