“This place has an amazing atmosphere. It is very calm and relaxing while also being upbeat and exciting. It is beautiful inside. It makes for a really pleasant dinner. The workers are always coming to serve you more meat. Always bringing out new drinks, which is appreciated because not all restaurants pay attention like this. They are very accommodating to large parties too, which is awesome. Our waiter Ethan was super nice even with my kids being crazy.”

They do a lot of phone in orders and pick ups.”

“Ordered a carnalitas burrito for dining in. This thing was thicker around than my forearm! 🌯🤣 The fillings included lots of shredded chicken, more shredded chicken, garnishes, and other greens. Free sides available at the side bar included triangle restaurant chips; 8 or so different sauces; thin-sliced as well as ring onions; red chilies, carrots and more.
Ambiance was pretty chill, with light traditional folk music in the background. My lady server was friendly, helpful, and I was served quickly and with no fuss. When I was ready to leave, she volunteered a takeaway bag for the weighty half burrito I couldn't fit down. 😁
Location has plenty of parking, being in a grocery store plaza.
Price-to-size ratio hit just right for a single burrito that massive, although part of the menu is a bit too much for said items. But the rest of the menu seems about low - mid average.”

I’ll be back hungry for more”
Vegan • $
“This place blew my mind. It's a little unassuming, as someone who struggles with liking milk shakes, these are tasty and not milk based. The burgers and chicken are all 100% plant based, but in a blind taste test I don't think I'd know. The burger wasn't a good imitation, it was just a good burger that happened to contain no meat.”

Steak House • $$$$
“Just really disappointed. Cheeseburger was requested medium rare. It came super rare cold in middle I think it was pulled right from package. Steak was perfect medium rare and delicious. First lobster bisque was lukewarm, 2nd was delicious and hot. first garlic mashed potatoes was room temp as well. No idea what 2nd was like I requested not to bring 2nd but they brought it anyways I did not try. Lobster was over cooked, funny that old Red Lobster was better to eat. Seems weird to say. They brought cheesecake in to go box. Why make it worse to open at home with 2 mini drops, one side. No care at all, husband and I just looked at it and laughed thought perfect end to awful meal.”

“We travelled to Albuquerque and wanted to experience the Indian Pueblo Cultire Center. Since we knew there was a dining option, we arrived hungry and I have to say we couldn’t have selected a better meal stop! Mark was our waiter and we each ordered something different in order to sample as many options as possible. The Pueblo taco was delicious. The chef makes the fry bread and it was worth every bite. After our meal we ordered and shared the Pueblo bread pudding which was so delicious I forgot to take a pic til it was essentially gone! The manager kindly brought one out so I could share a picture with you. If you are going to Albuquerque, this is an experience you will not want to miss!”

My meal was in the $20–30 per-person range. The combination of a strong bar-menu option and a memorable surf-and-turf dinner made this visit stand out.

I can't even describe how amazing it is. The spices, the flavors - everything is exceptional. If this restaurant was in Boston or New York, the reservation waiting list would be a month long and it would be three times as expensive. So grateful it's so close by.

Bistros • $$
“We went to dinner last night in celebration of my husband’s birthday. From the moment we walked in, we were met by the most delightful hostess. The ambiance and the entrees and wine were fantastic; My husband ordered the filet mignon and I had the chicken dish which were both absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection; the sauces…wow! On the other hand, the desert, a strawberry chiffon cake was a bit underwhelming and not up to the excellence of the entrée. On the way out, we met up with one of the general managers who took the time to ask us about our meal. He couldn’t of been more gracious.The price was not over the top. We look forward to a return visit.”

Ramen • $$
“It was my first time trying Oni ramen for lunch. I ordered ramen noodles and beef dumplings from special menu list. I liked sitting at the bar facing busy kitchen and listening to music. It was a first winter day in Albuquerque, gloomy and rainy, - so the cosy warmth of the restaurant with rich hot ramen broth brought comfort to my soul. I will definitely come back to try regular items on the menu”

“My wife and I visited The Copper Lounge to celebrate the 4th of July, and we had a fantastic experience. The staff was warm and welcoming, and our server was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout our visit.
We enjoyed the Loaded Nachos, Smash Burger, Fried Chicken Sandwich, and finished with the Strawberry and Vanilla Sundaes. Everything was fresh, delicious, and served quickly.
The restaurant was clean, the ambiance was great, and the service was outstanding. We truly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!”

“We had a wonderful dinner at Dorothea's Greek Restaurant last night with a group of four. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the host, who was exceptionally professional, polite, and courteous. Her warm and welcoming attitude made a great first impression and truly set the tone for a wonderful evening.
The service was excellent, and we really appreciated the hospitality and attention to detail. It’s always nice to feel genuinely welcomed, and she did an outstanding job making our experience special.
Thank you to the entire team at Dorothea's Greek Restaurant for a wonderful evening. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant!”

“First time here and enjoyed the food and drinks! Sat at the bar and had great service. Beer on tap choices along with an extensive cocktail menu can confirm that the old-fashioned is the best in town! The tourist burger is highly recommended. Homemade bun with green chili cheese and crafted pickles. And the queso Blanco to dip the fries! My wife my had the fried shrimp tacos with refried fried black beans, pico, and Crema- chef kiss!
We will be back!”
Steak House • $$
“LongHorn Steakhouse has always been a great choice when I am looking for a good steak and a solid sit-down meal. The food is consistently well prepared, portions are generous, and the overall quality is very good for the price.
The steak was cooked exactly how I ordered it, tender, flavorful, and seasoned well without being overdone. The sides were also fresh and came out hot, which makes a big difference. Everything tasted like it had been prepared with care rather than rushed out of the kitchen.
The service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal, and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. Even when the restaurant is busy, the staff do a good job keeping things moving without making the experience feel rushed.
Overall, LongHorn is one of those places I can count on for a good steak, good service, and a consistently enjoyable meal. Definitely deserving of 5 stars.”

“We came to celebrate my mom’s birthday and from the minute we walked in the host was really friendly. Our waitress was so attentive she saved 2 tables and gave us the choice to choose which table we would like the most due to us having a baby and them having live music. She even gave me a base for the flowers I bought .”

“My first time eating at Santiagos on Eubank. At first I was scared to go inside. The outside has bars (criminals can't get it) on the windows and a lot of writing and pictures on the windows which looked tacky. The front of the building could use a pick me up makeover and such. The owner made a customer move from a four seat table to a two seat table and said it was because of the rush hour. I did enjoy the food though! I ordered a breakfast burrito and was dreaming I was going to get fried potatoes, but it was a very light serving of hash browns inside. I will definitely be back to try their other food.”

“I first ate at Pho’s #1 almost 20 years ago when I lived on the east side of Albuquerque. I live on the west side now but whenever I go across the Rio Grande, I get several orders and bring them home. Lovely people. Good service and excellent Vietnamese food at very reasonable prices. I highly recommend them.”

“This was my very first time visiting New Mexico. A huge part of what made my experience at El Pinto so memorable was my server, Azure. She was extraordinarily polite, friendly, and welcoming right from the start.
Coming in, I was excited—and a bit curious—to try authentic New Mexican cuisine for the first time. Azure went above and beyond to guide me through the menu, generously bringing out samples of both mild and hot red and green chiles, as well as the calabacitas, so I could find my perfect spice level. To top off my meal, she brought out complimentary sopapillas!
Azure is a true model employee, and her hospitality represents the very best of El Pinto. Management has an absolute star on their team, and she deserves both a promotion and a raise for the outstanding care she provides her guests.
Thank you!”

“So, yes, it's a little bit pricey. Now that that's out of the way... You're paying for the view and location. Our food was very good. Service was very good. We will definitely go back. I'm surprised we waited as long as we did after the rebuild. Oh, there were people there dressed relatively casual. No t-shirts, but many people in nice jeans. We've eaten on the bar/casual side a few times before and the experience there was also positive. Yes, check the prices before you go so you don't get sticker shock. But the truth is, two people could easily have dinner with no wine, appetizer or dessert for around $100.”

“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!”

“Great brew in Northeast Albuquerque love to see places that make ciders had the apple cider and that was phenomenal and was a treat to have made and not coming from a can. Staff was great. Bartender was slightly overworked because she was by herself, but you can tell that people stay calm and enjoy the atmosphere. No food trucks were available at the time of our visit but the beer was great. The entertainment and sports games on TV were also great to have when reviewing the menu. Notice that there is some sort of an event every night from comedy night to live music and even music bingo which is a phenomenal thing to have has pinball machines and an area for game playing that the kids can enjoy while you are enjoying your drinks. Will definitely go back to enjoy it again. Have also been told that there is other locations in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. Will be back”
Pizza • $
“I love this place! I heard all the hype and went. I figured a small salad and a slice would be a good start. But it was way more food than I could eat. They have the typical flavors but one type that I enjoy is the lemon pizza- it’s a fun twist. The Caesar salad is piled high with Parmesan cheese. The atmosphere is upscale, and the service is always wonderful!”

“My husband, our 5-month-old, and I stopped by on Sunday morning for our first visit. There was a short line at the door, but it moved very quickly. The shop is small, so only about 3–5 people can be inside at a time, but we actually enjoyed that because it made the experience feel more like a private viewing of the pastries. There were at least 20 different items available, and everything looked absolutely amazing. We decided to try four things this time—one savory option and three sweets: a sticky bun, a donut, a pavlova, and a savory puff pastry. Everything we tried was delicious, and we would definitely recommend trying anything baked here. We’ll be back to try more!”

“We have had coffee at Cup of Cozy twice. The coffee tasted fresh and brewed perfectly. In contrast (in my opinion) Starbucks coffee has a burned taste. There are Christian scriptures and messages on the walls and even on the paper cups, which I liked. They play Christian music, too. I would rather have silence. But if I have to hear music at a store, I would rather hear that than the loud and sometimes vulgar music that some stores play. Cup of Cozy has a menu with lots of modern coffee drinks. But we haven't tried the fancy drinks.”
“Veronica is the best server always enjoy her service cold beer hot food highly recommended”
