“The food was absolutely delicious! We had the gorditas and the menudo, and they were both amazing. They even gave us free samples of different guisos, which was such a nice touch. Everything tasted like home away from home. We’ll definitely be back next time you’re in New Mexico! 🇲🇽“

“I can't say enough about the service! Jerome the manager was hands on throughout our visit. The food was hot, delicious and fresh. The margaritas were refreshing. So accommodating! Highly recommend!“

“Back to the 60's experience, wonderful.“

“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!!“

“A holiday shout-out to Los Chileros! I went to visit my good friend in Santa Fe this past summer. While I was there, I purchased some of their spice packets in a gift shop downtown. Specifically, I grabbed the Pueblo chicken rub and Abiquie steak marinade. WHOA. Delicious. When I got home from our trip, I was sad I did not have more. So... I ordered some online, how convenient! I decided while shopping that I'd grab my family members some packets for Christmas. Not only did they deliver quickly, but they included a bunch of free packets of other spice blends, on the house! I'm a customer for life now.“

“Came here for the Mexican turn over. Had the Carne Adovada and cheese with Red, it was excellent. We also had a combination plate with red and green, and it was also great! Chips and salsa were okay. Atmosphere was charming cute older building. We got lucky with a parking spot! They were steadily busy, not sure who our server was as it was a group effort, they were busy and forgot our refill but no biggie. Prices were good.“

“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!!!“

“Wonderful experience. My parents loved it!“

“The service and the food was great.“

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

“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.“

“Delicious food“

“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.“

“Always first rate, every time!“

“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!“

“Dedlicious food with large portions and great service!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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 🙌“

“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.“

“Been coming here for years, nothing fancy, but if you want fresh made from scratch food, including the home made chips and salsa, you will find it here.
They don't charge extra for the chips and salsa like alot of places do now. Also be sure to pick up the card when you pay, they will stamp it and when you purchase 10 meals, you will get one free, can't beat that.“

“THE BEST!!!! Food is GREAT, service is off the charts, & everyone is friendly! Can't miss experience!“

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

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.
