50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Corrales

“My favorite bar in New Mexico. Simple menu with great Mexican food that incorporates hatch chiles whenever possible. Definitely try a sopaipilla or five. And a very knowledgeable proprietor behind the bar who can guide any customers interested in the more rare distilled spirits and delicious libations.“

“The absolute BEST huevos rancheros I’ve had in a very long time. Complemented by smashed roasted potatoes that I’ve never had before. Everything was excellent. We complimented the waitress on the food and the sous chef Jordan came out and greeted us. with a huge smile. Will definitely be coming back and everyone we know will hear about it.“

“Seriously the best restaurant we have found in Albuquerque so far. I’m going to be dreaming about the green chile salsa forever now. The service was amazing and friendly. The food was amazing. The green chile burger was delicious. Brisket Burrito with the red and green sauce. 🫶 Get yourself to The Original Cocina Azul. Our only regret is we didn’t go the first night we arrived.“

“What a wonderful delight to enjoy a restaurant that welcomes you in. With courteous service, good food and a nice atmosphere. I Could not ask for more, but I got more. They opened a new restaurant on rio grande in the old Monica's restaurant, building. the food is the same as the original location and the service fantastic. I want to wish them a prosperous journey in the new location. 5 stars...“

“Best tacos in town! Great service too!“

“Best NM food ever anywhere“

“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!“

“Always first rate, every time!“

“Absolutely the best! Nachos are delicious!“

“The atmosphere is great, service was amazing and the food was spectacular. I love the fact that they show on the receipt a cash and card price! Not much of a difference in price.

Overall, great spot, better food and even better people, the owner Richard always goes above and beyond!“

“Wonderful experience. My parents loved it!“

“Dedlicious food with large portions and great service!“

“A classic example of how Google can help plan a vacation. Had one night in Albuquerque and wanted traditional New Mexican cuisine and Mary & Tito’s was a home run. The food was fresh, hot and incredibly delicious. The only thing that topped the food was the friendliness of the entire staff. Amazing experience!“

“Delicious food, generous portions, and fantastic service 😀“

“Delicious food! Excellent red chile and tortillas are to die for!“

“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.“

“muy buena comida gran sabor auténtico exquisito.“

“Taqueria Mexico serves the best burritos I’ve ever had! The burrito was huge, packed with fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. Every bite was full of flavor, and the balance of textures was spot on. The staff was friendly and the service was quick, making it an all-around great experience. The only thing I regret is that I don’t live in Albuquerque to enjoy it more often! Highly recommend for amazing Mexican food!“

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

“if i have to give this place 5 star 🌟 i won't, i give this place a 10 star ⭐ the food is Extremely good and delicious 😋 i don't have a word to express 😋 good food great personality Great service 😃👍 i can't stop smiling 😃“

“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.“

“From Clovis and visit Burque often. We visit more talked of breakfast spots when in town, but this little gem stood out from the corner and we decided to stop by and we were more than satisfied. Kind service, delicious authentic New Mexican flavors and family centered atmosphere. Shop small shop local, Santiago's is one of a kind.“

“great food enjoyed eating breakfast there 😋 thank you“

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

“Best Mexican food in the area by far“

“Everything about this place was an unexpected happy surprise. I had the spinach and mushroom enchiladas with tomatillo sauce. The tangy sauce balanced out the blend of veggies and ricotta cheese perfectly for a unique vegetarian dish. The food is in the style of Michoacàn, Mexico. Lots of great seafood. The beans and rice are fresh and flavorful. Finish your meal with Cafe de olla and a flan. The service was great too. Very friendly.“

“I was absolutely happy that the woman that was hosting noticed my friend and I and offered to sit us at the bar, so we didn't have to wait for a table. The service was good, but the hostess made our day. The food was also delectable. I can't wait to visit again.“

“They are friendly and their food is delicious! I’ve had their birria tacos, the birria pie, birria nachos, asada tacos, and honestly many more items. Never disappoints. The guy yesterday recommended their Cali burrito, and I WILL be going back for another…“

“Our server was Michelle she was awesome! Very sweet, friendly and quick on her feet. Food was delicious!😋 We’ll be back!“

“We ordered the number 2 and number 5 and everything was great….but the tapatío birria ramen is *chefs kiss* everything i ever could want in delicious comfort food. My kids got churros with their order and had never had them with custard inside. Needless to say…we are now fans.“

“well the entree was delicious. I would have preferred a beer with my meal but not available. staff members professional and courteous. Roll Tide!!!!!!“

“Service and food were great!“

“Good ol New Mexican comfort food“

“We had amazing Mexican food at this restaurant. We have learned not to order steak in Albuquerque, but that is not about the restaurant. It seems to be a cultural thing. This restaurant makes all of the tortillas that are served. So good! I highly recommend.“

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

“Knock your socks off AMAZING plant based options ~ anything you can eat we can eat vegan at La Salita 🌱“

“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! 👌“

“Best NM food around! We have been eating here for GENERATIONS! Amazing food, great service and quiet atmosphere.“

“Thanks guys for keeping it right. This sounds like a real national dish. Thank you very much! Behind the forest to the east, there is a wonderful Mexican cuisine on wheels. I recommend it because it will really soften a hard working day. Thanks to the owner for the quality of the food.!!! If you continue like this, everything will be great for you!!!!“

“Showed up for lunch/brunch on Sunday and was mind blown with the quality of the food and service. Honestly got more then we bargained for, the ramen birria, the quesabirria and quesadilla was some of the best we’ve had in a long time“

“The food is phenomenal, hands down the best Birria I've had in Albuquerque without question. We shared 4 street tacos with rice and beans and a quesadilla. We ended up taking the quesadilla home because they pile plates with so much food. The atmosphere is your basic small independently owned taco spot, red, yellow and green painted walls with a TV playing novelas.
The downside of our meal was that we were over charged by 20 dollars. Admittedly I was so excited about the food that I didn't pay attention to the price (and the obvious language barrier), I simply swiped my card and didn't realize the overcharge til I recieved my email statement. The taco plate is listed at $16 and the quesadilla at $14, we also got a bottle of coke at $4 for a total of $34 and we were charged $56. Next time I will definitely pay attention at check out. That said, I will definitely be going back for more of their amazing food!“

“Isaac was our server….he was just amazing!“

“This is as local as it gets! Ben & Lisa are Burquenos!“

“This whole atmosphere and environment, reminds me of my grandmas kitchen. The service is always great, and family friendly, especially when ana is working. This is my wifes and I's go to spot. The food is excellent. Extremely different from your traditional resteraunt experience.“

“It was my first time eating there today. Very good place very comfortable. I will definitely be going there again!“

“I had the quesabirria, oh my goodness.... It was delicious and I can't wait to go back. This is not Tex Mex, or southwestern, it's Mexican and it's a wonderful break from the usual fare you get here in New Mexico. I like my read and green don't get me wrong but this is a step up in my opinion. Highly recommend!“
