Real New Mexican food with green or red chile, not Mexican with jalapeños and cilantro. This place tastes like homemade NM food when cooked fresh! Carmen is awesome and will remember you. Being a regular, I had a to go order once, with a couple of burritos and I forgot my wallet at home and only had a couple of dollars. Carmen just said take them and don't worry about it. That was awesome of her! I did however pay her back in a case of eggs.

Mrs Flores is an amazing, hard working, attentive lady who makes great food! If you don't like HOT chili, get it on the side!
I went prepared to be underwhelmed because of all the hype. But I was overwhelmed when I tasted the food. Best burrito in my life.
The Burrito Lady is known for serving some of the best burritos in town. Their supreme burrito is a popular choice, but all their offerings are highly praised. The carne adovada breakfast burrito is a standout, especially when enjoyed with a spicy kick from their renowned red chili. The restaurant has a small kitchen that feels more like a home than a corporate place. The ingredients are fresh, sourced from local suppliers like Albuquerque Tortilla Factory, and include potatoes, beans, red and green chile, carne adovada, and chicharrones.
Many customers say the food is very spicy, especially the green chili, which makes the burritos taste amazing for those who like heat. The homemade tortillas are wonderful and add to the flavor of the filling. The atmosphere is simple, with eclectic furniture and a cozy vibe that reflects the family-run feel. Though the restaurant can be busy, the line moves quickly, and the wait is worth it for the delicious burritos. The friendly and efficient service focuses on providing great food and a warm experience.
The Burrito Lady is a wonderful and iconic place to enjoy hearty burritos in a no-frills setting that adds to its charm. However, it is expected to close soon as the owner plans to retire, so visitors are encouraged to stop by while they can. Overall, it’s a great spot for tasty, spicy burritos that will make anyone feel at home.
