New Mexican Restaurants near Bernalillo, NM

“This is the most amazing place to get New Mexican food! Great family establishment and friendly staff. Totally worth going out of your way (if you have to) for breakfast or lunch while visiting Albuquerque or Santa Fe“

“HANDS DOWN, THE BEST!!! Their food is unbelievably delicious — seriously addictive (in a good way) LOL, and always packaged with care. Their customer service is fantastic, and my order is ready in no time every single time! LOVE LA CASITA!!!“

“Come to eat here quite often, usually pretty good. Last night ordered green chile stew which lacked green chile. Burrito Grande which was cold and asked for it to be warmed in microwave. The staff behind the counter and in kitchen looked at me as if I were speaking an unknown dialect!!! All I asked was for it to be warmed!! They tossed it in the trash, made me another one, which was also cold! I apologized for requesting it to be warmed, but their attitude was unreal.“

“Went here for lunch with my friends. We got seated quickly and we were helped quickly. The salsa was hot in my opinion, and we didn't have to wait too long for our food. The food was good, not the best thing I've had but it was worth what I paid for. Our waitress was awesome, very attentive to our table. The sopapillas were so good, definitely my favorite thing I ate“

“We have been dining at Prairie Star for many years, even driving there from Santa Fe before we moved to Bernalillo in 2013. We have never been disappointed in their food or service all these years but I think they are now at an all time high in both issues with their new chef. We dined there in June for my husband's birthday and again in July for our anniversary and Saturday we brought some friends visiting from Colorado and they were more than delighted. The consistency of the visits are what what we are most impressed with. All the servers have been outstanding (sorry I can't remember all their names) but Ronda was our latest server and she was outstanding. John and Jean Luther“

“Good ol New Mexican comfort food“

“This Weck's location near Cottonwood Mall has very friendly and family friendly atmosphere, very clean, and easy access. Food came out hot, fast, and good. Our server, Dominic was awesome. I am going to tell you a true story about him. I knew Dominic when he was a cashier at the Weck's off of Paseo next to the church I attended. I would go there every Sunday before church. Dominic was very attentive, and he even smiled. He took our drink order and immediately was back with them. He took our order and answered all of our questions, he even asked one of our members if he wanted Christmas chile because he couldn't decide if he wanted red or green. He delivered out food right away and was hot. He was back again in no time with additional chile because he saw we didn't have enough. He continuedly check on us for drinks and asked up if our food was right. Good job Dominic.“

“My family made a reservation for 10 people at another restaurant. When we arrived they had no record of a reservation and said there would be a 60 minute wait. I called Casa de Benavidez to see if they could fit us in. They agreed and had a table ready when we arrived, 10 minutes later. The food and service were outstanding! I highly recommend for any event or family get together. This will be our new go to spot for mexican food! 👌“

“The restaurant is as beautiful as it is historic. It opened in 1972 and you can tell it’s a landmark. There’s a huge wall of fame as you enter the door with pictures of everyone from Mick Jagger to Lil Wayne.

It was a great day so we sat outside and it was fantastic, even with the honey bees circling for a shot at some of that delicious honey.

The food was great and the beans were well flavored. I mean the beans have to be great at a restaurant called El Pinto right? I had the combo plate #1 and my girl had the ribs. Both were delicious. Even the chips and salsa at the beginning was on point and the salsa had a nice kick.

The staff was super friendly and explained what I didn’t understand which was what’s the difference between mild and hot 🔥“

“Excellent service 👍muy rica la comida“

“Great breakfast and service!“

“Great waiter, Jacob .. margaritas and the food were great!!“

“This morning was my first time...pleased with the food - barbacoa street tacos and sausage breakfast burrito. My husband said the burrito was best ever! Logistics are another matter...I couldn't figure out the on-line ordering. So I called to ask a question - rang 19(!) times and the quality of the call was terrible - broken up and background noise. I called back and was answered at 3 rings. Quality of the call was much better and I ended up ordering by phone. Traffic is AWFUL. There were at least 12 cars in the drive thru..backed up onto eastbound Southern Blvd. I couldn't even pass the cars in line to continue down 26th (which dead-ends). I finally passed the line, went down 26th and turned around, parked and walked across to the walk-up window. Service was quick and friendly. Getting out of 26th again is a hassle - a lot, lot of cars going East on Southern so drivers going West waited forever - I finally was able to turn East on Southern and turned around to go West. PLEASE please figure out a better process! The food is good; it's a hassle to get to it!“

“Consistently excellent food, great service and reasonable prices! Must haves: Huevos Rancheros!“
