It's a cafe located in the zoo. Where my family and I ate lunch at today. It was cool. Alot of exhibit were closed down. The Penguins were cool 👍🤗

As a zoo member, I was so disappointed with the service compared to the excellent service I typically receive at the zoo. I was waiting for fries and multiple times I was blatantly ignored by the staff here. In light of the Covid restrictions and the new policies there was no one explaining the process of mobile orders nor was there communication when I went to the mobile orders doors. Three times I was at the door with zero acknowledgement. So disappointing!!!!

Food was good but really expensive. You pay around $17 for a grilled cheese sandwich and fries. The burgers are great and pizza looked good. Takes a while to get your food but does tlcome out cold. They have a burger that has jalapeños, green chili, pepper jack cheese, and some other stuff on it that was great.

I'd give zero stars if I could. I am extremely disappointed in the way things are done at the Cottonwood Cafe at the ABQ Bio Park. $37.11 for the crappiest lunch on the planet. January 2021 my family, along with some family friends, went to the zoo. When it was lunch time, I went and ordered some food from the Cottonwood Cafe. I was charged $37.11 for two tiny kid's meals (one with a PB n J and one with a corndog) and a container of cotton candy. My friend was charged over $20 for one kid's meal and a cotton candy. The price for these items is EXTREME! I don't know if it was a mistake on the cashier's part, but it is not only extremely high, but also insulting. The food is not even quality food. The little animal tote bag it comes in is junk. The salty and oily chips are taken from a larger bag of chips and put into sandwich baggies. The applesauce was bland (we had to beg for a spoon, by the way) and not even a name brand. The Crustable sandwich is not worth a dollar to me, and the Corndog was really chewy. The tiny little animal shaped juices are ok, but not worth what you're charging, and the same thing with the cotton candy. I don't know what is going on there but I am informing every person I know, as well as typing up reviews to warn the world of the extreme, and highly priced junk that you all are selling at the ABQ Bio Park. It is ridiculous and I think it needs to be investigated. People are being ripped off, or taken advantage of because there aren't any other choices for buying lunch. If you are going to charge that much for food, it better be really good.

The food is pretty good for something you can get in a zoo. However, it is typical. Burgers, fries, chicken strips and pizza. The nice thing is the food does come out warm.

Food was really tasty. Would definitely eat there again.

My boyfriend order a inferno burger with onion rings and I order the green chili turkey cheddar grilled sandwich with homemade chips. Food was fast and good!

Food was ok but the wait was like 30 minutes. We got there early. Two orders ahead of us and it was just sandwiches and fries/Mac and cheese. Very very slow and very frustrating.

Food was good and relatively fast. But brother was it expensive. Two cheese burgers with fries and two waters cost over $36!! Mc d's doesn't cost that much. The area outside really needed to be cleaned. Glad we ate inside.

The green chile cheese fries are delicious! On-line ordering is very easy.

$7.95 for a bottle of Gatorade? $4.95 for a bottle of water? All the water fountains are closed “for your safety” but who can afford to try to stay hydrated with these prices?

Great ambiance with the peacocks! But terrible service and very very overpriced! Save ur money, go somewhere else!

The food tasted fresh and home-made not microwave .Obviously they take pride in what they are making my granddaughter is very picky and loved her pancakes. We had a breakfast burrito Christmas style. . The potatoes are seasoned but flavorful.

I’m grateful they serve food in the middle of the zoo 💜 Sure, there’s a scope of improvement with regards to quality and taste of food.

Too expensive - wait is extremely long. I recommend to bring a lunch and have a picnic. We paid 120 for 4 burgers fries and a drink.
