“Had me & chips & salsa Greeted as I entered by a friendly welcoming staff, quickly seated and brought water, fresh brewed iced tea and as I gazed the menu I found things I had never tried before, the staff answering any questions I had and very willing to accommodate my hunger, ordering Huevos Rancheros, with side sopapilla, it was absolutely delicious, I had asked what a stuffed sopapilla was they explained, but I did not order one as it contained mushroom, staff made me a fresh one without and presented it beautifully for me to enjoy, what a great breakfast and experience and being able to witness staff that take pride in their chosen line of work!!! Thanks guys you ROCKED it!!“

“We drove from Maryland to Las Vegas, Nevada tryin various food spots along the way. We hit back this place on the way back home and it was phenomenal.

Food and service is top tier. Atmosphere is homey and has a great home town family feel. We were seated at a clean table immediately. The menu was easy to read and choose from. The server was happy to explain things and recommend things and the food came out extremely quick.

We let them know about our road trip and told them that their food was the best we have had yet and the staff and other patrons cheered and clapped for us as we departed it was soooo heartwarming and sweet. Definitely recommend checking this place out!“

Recommend any of their breakfast burritos- either hand-held or better yet, smothered. Baby burrito or pancakes (to share) for the kiddos.“

“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!“

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!“

“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.“

RAMEN-BIRRIA IS PERFECT FOR KIDS AND U CAN ADD CHILI FOR ADULTS!!! BEST PLACE IN ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO“

“I love this place. The food is consistently good, the atmosphere pleasant and it is most usually full of customers. The waitresses stay busy and do not purposely ignore new customers, they are most likely bogged down with keeping customers happy with delivering orders, refills of coffee, tea or water and a panoply of other duties that they perform. They are not at fault. This restaurant has been in existence for 30 years, I knew it when Loyola, the founder opened it and I know that her daughter Sara is doing a fantastic job of continuing the service that Loyola started. I have zero complaints with this restaurant and certainly miss it when I am not in Albuquerque. Albuquerque is very lucky to have a restaurant of this quality.“

“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.“

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

“Best food in town. Best red AND green chili. Best enchiladas! Friendly staff, fast service and clean environment. Fantastic place. My new #1 place to eat!“

“Carne adovada was super tender, chicken fried steak and eggs delicious! Didn’t even know about this place; found it while hungry and driving down the road. Highly recommend. It’s old and has seen better days, but well worth the stop. Great breakfast, thank you!! Some of the best places are the dives, so dive right in!!!“

“Awesome food! Great customer service! Highly recommend this place“

“Lunch special Great family restaurant“

“Oh man, this place had AMAZING food! Im so glad we stumbled upon it! If you want authentic Mexican food, please visit! This family tin place is a little rough around the edges when it comes to appearance, but it does not affect the food you'll receive! I had a smothered burrito and rhe best tortilla chips I've ever had!
The staff were so nice!“

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