“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.”

“Went here for a 4th anniversary. Loved it. My wife got the risotto with chicken and gave it 2 thumbs up. I got the short ribs and they melted in my mouth. Didn't even need to use a knife. Note the ribs have no bones, it's just a plate full of meat, veggies, and potatoes. So yummy. We ate outside on the terrace, and there wasn't much traffic noise from Central so I recommend the outdoor seating. Service was prompt and friendly. We got a cocktail, a mocktail, a side of bread and butter, two entrees, and a yuzu panna cotta for dessert. Including 20% tip it was $167. Worth it!”

“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.”

“My man Roy at this Whataburger is like my bestie. See him practically every day because I do Doordash deliveries and eat in often.

That’s sad this chicken is amazing. Super crispy. Tons of flavor your sauces have flavors. I never tasted before. I thought about it for two days after I ate it for the first time.
Highly recommend you go here and enjoy it just place your order ahead of time.

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.”
Ice Cream Shop • $
“1st time customers....I had the root beer float and my partner had Mahs favorite. The vanilla soft serve was delicious but what made it stand out was the Zia rootbeer. Mahs favorite was also delicious. Got to meet Britney and Erik and had a lil conversation w them. We will be back as we notice they also serve an orange julius. Nice and cozy place to enjoy a fresh treat. Thank you for making this experience a good one.”

“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.”

Kebab • $$
“I was intrigued by the Kurdish & Persian cuisine posted under the business' name I thought it was fast food but it is actually a sit down restaurant but you can order takeout. It took about a 25 minute wait as they roasted the kabobs fresh then take the skewer out for the to-go box. The restaurant had beautiful chandeliers over all the tables and authentic wall decorations and mini dioramas of the Middle East this cuisine is from. Large pieces of art were for sale but the jewelry are display only.
Beautiful tea pots were on display. And best of all was their display of baklava deserts in the front case.
My husband loved the boneless lamb I ordered for us. The dish came with a very spicy jalapeno and a very cooling cucumber sauce that went perfect with the lamb.”

Food can be fabulous and if the service is bad, it ruins everything. NOT HERE! Our server was Jasmine and she was also PERFECTION. Friendly, professional, and on the ball. I really appreciate good service these days, because it's not always great. Jasmine is the exception. I would go back and have exactly the same thing, and it would be a must to have her as the server.”

The staff was super super busy (it was popping off in there!!) but really nice and we felt taken care of. Haven't been to the bar next door but it looks really pretty and fun as well.
The cucumber michelada was insanely good. The waitress said they juice the cucumbers fresh- you can tell. All the food was bomb but standouts were the agua chile verde (BEST by far in town, some of the best agua chile I've ever had, seriously) & the churros--so well presented and the warm chocolate was amazing.
GO HERE! So awesome to find a place like this in ABQ.”

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”

“Central Bodega is the best date night dining experience in town. It is quaint, yet sophisticated. The service is very good. The food, particularly the lamb, is out of this world!”
Custom Cakes • $$$
“I absolutely loved everything about The Cake Boutique. My husband and I got engaged in Puerto Rico, so when we saw that Birdie had a Pina Colada cake filling, we took it as a sign that it was meant to be. Birdie was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Responsive, kind, and very obviously loves her job! She made us the most delicious and beautiful cake that was better than we could have imagined. I would highly recommend The Cake Boutique to anyone who is looking for an amazing wedding cake experience!!”

“Food is great. If you go you have to get the Parmesan crusted fries. This longhorn always undercooks the steaks a little so order accordingly. Wait time is like 40 minute waitlist around dinner.”

“We eat here often and it’s always consistent. The food drinks and service are always amazing! Love their specials on different nights including all you can eat shrimp night. Their calamari is the best I have ever had. Love their crab legs and espresso martinis. They have a great bar with TVs and a wonderful dining room for the family. Open kitchen so you can see the cooking and even an outdoor patio. Definitely recommend!!”

Brewery • $$
“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!”

“First night of their new summer menu and Left Turn knocked it out of the park once again!!! Floating on Basil made its return from last year’s summer menu- basil infused vodka, lemon juice, pineapple juice, soda water, and house made strawberry simple syrup 😍 The drinks are incredible, the bartenders are fantastic, and The Kitchen at Left Turn makes the most delicious fresh chicken nuggets I’ve ever had- make sure you get the housemade green chile dip to go with them!!”

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.”

“Passing through Albuquerque and this place was recommended to us by someone we passed on a hiking trail on Sandia Peak. Went there for lunch and loved the atmosphere, decor and overall vibe. Food was delicious and the service was great. Shout out to our server Michael who was attentive and responsive - the whole team pitched in to make sure the customers were being served. It is our first time in NM and our fellow hiker said we had to try the sopapillos - they were delicious. Highly recommend El Pinto for a meal in Albuquerque!”

“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!”

“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!!!”

“I don't have a single negative thing to say. This is easily the best bakery I've found in Albuquerque so far. Everything we got was fantastic.
There's a half-dozen option that lets you select most (all?) of the pastries on display for about $36. It saves you about a dollar per pastry, so it's a pretty nice deal.
I live on the west side, but I'll be coming back despite the drive.”

This time I mentioned not loving my drink last time & was told to always let them know if I don't like it so they can remake it!? LOVE that. Special shout out to Jonathan at this location - dude has great vibes and double checked that I liked my drink before I drove off. Thanks guys! You've taken over as my favorite coffee stop on my way to school.”

“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.”
