“ Great little place. Been here for awhile. Greeted immediately and sat shortly after. Waitresses were on top of everything. Food came out hot and fast. Staff here makes you feel like a regular. Food was great along with sides. Will be coming back. ”
“ Food is great, the waiters are great, but the price is a little expensive. How the food tastes, it was worth it. Come here for a great meal. Warning, green chili is hot! So good! ”
“ Extraordinary freshly prepared New Mexican food, service and price. Ordinary, plain, just an average, little run down restaurant diner but the real New Mexican food you dream about when you have been away and the first place you go to when you return. Real cream with my coffee, carne adovada breakfast burrito as big as a football covered in red chile. Huevos Rancheros got their name here. ”
“ Absolutely delicious food. Generous portions. Got the 3 meat breakfast burrito with Christmas. Lots of chile! Red was superb. Thank you for a delicious meal. We got it to go and ate in the car. Thankfully they packed forks and extra napkins! ”
“ I used to eat here all the time when I was a teenager. I really miss this place. It's one of my most favorite restaurants ever. ”
“ Super friendly family staff, treat everyone like regulars, even though we’ve only just discovered it in recent months. Very reasonable prices, especially compared to some of the other “bigger name” Mexican restaurants in Albuquerque. CASH ONlY, be prepared!! ”
“ It is very rare to find an authentic atmosphere with both great food and service. It's definitely worth the trip! Oh, and their salsa! ”
“ Food is delicious! I had a breakfast burrito, and it was on point! The waitress Maria is so nice, sweet, and attentive. Manuel is the best cook and owner. Five stars. ”
