Abuelita's New Mexican Kitchen in Bernalillo is a family-owned restaurant known for serving traditional recipes made in-house. The food is top-notch, with many customers claiming it is the best New Mexican food ever. The Natillas are a standout, and the Menudo has been praised as the best in the state, featuring generous portions of tripe meat. The green chile can be super spicy but still tasty, with the roasted hot green chile being a must-try. Customers often enjoy dishes like the Tamale plate with Christmas chile (red & green), Huevos Rancheros X-mas, eggs over easy, and a puffy Sopapilla with honey, along with crispy fresh papitas. For those who prefer milder options, Cheese Quesadillas are also available and delicious.
The staff is friendly and helpful, and Ruby, one of the owners, is known for her warm greetings to locals and her pride in the restaurant. The establishment has been a part of the town's dining scene for over 42 years, currently run by Kevin and Ruby Lasoya, and is decorated with family photos that enhance its charm. Though some reviews mention room for improvement in service refinement, the restaurant is wheelchair accessible, though the uneven entrance may pose a trip hazard. Overall, Abuelita's remains a beloved family favorite, cherished by the community for over 30 years, offering fresh, flavorful food that is perfect for family meals and authentic New Mexican cuisine.
