“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!“

On top of all this... these guys are the epitome of what a neighborhood diner should be. They know your name, care about your needs and care enough to meet you at even the needs unspoken. Albuquerque South Valley is blessed to have such a gem of a restaurant - We know we are! Go enjoy a great meal at a place that feeds your heart and mind, too!“

“Wonderful experience. My parents loved it!“

“Best Barbacoa burritos in town!“

“Auténtica comida mexicana, como si estuvieras en México. Y El sabor excelente .“

“The service and the food was great.“

“Great Mexican restaurant south on Wyoming near base. All around very solid. Flavorful, good ingredients, and fast service. Be aware that not all the waiters may speak great English, maybe like 1 in 5. However they are very used to non-Spanish speakers being near Kirtland air force base and are patient. Just point to the menu if you need to.

The place is always packed which is a good sign. I got carne asada tacos most recently, and my wife got a Thin steak. Everything was solid.

Be aware, they somehow track your order so when you go to the cashier, they'll know what you got. No bill comes to the table, just go up to the cashier when you're done.

Anyway, it's always a solid choice. If you don't often get Mexican but want some less Americanized options, you'll love it.“

“I have eaten at this establishment on multiple occasions. The service has always been friendly and the food is authentic and delectable. Chips are house made with a Salsa that will sit on your tongue with a mild kick. \n The Menü offers a nice variety of options.“

“Best Mexican food in Point! Generous portions at a fair price. Everything is fresh and cooked to order. The tacos were loaded and delicious. Also, the avocado sauce hits just right. Staff are super friendly.“

“I just went in to pick up a couple breakfast burritos the sausage one red chili one green chili and they are absolutely wonderful the place is cozy clean and the service is fast and friendly! If I were you I would stop by sometime and have a meal“

“Always first rate, every time!“

“Best birria tacos Food is fresh and delicious great customer service“

“Dedlicious food with large portions and great service!“

“Nice people running this joint! Give your money to good people! 😇“

“Tap and Taco is truly something special. The food is amazing, but what really sets this place apart is the kindness of the owners. They go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and appreciated, treating customers more like family than guests. Their generosity and genuine care shine through in everything they do, and it creates an atmosphere you don’t find very often. Pair that with some of the best food in New Mexico, and you have a place worth supporting again and again. Thank you Joel and Laura Marquez you guys are the best ever:) we love you guys“

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

“I ordered the torta cubana and it was what I expected! Amazing flavor and very friendly staff, 100% recommend! They also have aguas frescas👌 If you ever come from another state for the Mexican Consul and are looking for a mexican spot to eat, come here. Taqueria Mexico 🙌“

“If you get there early enough, you get a nice table. Their food is first rate New Mexican style food. Not Mexican, NEW Mexican. there is a huge difference. Even after they left the bowling alley, they have managed great food at a great price. Staff is always friendly, fast and efficient. The Chile con queso is fantastic. The salsa never lets you down. While the portions are more than I can eat anymore they have lighter dishes that still deliver. If you get there after 6, you will have a wait ~ but it's worth it!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“THE BEST PLACE TO EAT EVER!!! SO YUMMY AND JUICY.. EVERYTHING ON THIS MENU IS BUSSIN!!! SO AMAZING!!! I WISH I LIVED HERE!!! FOOD IS 10 OUT OF 10.. AND SERVICE IS SPECTACULAR!! GOOD FOR KIDS AND ADULTS CHILI IS U DESIRE IS ON POINT. . PICTURES OF FOOD, ACTUALLY MATCH THE TASTE AND SMELL OF HOW IT LOOKS!! YOU HAVE TO COME AND TRY THIS FOOD. 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.“

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