I was really looking forward to enjoying “the best chile rellenos ever”. That’s what I ordered, but a hat they served instead was quite disappointing. The flavor was just ok, and the texture was awful. The plate was mostly full of soggy, undercooked fried batter, the chiles were stringy and sad, and everything was the same mushy consistency. If you want chile rellenos, go somewhere else

Having lived in the SW for a spell many years ago, I have been wanting authentic Mexican for a long time. So, traveling through Albuquerque we stumbled on this place. Absolutely loved it! The chili rellano with brisket was soooo good. Our server was attentive, polite, and professional. And to top it off, the sopapilla was divine!

The food is predictedably good, but the noise level at lunch time makes the place unpleasant.

Most items on the menu cost $17.50, but it could go up or down from there. For that cost, it was very loud and too busy. The food took longer than I would’ve liked(we can impatient and hungry kids), but it was extremely busy. I think it would’ve been a better experience outside of their peak busy time. (Probably)Really good salsa though and the servers were nice.

Healthy portions. Excellent food. Good sopapillas. Feels a bit like a street cafe but it's indoors. Tight parking.

We showed up with like 12 people from a conference. The servers were able to accommodate our large party and serve us like a boss. Everyone's food was delicious and we were Hella happy.

The best Mexican food we had our whole vacation and this includes the Santa Fe area. We went to breakfast here twice in a row and we will probably be back for dinner tonight. Service was A++++.
